    Sounding like Vegas is gonna pull a Kucherov on Mark Stone when Eichel gets healthy. THIS is why it annoyed me when TB circumvented the cap. It got them a cup, fucking obviously other teams are gonna do it too.

    I wish I knew what Jarry said too because Marchand called the league soft when Panarin got pissed at him for dissing Russia. The irony is delicious. For some reason I could never quite hate the rat. He's given me reason after reason but he still doesn't bother me. Glad he's suspended and all...

    Yeah, I agree with the Calder stuff. Get ready to be angry, they are definitely pumping Zegras' tires but Seider has made Yzerman look like a genius.

    McDavid might be one of the best active athletes across all sports, but Zegras might become a bigger star. I can't remember the last time I found an athlete whose immense skill was only matched by his personality. Kid can do no wrong, quickly becoming one of my favorite players.

    Was a fun 13 seconds! Don't expect him to win the Rocket obviously, just happy to see him set a personal best. Having a home grown player hit 30 goals is actually a rarity for the Rangers.

    It would be cool, sure. He's young, it will happen eventually. I was rooting for Edmonton when they got him but at this point they deserve to lose him in free agency so I welcome the chaos.

    Seeing the Oilers waste McDavid will never get old. What a comeback for the Sens, good stuff.

    Interesting... Not sure why he would fake a vax card if he's vaccinated, but he must be if this is true. Hope this blows up in their faces, who needs defensive forwards anyway??

    Bolts are ABSOLUTELY interested in Kane. Lets be real. He's a versatile top line forward at a potentially cheap cap hit. That really depends on Kane. Go for money to pay off his gambling debts, or take a discount to have a good shot at a cup. TB doesn't have much to work with at the TDL while...

    Maybe Carolina, but no way he goes to Dallas. Not throwing shade at the Stars, but he's going to a contender and that ain't Dallas. Also, he violated Covid protocol twice so it's safe to say any Canadian team is out. Bolts just make the most sense.

    Might as well just name Kane to the Bolts already, it's inevitable. Not that they give a damn about public opinion, but the outrage is gonna be immense.

    The last Rangers game against Vegas (feels like a month ago...) only had 1 ref because the other guy tested positive right before puck drop and it was a shit show. Literally nothing was called. Interference, Holding and blatent trips. Nothing called. It was pretty much prison rules. More shit to...

    Unfortunately the NHL has an extra, higher hurdle to jump with the Canadian teams and border restrictions. Somethings gonna have to give soon, can't have players getting stuck on either side.

    There's been some really great moments in the MSQ, but holy fuck there is a TON of padding in between. With that and the queue times, it's been a slog for me. How far in is the 2nd trial? I'm almost level 90 and i've only done the 1 so far, i'm hoping the last stretch is really back loaded...

    Rangers with the best point % in the league and 2 points from the top with games in hand. Not bad for a team whose "rebuild was ruined" by Wilson. Things are starting to click and Mika is still pretty ice cold, should be even better if he gets going. Gallant is the man. Having said that...

    I doubt anyone in NY is surprised. Offense was never a question for Tony D. Gonna be interesting to see who the highest bidder is after this contract. I think once he gets locked up long term again, we'll start to see his previous behavior re-surface though I hope i'm wrong because I don't hate...

    Pretty nerve wracking, I forgot what this felt like. Keep waiting for the other shoe to drop for the Rangers, just hoping we can keep stacking these points and creating some space for whenever it does. Sunday should be interesting for you guys, Canes seem pretty unstoppable. Should be a good game.

    Feel like I have been saying this the past few seasons, but the Leafs look really good. Solid Defense and Campbell has been a stud. From watching that All or Nothing Amazon show, he seems really easy to root for as well. Also been enjoying the Wings whenever I get a chance to catch a game...

    McDavid is a cheat code, he's just unreal. Sucks my team lost, but I missed watching them play all the other superstars around the league. Fun game to watch, was on the edge of my seat whenever McJesus and Drai were on the ice.

    He's complicit in covering up a sexual assault, that then led to 2 more sexual assaults. It's been reported that he even gave the guy a glowing recommendation for his next job where his next assault would occurred. Timeliness and who has authority to fire the guy really don't help him at all...

    Also, not sure how you suspend a GM but if coach Q gets suspended by the league he's definitely done in Florida. In fact, that's probably what they are hoping for so they can justify a contract breach.

    NHL 2021-22 Season - Now A Turner Classic

    While it wouldn't surprise me if they won't, I highly suspect Q in particular is fucked. The quotes are out there and fans seem pretty disgusted. Looks bad for the org on all levels if they keep him. Babcock got canned and blacklisted for less. Chevy is 50/50. Might be too connected and far...

    Crazy crazy stuff. Gonna be interesting if Q and Chevy still have jobs by Friday. Hope this doesn't kill the Panthers juju, they've looked legit. Perfect timing for Toews and Kane to be unavailable due to Covid. Remember how quickly they protected Kane from all his allegations? Can't wait to...

    Leafs getting caved by the Pens C team. Bet they miss that North division right about now, sucks to be in the Metro.

    NHL 2021-22 Season - Now A Turner Classic

    Goaltending was a major issue. Georgiev ain't great and his puckhandling is crippling to our transition. Not a good start for Gallant starting the backup on the division rival. The bigger issue was the PK, but it's mostly new this year so it's whatever. Not gonna freak out about it yet.

    True Grittership right here, I only hope Rangers can aspire to this. He'll be out of the Gretzky race by January! No hard feelings btw, i'm excited for Hockey and feeling extra chirpy this morning.

    Kinda hilarious how the Rangers major market brought more attention to the Caps than an actual Stanley Cup. Like seriously, it's funny shit. I really doubt that there was ever gonna be a WWE brawl on opening night, but the guys we brought in are gonna lay some big hits and i'm sure the usual...

    Apparently they already spoke about a potential extension with more term and less aav. It's fine to overpay since they had the cap space this season I guess. Still dislike their offseason though. Blue line and goaltending got worse.

    Hynes, DQ and Reirden coaching team USA... that's a big yikes from me. Excited for real Olympic Hockey, but I wish we could see a full freaking normal Hockey season ffs. These breaks and truncated seasons really cater to the older teams, really frustrating.

    This has me dying. Next level pettiness. Can really backfire though, if i'm the habs i'm strongly considering taking the picks and capspace. Puts Eichel on the table for them or they could potentially get a decent pick in a deep and stacked draft. I don't love the moves the Canes have made on D...
