Around the NHL - The dog days of the season

People have NO clue how important camp is and building chemistry with your mates on a consistent basis.

GMJR also mentions this ^, being one of the reasons he likes to make trades earlier in the season, if possible, rather than at the TDL.

Says at the TDL, it isn't enough time to get to know the room, and the room know you, even besides fitting in on the ice.

To paraphrase Ferraro, "It's not like being asked to go host a show after taking a day off."

You could imagine the reaction from the hosts.

I love that video.

The Leafs should of let him sit or traded him. Signing him at the last minute was the worst move.

Aw man, it’s hilarious. Ferraro is at best when he’s riled up.

Meh I disagree. It's easy for us to say. If Jake held us like that i'd understand from both sides. It is a business at the end of the day.

Lol what.

LA getting smashed to pieces in Denver

 

[Zirakzigil]

Lol what.

He’s done nothing since coming back. He was a distraction and the team has been playing worse with him in the lineup. They should of sat him or traded him. He played chicken and the team blinked.

 

[End of Line]

Ray Ferraro ripped into the TSN crew for suggesting Nylander just step in and play. However, I’m surprised by how slow he’s started. Then again, the whole Leafs team is out of sync.

Team started cooling down when he came back imo.

 

[LOGiK]

Loving every minute of that. And yet Leaf fans still think he’s worth the moon.

I'm curious how much a moon cost?

No, it's a business. Worst thing IMO was Dubas promising Nylander that he won't trade him as long as he's GM.

That's just ridiculous.

Went to the Ducks and Devils game this afternoon. My goodness what a snoozefest. A Saturday afternoon crowd wasn’t going to help matters but the teams were at a combined 4 shots 7 minutes into the game. I didn’t realize just how bad the Devils were and how much they regressed since last season. They blew their load getting into the playoffs last year but I didn’t think it would take them this long to recharge.

Gibson was really good and the difference. Sprong and Grant both scored and Sprong was the 2nd atar of the game. Also I completely forgot Carter Rowney was on the Ducks even though the Penguins just played them a week ago.

It’s always nice going to non-Pens games just to experience the game in a more relaxed state.

Holy crap, Rask just got trucked and is down, really struggling as they are skating him off the ice. Chytil came in and hit him with a flying buttsmash to the head, Rask's mask flew off and the back of his head ended up hitting the post and then the ice. Doesn't look good.

--Rask not coming out for the second period, not even on the bench. Has to have a concussion, I think he even got cut around the brow by his mask.

 

[ColePens]

Hot damn... this Tampa/SJ game is fun.

 

[BHD]

The Flyers only have 9(!) shots on net against the Habs.

EDIT: Flyers proceed to score a pair of goals. 2-0.

 

[BHD]

Holy crap, Rask looked like a mess after that collision.

Sharks, after they beat us, lost to the Coyotes and are getting curb stomped by Tampa Bay.

Pens only tried for about 12 minutes in the first....and 45 seconds in the third.

Give my cousin $20 and he will moon anyone you choose. If he is drunk enough it may only cost you $10.

 

[td_ice]

It's ex-Pens goal night.

Bonino, with a beauty of a goal vs the Panthers. Real sweet hands on that one.

Panthers up 3-0, give up two goals in less than a minute.

3-2 now.

 

[EightyOne]

Let me guess it costs $50 to get him to NOT moon us, too, huh? What a racket!

Can we all pitch in and then get "Ovechkin still has less cups than Crosby" written on it?


Edit: Oh that moon, my request still stands.

GM's should never, ever, eeeeeever, be making stupid ass comments like that. No matter how good the player is. You just don't. It sounds stupid, it shows the GM is far too close to the situation than he should be given his position, as well.

Because now, if a team offers Toronto exactly what it needs to be a legit playoff threat with very minimal weaknesses and the asking price is Nylander, guess who looks like a f***ing moron because he professed his love for "Willy."
