NHL Thread: Vancouver Can't Keep Getting Away with This

Also, I am mildly surprised he did not take out Schneider. He was in perfect position to kreider him

 

Definitely not a fan of Marchand, but don’t see how he got five games for that, when brown got a 10k fine for his hit on Schultz. I know let it go.

 

The fault here is using one ruling from the nhl as a precedent for another.

 

Fair enough, but shouldn’t you be able too?

 

what's the price tag for Karlsson look like? not that I think there's any chance Hextall would do it, but the Flyers could probably put together a very nice package.

 

Eichel vs. McDavid a couple of days ago

points for Eichel: 4
points for McDavid: 0

 

Sens being outshot 20-5 against Boston. Still 3 minutes to go In the first period and somehow Sens are up 1-0.

 

The fact that he’s not just a rental but a guy you could have for 2 playoff runs combined with his talent is going to make that a big price to pay. I still think he ends up in Toronto at some point

 

Can’t see Toronto. He wants be somewhere south and warm. Or big, like NYC. And he wants to be on the DL.
Philly would have the assets. And a team would have 2 playoff runs with a top 3 D in the league. Could actually see Tampa being a fit too.

 

Well does he want to be on the DL or does he want a big city like NYC or Toronto?

 

I am not really sure how tampa puts together a package without going all in and mortgaging the future and I’m not sure yzerman will do that

 

If you want to go for it Tampa is the top team in the east this year. Give your team the best possible chance to win. It’s great to build a stable of assets that can fill in holes and give you options going forward, but the goal is to win the Cup. Karlsson gives them a better chance to win.
Boils down to team philosophy.

 

What would you expect from Tampa?

 

Atlantic division is such fucking trash, this playoff format is the biggest bullshit ever

 

Here we go. Caps fan complaining about the playoff structure.

 

Comment was more based on the Tampa being the top team in the East comment.

Is nice to see a few guys besides Ovechkin show up for the first time in a while tonight though he's still carrying us.

 

A nice road win against the hottest team in the East's good division for the Lightning tonight after knocking off the top team in the central on the road two nights ago.

 

we got the bad Neuvirth tonight but Vas really played great.

 

He's back to being himself, you play us a week ago and probably score 5 or 6.

NHL doing something right:

 

Can’t imagine the mental grind it takes to be sharp every game as a nhl goalie, no wonder they are all nuts

 

Pretty sure that’s just the game checks.


Really enjoyed watching the penguins tonight.

 

for the first time in a long time

 

I didn't

First two periods were flat out domination.

 

Teams will probably do a better job at limiting their exposure.

Oh shit. Expansion application apparently coming in the next couple of weeks. Also, they've registered 13 team names so far. I'd be fine with Emeralds, Kraken, Rainiers, Sockeyes, or Totems

Seattle Cougars
Seattle Eagles
Seattle Emeralds
Seattle Evergreens
Seattle Firebirds
Seattle Kraken
Seattle Rainiers
Seattle Renegades
Seattle Sea Lions
Seattle Seals
Seattle Sockeyes
Seattle Totems
Seattle Whales

 

Do they still do the stupid suspend players that don’t play in the all star game thing?

 

Yes

 

I like Emeralds, Evergreens and Rainiers. Totems/Whales are too close to the Canucks and Thunderbirds imo

 

I dig totems, rainiers, and sockeyes. Prefer totems and rainiers. I'm such a sucker for the tbirds logo; it's beautiful.

 

Kraken is an Atlantic mythical sea monster so that doesn’t make sense.

Totems have been a longstanding pro/junior/youth team name up there.

Rainiers were a longtime Seattle baseball team.

There have already been NHL teams with Cougars and Seals.

 

Like renegades.

Rest of the list not so much.

Wouldn’t mind

Sea warriors
Spirit
Sentinels
Shoreman
Skyhawks
Skylanders
Storms

 

Yeah but I want to drink rainiers and watch the rainiers.

 

Need the Whales so Vancouver can take the Orca off their uniform and add Johnny Canuck.

Orcas are technically dolphins so I don't how it'd play out.

Seattle Thunderbirds/Breakers would be far better, just have to buy out the name.

 

Thunderbirds would be good if they want to stay with what’s been around for awhile and stick with the PNW colors.

 

Rainiers as a throwback to the baseball team would work. Maybe Evergreens or something. Or Thunderbirds if they move the WHL team.

Seals and Whales have already been used.

 

Team Sockeyes

 

Put coils in the sun dome, move tbirds to Yakima

Don't think tbirds will be moving, though. They play in Kent.

 

Sockeyes is shitty, imo. Washington fish <<< Alaskan fish

soulfly

 

Anyone else at the skills competition tonight? Has been a crazy day so far

 

Seattle should go with Pilots imo

 

Any Florida all star game should just get Less Than Jake to perform imo

 

I second the motion.
