falguy 1,200 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Might as well use some of the cap space since no FA's ever want to come to Montreal anyway. And like @Bill Brasky said opens an option for the expansion draft. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think Domi costs much and will probably sign a short term prove it deal if he's not traded anyway, which there is a pretty good chance he is. regardless, they have lots of space. it's not like this was some high risk move. I thought Domi wanted out and doesn't want to play 3rd line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JaxBill 6,736 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 So Reirden goes from PIT assistant to Caps HC and back. I guess he's a good PP coach since he had to "make do" with those offensive threats. @penguins: The Penguins have named Todd Reirden and Mike Vellucci assistant coaches. Reirden, 49, will oversee the team’s defensive group and power-play unit. Vellucci, 54, will work with the team’s forwards and oversee the penalty kill.

Fair, but it’s officially offseason for me and there’s nothing else to analyze. Let me pick this one apart please. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's done worse. agree. 3rd round pick is not very valuable to part with and they got one of the best backup goalies in the league. just crazy to spent $15MM on those two roster spots, but I guess they could afford it and it's not like they locked up Allen to a long-term deal.

Dickie Dunn 2,246 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Pretty bizarre that the teams out of the playoffs are allowed to make offseason deals now, and the seven teams left are handcuffed. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

modogg 4,695 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Woah Lindblom is in. Pretty crazy, good for him beig able to get back on the ice. My guess is he gets like 8 minutes tonight, but still it is real hard to get down on yourself because you feel tired or worn down as you look across the ice at a dude who just fought cancer for the last 8 months and is back out here skating Quote Link to post Share on other sites

modogg 4,695 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) that is pretty cool. 45 seconds ago Aube-Kubel gets thrown into the goal hard enough to knock it off the posts with the puck nowhere near him and the refs shrug. Now he gets a mysterious slash cause the refs seem bored Edited September 3, 2020 by modogg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JaxBill 6,736 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 @charlieo_conn: Well, can't ask for a lot more than that in an elimination game without your best player. Opportunistic, high-effort first period. But the Isles made it clear with that last push that they're not going anywhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not like the Isles to have giveaways on their end, but Flyers did their part by capitalizing. and i'm not sure any lead matters. As long as the Flyers can hold the Isles to less than 2 goals in the last 5-8 minutes of the 3rd period they got a chance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
