LA should do whatever they can to offload Quick to a team that needs another goalie like yesterday.Some interesting early goalie controversies.
LA - is this even a controversy? Campbell has been better than Quick since the start of last year.
WASH - Holtby has stretches every year where he looks like poo but he's getting a bit older, Samsonov is the best backup they've had and Holtby is in a contract year. I think because he won a cup they won't screw Holtby over in that contract year and will keep giving him chances to take the net back. Samsonov playing Toronto tonight though.
I think that time has passed.LA should do whatever they can to offload Quick to a team that needs another goalie like yesterday.
send Martin Jones back to LA for Quick and have LA eat some salary? haven't checked their contracts.I think that time has passed.
It's amazing how both these guys really suck now.send Martin Jones back to LA for Quick and have LA eat some salary? haven't checked their contracts.
Jones is signed through 23-24 at 5.75 persend Martin Jones back to LA for Quick and have LA eat some salary? haven't checked their contracts.
Looks like Quick has one less year at $5.8MM so nearly identical cap hits.Jones is signed through 23-24 at 5.75 per
I think LA would ideally go with Campbell/Petersen
At least Calgary is going to get a third out of that trade hahahaAaron Rudnicki said:Looks like Quick has one less year at $5.8MM so nearly identical cap hits.
I'm just thinking LA has the cap space. Sharks could offer up a sweetener and make this similar to the James Neal/Milan Lucic swap, but maybe Jones is still better than Quick.
They don't look right. Maybe better for them in the long run if they have to battle a bit more in the regular season but at the same time, the path to the final is a lot harder for 2nd/3rd in the division than it is for the division winner, despite what happened to them last year.So is Tampa going to figure out how to stop anybody with their penalty kill, or is that just not happening? I'm glad they won, but they have to stop giving up PP goals to everybody!
Definitely agree. Having to go Toronto/Boston in rd 1 and 2 is a tough march. I still think they’ll win the division but it will come down to the final games.They don't look right.

This division goes through Buffalo nowDefinitely agree. Having to go Toronto/Boston in rd 1 and 2 is a tough march. I still think they’ll win the division but it will come down to the final games.
They also played 6/7 on the road to start the year so pretty good start all things considered I guess.
In fairness, we could have said the same thing last season about this time. They need to keep it up all the way through.This division goes through Buffalo now

Hey, I was stoked that the Lightning were kicking ###, taking names, and setting records last year. Then the playoffs happened, rendering all of that moot, so we're in a similar boat.
makes sense. Sabres and Lightning clearly the class of the league.Hey, I was stoked that the Lightning were kicking ###, taking names, and setting records last year. Then the playoffs happened, rendering all of that moot, so we're in a similar boat.
I was at the game last night. The Bruins have been killing it on the PP, but their problem is lack of secondary scoring and 5v5 success.So is Tampa going to figure out how to stop anybody with their penalty kill, or is that just not happening? I'm glad they won, but they have to stop giving up PP goals to everybody!
If you want to get technical, the Blues are, since they won the Cup last year, but that's why they play the games.makes sense. Sabres and Lightning clearly the class of the league.
In all fairness, this team is so much better than last years team from the several games I've watched this year. The pp is wickedly quick.In fairness, we could have said the same thing last season about this time. They need to keep it up all the way through.

There just In playoff mode already....So is Tampa going to figure out how to stop anybody with their penalty kill, or is that just not happening? I'm glad they won, but they have to stop giving up PP goals to everybody!
They're putting together wins, so I can't complain a whole lot, but Boston was 2 for 5 last night. That's bad for anyone, but especially so for a probable Cup contender.There just In playoff mode already....
Cooper was very irritated bout giving up the lead in his post game presser.They're putting together wins, so I can't complain a whole lot, but Boston was 2 for 5 last night. That's bad for anyone, but especially so for a probable Cup contender.
I would hope so, that's not going to make winning hockey games any easier.Cooper was very irritated bout giving up the lead in his post game presser.
Need to curb the penalties.Cooper was very irritated bout giving up the lead in his post game presser.
no that’s how it’s been scored for as long as I can remember, last two players to touchPanarin just scored on a beautiful give and go. Zibanejad got it to Panarin around the blue line, who gave it up to Kreider low, back to Panarin in front for the goal.
Both Kreider and Ziba got assists on the play. Didn't that used to get scored where Kreider would get the only assist since Panarin touched it before? Is that a recent change?
Steal of the draft.Wisconsin offense is electric and Caufield is dominant. Frozen Four imminent
they are as hard to watch as the _ _ _ _.Bill Brasky said:this Dallas start is bizarre

I have no idea who has the puck for much of the game - #'s are hard to see when they are movingTampa's alternate black jerseys are ugly. If you have to have a black jersey, their throwbacks aren't bad. Either that or a gray/silver jersey with blue lettering maybe.
I love them. Own 2 of themTampa's alternate black jerseys are ugly. If you have to have a black jersey, their throwbacks aren't bad. Either that or a gray/silver jersey with blue lettering maybe.
The Lightning are having bad 2nd periods, but this one?I have no idea who has the puck for much of the game - #'s are hard to see when they are moving
ETA: But I know who has the puck for the Avs! - Tyson Jost with a hatty!!!
Tonight no exceptionBruins/Leafs -- always a great tilt
