But going back to the Florida thing, they seem to be stuck in the old idea that you know by age 22 or whatever whether a goalie is going to be good or not despite the fact that in the last decade we've seen a fuck ton of goalies emerge as legit starters in their mid to late 20s.

I really dont know where that idea came from. Johnny Bower, Exhibit A.

At least I cant blame Milbury for this one LOL

And since I want to keep crapping on him, I guess Milbury was whispering in their ear pieces, feeding them talking points? :noidea:
It was the same on the Canadian broadcast.

Everyone loves talking about a pest, even when you're seeing some of the great talents of the game at their most dominant.

Well, one thing is for sure. I think we can all agree that it's great that the NHL isn't going to force the Golden Knights to give up a player in expansion to Seattle. Losing even a single piece could be devastating to a new, developing team.

They talked about this in the cesspool last week (i know u were listening 43)

if vegas wins the cup, does the nhl get so much pushback from the other teams that they make vegas part of the expansion draft?

The spin cycle is reminiscent of 2011

Do they need to win the cup to have the other teams to push back on it? I mean really.

They don't get expansion fee $$$ from the Seattle buy-in so my guess is the owners won't give a shit since they're pocketing an extra $650k each from it at a time where they'll take any dollar they can get (that's true normally but with no gates some of them have had to park one of their yachts for the season).
