Miscellaneous NHL Discussion LXI: The highway on which the bleachers are out in the sun

[BernieParent]

He didn't even count the seventh Lightning player still on the ice standing at the bench boards.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

At least we're not alone...

 

[Beef Invictus]

Yeah he's tangibly bad, but look at that choppy skating stride! It makes it look like he works harder than everyone else! That's the right way!

 

[Tripod]

Spezza back with the Leafs for 1 year at $750,000

He had 1 less point than Hayes this year.

Probably not a fair comparison. Spezza is 38 and likely wants to play/retire in Toronto. Personally if I was a rich hockey player on the tail end of my career I'd certainly pick where I'd want to live over money.

Agreed.

Doesn't change that he was on pace for 45 points this year/82 games and got paid league min. Great value.

A Buffalo reporter on Vancouver radio just said the Sabres should explore dangling Dahlin for Byfield AND a draft pick.

Wat.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Shocking Captain the superstar scores first for Habs.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Petry legitimately looks like a vampire or some shit.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Lolz. Gross goal.

 

[Rebels57]

Caufield to Toffoli again

 

[CutOnDime97]

We have to accept it. Toffoli is Ovechkin now.

 

[TCTC]

Habs looking really good so far. Getting Petry back has helped a lot.

Petry is essential for them.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

I liked how DeBoer used the smelling salts before puck drop.

 

[TCTC]

Petry is essential for them.

He's been pretty good this year. But they also need him for depth on defense. Without him they only have 3 reliable defensemen.

 

[Magua]

Petry being pretty good this year is a keen observation. Someone must watch the games.

Petry has only been pretty good for a decade.

 

[Curufinwe]

Petry being good this year is a keen observation. Someone must be watching the games.

Oilers got a 2nd and a 4th for him.

He was an analytics darling, as the kids say, on the Oilers.

Chiarelli truly was the worst.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Chiarelli truly was the worst.

He was but to be fair to him Petry was traded before he got there. MacTavish was GM when the trade went down.

Weird career arch though. He was good obviously even in Edmonton when guys like him caught all the flak for them being terrible. But he’s had his best seasons by a noticeable margin above the age of 30.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Unbelievable miss by Martinez.

Hockey gods smiling on Montreal this period.

 

[TCTC]

It will be pretty funny if Vegas lose to the statistically worst team that made the playoffs just one round after beating the Presidents trophy winner.

 

[ajgoal]

If Montreal were to win the Cup, is this the first year in history where fans of a team not playing in the Final (Toronto) riot?
