    Don’t forget Seattle starts the lottery at 3. Sitting in fifth right now is actually 6th for Sens.

    Schenn just made a hit that’s going to get him suspended and it was called a minor. Great job NHL

    Makar was drafted in 2017, I don’t know what will happen in 2919 but if you meant 2019 it was byram. He is good but not as big of a loss.

    Interesting that Tampa hasn’t been playing Hedman in top match up situations this year.

    Their roster is so deep it’s absurd. It’s like everyone on their team is on a team friendly deal.

    Right always get them bassackwards. Byram would have still been good for our rebuild.

    Cheapest at LCA for the next home game is $147 but we have like an 800 person capacity.

    it’s not that bad but I would not pay that, especially since the experience can’t be that great when you are in a empty arena. But also I am poor so.

    Not saying we’re entitled to know what the personal issues are. But if they’re not health related, it seems like cap manipulation to put him on LTIR.

    Agree with your sentiment but it’s similar to Kucherov in that no player would voluntarily take time off of playing to go on IR to help a teams cap situation.

    right, but can a player go on LTIR for non-health reasons?

    In real life? absolutely. According to the NHL CBA which is a completely different thing, I have no idea.

    Speaking of the Red Wings & bathroom lines I have a story and don’t remember if I’ve ever shared it here.

    A friend & I got tickets and drove to Detroit for game 1 of the ‘09 SCF. We get there hours early and hit up the GreekTown casino which, inexplicably, was running a “buy any drink at the bar, get a shot of Jager for free”. Naturally, we over indulge over the next few hours and are hammered heading in to the game. Fast forward to the end of the 1st period and we both really have to pee (as hours of pounding beers and shots will do) so we decide during the intermission that after the bathroom I’ll get us a couple more beers and he’ll grab us food. The moment we step out in to the concourse it’s a mass of people and we’re separated. I make it back to our seats a few minutes before the 2nd starts and wait for my friend.
    Flash forward to almost halfway through the 2nd period and he finally shows up with a medium Little Caesars pizza. LC appeared to be like 2/3rders of the dining options in the old Joe Louis Arena which is noteworthy because they sold so many of these pre-baked pizzas that they didn’t even box them - just handed it to you on a flat piece of cardboard the same way frozen pizzas are packaged. I asked him what the hell took so long and, as we’re eating, he precedes to tell me that the line for the bathroom was so long & slow that he left and went and got food first. He then got back in line and took our pizza - totally open and exposed to the environment around it - with him into the crowded ass, horrifically filthy men’s room at Joe Louis Arena while everyone around him laughed and made fun of him for being such a fucking idiot.

    Pens lose and as we made the sad walk out multiple people in the giant sea of departing fans recognize my friend and call him out as the “dipshit with his food at the piss trough” and total strangers burst into laughter at our expense. Good times.

    yea I just meant by the CBA. I don't mean to speculate on something that serious, but I was just trying to think of what could fit in with the wording of that tweet.

    Apparently there is language about this in the CBA governing health so it’s all on the up and up. My guess is if Montreal was unsure they would have run this by the league and PA.

    At least it’s the kids leading the way. Puts em further away from a good draft spot but if it helps in the progression I can live with it. If these kids come out flat and go 2-15-1 next fall then fuck.

    It sucks so bad, now the pressure might turn up on him even if he needs to get away, he would’ve been good in a shit franchise without any pressure to do anything good like the panthers.

    Just hope he gets better. The last year's been rough on a lot of us, hopefully the return to normalcy somewhat helps him this summer.

    Murray Wilson used to tell us the Habs would quietly send guys to Florida towards the end of the season to get a few days of R and R before the playoffs started. Of course it turned into a shit show down there but at least they got a tan.

    That’s crazy that their over 23’s are a net negative WAR. Devils really just need Subban’s contract off the books and then they’ll be able to get going.

    Detroit is still so far away but man are we doing it right.

    We only have two players under contract beyond next season, and no one under contract for 2023.

    Give Petey all the money this summer.
