Hildabrand stuff still cracks me up.

All the "collusion" talk on Lamar is interesting. On one hand...I could absolutely believe the owners banding together to avoid any sort of 100% guaranteed money precedent getting set on a wider scale. On the other hand, it's laughable to suggest that certain teams should definitely be handing...

Would not have expected us to hang 8 after that first period. Nice to see some young guys get some minutes on the back end.

Yeah but given we sold off so many others (Orlov, Hathaway, Joahnnson, Eller), seems weird to hang on to guys like Sheary/Smith. I know there's talk we might extend van Riemsdyk, so not moving him might make a little sense.

Pretty surprised we didn't try to flip Craig Smith for a mid/low pick, or try and move Conor Sheary. Either would have been an okay potential depth piece for someone I would have thought.

Reminds me of our last game v the Ducks. Something like 65% expected goals for but lost. Thankfully noted goal scorer Tom Wilson potted 2 last night to prevent the same thing happening less than a week later.

That feeling when you watch that teaser then see "Mobile MMO".

Adding a guy with 5 mil cap hit for 2 more years doesn't seem like great retooling of bottom 6.

Anybody know what Hextall is doing?

Ottawa going big. Although frankly if the asking price was only that, I wouldn't have been unhappy had we given up that much.

So much action around the league

Don't think Wilson should really get shit for the pick. We've all seen that crazy still shot of when he's just about to throw the ball. Just looking at that pic you'd think 80% TD, 20% incomplete if DB makes a good play.

Pretty pleased our GM recognized where we were both this season and going into next with all the moves he's made. Only had Carlson signed beyond this year on our blueline, managed to get good assets back from moving Orlov, turns it into Sandin, signs Jensen to only a 3 year extension (good)...

Reminds me of Caps' one President Trophy year where Pitt had 2nd most points, and Columbus had the 4th most points in the league.

I love this move for Sandin. 22, $1.4M cap hit next year than RFA. This feels like Orlov's replacement but a decade younger.

Wasn't sure how we'd come out with the Orlov trade still fresh, but I guess you lose 6 in a row, it's plenty of motivation to go out and get a W eventually.

Hahaha, nice. Nice to see us actually score some goals again, having Wilson back in the lineup and Oshie looking back at full health is nice. We've been so starved for goals the last bunch of games crazy to see us actually put up 6.

Rumors were that Rags and Blackhawks were hammering out details.

Eh, not sure how rebuilding it'll be anyways. With how much time Backstrom, Wilson, Oshie, and Carlson all missed this year, it just hasn't been a normal year. Not to mention losing Connor Brown basically for the entire year right at the start of the season. We've had some young guys in the...

Hah, zero chance he moves. After this rumored Kane deal, you guys going to be able to make any other moves after that, anyways?

At least in Watson's case, can legit wonder if rust was major reason for it, plus small sample size coming into season so late for only a few games for a team already clearly out of contention. But possible both of them are just massive busts.

It's decent, I mean that 1st is going to be super low or maybe even just the last pick of the 1st round. But rumors were management and Orlov were far apart on a new deal (apparently mostly term), and Hathaway was going to get a raise to price himself out this summer...so I'll take the return...

Low key amazing.

I think the thing I most want from this season now is for the Leafs to lose Game 7 at home in Round 1. In overtime. On a shortie. Not even because I don't think they deserve a reprieve of a nice run to the ECF or something...just for the sheer let it burn factor.

5th round pick, although if he had come out a year earlier he might have been a late 1st/early 2nd. Not hopeful he's "the guy". Feels more like a punt year knowing we don't pick high enough to get a real difference maker (or a likely one, at least), and don't want to pay through the nose to...

Still need to figure out QB. WR room is looking pretty good, though, and RB not bad, either.

His dad passed. Think it's unlikely he's back for the stadium game

Sounds like parental health issues. Rather he takes care of his family first then be playing worrying about how they are doing.

Low key Eagle defender did a nice jot sticking to his assignment on that play covering the eligible tackle that was trying to sneak out.

And they can fuck up, and it can be two different guys making different calls a decade apart. In the end, tonight was actually a pretty well reffed game where they got a few close calls right.

They shouldn't be. We've already discussed on here that Stafford's cap hit combined with the dead cap hit from Goff the Rams incurred was a big % last year, and Mahomes was something like 17% and change this year, so that old 15% number they used to talk about has been disproven already.

Agree 100%. I just think about Niners/Ravens 4th and goal play where Crabtree gets hugged in the end zone and Jim Harbaugh is on the sidelines yelling for a hold and wonder where the consistency is.

I agree with your point, pretty much 100%. But I also get the whole "let them play" mindset for big games like the Super Bowl for some ticky tacky penalty to not cause a massive potential outcome change. There's the whole "don't let it come down to 1 play to let the refs decide it" thought...

Thing is, we see this call 3 times a game all season, but it's usually on 3rd and 3 with like 5 minutes left in the 2nd quarter of a Thursday night game. Just rough as fuck when we're watching a great Super Bowl, and it ends up being the difference between Hurts getting the ball back with like...

I wasn't sure how to respond to this statement, because I've watched a lot of NHL over the years.

I will say, I did see plenty of commentators talking about how everyone else in their division got better in the offseason while they only got worse (trading Hill, etc). Some even picked them to miss playoffs.

I really thought they were in trouble at halftime, but Pacheco and run game put in enough work, and Juju/Toney finally showed up in 2nd half to give Mahomes other options than just Kelce in passing game. Their O line actually played fantastic limiting Philly pass rush.

Window thing should calm down a little. SB winner the last 2 years basically disproved the whole theory about not being able to win with QB position taking up significant % of cap space.

In the moment, I kind of thought he might have been sorta telling Kelce to cool it down a little bit.

Honestly this outcome not so great for Philly. Hurts balled out huge, going to get biggest contract he can get now, for sure. Lot of FA on that D that will be hard to keep. Have to give them credit for the roster they put together this year but might have just barely lost out on best chance...
