News from Around the AHL/NHL/KHL 2018-19

And would you look at the dirtbag Rangers, tanking perfectly.

Watch them get Hughes, just watch.

They only have a 20% chance now, even if they finish last.

Way lower than it used to be.

 

[BMOK33]

They’ll finish way better than bottom 5. They’ve had a rough start with a rookie coach but I don’t expect them to be that low

 

[CupHolders]

I said it the first week of the season. You know it’s gonns happen lol

I’m expecting it.

Nylander tops TSN's first trade bait board. This must be a mistake. Gubas gave PJB his word that he would keep the core intact.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I would be really upset if someone made a promise to PJB, he relied on that promise, and then they didn't keep their word. That would be so, I don't know ... perfect?

One of my friends just tweeted out the video of TSN ripping PJB with the #LeafsForever hashtag LOL.

Things aren’t getting any better for the Kings. Jonathan Quick had surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his knee.

I think we're seeing the beginning of the end for him personally, and I loved the way he played. The style he plays puts too much stress on his lower body. Once he can't play his style, I'm not sure he'll be able to adjust.

That team is going to be trading off some good pieces if things don't turn around quickly. I'm pretty sure that the GM is blaming the players and not the coach for their pitfalls so far.

I will preface this by acknolweding the fact that I am excessively lazy. So much so that I won’t look for the video

But is this video available to be posted here for our viewing pleasure?

If we could never have another night about Billy Joel again, I'd be f***ing thrilled. His presence is an annoyance to me and he means nothing to the Islanders.

I demand Taking Back Sunday and Twisted Sister nights!!!!

Fast forward to 1:50 mark to see Matthews scream like a school girl.

Well his shoulders are as fragile of those of a teenage girl so that would make sense.

Not sure if this is it. Pretty amazing though. I could actually listen to Leafs media if they keep talking like this.

Wow that’s beautiful

It didn't take long did it, I like when they said this isn't the Island where you could hide for a couple of weeks.

Hockey Central was getting on Johnny Jammies too.
Said that they didn't notice Tavares in the Leafs' last game. Said that in a tight-checking game he's not a high-energy, forceful center, and can't lug the puck up ice.
Said without Matthews, they lack real horses up the middle.
11 million well spent.

Traded him from my fantasy team years ago for a massive return because I just felt like the injuries would start piling up. Glad I did! Of course Bobrovsky was in the return and he's not that resilient either!!

And....they didn't already know this? We knew it. The moments he carried the team were always few and far between.

We all knew that though - they seem to be just finding it out. And it's not going to change because he is what he is. PJB is not a 200 foot player, and he's not a classic play making, puck carrying center. He needs a winger to fill that role (eg., he played well with Bailey who is really a natural C). He is really good along the walls and down low and he's got a great shot from in close. He needs other people to get the puck deep into the offensive zone and to play defense.

OMG - I love this!!!! This is happening much quicker than expected. PJB is in for rough times ahead. HAHAHAHA!!!!

Martinez will probably get moved at some point, however the price will be really high because he has an extra year on his deal.

Can we trade for Tyler Myers? The 2009 ROTY winner
