Fawk yeah, I'll be at the game tonight. I'm pumped AF !!!

I'm prepared for a Ryder, Halak and a 2nd, but next level. I wouldn't mind Dach/Newhook, Mailloux and a 1st pick going the other way for the right player.

It's a bit odd, but in the mean time, I'm happy to read that. At one point, there will be player available that several teams will want to get. And at some point, you have to be the team who gets him. Yes, it could end up feeling like we "gave up too much" for X player. But otherwise, we would not have him. So what's better ? Getting a player for exactly the right cost, not more ? Or getting the player ?

Is Granlund staying in Dallas ? Is Duchene staying ?

Barzal is a great name yeah. To a lesser extent, with all the Cs the Kraken have, it would be funny to go for Shane Wright or Beniers.

After all these years of gathering prospects and picks, wouldn't it be time to pay a high price for a C ? Do you see any team that have a great C but won't necessarily be using him to contend over the next few years ? Let's start with - Logan Mailloux - Anyone of our 2025 1st round pick (about same range as it stands) - Dach or Newhook Would that bring back a great C ? I don't mean Brock Nelson or Casey Mittlestadt. If not, then what ? - Adding another 1st pick, let's say in 2027, maybe ask for a 2027 2nd pick in return. Are we there yet ?

That being said, today at noon, the whole league will have seen this play, including refs and linesmen. They don't allow C to jump the gun on faceoffs like that and they throw them out of the faceoffs several times per game. Not sure they will let the W jump the faceoff again like that in the future.

It is not a weird setup. It's the way the C won the draw that is not efficient. When the opposing team brings the 3rd man to the red line, you have to do too, otherwise you're giving up every 50-50 faceoffs. Now, if you do that, make sure you're trying to win the faceoffs sideways, not toward your net.

Ouch. Brutal by Dobes. He owes his team. Gotts make a huuuge save and prevent a sure goal now to get back to even.

But should we be absolutely looking for a long term fit at 2C ? For all we know, Hage could grab that spot in a few years if everything goes right...

I'm guessing with his low cap hit, RNH is a lock in Edmonton, right ?

Wow ! I expected AT LEAST 3.5M$ to stay in Mtl. Evans didn’t want to go. Awesome !

We happen to be Habs fan and no one really important was/is playing in this mini tournament. But if I was a Colorado Avalanche fan, I'd be worried sick that MacKinnon or Makar is injured tonight. I doubt Bruins fans are too happy about this tournament as well since this McAvoy weird injury that lead to an infection. Imagine McDavid or Hellebuyck getting hurt because the game got too intense. Not saying I don't like the show myself, but it sure helps that Suzuki, Caufield and cie are not part of it.

Turns out I'm more excited with this 4 Nations thing than I thought I would be. Probably because of the Tkachuk bros. 😀

Unless he's pure fire at next years training camp, I'll be dissapointed if Beck ends up as our 3rd line C. I wish they'd bring in someone much better for that role.

There are 3 picks that I would have done differently for Team Canada. 1. Logan Thompson for any goalie. Despite how it ended and the dynamic with the Golden Knights, he was by far the hottest canadian goalie around the league. 2. It was no surprise that the Tkachuk bros were playing for the USA and absolutely NO ONE on Team Canada can rival with or match their level of grit. Marchand is too old, Bennett is the closest player they have for this. Even the dmen as a squad are not recognize as grit players. Tom Wilson should have been there as 13th against Sweden and Finland and active against USA. 3. In my opinion, they failed to prepare the future by not bringing Connor Bedard. He should have had the opportunity to be around Sidney Crosby and the MacKinnon, McDavid, Makar. And would probably not do worse than the 3 guys listed down below. Put him 13th against USA if he doesn't outplay any of these 3. To make room for Wilson and Bedard, I'd would have removed two of Hagel, Konecny or Jarvis. Keep Cirelli, as he's criminally underrated as a shutdown player. I have no problem with how the dmen squad was built.

I'm a bit upset right now. I bet 20$ (11:1) on Nathan MacKinnon scoring two goals... on Saturday vs USA... 🙄

Pfff. At this level... For all we know, Jake Sanderson could end up with 1g-2a tonight and get 1st star.

What. The. Fawk !?!?

My dad got some tickets via his job (he does guided tours at the Bell Centre as a retirement job) for the Sweden vs Finland game on Saturday. 106, CC (3rd row from the board), for free. Insane tickets !!!

I can see a path where Dvorak is extended for the right price. Why ? Because he's well liked by the core players of this team. As shown in the little celebration some of them make after each win

I can see why. It was cool, but dangerous AF. In the reel I saw, we ear the radio tape from Chastain. He says something like "I'ma put the pedal down and won't lift my foot until I see God or a checkered flag." Awesome quote, but gotta worry for Ross' mental state (unless the radio is fake...)

Bringing back this thread from the deads... Just watched (and learned about) the Hail Melon by Ross Chastain in 2022 Nascar series. That shit was crazy !

That was me. And it was indeed Fiala. Not that I have any way to prove it though...
