tomanton posted:The outdoor game is forecast to be well above freezing, is this gonna work? Yes. This has happened before. The NHL has a literal crack team of ice making experts they send to these games to create and maintain the playing surface. They have huge chillers and stuff. From what players have said it’s not great ice when ambient is above 0c, but it’s certainly good enough to play on. You might see more scrapes and there will be some soft spots near the hash marks on whichever end is getting the most sun.

stab posted:Doesnt really matter that pick is Montreals lol …that’s how the sadness chart works. It’s not just making the playoffs or not, it’s also whether you’ll likely get a high lottery pick (that your team hasn’t already traded away). So Florida is getting very “sad” because they’re falling out of playoff position AND they’ll have nothing to show for it. Conversely very bad teams with their first round pick aren’t very high on the chart.

T-Bone posted:e: More teams not outright tanking for Bedard continues to be the most insane loving thing ever, especially when the next 3 guys all look great too. The NHL had this figured out in loving 1984! Just absolute lunacy that bad teams are trying to ice competitive teams this year I think it was Jeff Marek who made the point that it’s all well and good to say your team should tank for Bedard, but tanking requires someone else to trade your cast-off players to. The problem is that the majority of NHL teams are tight to the cap already. The whole league is incredibly constipated, and the teams with cap space are mostly the ones trying to tank already! So there’s really not much room to try and make a move to actually go ahead and tank, regardless of who you are or who you have to sell.

.Spec posted:The Kraken's contract situation is the worst part of their books IMO. Grubauer's contract is unmovable and it's too early to buy him out, Jones is playing too well to stash when Drieger comes back and I think he's slated to be back sooner rather than later. I'm very curious to see how they navigate that and if they end up with 3 goalies on the roster or if Drieger gets reps in the AHL for a while. To your question though, both Grubauer and Dreiger have a NTC and a buyout would be brutal so I'm betting Jones walks and gets overpaid by someone. The only real out is if some team not on Drieger's list of 10 teams trades for him and they give Jones that money. Who knows though, if Drieger comes back healthy I'm ok with Jones moving on cause I do not trust that dude in the least. Don’t make me add “it’s Driedger you fucks” to next month’s OP. I’ll do it. So help me hockey gods.

Simplex posted:The long and short of it with Colorado is injuries, especially among the top 6 forwards. Even without Landeskog they're the best team in the west. Missing two guys they're still a playoff team. The problem this year is they've been fielding lineups like: Reminder that they’re currently 10th in the conference. Like injuries sure but that doesn’t look super dangerous even for the defending champions.

clean ayers act posted:yeah i think in 97 it was probably more difficult to find out the rosters and they just posted what they knew. That makes sense. I'm just like "I know D-men played more back then but running four guys for 30+ minutes each across at least four games is not a winning strategy" in my head.

Koopa Kid posted:The NHL is an atavistic league, it’s obsessed with “returning” to some idealized state of the game that nobody wants and was objectively worse and less entertaining. Progress is actively opposed and resented. Toronto wants it - if we went back to the original six our chances of winning a cup go WAY up.
