So that means they're projecting the Flames and Leafs to be the best two teams in the league? I'm sure that's going to work out.

That seems like a good cap hit, but I dunno about the term. He's already almost 29. Which as we all know is old for a hockey player.

BRAKE FOR MOOSE posted:It's still a little weird... he's a good enough player and he's played both sides decently enough. Is Forbort actually better to have? Reilly played really well for like 20 games as a Bruin, enough to get a shiny new contract, and he's been absolute garbage ever since. The Bruins have plenty of puck movers already, and Forbort is actually more useful than him because he's better at defense and can score the same amount of points. Hopefully Reilly gets claimed by someone else. I am actually hoping Zboril gets the job vacancy over Forbort though, he's been looking better and better every year. Edit: Reilly is like a prime "the underlying numbers and advanced stats say he's really good!" kind of guy, but the actual results on the ice and the eye test does not match up at all despite being put in an extremely favorable situation.

Yeah Lindholm/Grzelcyk are set as LD1 and LD2. I could see Forbort being the 7th defenseman and Zboril taking the LD3 spot when everyone is healthy. I think I've read that they've had Zboril playing his off side a bit as well, so maybe they're both in until McAvoy is back.

Also on that Ian Cole thing, I remember buzz around him hooking up with some Hurricanes reporter or something and cheating on his wife this past season. Seems like he's a scumbag/sexual predator in general and he hasn't changed at all.

There seems to be some confusion. Cole was bragging to his Carolina teammates about cheating on his wife with the Hurricanes sideline reporter. He was bragging to St. Louis teammates about grooming a child. Presumably he did something lovely on his stop in Pittsburgh too.

clean ayers act posted:in the statement she alleges one of cole's former teammates told her cole bragged about hooking up with her to teammates Well we know Cole got married in 2015, when he was still with the Blues, and in the statement the woman talks about he's bragging about all the women who he's not actually dating. She also mentions he'd only been in the NHL for "a few years" So it seems logical to assume this all stems from his time there.

Jordan7hm posted:Anonymous tweet? I mean I think he's a shitter and probably did it based on all the stories surrounding him, but it likely is an anonymous or pseudonym account. The account was made less than a month ago, with only that tweet, and the name might as well be Jane Doe. Which makes sense! I'm sure she is facing threats and harassment and I wouldn't want to use my real name either.

DJExile posted:Hockey writers try to will so much stupid poo poo into existence but god drat I think NHL games in a college barn has the potential to be a good experience, moreso for fans than players, but maybe both. We won't really know until they start playing games in it. Obviously it's not ideal, and because it's the Coyotes there's a good chance it won't work out, but I also don't think the possibility is outlandish. I don't really understand why people get so worked up over an arena. PS: I don't mean you, specifically. It's just sentiment I see all over the place and your post is conveniently right here.

The Bruins have six Czech players on the opening night roster (Pastrnak, Krejci, Zacha, Nosek, Zboril, Lauko) out of 40 Czechs in the entire NHL. Kind of a neat tidbit. I wonder if any other teams have contingents of non-Canadian/non-American players that large. Someone out there must have a bunch of Finns or Swedes, but I don't know off the top of my head.

Kind of a sloppy first game for Boston but they got the win. They're missing some key players and learning a whole new system, so some hiccups are to be expected I suppose. Bergeron and Krejci are just as good as they always were, and the Bruins Czech line looks fantastic. Taylor Hall needs to stop taking penalties.

Cartoon Man posted:It’s two games back to back and they’ve had bad bounces not go there way. They clearly have problems, Carlson and the Power Play being the obvious, age another, but it’s not dogshit garbage tier. They've also played two of the better teams in the league. If this was mid season I think people would be disappointed but not necessarily surprised that the Caps dropped those two games.

Darude - Adam Sandstorm posted:Don't worry they tried really hard for an entire week. I mean that's pretty laughable but it's also highly likely that the person has their account set to not accept any direct messages, to avoid all the nasty stuff that people would almost certainly be spamming them with. So there really isn't anything the NHL can do other than send a dopey reply asking them to message them.

Staal plays an important role, which is getting embarrassed by world class talents like Pastrnak on a regular basis so ESPN can put it on their highlight reel and grow the popularity of the sport.

I figured Boston was gonna lose this one since it's their third game in four nights, and the second of a back-to-back. But even with all of Boston's injuries, letting a team like Ottawa drop 7 goals on you is Not Great. I guess on the plus side they also scored 5 goals. Also saw Vancouver blew it again. Pretty funny

Saw this in an Elliotte Friedman article the other day, don't know if it was already posted. It's the first time I've ever heard of it. Seems like a really good and obvious thing to do, I'm kind of surprised it wasn't a thing already. Do the other major leagues do this ?quote:One great thing that happened in hockey over the summer: the NHL Alumni finalized a deal with the league and teams where ex-players can go to current facilities for medical examinations. You don’t have to go where you played, so if you live near Los Angeles, but didn’t play for the Kings, you can still get an appointment. Medical coverage is not cheap, which means it is real change. I think there’s still one team that isn’t finalized, but we must get there because this care is critical.

Eric the Mauve posted:I assume the costs are being evenly distributed across all teams but yeah I dunno how you deal with the fact the Lightning's doctors will have 200 retired players seeking their time while the Penguins' doctors will have about 5. My guess is Calgary. Cheap owners, and I'd imagine that there's a relatively large amount of NHL alumni in western Canada for whom Calgary would be the closest team.

I'm glad he said something because it means that more Canucks fans are going to throw their $150 shirt on the ice and think they're proving a point, and the players are going to get even more pissed, and maybe they'll trade them.
