Leafs acquire Foligno: https://www.tsn.ca/kristen-shilton-n...move-1.1621936

Those are the sexy names so far but I suspect otherwise, it'll be a -fest trade deadline day.

Hall is pretty much a shell of his former self. His peak was rather short lived.

Yumcha

Maybe on the Bruins, where he's not the alpha, he'll do decent.

Yumcha

Oilers obtain Kulikov.

I was surprised that we got old man Carter, but he was Hextall's boy, so not too surprising after I thought about it

Dude seems like a locker room cancer, I'm not sure how he's going to work out in Boston. Buffalo scratched him all week and started winning, but if he's going to help destroy a locker room it might as well be the B's

The Pens supposedly got Nicolas Deslauriers yesterday, but then it was never made official, not sure what happened there...

Leadership is well established in the Bs locker room. If he can help Krejci and DeBrusk on the 2nd line and take pressure off the top line, that would be ideal

Yumcha

Nice to see Hawks flip a player for a 2nd and 3rd pick next draft.

Which again, blows my mind that Hall got a 2nd and meh prospect. Hall. Talk about a plummet.

Suddenly I'm rooting for Washington, of course, Boston is winning.

Yumcha

And voila...as a second fiddle, Hall seems to have found his step.

Yeah hopefully the 3 game reschedule is all there is. Right in the middle of such momentum has me really worried.

On another note Hall has looked pretty good in Boston. If he couldn't turn it around in that lineup though one might have thought his early years were simple flash in the pan luck.

Thanks Pens!!!!!!

CCColtsicehockey

Damn that was an ugly game the Avs played last night.

Good win by the Pens Sunday.

Andrew Shaw retires.

One of the most dogged, toughest little motors I've seen and instrumental for 2 of the Hawks' Cup wins...I'm going to miss him. Wish him well in retirement and hope his head injuries are behind him.

CCColtsicehockey

I saw that. Concussions are no joke so sad it had to end like that. In a way glad to see him retire though and choose quality of life over staying in the game and risking another one. To be part of two cups makes for a hell of a career for any player.

So, I know McDavid is having a historic-type season.

But...is anyone of the media falling over themselves realizing he's lighting it up against Canuckian teams only? I mean, sure...NHL is NHL but when you play Ottawa 34142412 times...I mean, even Donald Brashear will score like an all-star.

CCColtsicehockey

Yumcha

Is McDavid lighting it up regularly against the Canes? Bolts? Avs? Blues? Bruins? Wild? Vegas?

I'm just naming a few of the top teams this year...like, heck no. Edmonton will be plowed over I would think and McDavid...at most held to an assist.

The Canadian media will always fall all over themselves and not acknowledge the joke that that division is, because Canadia

Yumcha

The bozos are comparing this to Super Mario's season when he scored at a similar clip...

The same bozos forget to realize that Mario came back from cancer and was in his late-30s doing this. McDavid is in an era where you can't clutch and grab and oh, he's in his prime in his mid-20s.

But, sure...let's compare apples to hamburger.

Yumcha

Seriously, Auston Matthews, McDavid, et al...and their scoring success this year is bunk. They are playing every second game against a retreading team...

If anything Panarin, Kane, and Crosby are the actual MVPs...playing against some behemoth teams regularly.

Yumcha

@ Panarin...stupid salary cap...If Hawks had him still.

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

Yeah man, it's crazy the years that Kane and Crosby are having and they won't even be in the discussion for the Hart, what a joke

Yumcha

I know...it bothers me because it's all about Matthews, Draisaitl, and McDavid...which is completely unfair to the other players playing in divisions that are way stronger.

Kane has no one and the fact he is in the top 10 in scoring is quite a feat. Crosby plays in the East division with 6 teams over .500 which are all arguably better than any of the teams in the North division that McDavid and Auston gets to play regularly. Horsebleep.

Kane goes through Tampa, Carolina, Florida, and the woken up Preds and Stars who made the Final last year regularly with only Detroit as the crap team. And oh, Chicago is in a rebuild with the entire core gone except for him and Keith. Stupid BS...

The MVPs should be Panarin, Kane, or Crosby. Period.

Blame the Canadian government for their border crossing policies. They don't allow professional athletes crossing the border yet allowing trillions of southeast asians to fly-in along with the nasty Indian Covid mutant.

Expect the upcoming NHL playoffs to be bubbles only, that's the only way to work with one Canadian team in the final four.

Yumcha

He's basically a cheat code. But, feasting routinely on meh teams in the Canadian division sorta pads his stats.

Yumcha

Again, I'd like to see what happens to him when he has to skate against the kings of the West like Vegas, Avs, Canes, and Bolts...

There is no team in the Canadian division that is IMO as good and deep as those 4 contending squads, IMO. Maybe Toronto but they are inconsistent and again, playing too much against meh teams in their division.

Yumcha

Holy fawk...

@e30cabrio , did you see the BS garbage Tom Wilson just did to Buschnevich?????!??!?


Suspend this PoS for the season. Holy fark.

CCColtsicehockey

Colorado played like shit last night for most of the game but decided to wake up and play for most of the third and win a game they really should have lost to the lowly sharks.

Hate this west coast road trip as a fan on the East coast. Five games in eight days and 4 of them start at 10pm or later. Makes for a shitty morning at work.

I saw it live, watched the replays, that was just the beginning, what about punching Panarin, WITH HIS GLOVES ON while he was lying on the ice????

He needs a lifetme ban.

I came in to post this:

NHL must ban Tom Wilson for nearly killing Artemi Panarin

This dude is seriously trying to kill someone. The game before this he crosschecked a Pens player Teddy Blueger in the back of the neck/head in front of the neck just like this. Blueger was out a good bit of time with an injury after he was crosschecked by Wilson in the back of the head earlier this season... Dude seriously is a psychopath

The year that the league helped the Craps win the cup because Ovy was "due" he injured at least one opposing player per round, in our case it was 2 players in a row yet he only got 3 games after breaking someone's jaw and laughing about it on the bench. This dude is seriously the lowest of the low

Yumcha

It's like...every generation, there is one.

We had Avery...then Cooke...now Wilson...

Seriously, the game does not need this BS.

He got fined 5k for this.... 5k!?!?!? This league is a fucking joke
