Around the NHL - The dog days of the season

You're assuming I normally read your posts.

ZING!

I'll never get the whole thing with Brandon Pirri. He gets sent back to the AHL after scoring 6 goals in 7 games while Pacioretty was out of the lineup.

I don't get it either. Production wise he should have a spot somewhere.

Remember when the Blue Jackets were gonna crush the Penguins in 2017? Good times.

Torts still being a head coach there is the part that surprises me each season.

I know coaches prefer guys who other things (e.g., Hyman in Toronto). But still...

He’s what I see becoming of Daniel Sprong tbh.

Not very many appealing nationally televised games on NBC/NBCSN in the 2nd half of the season. A lot of the teams they prefer to televise, namely PHI, NYR, DET, CHI, MIN, & STL stink right now.

Whoever just sang the national anthems in philly is terrible.

When did NHL network stop carrying HNIC? Noticed it isnt on tonight. Or is it not a weekly thing?

Vancouver V Toronto is a free game on nhl.com

Jesus, Pouliot is such a terrible defenseman.

 

[ColePens]

I would have killed for Skinner or Hoffman. Damn those guys can play and would fit our team like a glove. But not realistic, I guess.

GIVE ME CAGGIULA!

Columbus started the game in the first 6 minutes up 1-0 and 9-0 in shots. And somehow it's 14-10 in shots only for the Jackets and they are down 2-1.

BUF is not out of it and Skinner might re-sign there...but FLA (please win tonight) likely will be out of PO soon....we could trade Brass for a first and the flip it to FLA for Hoffman and maybe a +...yes pipe dream, but not impossible...

 

[ColePens]

NHL did a great job staggering yesterday. Tonight they've done a poor job. All these games are going to intermission at once.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Looks like we could get a little seperation tonight in the standings.

FLA needs to pick it up, but hopefully they can best CLB in regulation and St Louis can hold on...

 

[Andy99]

God damn FLA ...choking it away...

WTF happened to Philly? Young, improving lineup, lots of future stars at every position, what the hell?

 

[mpp9]

How the hell has Florida not made the playoffs more.

Adding Hoffman to a forward group of Barkov, Huberdeau, Trocheck, Dadonov, Bjugstad. Is Ekblad that bad or something? Luongo cant' stay healthy, I get that.

Elliot went down and the rest of their goalies are terrible. Really terrible. Probably other things but that’s a big one.

That sucks. To not be able to at least stay afloat with a goalie injury, at least enough to be close to a playoff spot though? There has to be more going on but I'm not willing to watch enough games to figure it out.

 

[Gurglesons]

Can’t believe the US is going to blow this game.

 

[Gurglesons]

There we go!!

 

[Andy99]

The Blues choking too...Isles and CBJ winning...I can’t believe we’ve won 8 in a row and we’re still in a dogfight for a PO spot...
