  1. Comets lead 3 - 1 at the end of the 1st. Goals by Joshua (St Louis), Jasek and Lockwood DiPietro in goal. Nice save on a penalty shot
  2. This too: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2942069-nhl-rumors-latest-buzz-on-nikita-zadorov-devils-hurricanes
  3. See: https://fifeflyers.co.uk/shop/product/away-replica-shirt-2019-2020-season/
  4. Pfffft - whippersnappers Was taken to my first live hockey game by my big sister maybe '51 or '52. Fife Flyers. Team was 90% Canadian ex- servicemen who stayed on in Scotland after the war, either married a Scots lass or thought that job opportunities were better there. Never saw another live game until 78 which was a Leafs - Habs game (I think I have told this story before ... had my English fiancee over and we had 2 of the 4 Company tickets (4th row, center ice above the team benches). Leafs got a PP, and the whole crowd started the chant - except my g/f, whose English accent could clearly be heard yelling "Ho, Heave Ho". Next to me were the Corporate Secretary and his wife, and he turns to me and asks "Is she with you?" I never lived that down!! Little bIt of trivia ........ Fife Flyers Ice Hockey Club is the oldest professional ice hockey club in the UK, established in 1938. The Flyers play their home games at Fife Ice Arena in Kirkcaldy which has a capacity of just over 3000 (seated and standing). The arena is home to not only Fife Flyers, who play in the Elite Ice Hockey League but also to Kirkcaldy Junior Ice Hockey Club. Traditionally many of the Flyers' players have come up through the junior ranks to play at a professional level.
  5. Hilarious..... Where do you find this stuff? I mean, what do you Google to get results like that?
  6. Not surprising that Petey is drawing out his injury as long as possible - he doesn't want to come back to this Keystone Cops drill
  7. I'm thinking .... instead of bemoaning Jim's not signing Toffee, maybe we should be whining about not signing Tanev and Stecher. I don't remember last season being this bad defensively ..... maybe covid is more than we could handle (if so, play the rested players, Green)
  8. Hughes an ill-advised pinch, Bo flailing and Hogz coasting back. A chapter of defensive lapses there
  9. Hughes has all the skills to be a top 6 forward ....... which he should be. He's a crappy defenseman
  10. Except... Toffee would be several goals fewer had he been a Canuck playing the Habs, and not vice versa - and pick any Canuck on that list (with the exception of Eriksson who's inclusion is not really relevant except to make the math worse) and they would have several more goals were they to have been playing for the Habs vs our Canucks So really, a bit of drivel for a giggle - that's about all. But it's a dog whistle for the "fire Benning" crowd
  11. Schmidt gives me Sbisa vibes, without the hitting
  12. Gadjovich with both goals in a 2 -1 OT win
  13. The young kid from Belarus is getting rave reviews https://eprinkside.com/2021/04/28/danila-klimovich-continues-to-steal-the-show-at-the-u18-world-hockey-championship
  14. I'd say we are missing the much underappreciated Beagle, too.
  15. That ship has sailed. You might as well say you'd rather have McDavid than Pettersson., ain't going to happen, but dream on
  16. Which is exactly why Green should be deploying his taxi squad. 6 fresh bodies, plus 3 more roster players is about 1/2 the team, but no, the cap math is too complicated, just go with one minor change to deflect any criticism
