Finally real hockey again. Vegas will take a step back this year . They gave up too much character losing MAF and Reaves.

Felt like a playoff game. Seattle was much better than I thought they would be.

Rangers can preach all they want about “culture”, yet they’ve firing franchise institutions, overpaying coaches to coach, overpaying guys to stay, overpaying guys to sign, and now a second top-10 pick requests a trade in less than two years WTF?

Model rebuild 101

Thanks Carol, close game between the Krak and Knigits. Haven’t seen it mentioned here but Nate Mac out with Covid.

Tomorrow’s game 5-3 Oil, OEL dash 4

Canucks 3-2 SO

I feel like the bolded is any Canadian team, or any team that isn't good or in a good city. It's a pretty big list, I guess just not normal for an NYC team lol

5-4 OIL. McD & Drai 4 pts each.

Hughes -4 so you Reuby can pull the I told you so card.

Mass Panic ensues.

The team needs to improve defensively, or it will be another long season.

Likelihood of team defence improving?

"We made the pick based on positional need over taking best available player"

He does go on to say why they made the pick with aging defenders on the roster and OJ had a pretty good year.

If it was Chychrun, Sergachev, McAvoy picked at 5oa no one would be complaining about picking positional need.

I don't think enough people realize how AZ actually saved Vancouver from being the team to take Hayton over Hughes.

Next time you see John Chayka at the pub, you buy that man a pint.

Vancouver got Hughes because two guys Bergevin and Chayka drafted for positional need.

SKA announce the signings of Nikita Gusev and Valentin Zykov.

Doesn't seem like Matvei Michkov, Fyodor Svechkov, Nikita Chibrikov, Maxim Groshev, Zakhar Bardakov, or Ivan Morozov will be getting many more chances in the KHL this season.

I wonder if you will see more Russian kids coming over after they are drafted like Klimivoch. (Yes, I know Klim is Belarusian.)

i cannot believe someone who has never crossed 50 points is going to be paid 7+ million for 8 years, but enough about brady tkachuk. that nick suzuki contract looks pretty good.

I call BS. They went an entire draft without selecting a single defender. Defenders is even more of a positional need now than when Jim took over almost a decade ago. Simple incompetence.

If Hughes gets all his points on the PP and Edmonton scores all their goals at evens is Hughes -9…? Think about it.

Calgary got tkachuk cause we drafted positional need. Benning should be lumped into that group as well.

The Nashville Predators have been working for some time on an extension for Mattias Ekholm, and have finally reached an agreement. Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports that the two sides have signed a four-year extension worth a total of $25MM. The $6.25MM average annual value will be a substantial increase over Ekholm’s current deal, which carries a cap hit of $3.75MM and is set to expire at the end of this season.

Last night on ESPN while watching the intermission they called the Pacific Division the "weakest division in the NHL", which I agree with, they (the announcers) also said Las Vegas will easily win the Pacific. Which I also agree with, they still have a very good team even without Fleury in net.

Looking over the Pacific Division there's a lot of mediocre to shit teams, wow, probably only the minimum number of teams make the playoffs.

Looking forward to seeing the Canucks play the mighty Oil with McJesus and Draisaitl tonight!! Hopefully someone runs over Smith

Somebody always gets someone because someone drafts for positional need.

They are all in the same boat.
