  1. They got teams scared at the expansion draft and got lucky had a few good years and now they are paying the price. COVID/Flat cap did this time dirty Asset management is not strong with this team. Can’t just spend to your hearts content. They have under 900K and have multiple holes in their roster. They went from the castoffs to the overpriced team.
  2. They have Roslovic, Jenner, Sillinger and Kuraly currently 1 to 4
  3. Was surprised but can see why when you break it down. Sometimes the pressure of playing for the “hometown” team takes the fun out of it He wanted to be close to home…this gets him closer while being in an area that his wife who works in medicine can thrive. Close to Philly border as well. At the end of the day he did what is best for himself and his growing family plus if CBJ can sign him he’s got a decent line mate in Laine
  4. Like the signing. Def brings a bit of muscle and speed to our top 6/9. Improves our PK. So Pearson maybe Garland out? So our potential lineup if we keep Miller? Miller-Petey-Boeser Mikheyev?-Horvat-Podkolzin Kuzmenko?-Dickinson-Hoglander Dowling?-Lazar-Lockwood? OEL-Myers Hughes-Schenn Dermott-Burroughs Demko Martin
  5. Question for you all, Had a buyer buy tix for one of the december rescheduled games and they can't go now which is totally fine. They can't transfer as its greyed out on their end and not in my account? EDIT: Totally realized the new dates only happened a couple of days ago. LOL. Will give them a day.
  6. Gudbranson is the type of player who would have been a top 2/3 Dman in the 90's. Unfortunately that's not the game anymore. If put in the right pairing and right situations he could do well, its 2M but its only for a season. If it doesn't work oh well
  7. I would take prime time Lindros. He was a guy you could not get off the puck and knocked down his opponents. Would have been interesting to see what his career would have ended up as if he had stayed healthy. Could the Flyers have won the Cup?
  8. Worth (on Netflix) 9/10 Tells the story of how the 9/11 Victims Fund was determined to be distributed to all of the victim's families. A man who needed to learn empathy and not just see the numbers. No matter what it was never going to be perfect. Great acting from Keaton & Tucci. Although it never really answers the question it asks.
  9. Splitting a half season with a couple of work friends. We all work in Langley/Aldergrove so it works out well. Not sure what other AHL teams pricing is but it does seem a little pricey.
  10. My dad is American from Boston and we were living in Boston at the time. School had just started and our math class had just begun. We had tv's that made school announcements and they put on the news of the 1st tower being hit. Esp after the 2nd one hit parents started to arrive to take kids home as there was a lot of unknown's at the time. My dad was on a flight from Detroit to Boston and my mom picked us up from school and took us home. When we got home she put on the TV and we watched the news coverage and we never got to watch TV after school. I didn't realize till I was older that she was using it to distract us as she tried to track down my dad who had to land in Cleveland due to the FAA groundings. I now have family who are NYFD or in the military because of 9/11 and the day still brings up a lot of memories. It's amazing how fast time flies when you're not looking.
  11. So Buffalo's way of keeping Eichel happy and for Hall a short term blow the stats ups season and then cash in next year when the cap/teams could be in a better situation.
  12. All good things come to an end and well maybe when the "core" four aren't making a combined 33M you can keep it going. Was dominant when they were winning but the last couple of years they haven't had that 2nd level of talent being able to stay long term.
  13. As much as I love Tanev, we would have lived to regret the 4 year term esp with his unfortunate injury history.
  14. It was such an interesting watch, a lot of points were brought up. I really don't agree with NHL teams and hospitals/medical companies being on deals together. Ryan/Kyle Quincy brought up a very good point in that they are basically paying your team to push their products/treatments. I would hope this isn't the case but when team doctors come from the same hospital/medical center that is in a sponsorship deal with the team, how much onus is on them to get a player back on the ice no matter the cost to the player? It needs to be something that is said to the players before the season starts. A guy doesn't give two $&!#s about side effects in a middle of a game and he just wants to get back out there and from the sounds of it Toradol is a version of a pain killer that players can't get addicted in the narcotic sense but when a drug can take the pain away to the point that a player feels nothing? All sports not just the NHL has always been Next Man Up mentality and if your a bubble player what are the chances you take a drug like Toradol that keeps you on the ice and not finding yourself replaced by someone else. On the other hand, some onus has to be placed on the player, that doctor is paid by the team. Get a 2nd opinion or find another way of. treatment (although when team guys do that, its frowned upon such as that Gulls strength coach that was fired for mentioning cpd oil to players). In the end the players are basically just employees of the NHL team and no matter how high up the chain you go of an organization they will do whatever it takes to keep a profitable business alive and no matter what drug it is, all of them have some kind of side effect.
