Preseason games in 2 weeks!

Can't wait for preseason and after that of course the regular season.

Huh?

You're retiring, Grandpa.

 

[esls79]

Preseason stats in two weeks? Has Tom Wilson been suspended yet?

Yzerman just got Kronwalled

Guys, I am taking a break from the NHL. I will not be on any roster at the start of the season.

Justin Williams - Mr. Game 7
Comeds - Spending time with HABSIN7

I know its disappointing, and I may change my mind. But right now at least, I do not plan on being on a roster to start the season.

 

[tducey]

Saw that on Williams. He's a player I've always liked, all the best to him during his break.

A little surprising as he did score 12 goals last season (Hey, you guys think if Troy Brouwer would have scored those 12 goals in Edmonton that they would have made the playoffs?!?). At any rate, the Pans have offered him a PTO

Dominoes starting to fall?!?

Dominoes starting to fall?!?

My guess is no. Have a feeling the Marner/Rantanen/Point/Laine group perceive themselves as a notch above Keller. And they are.

Unless a team thought they could sign one of the elite RFAs for $7M, this wont move the market. Probably solidify the players views on their worth.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

I’ll tell ya this much, that Keller contract makes me like the Nylander contract a heck of a lot more.

Lucky Pierre has been demoted and will be replaced by Brian Boucher...

 

[tducey]

Mcguire may be goofy but he knows his stuff. Sportsnet should go after him for their hockey coverage.

I disagree. He knows a lot of minuscule player details that have no bearing on the game being played that he is commenting on. When it comes to adding some analysis of what's actually happening on the ice, he is not great. If you want to know what someone did in Atom A, he's your guy. If you want to know about what just happened in the last play... Boosh is a better choice.

Tbh I've actually grown away from commentary and intermission shows. None of these guys coming or going now make a difference in the game experience. Give me a solid hockey game and I'll always ignore the commentary from "celebrities" or "ex-athletes" in hockey.

Darn that means we won’t know who the next NHL’er that comes from St Cloud State.
