Pre-Game Talk: Camp Thread

[egelband]

Yeah I don't know. Goalies have weird value. Unpredictable. I'd love to keep Georgiev, but we'll have to move him eventually and it's unclear if his value will increase. I mean goalies can be pretty up and down, and for someone like Georgiev that will only get 25 or so starts as a full time backup to Shesterkin, it's not unforeseeable that he could have a bad season and sink his value. Small samples can produce wild results. I guess by the same token he could tear it up and increase his value.

Anyway, I just think it's a matter of the team not being inclined to buy out Lundqvist and probably not wanting to go with three goalies next year. So, you move Georgiev and hope that in 21-22 that Huska or Wall can take over as backup, or you can sign a decent one for cheap.

Yes. And with flat cap, a cost-controlled inexpensive starting goalie will be more valuable than ever. So I could see a team buying out or not re-signing their expensive starter and giving up a decent prospect or even a decent draft pick for Georgiev.

Hurricane Douglas is projecting to be the first hurricane ever to make landfall on Oahu within the next 3-4 hours. Avenge us!

zucc is provably really like 5’5” off of skates so less lol.

Martin St Louis made Zucc look like a giant by comparison however.

Looks like a few players brought monitors with them, Lundqvist brought a guitar, and Panarin brought a bread-making kit. The team looks like a group of prep schoolers in their matching outfits lol. The sneakers they're wearing look pretty nice, anyone know what brand they are ? Hopefully the Rangers media person is able to put up more behind the scenes vids on Twitter as the team settles in.

Panarins are Off-White, no idea what the ones everyone else are wearing are

It’s kind of a throwback to a youth hockey tournament. Hope no one gets kicked out of the hotel for playing knee hockey in the hallway.

By the way if we have to rely on NYR twitter for updates we’re not going to get anything but jokes and fluff. No actual updates coming thru this tourney from them

I hope Staal does.

unlike the hard hitting reporting we normally get...

 

[NYSPORTS]

I hope Staal does.

you need to bend at the knees to play so we need another out idea for Staal.

Last week was the key week and the players AND the NHL knocked it out of the park.
I was hoping something close to the EPL which I believe only had one or two positive results on average weekly. Zero! Now hopefully all the guys can behave until this tournament is over.

 

[Leonardo87]

Seems the NHL got it right, MLB not so much. Good for hockey!

It might be still 48 hours out before the beginning of the game, but I am looking forward to the @Loffen GDT stickied to the top of the page.

Do you live in Hawaii? The islands have a remarkable ability to avoid direct hits from tropical storms. They always seem to change course or lose steam en route.

f*** YES!

So now I feel more comfortable and assured when I say,... LGR!

Just when I say I feel more comfortable that we might see a Stanley Cup Final in the middle of a raging pandemic,... half the Florida Marlins baseball team gets infected. Ugh!

I know MLB can't possibly be as safe as the NHL, but still.... it makes me nervous. I don't know how MLB is planning their season, but I know they are not playing in Canada, in only two places.

MLB didn't have the same option.

 

[Leetch3]

MLB didn't have the same option.

MLB did have the option. they proposed having 2 hub cities to avoid travel and the players said no.
