Miller making EP a superStarrr!!

That was nearly a perfect road period. Man are they on a roll & dominating huge. Even puts a smile on Marwoods face & that is something else. Reuby disappears. Booner lurking.

When the Lotto Line is on the ice with Hughes and Hronek at 5-on-5, the #Canucks  expected goals per 60 is 105% better than the NHL average, which is bonkers.

I didn't realize there was a max player salary... $16.7M

It'll be 17.5 next year

Chicago has the cap space.

Max is 15% of the cap. 👍

That's just nuts considering league revenues. I think the NHL still relies mostly on gate revenue to fund their teams. No wonder the average Joe fan can't go to games.

Or just read NuckFU's play-by-play.

You missing your buddy?
Check on the pizza before it burns.

Pens are opportunistic to stay in this game.

Early big saves by Jarry kept this from being a blow out.

I like it.
Go big with the current core locked up.
Get a vet that knows how to win.
Crosby is a pipe dream, but I’d settle for Malkin lol. Or another vet like Claude Giroux
Tarasenko is essentially a more injury prone Kuzmenko. Pass.

Giroux would be okay. Hartman or Jenner would be okay. I just think a big star with pedigree would make this team that much more deadly.

Easy tap in if Myers passes to JT.

Jarry and Crosby denting Canuck PDO in the second.

Giroux for sure but Sens neeed vets.
Both Hartman & Jenner agree 👍👍
Minny needs Hartman & CBJ Jenner while their prospects improve.

Stamkos, Henrique

I would jizz in my pants if we could get Stamkos. That's a dream that will never come true.

I'm thinking big Richard energy moves. Some of these players aren't worth the trade cost to the franchise, because they don't move the needle the way I'd want if we were (frank)ing the future. Malkin seems like the best hope if Pittsburgh fades down the stretch.

Pens playing a better game against the Canucks than the last 3 or 4 teams. We might have seen the last goal in this game.

PDO still clicking along at a goal per 7 shots 14%.

Kuz a first and D Petey.

Agree on all accounts lol

Yup so time for a 3rd period shutdown & counter when the chance. Kuz playing better but he’ll be sat some.

Kuz a first and D Petey.

For a 39yr old? Can’t see it. Giroux is playing at a higher level & he isn’t going anywhere.

The NBA is even crazier on contracts for an inferior sport compared to hockey but wtf do Americans know. Cue Lefty lol
