It was a bad break for Klingberg but can he not see the ref was there? Also lol at a team gooning it up with 28 penalty minutes in an entire series.
going to guess him getting grabbed and pulled had something to do with him being unable to play the puck
I just don’t understand this from Anaheim’s view whatsoever, but I don’t mind the Get Out of Jail Free cards they keep giving the Rangers
6.5 is not that much any more if Kreider rebounds a little, but I have no idea why Anaheim needs to give anything back to NY for that.
Does Drury have incriminating photos of Verbeek or something? How is he not going to get anything back for taking Trouba and Kreider’s contracts.
On Marek's pod he mentioned that it took 20 years but Corey Perry finally figured out how others have felt about playing him lol. Spider-Man meme personified
I love lane hutson but him being one spot behind slavin and 4 spots in front of forsling is a problem
I had to mute his podcast tweets. Blaming game management officiating for the Oilers getting a PowerPlay in game 1 to win the game. The takes makes my blood pressure go up
I mean, do the Homer takes get old in here after a while? Of course, but dude, it’s a panthers pod. Fork found in kitchen.
It’s not even what I said. He’s just on an all time crashout. I was responding to oilers fans bitching about the missed too many men in game 2. Game management officiating leaves us with the undesirable situation where the only penalties called in OT are puck over glass and broken stick slashing. that benefitted the oilers in game one as they got the only power play. It “hurt” them in game two because of the too many men. Nevermind the assumption that they would have scored on that power play or that if game management didn’t exist the panthers wouldn’t have scored on any of their OT power plays in games 1 and 2. Everyone knows game management exists. It sucks but it’s the system we have. Don’t cry about it burning you in game 2 when it helped you in game 1
I believe so. I will say that as the cap rises and some teams implement internal caps, the sentiment will probably change.
It's incredible how things keep turning up Milhouse for the Rangers. Let's see if they actually manage to capitalize this time.
I'd much rather have a 100% Tkachuk than checks notes... Nico Sturm, Vitek Vanacek and the pick that would have been used to get Marchand double retained. But yeah. the loophole needed to be closed a decade ago.
Daly and the PA have said recently said there’ll be a clause in the CBA to close the loophole. They could’ve addressed it a decade ago after the Blackhawks took advantage of it but they’ve punted it.
The gameplan to make Mika Zibanejad so miserable that he actually waives his NMC is certainly moving. We’ll see if NYR can get it over the line
Rangers are desperate to move Kreider so the Ducks offer a prospect and the 2 best picks in the deal, while taking the entire salary, to get it done?!?
I guess my reading comprehension could use some work as well, given the 2023 bit. The ducks are still dumb.
This would have more weight if all 3 of those winners were different teams. I agree to figure out the LTIR thing but the way it’s framed here isn’t as impactful when you have a Final rematch and maybe repeat winner. It’d be another thing entirely if a new team popped in each year by taking advantage of the rule. that said, yes fix it. (They won’t)
Yeah I’m dumb. Definitely got that part wrong. but there is something to still be said that all the teams have been sustained successes outside the one LTIR year with both Tampa and Florida (2024) winning outside those years.
I would think the lineup for a game in the playoffs can’t exceed the cap. That would make sense to me.
Also fwiw I think friedge said the tide may be turning on the LTIR thing after it was repeatedly voted to keep for a few years.
Wonder if a lot of owners feel like they’re pressured to spend more to compete when there’s injuries and they don’t like it.
