Good signing imo. Gonna be interesting to see how he does without Barkov and huberdeau. He’s an elite 3rd wheel on a line, but he’s not going to carry a line on his own.
I think it is a good signing too but i don’t know him a lot, he can score though. But like you said playing with barkov and huberdeau will help a goal scorer a ton. Not sure where he fits in that lineup, he should not take ice time away from tkatchuk.
For sure playing with Florida provided him the opportunity to play with extremely high end talent which won’t be available in Ottawa. If this was a signing in two years from now it would be perfect, just as some of these kids start excelling ( Stutzle, Batherson, Norris ).
Stamkos revealed in an interview with a longtime Lightning beat writer that his wife lost a child during the playoffs and that he tore something in his abdomen when he went around Lindell just before he scored in game 3.
yep, not sure how to feel about this. It’s none of my business, they probably made a decision together and it’s good that stamkos won a cup.
I was just fucking around with you, I have no idea what I am talking about. I saw a few comments on this board on how the Michigan class is crazy good.
On The Athletic, one of the NHL guys says in talks with people around the league, the belief is there will be a 48 game season with normal playoffs. The idea being get the season back on schedule, but also allow for Seattle to have their expansion draft with enough time to prepare for their inaugural season.
i can’t imagine that the nhl people give a shit about Seattle preparing for their next season. I would guess that means a major pay cut for the players if it’s that short of a season? I figured that they would prefer an unbalanced season schedule even if it took 2 years to get back to the old calendar to try and get as many games as possible in a hopefully post-vaccine world with fans. NHL owners have to be bleeding money without fans and not all NHL owners are rich enough to eat that. Some are but not all.
I imagine there’s 650 million reasons why they might have to give some sort of a shit. If Seattle gets fucked, I assume they’d want some of their expansion fee back.
Emrick is not even the best for hockey. He’s a legend but he’s always had an annoying voice and catch phrases. He’s not even close to Bob Cole, Gary Thorne, and Chris Cuthbert.
Forslund has grown on me over the last couple years. If he’s not going to be NBC’s lead guy I’m hoping he replaces Peckham here in Tampa.
