Neech Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 1 hour ago, The Chicoutimi Cucumber said: Agree that they are an embarrassment. Part of me respects Bettman’s sheer pig-headed determination to make Arizona work, but they should have thrown in the towel years ago. Don’t agree that they belong in Quebec. I want the Nordiques to stay good and dead for all eternity, as befits those scumbags. Move the ‘Yotes to Kansas City or somewhere like that. I think that hatred that you have for the Nordiques and Sens is good as a sports fan and makes cheering for the Habs more fun. I'd rather have teams with passionate fanbases than another American market where hockey will never be higher than 4th or 5th on the totem pole.

The owner of the Rockets (Tilman Fertitta) has made it clear he wants an NHL team in Houston. (Paul Allen, who died in 2018, was Portland's owner.)

I know very well that Fertitta/Houston have serious interest ... and apologies to the Allen family, I forgot he passed away ... the reference was to the fact that despite his express lack of interest Portland/Allen was thrown out as an expansion/transfer site almost every time the subject came up for many, many years.

DON Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Harris seems to be pretty solid on his skates for smaller smaller d-man, compared to powder puff-soft Wideman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I really want to believe in Harris. I love fast, puck-moving defenders, and this franchise desperately needs ‘em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I've been impressed with his poise on the puck. He needs a little work without the puck, but of course he's a rookie and that can come. The opening signs with him are strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Hoping Guhle is as smart with puck, defending well seems a given, i just dont know what his puck skills at NHL speed will be like. Hope he has long run to memorial cup win, is a standout and we get to see him play a few games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 21-year-old rearguard will play his 10th game of the season tonight. He credits St-Louis for easing the move along and helping to steadily build his confidence. "When I first joined the team, he was like, 'Hey, you're going to make mistakes and you're going to want three or four plays back at the end of the game.' That really meant a lot to me because it kind of lifts a little weight off your shoulders and you can just go out there and try and play your game," explained Harris. "I'm fortunate to have a coach like Marty who allows players to make mistakes and be put back on the ice. I'm definitely grateful for that."

Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 On another note, I can't believe Nashville blew a 4-0 lead to Arizona and now they have to play Colorado. Those Yotes are amazing, 2 massive comebacks in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Dallas must have won a lot of close games this year, a record of 46-30-6 and a goal differential of -8 ?? The only team in the playoffs with a negative goal differential. I guess they are efficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My general take on minor league deals is that there's no such thing as a bad one. But I'm not sure there's a great fit for him on the left side which will already feature Norlinder, Xhekaj, and Fairbrother and could also feature any of Harris, Guhle, and Schueneman. If he was open to playing on the right and willing to return to the organization that waived him (even with a new management team, that might sting), then sure, why not? But I wouldn't count on that happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM in waiting, or at least a threat hanging over Dorion's head entering contract negotiations ... two months later Dorion got his extension ... with Melnyk now gone I now suspect that Dorion eliminated the perceived competition, and/or got rid of someone who worked behind the scenes to undermine Dorion ...
