News & Notes XLIII: Cam Ward is a Cute lil 10 Year Old

[Joe McGrath]

So now that the Coyotes are gone do i have to retire my “who had the Coyotes first penalty” trivia question?

 

[cptjeff]

Why does it matter where Forslund goes? Let him go to Boston. It doesn’t matter

Yeah, if anything that'd be really healthy for the league. A major fanbase going from listening to and being brainwashed by an extreme homer like Edwards to hearing Forslund's rational and fair take on things? I think it'd slowly move them back to reality.

Eh, Gerry Cheevers was the Whalers color analyst. I’m not too worried about it.

He’s not a big enough homer for NESN. Donnie Mac from Roxbury is gonna call in to complain about the new PBP guy who doesnt know shit and hates the Bruins.

I grew up with Cheevers, it didn’t bother me because it didn’t really think of him as a Bruin. I’m sure it bothered them more than Whalers fans that he crossed over. I hadn’t watched him play. Forslund was Whalers through and through. I’m not worried about how other people take it, I’m just saying for me personally that would suck.

You can have this one: Who did Shane Doan score his last career goal against?

…Us. It was us. Empty-netter. We also gave Shanahan his last career goal.

Single favorite Brodeur &. NJD moment!!! He was good but always an overrated flopper. The salt, the tears, the insistence to this day it was GI!

I feel bad for the guy, the only reason he was still going was to keep Kladno financially viable.

I don’t believe he’s not having fun. He’s just annoyed he isn’t the player he was when he was younger. He’d probably rather people remember him for those days over how he looks now, which is funny in a way because he looks amazing for his age.

Oh I absolutely get the impression he'd still be playing at some level in a mens league somewhere, but Kladno literally would not exist anymore if he hadn't been playing for them for the last few years simply because he's the reason the sponsors are still investing in the team.

Still connected to Mario, now as a team saver.

I mean shit I was never good to start with and recently started getting back out there after taking a few years off and man is it frustrating getting old

Dating life sucks. I feel for you.


Edit: oh, this isn't the Tinder conversation thread....carry on.

There's Jagr, and then there are us meh-gers.

I’m trying to come back to playing after being hurt and getting back into dating at the same time.

His comments absolutely apply to both!

I hope we get a chance to see him! I'm a believer in the kid.

Like Seeley this is just a black ace callup with their AHL season over

So this may not mean anything, but before yesterday's game, I was told to keep an eye out for anything Guentzel does "good or bad."

Unfortunately, Guentzel did a lot of bad in Game 5, so I put together a package highlighting that, especially on the 2nd and 3rd goal against.

I was then told that package was good and they saw what I saw, but they couldn't air it because they don't want to give possible ammunition for the upcoming contract negotiations.

but they would show highlight reels of JG? interesting...

If Carolina produced TV is showing negative packages of Guentzel, I think that could make Guentzel less likely to sign here.

Nothing to do with $$, more to do with not wanting to piss off Guentzel right before he can hit the market.

Which is perfectly fair. Sports broadcasts ain't independent journalism, that's really not news to anyone.

I dont think one 15 second click of a couple of mistakes would be an issue. Its not like it would be the first time players are said to have done the wrong thing in the moment.
