Mike Augello: Kapanen concussed, Bruins lose another; Leafs vs. Hawks

New blog, who dis!?

Wasn't trying to imply you were criticizing, just making a point, sorry about that. Should've been more clear

Fenway is awesome

They do a day game on the 4th of July sometimes and it's a killer game to go to...great memories of doing that with my siblings and cousins one year.

I was criticizing myself a bit lol..

That would be neat. You guys take that day pretty serious, huh? I’d have to buy a union-Jack T-shirt and a hat that says “Canada won the war of 1812” 😜

Dubass wasn’t the GM who drafted Lilybust, but as GM he signed Duszecc. So no.

Adding a rh d prospect isnt bad at all. Will see what the kid can do.

Hawks should come out hungry. Hope the boys have a good bounce back game and effort tonight coming off the lousy Tampa game.

Hawks came off a 7 goal game, so I hope the Hawks forget how to hockey tonight

anyone listen to TSN 1200 in Ottawa, I guess Steve Warne got laid off?
damn he has been on since I have been in the area (2006) doing the morning show

Was never a big fan (mostly cuz he hated the Leafs) but he was a pretty big staple in the community forever

I have a good feeling about duszak. Also i've said it before, there was a distinct lack of college free agent signings on the leafs this season whose names ended in 'zak', so this is a net positive.

I just spent 30 mins trying to post the perfect gif for this, but couldn’t figure out how to embed using an iPhone..

From the last blog:

That couldn't be more wrong my friend.

AHL seasons count as professional years for the expansion draft.
- Scabeh

And this exerpt from the Athletic:

Which players are exempt?
Players are only eligible for the expansion draft if they’ve accrued three or more “professional seasons,” which refers to the NHL, AHL or any professional European hockey league. The key exception to this rule is that any player under the age of 20 (by Sept. 15 of that season) who plays fewer than 10 NHL games will not have that year count as a “professional season,” even if they play in the AHL or Europe.

It’s a weird rule that benefits teams who are able to play their teenage players in professional leagues, whether it’s in North America (AHL) or Europe (KHL, SHL, Allsvenskan, Liiga, etc.). This directly applies to Toronto’s two best prospects, Sandin and Liljegren. As long as they don’t play 10 or more games in the NHL this season, they’ll both be exempt from the 2021 expansion draft.

Sandin could play in the NHL today..

They’re not burying him for the next 2 seasons so SEA can’t take him.. makes no sense.. just don’t protect one of the crappy dmen.. bury Loljegren if anyone...

Oh my.

I really didn't know about that under 20 rule.

That's good news for the Habs too. I thought we'd have to protect Fleury or Brooks.

Fleury plays for Vegas and Brooks for the marlies....

Part of the reason why there is no way you'll see Quinn Hughes play 10 games this season.

Don't underestimate Benning's ability to poorly manage the amazing young talent he's been able to accrue.
