Is it rare though? I’m thinking that idea is born out of the media’s quick rush to declare a winner before the player has even thrown in the new jersey.

Has anyone else in here ever stood by Bourque’s table at a bar chanting “May day”? The place was too loud and I doubt he heard me, but in my mind I could see a single tear drop running down his cheek.

@Taro T, personally I think stud defenseman is the hardest position to replace. Right from the start, it’s a simple numbers game, being down 1 of 6 skaters vs 1 of 12. He’s out there for around 6 more minutes a game than any of the forwards. Id love to see similar stats on the other elite defenseman… if they’ve missed more than a handful of games. I’m guessing the drop off is very noticeable, maybe to a lesser extent with Makar.

One thing lost in that breakdown is how much overlap there is between those three players being out. It’s not just one guy. Ok, the Dahlin impact is obvious. We all know what they lose there.

I’m sure there’s a “Kesselring hasn’t played, so it’s a bust” article out there somewhere. Just give it some time.

No one is skating around inkman’s calves.

Update: Kesselring - DNP That part is still killing me. Any return from him at all and the talking heads would have to eat even more crow from their post-trade reactions this summer.

You have to be on something completely different at that price. Even their new streaming service that includes all the espn networks is $30 a month. Do you have the commercial free versions Disney and Hulu bundled in to get that price?

Ummm…. Wouldn’t everyone say that?

Are you using a vpn or something trying to mask or change your location?

But hey, there’s still Nashville and Calgary.

And the rags. It’s such a beautiful sight.

Just once I think it would be funny to see a player claimed off of the waivers for the purpose of release.

Thanks. The NHL description said the Sabres lost a challenge and that made no sense. But man, that one looks pretty bad. The one the other day was more interference than that.

Can us blacked out folks get an explanation of what happened? Your running dialogues here have confused the hell out of me.
