Ongoing NHL Thread Part IV - A New Hope

The "All shit contract" team.

The "All shit contract" team.

Zaitsev's contract is worse than Stone's for the same position - $250k more annually with 5 more seasons after this one.

He didn't seem to be taking contract length into consideration. Case in point: No Jack Johnson.

I still don't think anyone is getting offer sheeted but if anyone does, my money is it's the Sabres doing the offer sheeting.

I wouldn't be shocked since they can sacrifice the picks, but I really don't think they will. I doubt they go after cream-of-the-crop guys - though they might have some chance of success with guys like Marner or Point based on cap situations.

Got Shea Weber's autograph earlier

The "All shit contract" team.

I think Karl Alzner should be there. 4,625,000 per year and is in Laval.

I was going to mention Jack Johnson is so bad he is a healthy scratch on the “all sh*t” team.

I like how Brandon Dubinsky couldn't even crack the top 9 on team shit.

Capitals roster for 2020 is looking good!

Note to Ducks - start all rookie goalies against Vancouver.

Canucks are excellent at making ok goalies look excellent.
last couple of months alone
Ducks - 35 save shut-out for a guy getting his first career start at 26 years old, on a team that has been letting in about 5 goals a game lately
Hawks - 40 saves for rookie
Flyers - Hart's a good goalie, but .976 save% is overdoing it
Devils - Blackwood (who?) 25 save shutout
Canes - another first ever NHL start (and only game thus far). 923% for the win


several years ago i recall Canucks getting swept by a shitty Blues team, they plays back-up Curtis Sanford every game. the guy stood on his head (2 or 3 goals total over the 4 game series)
Canucks picked him up two years later, and in turns out he was just Curtis Sanford after all

 

[tducey]

I think Vancouver still sneaks into the playoffs but that's more to do with the crappy West than anything the Canucks are doing.

Yep can see the resemblance.

Don't all soulless gingers look alike?

further to my point

So you don’t think they will hve the necessary points, but through some Michael J Fox Secret of My Success chicanery they will just show up against an opponent and the league will be like “good enough.”

Hopefully nobody makes them f*#% their aunt to pull it off.


/What’s with ince$t as a recurring trope in Michael J Fox movies?

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Fucking gutless.

They were Secretly written by George R. R. Martin

Yeah, he should definitely get a turn on the Wheel of Justice for that.

Kypreos said it was OK

 

[sabresfaninthesouth]

Kypreos said it was OK

Of course he did. Even if you buy that it was unintentional (I don't) and he was legitimately trying to make a clean hit (he wasn't), it's at best negligent and still worthy of a couple nights off.
