New season let's start a new thread.

Here is the latest news:







Last post from the previous thread:

Sure it’s awesome they have this ability. But also sad… as those three shots, are the only shots that Pulock got on net this year.

For all us old timers out there. Just saw that another player from the era I started watching hockey has passed on

RIP Jimmy Pappin 82 years old

Yeah, he’s got 7G and 7PP over 100+ games, who cares about how hard he shoots. Certainly, it’s ineffective on goals scored.

And to think, when I saw the shot at 56:44 of the linked video, I thought we had our own Sheldon Souray

Who Knows, He may put it all together kinda like the way Adrian Aucoin did years back. Aucoin was ineffective with accuracy for much of his career early on too.

Did you see this on the mainboards? Kadri and his parade day t-shirt...

Oh well, hard to be mad when...

Maybe I am misremembering it or I just happened to see his best games, but I remember watching Pulock in Bridgeport and it seemed like his shot was lower AND more accurate then, hitting the net with far more frequency.

I distinctly remember one game where he just peppered the Rags/Wolf Pack goalie, Mackenzie Skapski, with shots and blasted two by him, with a no-doubter and another goal that probably would have taken a top goalie to even hope to stop.

In fact, I just looked it up to confirm, and here is a summary from the Wolf Pack website: Bridgeport Completes Home and Home Sweep of Wolf Pack | Hartford Wolf Pack

At this point, can anyone even recall Pulock beating a goalie low, stick-side and five hole, let alone twice in one game?

Yes I prefer the too many men shirt. Too many men is a bad missed call, $10,000,000 over the cap is straight cheating. Cap circumvention. I’m sure in the next CBA, that loop hole will be closed.

This is fantastic.

Some people can't have nice things, even to hold for a minute

At some point they're going to have to give the fake cups to these players, gheez.

Nick Paul locked up.

With Kadri, everyone is aware he's doing a shtick. He seems like a fun guy, who can definitely be an on-ice scumbag. Kucherov ... does not give that impression. With Kadri, the hyper-machismo 'too many men' definitely has partially ironic intent.

If I won Lord Stanley's Cup I wouldn't be able to have any nice things within my vicinity for weeks.

PLL needs a version of the Cup and allow it one day to each roster member of the finals

 

[danteipp]

So are they already +$5 million over the cap, without Palat, and they need to sign at least 2-3 more players (mostly for depth)?

I fully expect more cap shenanigans from them. Perhaps with Point starting on LTIR, if they cannot find a sucker GM to take Killorn or another player off their cap.

Of course there is always a GM seemingly ready to help them out.

 

[MJF]

Big if true.


And they said it was Rick Tocchet’s job to lose.

 

[beach]

Beau or Bails for Puljujarvi. I'd do it.

I'd like to see Bails on EDM just so he can have like 10 goals and 65 assists. Unlike Puljujarvi, where plays go to die, with Bailey, they've passed away.

I'm sure that cup has some folklore to it!

One of my favorites was when Gillies fed his dog from it.

I'm guessing it's a 1 year contract?

It had better be.
