So I guess the NHL is cool with Martel headhunting Stech since they didn’t do $@*% all about it.
This league is run by effing morons.

I need to take a break from CDC. The endless whining and tantrums are driving me bonkers. Catch you all up later

@Grape Nope. CDC is the more objective forum. If Benning does a good move, most here will acknowledge it unlike over there. HOWEVER, it doesn’t mean everything he does is great. It he makes a mistake, many here will say so. Reddit is where you’ll find the Bizzaro world version of HF. They’re so positive, they don’t even think Benning’s farts stink.

@NewbieCanuckFan I don't think so, HF is more objective which is partially why I like CDC more. While there's some crazy hot overreactions there, any fanbase population (aka forum) that's more negative is pretty much ALWAYS the more objective population. Every fanbase population (aka forum) is going to be positively biased towards their own team. This is because the mean reaction or perception from other teams' fanbase (specifically those with no allegiance who are knowledgeable) will ALWAYS be more more "accurate" and therefore negative than a fanbase population of the team itself, even HF.
Basically even HF Canucks Forums has on average a more positive take of what a hockey forum with no allegiance would have, and automatically that would make it more objective than CDC. Again that's why I like CDC more, but disagree if you'd like

Dorion is setting the Senators up for disaster....
-
Sens are win now mode. They got a legit #1 centre. This improves their awful FO% and PP. Had to happen. Was reported Turris wasn't going to re-sign, and Sens got rid of a dead contract and space in Hammond.
Sens didn't give up any of their best prospects (White, Brown, Chlapik, Chabot). They will be fine.
Overpayment, but not a horrible trade.
-
I totally agree, but at least he only gave up B level prospects. I don't like the first rounder though. (Even though it's lottery protected.) I think Turris wasn't going to resign, so getting Duchene was a good move for replacing Turris, but the cost was very high.
The larger question is whether Duchene was actually up upgrade over Turris? Sure Duchene will likely put up more points, but Turris is the far better 200 foot player. They are kind of a wash in my view.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!
I will be attending Slovakia vs U.S. in 2 hours here in Victoria. I will be rooting for our boy Quinn. I will give my 2 cents on his performance as well.

Kole Lind = 29 points in 18 games
Elias Pettersson: 17 points in 15 games and 6 points in 7 Champions tournament games
Jonathan Dahlen : 13 points in 10 games including 4 game winning goals
Adam Gaudette: 15 points in 9 games
That is something to be happy about after a rough week in Canuck land.

So in a span of a week, we caused the Blues to beat each other up in practice, and Flyers coach Dave Hakstol to be fired.
Lol, leaving a trail of destruction in our path.

Wow what a choke job by the Habs!

Glad to see Canucks hockey is back to being the way it should be played.

Stevens, Quenneville, Yeo and now McLellan. No coach should feel safe!
-
Any professional coaching job will end with your firing. It's gotta be one of the most unstable jobs ever. At least they get paid a few million between the time they get hired and fired. Of those 4, I expect Quenneville and McLellan to return to NHL head coaching jobs. Yeo and Stevens -- I don't see them getting another kick at the can.
That said, there's now a number of high profile ex-NHL head coaches (Tippett, Quenneville, Vigneault) who are looking for jobs. You have to wonder who will end up where. I'd have to think Quenneville or Vigneault may end up in Florida or Seattle. Seattle is definitely intriguing because if you can replicate the success of Vegas, it'll be a nice boost to one's resume.
But yeah, I think the next coach on the chopping block is Bob Boughner in Florida. Followed by Blashill in Detroit. And then Carlyle in Anaheim.

Kawhi Leonard with the winning shot with no time left on the clock to send the Raptors to the Eastern final. What a great moment! Let’s go Raptors!
