Ongoing NHL Thread Part IV - A New Hope

[esls79]

Theres was talk kesler would sit out the entire season in sept because physically hes a mess but he decided to play

My guess is he wants to be bought out as opposed to retiring and walking away from that money

To be fair, that's quite a chunk of change to walk away from - I think most players would do the same.

I thought you traded these type of players/contracts to the Yotes when you reached the end of the line. With that being said, he's been the Ducks sixth best C this season so he's still got some mileage left before the tread wears off completely.

Really happy with the Habs effort tonight....

Sucks we gave up a late point tonight, but a big win.

The HNIC panel is saying that the Leafs need to play a heavier game. Kyle Wellfed is heavy

I'm also ready

Wellwood might actually be in better shape now than in his playing days.

He played for the canucks alumni in a game prior to the superskills challenge in december and it was like Al Bundy at the senior olympic games. I think he had 5 goals but no safeway score and win for Gurpreet in Surrey

They made a comment about all the teams he has worn jerseys. His kids are Ducks fans. He just goes to games

Shorely this won't be the last move these teams make.

Devinitely not.

My guess is they're trying to trade teams Manson or Fowler for some scoring but everybody wants Montour or Lindholm because they aren't stupid.

Congrats to the captain!

FIRST STAR – MARK GIORDANO, D, CALGARY FLAMES

Giordano paced the NHL with 3-5—8 in four games to power the Western Conference-leading Flames (30-13-4, 64 points) to a perfect week and their fifth straight win overall. He collected one helper in a 4-3 triumph over the Chicago Blackhawks Jan. 7. Giordano then registered his fifth career three-assist outing (and third of the season) in a 5-3 victory against the Colorado Avalanche Jan. 9. He followed that up with one goal in a 4-3 win over the Florida Panthers Jan. 11. Giordano capped the week by playing in his 800th NHL game, celebrating with 2-1—3 (his sixth career multi-goal performance) in a 7-1 victory over the Arizona Coyotes Jan. 13. The 35-year-old Toronto native ranks second among NHL defensemen with 9-38—47 through 45 contests this season. Giordano, who was +7 for the week, also tops all players with a +36 rating in 2018-19.

I will always be greatly appreciative of Josh refusing a trade to the Leafs.

Dominoes!

As a Stars fan who witnessed those last two pathetic losses to the Flyers and Blues, I hope Nill isn’t done.

Gotta be the front runner for the Norris this season, what with Borowiecki missing time with injury and all.
