In terms of coaches especially, how much do you think some of them just don’t give a poo poo if their job is on the line versus being stubborn on sticking to what they want to do? Sullivan especially could be stubborn on “gently caress it, I coach how I coach, we won cups doing it, I have a contract” and also he has to know he would get re hired pretty quickly if the Pens ever fired him. So ego wise why bothering changing on the possibility of getting fired ?

DO YALL WANT A BOXC posted:generally speaking athletic peak for most poo poo is like 2 Positioning isn’t 100% athletic skill though, so goaltender is probably a bit unique. Plus you put a goalie out at the NHL level, he has whatever dip, it’s a lot more mental pressure to work through. Carter Hart I think is a great example. Dude was def skilled enough to play at the NHL level at age 22ish. 2nd season he has a major slump (big contribution to beyond horrific defense) and it took the whole off season for him to get past it (in general).

ThinkTank posted:I am not used to this new trend of bigger names remaining unsigned for a week or more. It used to be that all the free agents were snapped up by 5pm on July 1st but for the second straight year we're a week in and guys like Dumba, Kane and Tarasenko are still out there. Tarasenko even fired his agent which tells you just how badly this has gone for him. Counterpoint: Kadri was like , top 3 last year and it took 2 months for him to sign.

Mid-Life Crisis posted:Is the gambling stuff really not in HRR? They aren’t striking over that? Nope. The coyotes ownership (who owns a bunch of casinos) reportedly wasn’t worried about the coyotes playing in a 5,000 person arena because they would make it up with gambling profits which the players don’t make a cut of. To make it worse, they were ok with the arena hurting "profits" because it would only reduce profits that the players shared with, so literally the players took a bigger hit with the coyotes than the owners did. It’s hosed up.

DancingMachine posted:Well that sucks. Why does it work that way? Seems like it would be beneficial for everyone to have more flexibility with cap hits on contracts as long as all the money paid is counted against a cap in some year. Look up the Shea Weber contract as another example. One of Paul Holmgren’s final gifts to us.

Mike_V posted:The basis of this discussion simply reminds me that Doug Armstrong was too loving stupid to keep Vince Dunn and not try to get rid of someone like Justin Faulk, Colton Parayko, or Torey Krug Berube really disliked Dunn for some reason, I think Dunn was always gonna go at some point, and at the time Paryko had not yet fall off a cliff. Trading for Faulk and Signing Krug instead of keeping Petro is the reason is was really loving stupid.

Mike_V posted:He and Kyrou were two of the possibilities right? My gut tells me Thomas is one of them and I'll definitely be caring less than I already did about the upcoming season For players on the Blues yes. I sold a phone to Thomas in his rookie year when he was 18, so I assume like, months after the incident (I think?). He seemed very low key and respectful, not that you can ever really read people but he didn’t seem the type to do….horrible poo poo like that. It’s going to be horrible finding out whomever was involved, and it loving sucks it happened at all.

Yeah, I don’t think the term is multiple generational talents more than having All Star level at the main positions : 1 center 1 center or winger 1 defenseman (ideally 2) Goalie (yes goalie is a bit more nebulous now) All those teams have someone who qualified at the time of winning. Blues had RoR, Tarasenko, Petro and a super hot streak Binnington. Penguins had Crosby, Malkin, Letang and Fluery / Murray. Vegas was so good because you have Petro or Theodore on the ice basically the whole game, plus Eichel, Stone, etc, and a goalie going into god mode. Balance wins cups, as does random goalies deciding to randomly be the best goalie in the universe.

Eric the Mauve posted:Guentzel is so physically frail that it's always been hard to imagine him having a long career. I love the guy but the 8x10 contract the Pens will sign him to next spring/summer is likely to be a giant boat anchor. This def reminds me of the famous Mario quote where one of his teammates asks what he does to prep for the season and he says something like “I stop having fries on the side.”

Eric the Mauve posted:Letang will probably go in but it won't be immediately. He's borderline. But he was the only really good d-man on a lot of good Penguins teams. Karlsson is easily and by far the best defenseman besides Letang that the Penguins have employed since Gonchar. The only other guy even in the picture is Dumoulin. I’ve been told multiple times in the last year thst Domoulin is the Kaspari Kapanen of Penguins defenders. Also And this is important gently caress Pittsburgh

https://theathletic.com/4814360/2023/08/29/professional-womens-hockey-league-teams/?source=user_shared_article “The Professional Women’s Hockey League will have teams in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Boston, Minnesota and New York, and will begin signing players this week ahead of a 15-round draft on Sept. 18.” “This is the only season where teams will only play 24 games. In subsequent years, there will be 32 regular season games and will run between November to May, followed by playoffs, Kasten said. There will also be international breaks in the season during the IIHF women’s world championships and Olympics.” “Six players on each team will be signed to three-year contracts of no less than $80,000 per league year. In 2023-24, up to five players on each team will be signed to two-year contracts. According to the CBA, the minimum salary for players on standard player contracts in 2023-24 shall be $35,000. No more than nine players per team can be paid the minimum.” “Kasten said the NHL has helped the league identify markets and talk to NHL teams about venues. He said that they have talked about the “future, doing business together,” but mostly the NHL has provided advice and assistance for “anything that we have asked.” Free agency Sept 1st (teams can sign 3 players), draft Sept 18th. Let’s hope this go around goes better than the past. Seems hopeful.

Chad Sexington posted:I mean how does Airplaying photos to a tv work? Can you just throw up the pics you want or do you have to scroll through the whole photo roll while people watch? Easiest way is just mirror your phone , but you can set it ahead of time and can turn AirPlay off and on if you are getting to pictures you need to scroll past you don’t want others to see. Or just show an album you created with whatever family pictures. Like, it’s weird versus just showing the picture on your phone, but I guess they have the time.

Bissonette is a moron: “Bissonnette, in a follow-up social-media post, did not back down from the way he portrayed the story on the podcast. In fact, he said, he’d had “tons of players confirm it.” Contacted by The Athletic, Bissonnette disputed Babcock’s denial with a profanity.” lol at Portzline just reporting Bissonette’s response on what it was.
