Yeah that seems like weird info. I missed it does it say on Reddit who said it?
Kent Nilsson is on the broadcast today but he is in Panthers organisation now. So he shouldnt know that.
Im guessing that the only possible way for correct info to get to Swedish TV would be if a Swedish player is included.

Not nearly as funny as New Zealand/Australia jokes.

Yeah I agree, 99% that it is bullshit but It would be interesting to know who said it.

I know the caps have a pretty good PP, but why not pull the goalie and go 6-4?

The only Noticeable Swed we have is Vejdemo

Yes him too. But I don't think he's the same worth as Drouin. He's still a good player though

They never even showed it.
Seems like a case of the refs trying to keep a big-name team in the game.

Ducks might be offering Vatanen for Drouin

So who is the new Carolina captain?
Should be Faulk. Good Minnesota boy.

STOP RUNNING OUR GOALIES
Probably won't name a new captain til next season. Assuming Eric doesn't come back in the offseason it'll probably either be Faulk or J. Staal.

That would seem counterproductive for a team trying to win a Stanley Cup this year.

I didn't see it very well, but to me it looked like Ekblad pushed Scandella into Montoya.
That said, Scandella didn't do shit to try and get out of the way.
If Eric doesn't re-sign, I bet it's Jordan :lol

Selfishly excited for this Staal trade. I'm a NYR fan, but first and foremost I'm a Zuccarello fan. If I have to choose between Zucc winning the Stanley cup at least once, and Rangers winning it 10 times in the next 20 years without him, I'm going with option A.
:lol :lol :lol
We keep trading away decent prospects for cup rentals. How has that worked for us the last couple of years?

So you all thought your teams were tanking.
The Coyotes might not win another game this season. Taking the tank job into overdrive.

Is Hamonic going to get moved?
While I agree it hasn't worked, there are two things here:
1) MSL and Yandle weren't rentals. We got an extra year on them. Staal is a rental, though I'm curious to see if they try to keep him. No idea what the plans are there.
2) I wasn't a fan of giving away Duke and I'm not a huge fan of giving away Saarela either but I do think they have to go for it, even if we all know it's highly unlikely we'll win (or even come close tbh), because you just never -really- know in this league. Anything is possible when you make it to the dance. Our window is closing. It's a business and the aim is to win. With where we are now you knew we'd be buyers. They're not selling when we're in playoff position with Hank still prime. "Kick at the can" and all that.
I certainly would have liked to see us move Yandle for Nichuskin (which was rumored to be an offer at some point) and make a few other moves, then go get Shattenkirk and bring in Buch, Skjei and whoever else for next year, but that's just not how teams think and act. Hank and others would likely have been furious with that kind of attitude. Let's sell now and prep for next year maybe because the Caps and Hawks are loaded. Eh.
I just hope Staal does well for us and doesn't take as long to acclimate. He's certainly something we needed and can use. If Nash comes back strong and our two, um, struggling (I'm being polite here OK? Lol) D vets keep up more of their recent play... dare to dream we make it deep.
I'm pessimistic but there's some hope and belief in me still!

With Eric Staal joining the team tomorrow morning, the Rangers have sent Marek Hrivik back to Hartford. Too bad, as he had played great since his call up, and the 4th line was suddenly really good and scoring goals. Expected, though, and having Hrivik back in the AHL now gives the Rangers about a million dollars worth of cap space to play with over the next 23 hours.

Hmmmmmmm Islanders have been quiet so far. I wonder who Arizona gets. If a trade between them goes through.
Ah, shame. Hrivik - Moore - Fast for the playoffs would be great I feel.
Though Glass does at least wear down opponents a bit. Only real thing he does other than be a good team guy. We've got some big bodies playing physical now, up and down the line up. Can't hurt.
Crackers is on waivers 🤗 does that count?
