Miscellaneous NHL Discussion: 2016/17 Season, Part V

[Tripod]

With Philly playing the Leafs tonight, Hockey Central talking up Philly!

 

[Tripod]

Talking how teams used to hate playing in Philly.

 

[Hiesenberg]

So Sestito called up, boards Enstrom, will get suspended.

If the Department of Safety did their job and suspended Malkin instead of kissing the penguins ass AGAIN. Maybe none of this happens

 

[Curufinwe]

I was hoping they would talk to McLean about how the league is not making the protected lists public, since he was a GM last time there was an expansion draft and the lists were public.

Malkin getting dominated is a thing of beauty. The bum can't handle things even up. Huge props to Wheeler.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

They can't make the lists public because it creates friction between the players and teams, just as arbitration already has. Ladies and gentlemen, the NHL.

 

[Garbage Goal]

Doing something completely opposite to what the fans want and completely adverse to entertainment? All in the name of making things feel more comfortable for a collection of millionaires and old boys club members?

Yeah, sounds like the NHL. I don't even know why I get surprised anymore. Just thought Vegas might be an exception since it's an extremely rare event and there's a plethora of entertainment opportunities to take advantage of.

Nah, let's just keep as little discomfort as possible for the GM's and players.

Sam Gagner has 17 goals this season. What the hell

 

[kudymen]

Sam Gagner has 17 goals this season. What the hell

Sam Gagner also has 3 goals in 2017, all of them in March

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Sam Gagner also has 3 goals in 2017, all of them in March

He is like schenn, **** defense, scores only on powerplay.

 

[Hiesenberg]

Sam Gagner has had an interesting season.

[Rebels57]

Yeah I think everyone knew that Gagner's production was not sustainable.

He was riding a ridiculously high shooting percentage, and 9 of his 17 goals are on the Powerplay.

 

[Winston Wolf]

Devils are getting spanked 4-0 by the Coyotes in the beginning of the 2nd. Schneider has a sweet .600 save percentage tonight.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Devils are probably going to finish third in the lottery odds with LV.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Good fight between Bennet and Trouba tonight. Looked like an old WWF match, both were bleeding and Trouba was really split open

 

[Hiesenberg]

Buffalo beat Columbus, figured something had to be off, Bob didn't play, everything makes sense.

Also Bob may win another Vezina...so nice we traded a franchise goalie after trying to find a franchise goalie for 30 years. lol

 

[bennysflyers16]

Leafs win it on a softie, Neuvy level.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

about to do it again, mark my words when Mase goes elsewere...

 

[Rebels57]

For sure. Mason isnt on Bobs level but he is comfortably a top 15-20 goalie still. We let him walk with no replacement plan, its going to be another punch to the guy of the Flyers faithful.

 

[bennysflyers16]

about to do it again, mark my words when Mase goes elsewere...

But then could trade Hart for him in 2 years ?

 

[Winston Wolf]

And of course, I jinxed the Coyotes.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

But then could trade Hart for him in 2 years ?

Hahah, theres no chance Mason would come back after traded away...

either way im certain after this season he will land somewere legit. and the Flyers will be stuck in the mud making no changes of import...

im fully prepared for the craptastic players to remain/resigned and the coaching to go unchanged aswell..

cuz you know "they battled"....

 

[Striiker]

Can we at least wait until he's definitely gone before crying?

 

[bennysflyers16]

I'm not too worried as there aren't any really good teams for him to go to. Maybe Dallas if he's cheap, maybe he could be the guy Wpg needs to get them into the playoffs. Canes maybe too

 

[Flyerfan4life]

Can we at least wait until he's definitely gone before crying?

like i said im just bracing for it..

the writings on the wall is all im saying
