Still better than the Devils' Jersey jersey

Jersey part is dumb otherwise I like them

I liked them better when the Blackhawks wore them at the Winter Classic a few years ago.

The Bolts lost another one of their numerous superstars 4-6 weeks but still won 4-0 last night over Philly at Amalie because they still have Vasy. Every other team in the league is inferior and can suck it. 

Just wait until Vasy's name hits on Brisebois' "Price Is Right"-style LTIR spinning wheel in his office.

Silver lining is that Elliott is at least capable of winning a hockey game, so they’re not completely screwed.

@NJDevils: Due to the closure of the Holland Tunnel, Wild players did not arrive for tonight's game until 6:26 pm and the start time has been delayed until 7:33 pm ET.

you must be new round here huh bud

 

[AcerFC]

I never said this in 3 seasons of David Quinn. I think Gallant needs to be fired. Might be a great guy and a players coach, but he is not getting the best out of this team AND his answer to Mollie Walkers question about Lafreniere last night was unacceptable in my opinion.

Flyers lose 5th straight and things are getting testy

@charlieo_conn: AV: "You look at our group right now, and there's a few guys in my estimation that can give us more, give us better."

Normally I'd think this is a statement you make before scratching a key player or 2. But org depth is so thin due to injuries that I don't even know if they can.

 

[JaxBill]

can't win with Murray

@SunGarrioch: The #Sens informed Matt Murray after the game he will be waived tomorrow @FriedgeHNIC reported. Murray and his camp aren't happy with his development.

Heard from a good Flyers friend who is well informed by people that the Flyers brass is meeting tomorrow to discuss the future of the team. Possible if there's anyone better then AV to take over and so fourth. 

Personally it goes all the way up to ownership. Comcast just doesn't care as long as they make money. Ed Snider must be rolling in his grave. Fans really need to make a statement and start boycotting the team, Comcast etc. Something that gets their attention.

Andrei Vasilevskiy wins his 200th game, and gains his 2nd straight shutout as Tampa shows Seattle what championship hockey looks like with a 3-0 win.

If you decide to bring back a veteran coach after an extremely disappointing season then fire him before Christmas,  that doesn't reflect well on the GM, Chuck.

Please, please,  please don't promote Therrien.

Unless his name is Chris Therien I agree. And Yeah it doesn't look good on Chuck. However this team needs a complete overhaul starting with the owners

Kaprizov! Wild!

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Tage Thompson may actually be good.

 

[JaxBill]

wut?

@PierreVLeBrun: Hearing that Scott Mellanby had extensive talks with Habs owner Geoff Molson at first about becoming GM, then that changed to perhaps becoming president of hockey operations. But he was told yesterday he was out of the running. So he resigned today.

 

[Don't Toews Me]

Rangers-Islanders game is postponed. Supposed to play tomorrow, but Islanders had another covid case

Brendan Lemieux keeping his scumbag family's name alive by feasting on Brady Tkachuk's hand, after apparently not getting enough leftovers for Thanksgiving.

What is the worst franchise right now?

Ottawa, Buffalo, Arizona, Vancouver, or other?

I pick Canucks. Total disaster with no hope of ever getting better with their current ownership.

@TSNHockey: The Montreal Canadiens have announced the firing of GM Marc Bergevin, assistant GM Trevor Timmins and Senior VP of Public Affairs/Communications Paul Wilson.

They made the Cup Finals, granted their season hasn’t been good, but they had a lot of injuries, Carey Price is getting help for some stuff(which he’s welcome to do, take care of the mental stuff especially), but I didn’t know it was that bad.

 

[Kal El]

Back in south Florida, but the Lightning lose 4-2 on the road in Minnesota. I didn’t know this, but the Lightning haven’t beaten the Wild in Minnesota in over a decade. Weird fact, hopefully it won’t bite them in the playoffs.

reminder that PK Subban is washed.

At least PK didn't slew foot him, so that's progress.

make it 6th straight. They're missing a couple guys but who isn't?

@avappleyard: .@NHLFlyers overall xGF in each of the last 6 games:

35.78%
41.73%
41.47%
33.54%
43.54%
35.35%

Hard NOT to lose all six with numbers like that. #Flyers

 

[JaxBill]

Flyers only have 1 game in next 6 days. If you were gonna shake things up...

Because knowing every weird stat is somehow important. Or necessary.

@EricEngels: Based on what I've been told, Daniel Briere is very high up on the list of candidates being considered for GM of the Canadiens.

 

[Kal El]

Ottawa sends Matt Murray down to the AHL. 

I figure if I’m getting headline billing, I should at least make myself useful for stuff other than just Bolts news.

 

[falguy]

@EricEngels: Based on what I've been told, Daniel Briere is very high up on the list of candidates being considered for GM of the Canadiens.

Not sure Briere has as much experience as I'd like to see.  Then again the other names I'm hearing thrown out are Brodeur and Luongo.

Really suxor that they limit the position to Bilingual candidates. Sure cuts down the options. 

For some strange reason I have a feeling it will be a surprise to everyone when he/she* is announced. 

*You never know!

kind of hilarious since he never wanted to play there

 

[ItsOnlytheRiver]

easy win and oh look at that 2 free points on thursday too

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

No lead is safe tonight

 

[Zegras11]

No lead is safe tonight

even in the shootout.

Two weeks away from seeing the Kracken.

 

[Kal El]

So, that was a thing. Bolts blow a 3-0 lead, the third of which was a fluky goal off an end board that snuck past Jordan Binnington, who faked a swing at said board in retaliation. They got a point, since it was a shootout loss, but it doesn’t help that they blew the lead to do it.

 

[ItsOnlytheRiver]

Binnington in protocol and the Blues don’t have cap space for a backup goalie. EBUG watch engaged. Good thing we are playing the Lightning today. 

 

[Bill Brasky]

first of all I didn’t even know Tampa and Nashville were playing an outdoor game in February.  they just released the jerseys and they’re both awful.

Tampa has worn a blue Bolts jersey before, but what was Nashville thinking?

 

[ItsOnlytheRiver]

That Nashville jersey is an abomination. The 2nd S looks like it was slapped on at the last minute. The C for captain is way off to the side. Did they buy these in China?

 

[Bill Brasky]

this one is different iirc

 

[Bill Brasky]

the Wild are a juggernaut the likes of which this leeg has never seen before

 

[Kal El]

Bolts beat Blues 4-2 on the back of their Stadium Series jersey reveal. Is it just me, or does it feel like the Blues Cup win was like 6 years ago? I’m not insulting them, it’s just that the pandemic has stretched time out to weird areas now.

 

[Bill Brasky]

Ryan ####### Hartman, take a bow 

 

[Kal El]

this one is different iirc

It is, the font is a little better on this one, I think. Still that Nashville abomination is truly terrible. Makes the Islanders fisherman jersey look worthy of the Louvre.

 

[SoBeDad]

>>No lead is safe… if you are facing the @FlaPanthers. Florida became the ninth team in NHL history to overcome a three-goal deficit in consecutive games. <<

[ItsOnlytheRiver]

The only reason I’m laying off the ‘Bolts’ jerseys is because Nashville is so bad. The Bolts ones suck too. I hope the Blues go full time to their throwback jerseys next year so I can really get all snobby with the rest of you.
