Around the NHL - The dog days of the season

[Shady Machine]

Wow...I mean the money was dumb, but then you TOTALLY go and redeem yourself Chia! Nice work with the Limited NTC...that's the real cherry on the crap sundae

Is that contract even trade-able anyway? I suppose a team needing the cap floor could have taken it.

Either way, I have absolutely no idea what that guy is doing. A better idea would have been to let both walk and trade for Jarry. At least save cap space if you are going to have mediocre goaltending and Jarry has upside.

And talking about a what a team did AFTER they played us......this one goes back to October.

Remember when we played Calgary and embarrassed them 9-1...!?!?!


Well, listening to one of their broadcasters, he said that was the turning point of their season. His take of that game was that the coaching staff, Bill Petters and Co., new to the team, said to the team following the loss, "Ok. are you guys finally ready to listen to us??" And that the team began to buy into what the staff was preaching. That it took that embarrassment to realize that what they were doing, wasn't good enough.

well that. and the fact that Mike Smith is now the backup and the goalie that wasn't even supposed to make the team is having a breakout season.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Not sure I get your point.

We need to get back to our identity!

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Sharks lost 3rd consecutive game after beating us. This time to the Panthers. 6-2.

Our curse extends beyond the team and onto others.

The signing is bizarre because they are already in cap hell and Chia somehow gets the ok from ownership yet again.

Tonight Sharks v Capitals, this will break one teams slide, obviously. Hope its a good game though having to subject myself to watching the Capitals with no penguins games.

The Carolina Flames play the Calgary Hurricanes tonight. That might be a good game.

Yeah, also the Islanders / Hawks.
Two big point games tonight

 

[Turin]

Cmon Sharks, Flames and Hawks

 

[LOGiK]

Cmon Sharks, Flames and Hawks

That would be ideal, especially considering each game is their 49th game, one more than the penguins at 48, which means a loss would give the penguins a game in hand.

Pens are guaranteed to lose the 1st game back from break let’s be honest.

Who knows which team will show up. Half the guys will be at the sunny beaches the other half with their families... how much grog they have to shake off is yet to be seen. I expect a sloppy first period without a doubt.

I mean, not being negative, but they are released from the team for a few days right? When do they have to report back?

Is it against a weak team the Pens should probably curb stomp? Then probably.

Well it’s NJD...we’re a guaranteed loss to them no matter what the circumstance...

 

[Tom Hanks]

For those that criticize Shero for his drafting or Scuderi. Go look at Edmonton to what could have happened.

BMac doesn’t really criticise people too much but this is about as harsh as he gets

“I don’t ever recall a situation where you go transaction-by-transaction where the team - in this case the Oilers - comes out on the wrong side of it so clearly just about every time. I don’t ever recall a situation like that, and especially for a guy like Peter Chiarelli, who has been a very well-respected guy in the National Hockey League.”

 

[LOGiK]

LOL CAPS

 

[LOGiK]

Handsy move ov... didn't know you had that

 

[LOGiK]

Holtby watching goals go in makes this guy a happy man.

 

[LOGiK]

OV grew a pair of hands for this game.

 

[LOGiK]

What a wild game. The caps are in serious trouble with this porous play.

 

[Andy99]

Lol...McDavid asked before the Oilers game tonight how the Oilers can because a more consistent team, and he replied, “that’s a good question. Idk. We have to find a way”...

 

[Andy99]

Damn...Isles already with a goal...CHI looks like LAK in those black unis....why

 

[Turin]

Apparently the Sharks blew their entire season load on the Pens.

 

[TNT87]

Holy hell they tied with less than a second.
