I might be an old man yelling at clouds here but I feel like there is a disgusting amount of advertising on the ice now.

I understand more revenue = higher salary cap = more for the players and but it looks awful

Idiotic.


Boston has since rescinded the contract but not after the PR they took and even at the expense of their team's lockerroom leadership a la Bergeron, Marchand, et al...

Hockey players dont get enough credit for the skill they have. Especially the hand eye coordination. Make this shit look effortless

Apparently, after winning the cup you get a second reward of having a million injuries the following year. Two games ago we were up to 8 players out. Get 2 back and then 2 more get injured so back to 8. This is nuts.

This franchise must realize that the system is what it is all about...goalies are alot like QBs...the obvious minimum is an NHL-caliber player in net...no sh*t...but, after that...it has to be the system via backchecking, play of the blueliners...

If they think having 2 of the best offensive players on the planet solves everything...they are on glue.

I would venture to say the system is a larger part of it outside the top 3-5 goalies in the league. Just look at Colorado. Not saying the Avs have had scrubs in net but we are going on the third year in a row with a different starting goalie each year and making it work.

Chicago did the same thing. Detroit before that. I mean, he no longer posts in here but I had a heated debate with Moog on this awhile ago where believed it was the goalie.

Sorry, I'd have preferred to send it to N.J. to the guy that customizes my jerseys but their security not only demanded sending it to my registered address but sent a pin to my phone to verify the charge.

Yep, all too familiar with that curse. Sadly I think it's the toll it takes on these guys after playing that deep into the summer and not letting their bodies recover

This write-up showcases why Oil will continue to not win it all: https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/the-oilers-sh...on-t-1.1879018




Maybe they trade Drasailtl for a blueline anchor.

It may be blasphemic to Oil fans but it may be what is needed. Cuz, they keep running out the same formula and running goalies out of town...it's not the goalie.

The Malkin/Sid of this generation in Edmonton...completely wasted...

Remind me, at what year of the Pens dynasty years did you guys win with Sid/Geno? It wasn't the 234832974 years Edmonton has taken with McDavid, right?

Got to the SCF 3 years after Sid's first year (2005), won the 4th year. Malkin was a year after Sid, so 2 and 3 after his rookie year (2006) respectively

K...similar trajectory like the Hawks when Toews/Kane arrived. Your team had Letang to anchor and that blueline was deep AF.

Hawks obviously had Keith and Seabrook as their anchors. Looking at Edmonton's blueline, I think their 'best' in Nurse is at most, a 3rd pairing on the Hawks/Pens rosters during their Cup runs.
