Around the NHL XIII: Off Season Edition

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Better at hitting the glass behind the net?

Absolutely.

Better at fumbling the puck and making unforced turnovers?

Absolutely.

Better at hockey?

Absolutely not.

This. And I never agree with 77

Sharks Kings playing outdoors at the new SF 49ers stadium in February.

Is there any other outdoor games? (Other than the caps)

McDonagh was playing against Crosby while DZ was playing against Tanner Glass. This is strictly a Del Zotto - Moore/Klein- Moore topic. We aren't comparing 1D vs 3D Sv%

In that case, Moore and Diaz also had higher sv% than Klein. Surely it's due to their superior defensive presence and not just random shooting luck through small sample sizes, right?

 

[eco's bones]

All I can say is I like Klein. That the Rangers 3rd pair after he showed up played with a ton more composure. I didn't worry about them much after DZ left. The other thing is I'm glad DZ is gone because frankly I don't think he's good enough to play a regular rotation for our team. He can frustrate the **** out of Flyers fans now.

Hahaha I actually chuckled. :highfive:

 

[SupersonicMonkey*]

If Klein was Swedish he'd love him

That's uncalled for.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Pens re-sign Sutter 2 years 6.6 million.

 

[Zil]

Please let McIlrath be decent enough to overtake Klein so these discussions can stop.

I certainly don't miss "DEL ZOTTO SHOOTS... WIDE!" and although I understand why it happened often - he's shooting like a scorer/sniper and not to get the puck on net - a lot of the wide shorts resulted in odd man rushes the other way.

I wouldn't be surprised if goals scored after wide DZ shots were similar or equal to an expected & reasonable goal output (~10) for him.

Dal Colle looking pretty good for Canada in the exhibitions. Eventually the Isles have to start really hitting on these picks. Don't they??

Not if they give them all to Buffalo. I'm torn between wanting the Islanders to be the worst team in the league this year and being terrified of the possible dynasty the Sabres are constructing.

Eh, they've been doing a pretty damn nice job of stockpiling talent as of late. Their biggest issue was lacking patience with kids. Some of those kids are really starting to find their game. De Haan in particular looked very good as the year progressed. Thought that kid's development hit the kids but he's really turned a corner.

No it's not. It's a joke. I like to tease mint about Swedish players because he mentions them a lot. (Even tho he is right about certain players that happen to be Swedish)

There are agenda posters out there. It isn't hard to spot.

Remind me how this Klein/MDZ debate started up again.

Fitzy's sister was abducted by corsi.

I miss that show.

Aaron ekblad has a concussion. Man Florida definitely has the injury curse there

 

[Cassano]

This is probably wishful thinking.

 

[AHB*]

This is probably wishful thinking.

Did you just compliment Klein in a back-door way? Just saw a pig fly by my window.

 

[arunnair87]

Do we have the cap space to re-sign John Moore?

 

[BBKers]

Do we have the cap space to re-sign John Moore?

Nope
He is definitely gone
Most likely KHL bound where his skating might pay dividends
