Around the NHL - Episode XLXII

[playasRus]

Not sure how a 52 save shut-out is "easy" but I would not even be mad, it would be great actually, I bet the fans would cheer him on.

Just because guys who leave and then play us always have a knack of having amazing games, highlight reel goals ...etc.

One more update

Barkov's second contract is what would be fair for Brady. And that was signed after he scored 59 pts in 66 games.

All these players who insist on getting their salary in signing bonuses would have definitely failed the Stanford marshmallow experiment as kids.

 

[God Flower]

It's no secret our defense wasn't very good. A guy like Zaitsev on a better team might not even get more that 14-15 minutes a night for example. J.Brown probably doesn't play on a better team and same for Mete, Holden, MDZ ...

Zaitsev gets no respect on these boards. I could be wrong, but is he not projected to make the Russian Olympic team this year?

 

[Xspyrit]

One more update

Is he saying that star players are looking for contracts "with majority coming in signing bonuses"?

Damn, what a novelty (wish we could do that)

 

[TheDebater]

We had an excuse before....but now it will be telling if fans show up or not.

But they want both marshmallows NOW

Some of us aren’t comfortable sitting shoulder-to-shoulder in an indoor crowd of 15,000 people.

I’d love to hear that they’ve improved air circulation and filtration at the CTC.

Pretty sure I heard they invested 5 mil or something into upgrading the system, I think it was in an interview with leblanc...

If I recall it was planned pre-covid so probably just bringing things up to date

@Flamingo

I think it was 10 million for the new HVAC system

Actually this link says 11M and because of covid

That's good news, I found the interview with Leblanc, he mentioned it was planned prior to Covid and that link says 7-8 mil so if Melnyk is later saying 11 it sounds like they further upgraded because of Covid

I have a buddy who has 2nd deck seats and you need to have your jacket on in his seats because of cold air continually coming down from above. He's been to one exhibition game and says the cold air is gone

 

[PatrickEaves]

I honestly think we should take Gambrell off waivers from San Jose.

He's better than Agozzino.

 

[Senscore]

Formenton is lethal, man.

 

[Laphroaig]

Mark Jankowski has been released. I see no downside to bringing him in.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I don’t get it. How is now any different than before when it comes to excuses?

 

[TheDebater]

Well if the capacity was going to be limited to under 10,000 fans, not selling out games could be chalked up to capacity limits. Now that we have permission to go at 100%, there will be no excuse when less than 10,000 fans show up to games like it was the season before Covid.

There has to be someone else that is more effective than him. May as well play one of the prospects. If the Sens pick him up they are scrapping the most bottom of barrels.

Dahlen is back.
Dahlen scored.
23 yrs old now.

(Alex burrows is 40)

Nice, Vancouver must be thrilled he’s scoring big goals for them.
Oh wait it’s the preseason.
Oh wait Vancouver gave up on him.

Didn't like the trade at the time but so much time has passed, move on.

Zibanejad extends with the Rangers. 8.5M x 8YRs.

Obligatory reminder that all we have for trading this elite #1 center is JBD, Gustavsson and Tychonick.

came to post this. Different part of their careers but Tkachuk at 8.4+ is insane. Intangibles are great but man

 

[Fandlauer]

Solid deal for DJ Zbad. Must be nice.

 

[HSF]

Ourf takes him to 37

that’s a little long

wonder if they are out of eichel now . Sens should strike

Zibanejad has the 10th most points of any center in the last 3 years and 19th most points of any forward.

He's also the far better two-way player. Ridiculous that Tkachuk should demand anywhere close to as much.
