At an LTV sub 50% I’ll hit up my neighborhood credit union for the balance 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is reflective of modern pro sports that winning what we normally think of as a *****HUGE***** lottery would not cover the purchase of 20% of the Habs et al.

alfredoh2009 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 just found this table while browsing, interesting stats https://www.hockey-reference.com/leagues/NHL_2023_standings.html#expanded_standings Here is a snapshot of the bottom 10 teams in the standings as of today. Habs only underperformed in December, doing well in other months. Overtime magic has earned a few points for them: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Canucks hire ex-convict Tocchet, classy and honorable new coach. Sounds about right for that franchise. https://thehockeynews.com/news/former-nhl-star-rick-tocchet-pleads-guilty-to-gambling-charges-1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 It was interesting to note that Tocchet is getting paid $750 000 more than Boudreau was, despite having a vastly less successful track record. Bruce was also paid less than his predecessor, Travis Green. Maybe he needs a new agent. I think Tocchet will probably give the team a lot more structure and defensive rigour...but things are so sour around this franchise, I find it hard to believe he'll enjoy the "new coach bounce."

I’m hoping they get some sort of bounce. Aside from the toxicity created by management ineptness, there is no way that lineup should finish below ours in the standings.

They’re significantly better than we are, on paper. 7 hours ago, tomh009 said: As much as I think the situation stinks, I still want to see that bounce and have the Canucks pull well ahead of the Habs.

Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 A crazy night in the NHL, Chicago wins in Calgary 5-1, Anaheim wins in Colorado and Arizona smacks St. Louis.

GHT120 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 In all the discussion of trades a potentially interesting (if minor) factor just came to mind ... for example, if Colorado were able to make a trade this Sunday the incoming player would have EIGHT days to re-locate, settle in, meet team-mates and get comfortable before having to play a game ... it might make a difference in allowing the player to be able to hit the ice "running" (so to speak).
