  1. Pretty bad take there, wadr. Look at the goals that were scored -- Myers flub and one Marky should have stopped, then came the deluge. Bad bounces, no-call on interference, and missed saves. That blew the game open in the space of 1 minute and it was all over. Not a whole lot that that can be taken from that game imo.
  2. Granted he's had injury troubles, but any day now he could score his first-ever goal in the NCAA...
  3. Contracts the last few years have been excellent value. Ones like Eriksson's involved ownership, so highly unlikely he had a significant hand in them, if at all. Sounds like he may be key in cap management for the team as well, the Gilman replacement.
  4. Shoulda just given everyone aluminum buttons with plastic participation ribbons.
  5. Because he saw a guy looking to light him up with an open-ice hit. Was he supposed to just keep skating into it and get clobbered? Hoglander "initiated" a response to what was coming. He was clearly not the initiator of the physical play. What, was Denisenko just blindly skating around, or maybe looking for a simple poke-check yet going right at him?
  6. What NHL team can that NOT be said of should injuries happen, that players wouldn't be raised above their levels of consistent competence?
  7. Based on what? There is NOTHING in him like Marchand, who intentionally seeks to injure other players while also embellishing and faking injury. In short, he disrespects other players and the game itself. Hoglander from all I've seen is much more like Bure -- a smaller skilled guy who will not only play physically but won't take any crap from others who try to take advantage of them. Where are the intentional cheap shots, the slewfoots, the intents to injure, the embellishment, the faking of injury?
  8. Same thing was said of Duclair. There are certainly some that can never fully process the game at NHL speed, but would seem it's just a false narrative in some cases.
  9. He didn't reverse hit in October, he swung his arm around to try to deflect. The elbow connected, so he got reprimanded. This is nonsense about "having to face repercussions", the kid is NOT like Marchand or Tkachuk out deliberately trying to injure other players. Please stop trying to equate them as if he's a dirty player like they are.
  10. There was nothing "cheap" or "iffy" or "dirty" about that play. Equating it with what Marchand does is completely fallacious. The only "reputation" possible from it is that he doesn't shy away from contact and will protect himself.
  11. Hoglander himself had the puck, and the guy was coming directly at him to hit him.
  12. Because we have no other way of clearing cap space that we don't even need yet, and we want to help the Kings with their rebuild.
  13. Those sound like the questions from 2.5 years ago.
  14. Give them Baertschi and Lockwood with salary retained on Toffoli as they have the cap space. Tyler can't expect $4.6mil on his next contract so perhaps we consider re-signing him. He'd be a pretty decent rental, reuniting him with Pearson.
