I’d really appreciate it if oddsmakers put a bit more respect on the fact that we got swept in the 1st round and made practically 0 changes to our team. If they continue the trend of calling the game differently in the playoffs and “letting them play” then the lightning shouldn’t be a favorite. They would not have set the records they did playing that style.
Oh shit. Them too. Might be the best value considering they'd probably wouldnt have to go through the Metro in the playoffs
They'd either need to be the 2nd WC or win the metro to have the best shot of going through the atlantic.
What's the long term plan for your D after this year? Sandin is the Leafs only legit D prospect, right? Liljegren hasn't done well in the minors I've read.
Leafs goals against per game when Gardiner played last year: 2.9 Leafs goals against per game when Gardiner missed 18 games: 3.7
Truman its amazing how alike the roads for the 2011 Cards and the 2019 Blues were for each team I hate you
Question, why the fuck was Nelson Cruz even in right field when you're protecting a 2 run lead? Absolutely love that man, can't believe my dipshit team wouldn't pay him after how good he was that year. 1 of many terrible moves to produce this AA team I'm currently watching.
He’s about to fall out the window of his first floor house. Wonder how this will be viewed by the rest of his hockey playing countrymen.
anytime you can acquire a buyout proof albatross of a contract to get a conditional pick, you have to do it.
Well Panarin is getting KGB assignment to the gulags and Trouba probably got $500k per year too much, so we’re now back in the shithole tradercane
I think trouba will be well worth it 3 years from now. Subban makes more and people were arguing that it was a fair salary. Panarin won’t be, especially if he is up in techernobyl picking up nuclear wastes.
This Trouba deal is so incredibly stupid and so Rangers. This organization will never learn. Absolutely disastrous deal like the last 5 or 6 big defense deals we handed out.
They are so different, I like karlsson a lot but he is getting older and his style of play doesn’t translate well when getting older. Trouba is not Shea Weber but his style his more comparable to a guy like him that will play good hockey for a while.
They should have just signed Maroon for 2 years 2.5AAV. Ir something like that if they want a power forward
Lucic was significantly better than Neal last year in a 3rd line role. One more point in 2 minutes less ice time, with a minute less PP time per night, and a significantly better possession player. (That's how bad Neal was on the 3rd line, and he simply was never going to move up to the first or second) Calgary doesn't have the cap space to add anything via free agency. They're probably going to have to shed more just to sign their current FA's.
Yeah, that Neal signing is probably up there with Backes (and Lucic) as one of the worst free agent signings in recent memory. It really doesn't make the Flames look any better on the whole, just shifts the scrutiny from one of their moves to another.
