Ffuuuuccckkk

Yahoo finally added redden

But he's automatically on waivers

He's gonna be paired with pietrangelo too

 

[Kave_Man]

I don't think they won a single back to back on the second night last year.

I just checked. They won 5 times on the 2nd game of a back to back.

Twice against the Islanders
Once against the Blue Jackets
Once against the Penguins
Once against the Oilers

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Red Robin has one hell of a patty melt and they make a good BBQ burger. Used to go there once a weekish, never had a problem.

So fucken glad, especially after losing Steve Downie for the season. He averaged a point a game there so hopefully he can bring even 75% of the point production to there avs. Oh and if they trade him they are cheap unless he trully is demanding 5 million.

And Red Robin rocks. Great bar too.

Spose I jumped the gun a bit about the signing. Seems like his KHL team just found the replacement they've been trying to line up for him cause they figured he'd be coming back at some point. Downie being out puts way more pressure on the avs to agree to more money for him but we're always happy to let greedy players hang out to dry regardless of what they mean to the team. We'll see what happens.

That actually shocks the hell out of me. Just goes to show you, it's hard to remember when things go right :lol

 

[Clydefrog]

oh joy the Kings play the Oilers tonight

 

[Spl1nter]

So Flyers to go 0-4 tonight against Rangers?

Wayne Simmonds - Claude Giroux - Jakub Voracek
Ruslan Fedotenko - Sean Couturier - Matt Read
Tye McGinn - Max Talbot - Tom Sestito
Eric Wellwood - Scott Laughton - Jody Shelley

That forward group is just decimated along with there defense being shaky.

At least your defense isn't as atrocious as some other teams out there. The Rangers should win, but I have a feeling you guys will steal your first tonight.

Bryzgalov has been surprisingly not terrible thus far.

Home game!
But Halak starts...
But the lines are back to normal!

Anyone got suggestions for a new domer and visor?

Everything suggests that we SHOULD win fairly handily, given recent history and the Flyers' missing pieces tonight but, eh, you can never quite be sure what you're going to get with this Ranger team. Torts is probably going to be doing a lot of shuffling around with the bottom 9 behind the Gaby-Richie-Nash line with Asham out, and it looks like Kreider is getting the boot tonight in favor of Kris Newbury.

Hoping we can just take care of business tonight, though. These should theoretically be some of the easiest 2 points we could possibly get out of Philly, but the Rangers never like to do things the easy way.

Yeah I dont see any way they win tonight. This is going to be a bad beat down.

Kyprios says that Pho might shut Smith down for the season, MacLean says they will be looking at Bishop, they have been shopping Yandle.

Luongo for Yandle confirmed.

Yandle for Bryz.

 

[Acid08]

So, Phoenix without Smith tonight. There's never a sure win but damn if this doesn't feel like one.

 

[Red_Man]

Montreal, Washington tonight. I have a feeling Holtby has a strong game tonight.

If they play a full 60 minutes like they did against the Panthers they should be fine. Price already looks in mid season form.

Ouch.

Don't be cheap Bergevin, Molson can afford it easily.

It's more about not constricting the teams cap system, especially with it going down next year, and they feel he still has stuff to prove. The good news is nothing official has been leaked, they're keeping this very formal and between Meehan and Bergevin.

I actually think it's a good policy for the team to have that 2-year bridge contract between ELC and something more long-term.

The way he's playing you may be better off with him in net.

Hearing RFA Jamie Benn is getting closer to a new deal with the Dallas Stars. Not done yet but sounds like it's headed in right direction.

Good news for the Stars.

I don't know how to feel about this...

Passed a pond on walk to BB + T Arena. One sign read "Don't Feed the Alligators" 10 feet away, another sign read "No Swimming"

LOL I couldn't imagine having to worry about alligators where I live.

I thought the injury to Smith was minor and he is listed day to day ?

 

[Red_Man]

I agree, it's just a more difficult situation with Subban because he's done so much, so quickly, at such a young age. It's hard to ask that of him when he plays 25 mins a night and anchors the #1 PP and PK units.

 

[aidan]

A lot can change in the 10 hours between that article and Kypreos' tweet.

Yeah, I think he's paid his dues. Other than a few million dollars, it's policy vs. exception.

I don't think Subban would hold out for longer than a month. Even a month seems like a stretch.

That Stadium is literally on top of the Everglades. The highway is all that separates it.

Sportsnet's hockey experts probably got into subbans head and made him feel like he's worth a lot more than he really is

He said it was a reaccuring injury from last season or so.

Well, the last quote I just read on NHL.com from Gabe seems like he believes the team will get O'Reilly signed. No guarantee , but the Captain being positive is something to me consider to be positive about when Pierre Lacroix forces the office to be very quit about their business.

More like Don Meehan and the only way he is overpaid is if he gets over $5.5 M right now.

does anyone here actually play hockey?

 

[Red_Man]

Leafs vs Pens game last night drew 3rd highest NHL regular season audience in TSN history with 1.41 million viewers.

Pretty impressive.

 

[Clydefrog]

i play inline but people in here would laugh at me if i admitted that

 

[ZeroGravity]

Pretty impressive.

The lockout actually made the sport more popular by starving people so badly. Amazing.

People realised how boring cable TV is without Hockey.

 

[DopeyFish]

Whoops lol

I wonder if its more people watching at home rather than buying tickets and going to the game.

 

[Red_Man]

Per @JFChaumont, Don Meehan indicated today by phone that #Habs P.K. Subban asked him to find grounds for a deal quickly. #gohabsgo #ch

This could end well, or very badly. Meehan and Bergevin are suppose to speak this weekend.

Edit: Deal is referring to the contract discussions.

Sens again. Second verse, same as the first?

Played goalie in high school until the rink went out of business. It being Florida, I didn't have many alternatives so I gave it up.

Lupul is out for a minimum of 6 weeks as per the Leafs

Yeah it is good news. Better than the situations with Montreal and Colorado.

Unfortunately it sounds exactly the same as what was reported earlier this week

 

[Cake Boss]

Hmm don't know if we will get the pissed off Panthers or the depressed given up team.
