I think it's safe to assume it will be. Supposedly guys like Sanderson and Beniers have already been asked and accepted.
Really was not expecting Joe Pavelski to be a “value” signing when he signed a 3 year 7 million AAV deal at 35.
Point21 :NHL-TBL4: TBL - NHL 8h Sharks made a good decision letting him go so they could sign Karl! 21 Reply :NHL-VAN3: VAN - NHL 8h Insane how the one old guy that actually aged well they let go (granted Karlsson has had a bit of a resurgence this year but still thought that was funny)
Illinihockey Carpenter played in our organization. He was a couple years younger and not nearly as good.
Do the Arkells pay the NHL to have the players promote them because I’m convinced nobody else listens to them
And the kurachev goal in ot lol offside and then goalie interference…we have a good goal. It doesn’t matter but how can they get that one wrong with all the replays
They claimed he had control when entering the zone but he got the pass when both of his skates were already in the zone. Incredible stupidity
exactly, he got the pass right at this moment, both of his skates were already in the zone. That’s not control of the puck when you gain it while being offsides. but what the fuck do I know, this league changes the rules so often that I have no idea what they are anymore. You look at it live and nobody would see this as a goal, it made no sense on a few levels. So it was either a bad call or the rules are getting stupider every year
Skate doesn't have to be on the ice anymore, just over the plane, which it is. Interference was silly though
I just got what you are saying, so close. That call is incredibly hard to make. Let’s forget about this game but imagine in a playoff overtime. You can basically justify it both ways. When do you really have control? I would say that you need to have the puck on your stick for a second. but now that I see the rule for what it is i can understand, it makes for faster more exciting hockey if players can actually force the d to back off a little more since there is more opportunity to enter with speed without being offsides
panthers are so good, it took longer than I thought. I remember talking with you and thinking that bob might’ve been the missing piece for that team when everybody was down on the signing. So I was wrong the panthers needed more and bob was not a great signing but i knew this team wasn’t far. also, I remember you telling me that the fans would show up if the panthers were winning….nope They are one of the most entertaining team in the nhl with one top 5-10 player in the nhl and another that is a top 20 forward on their team and nobody gives a fuck.
They had 15k in the arena for Vancouver on a Tuesday and there is 15K+ again tonight. People are noticing.
Things are fucked for a lot of teams so not bitching about it but gonna be nice to have a normal schedule the next couple weeks Last 5 games have been Jan 2, 3 in 4 between the 7th-10th, then the 15th.
Measuring attendance during a pandemic is stupid, first of all. Second of all, there is absolutely local interest and you can look on tv and instantly know it’s way more full than it was around the lower rink. The exception again is just Club Red (center ice seats across from camera) which unfortunately is still what it is. Third, the team hasn’t actually done anything yet. They’ve had good regular seasons but still don’t have a playoff series win since 96. The tipping point is a playoff series win or two. Still haven’t done it even with all of the hype even last season.
good news and a good playoff run will definitely help for the next few seasons. I understand some scepticisme from fans that don’t follow closely.
i disagree with your first point, for the panthers it’s a trend and I am not sure the pandemic is really affecting this. i agree with your 3rd point. But the Miami market will always be fickle. It’s just the way it is. It’s still a very attractive market for all the big leagues.
The back-to-backs Florida/Tampa like Dallas is dealing with are brutal, not too long ago one or both were basically gimmes.
Last five games for the Wild until tonight were on December 16/20 and January 1/6/8. Have had 7 games postponed since December 14th, and I don't think a single one of them was initiated by the Wild.
that should be in mtl and Ottawa now but everything is closed so no chez pare for the dads. Not a great trip
