I'm good with this. Leier's very likely starting the season with the Phantoms but is probably the first one to come up when someone gets hurt

I'm loving the new Twin Peaks but I think I might be even more excited for the new season of Curb. And yes, it'd be pretty great to see PK on there.

I still haven't gotten around to watching the new Twin Peaks (mostly because while good, I've never considered the original as amazing as people seem to think it is) but I have a bunch of friends who go on about how incredible it is. I'm far more excited for Curb though and watching Larry David dance around the concept of a black hockey player would be just perfect.

Bruins team owners are scum:

quote:

Twenty-four years ago, the owner of the Boston Garden wanted a new arena, and local lawmakers wanted a stream of funding to help build and maintain the city’s recreational facilities, such as hockey rinks.

So they reached a deal: As part of winning state approval for a new $160 million facility, home to the Boston Celtics and the Boston Bruins, the owner of the Garden would host three fund-raisers a year to benefit the agency that oversees the city’s recreational facilities.

And then the fund-raising deal was forgotten.

To be honest whenever "why hasn't x been signed" comes up I just assume any sort of leverage they have has been drained and they're either going to either sign for way less than they're worth or we'll hear one of them has signed a PTO for Carolina or Vegas or something come September.

Vanek had a legitimately good player who that might apply too. Pirri and Chiasson are the kind of guys who should play in the Swiss league.

Lazar re-signed with CGY, 2 yrs, 950K/aav. Not bad as long as he keeps playing like he did after the trade, although it's a small sample size.

Rangers signed their other 1st round pick, Filip Chytil

Almost certainly will slide his contract for the 2 years they get with him since he was one of the youngest in the draft, but it'll be more a question of whether he goes back to the Czech league to play against men or goes to the CHL

I might be mistaken but maybe he still has a contract with his Czech team?

I don't mind him playing there again for a year but after that it might be worth moving to a different league with a higher talent level.

First they trade Letang for Kessel, then Murray for Letang and finally Kessel for Murray. All because they hired a guy as coach who they actually hired as coach 2 years ago, but who has now been promoted.

My hope is the change of scenery is what he needed to be semi useful, he looked pretty decent in the handful of games he played in Calgary.

hello bonjour, en francais we call the bread man l'homme de pain, because pain means bread and we're going to see a lot of pain this year and every nyrfan is looking forward to it and hey tony, can you wait until after my postgame interview to get on your phone? i thought you quit twitter...
A two-year view of Lazar misses the problem last year: he was on the worst line in the NHL with Chris Neil and Chris Kelly. The worst line in hockey.

Sens also played Matt Puempel with those two, then let him go for nothing. He's not a great player, but both of these guys are a thousand times better than Chris Neil, age 405.
