Eklund says the Leafs wil trade Nylander here for Skinner plus prospects. It has been Skinner's dream to play in Toronto and would take less to sign there. https://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/Eklund/Leafs-Could-End-Up-w-Prospects--Skinner-for-Nylander-Faulk-and-NYI-e3/1/96139

"Kucherov played for the Dyatkovo Dynamo in the Bolshevik Mini Mites league in 1998. Great hands then and even better now". Or other random facts Pierre seems to have about players.

At least Dahlin got a point. That's something. Yay.

I know it's not. I was just being stupid. I still don't understand Housley's affinity for him. If they lose this game, then take out Elie.

So it's all Larsson's fault right?

Methinks the thread title could use a little work

I hate the offside challenge, but that looked offside to me.

That made me giggle. I think you mean Trotz and Boucher.

Yeichel and I couldn't be happier.

I wish they would make videos explaining why certain things are not suspension worthy. In the RoR incident, the video would say, "As you can see, O'Reilly's balls clearly impede the path of Crosby's stick. No suspension necessary and Mr. O'Reilly will have an in-person hearing in the near future."

For those open to tanking the rest of the year, who is your tank commander?

So I turned it off after the 1st to get some stuff done. Did I miss anything?

Obviously the players are using my sarcastic GDT as motivation. You're welcome.

Back to back on the road against a Penguins team who didn't play last night? We got this. Lehner has been great on the second night of a back to back so DD should continue that experiment. With all signs pointing to an unmitigated disaster, I hope to be pleasantly surprised.

How is their powerplay ranked so high and PK in such dire straits? If your team is so good at the PP, wouldn't that give the PK a boost at all? I don't enough about the ins and outs of hockey so my point may be way off.

Sadly, I don't think "the run" is ever going to happen. They are who they are and no sense in expecting more at this point. I'm just frustrated and don't feel like getting my hopes up anymore. And yes, a win against Ottawa and I'll probably say to myself again, "There's still time baby! We got this!" Such is life.

If this game were in Buffalo, does "Let Me Clear My Throat" still play down 5-0?

Oh man I was thinking the same thing. They were thinking, "He's just waiting for a line change so I'll just relax and...OH GOD, Code Brown, Code Brown!"

The most entertaining part of this game was when Rayzor said, "He got a piece of Hyman." The hockey stuff just makes me sad.

Does everybody still think this team can "go on a run" and make things interesting, or are they a team that will hover around .500?

At this point of the season, we have 4 goals from defenseman. That has to be on pace to break a record.

Kudos for succintness

I find it interesting that news of Trump's victory comes on page 666 of this thread.

Was "Pu had a warm feeling" supposed to be funny? Either way, I chuckled a bit.

There are no offers to mull over. He'll be getting the same entry level deal wherever he signs.
