2018 NHL Thread: Cappy is happy while the rest of us pray to the ping pong gods for Tuesday night (1 Viewer)

@GeorgeRichards: Something always happens to the #FlaPanthers in Raleigh: Canes lead 1-0 after one, Roberto Luongo left the game after sprawling out to try and make a save in the final minute.

 
JT Compher back in the lineup for the Avs tonight scores 2 shorthanded goals on the same penalty kill against Yotes

Welcome back!!

 
Tri City in the USHL added Wahlstrom to their roster so now the speculation is he might leave BC.  man, that team would really crater if he left, even more than they already have.  oh and they lost to Bentley yesterday.  

 
Caps 6-1 since Wilson returned. He’s got 4 goals and 5 assists, has stabilized PK and helped cover during ongoing concussion absences of Kuznetsov and Oshie.

The nonconference winless streak is now more than two calendar years and counting (22 games overall).

Next chance comes on New Year's Eve against Notre Dame outdoors.

 
Oh, and America's Team now has won eight in a row, is 11-1-0 overall and is first in PWR and KRACH.

Makar (6-10-16 in 12 games) is tied for top 10 in the country in both points and points/game. Adam Fox is the only player ahead of him who had played fewer games. Sharks draft pick John Leonard also sits at 5-11-16.

Hockey East looking like 1-2 teams will make it into tourney as of now Incredible weekend getting the worst of it from the ECAC and Atlantic Hockey. UMass just needs to play smart hockey and keep Makar ready for the Avs playoff run.

 
Blackhawks trade Nick Schmaltz to Arizona for Dylan Strome and Brendan Perlini.

CHI is banking on a few things in this trade with ARI: 1. Strome will be able to play 2nd line centre behind Toews. 2. Strome and DeBrincat may be able to re-create OHL chemistry in NHL. 3. Improved depth, getting two skilled forwards (Strome and Perlini) for one (Schmaltz).

CHI likes that Strome has emerged as a top faceoff centre and believes his skill/smarts will be able to compensate for lack of pop in his skating stride.

ARI obviously believes Schmaltz, coming off a 21-goal, 52-point season, gives them more speed at centre and Schmaltz will be able to make a bigger and more immediate impact in the middle than Strome, that it was worth giving up Perlini to get that perceived upgrade at C.

Getting pretty psyched for the parade...and the riots

Parade is not guaranteed but the riots are.  Don't give out pint glasses on the night of a game 7.  Even if it wasn't in Carolina, pretty sure they would be smashed in the Sabres parking lot after a loss.

well I guess since Hextall wouldn't do it he got the hook.  Hakstol hanging by a thread now.

I wonder if "we no longer share the same philosophical approach concerning the direction of the team" is code for "we're recalling Carter Hart immediately because our goalies have been ### for 20 years"

 
Also, the wrong guy has been fired in arguably every one of these.

Edmonton clearly should have been Chiarelli for the Hall/Eberle trades, Lucic signing, etc...

Philly has a solid enough roster but Hakstol likely isn't an NHL coach.

Los Angeles signed Kovalchuk and doubled down on big, old, heavy players in an era of youth and speed.

Quenneville was internal struggles but also bad Panarin/Saad trade, moving Hjalmarsson to overpay old guys, trading Teuvo to dump one year of Bickell $$$

Yeo was maybe the right guy to go in St. Louis but given the number of changes to that team in the offseason (and Jake Allen) likely needed more time, and if you want to say Allen is the problem, that's on the GM too.

Or it could be why didn't we mortgage the future fir a better stopgap NHL ready goalie since that was Hollmgren MO.

Either way this was not the 'stol I was looking for.

Kovalchuk played 6:20 last night with 10 shifts.  There was a 15-20 minute stretch where he didn't get a shift.

Has to be that he refused to fire the coaching staff. Although not sure why they all didn’t get blown out though if that was the case. Hopefully tomorrow’s game is the coach's last. 

 
Wait a minute we were told before last season even ended that the Rangers and Kovalchuk had agreed to a deal...

:confused:

 
Swell

@DarrenDreger: Chuck Fletcher and Ron Francis among the early names as potential GM’s in Philly. Both experienced men. Francis is in the process of divesting equity in Carolina.

 
Kevin Hayes is going to make a lot of money in the offseason.  Never really saw it in him in the past but he's been good this year.  I don't think the Rangers can/will afford to pay him and if I had my choice, I'd extend Kreider right now cause that guy is really really good.

You know who else is going to make a lot of money?  Mark Stone.
