Hoss Posted September 9, 2016 Author Report Posted September 9, 2016 PTO with the Panthers. So maybe we'll hear of Carlo getting a PTO soon, too.
Brawndo Posted September 9, 2016 Report Posted September 9, 2016 Kris Versteeg signs a PTO with the Oilers.
Thorner Posted September 9, 2016 Report Posted September 9, 2016 Kris Versteeg signs a PTO with the Oilers. The arms race has begun.
Marvelo Posted September 12, 2016 Report Posted September 12, 2016 I wonder if there's any way of prying Johnny Gaudreau loose from Calgary. He's looking for $8Mill and he's still unsigned by the Flames. Gaudreau for Risto anyone? http://www.thehockeynews.com/news/article/gaudreau-slick-hands-dekes-sbisa-before-scoring-backhand

The analysts heads would not be able to comprehend it. Marketers would have to find a greater superlative than what they used for the Subban trade day. It would be chaos. I can only imagine what it would be like on here.

dudacek Posted September 12, 2016 Report Posted September 12, 2016 Am I the only one who thinks Bishop is clumsy and overrated? Whoever pays him big bucks and/or a lot to acquire him will regret it.
pi2000 Posted September 12, 2016 Report Posted September 12, 2016 Am I the only one who thinks Bishop is clumsy and overrated? Whoever pays him big bucks and/or a lot to acquire him will regret it. Last season... GAA - 1st - 2.06 SV% - 2nd - .926 Wins - 4th - 35 Shutouts - 3rd - 6 Career 2.29 GAA and .920 SV% in 230 games For comparision, Hasek has a career 2.20 GAA and .922 SV%. I don't see any evidence to suggest that Bishop is overrated, although it will be interesting to see how his numbers change if/when the NHL enforces new goalie equipment standards.
Brawndo Posted September 13, 2016 Report Posted September 13, 2016 A little something with a month to go
That Aud Smell Posted September 13, 2016 Report Posted September 13, 2016 ^ that's well done. is that the guy who does the narration for the Hard Knocks type films they did for the Winter Classic teams?
dEnnis the Menace Posted September 13, 2016 Report Posted September 13, 2016 video is well done. Can't wait!
Thorner Posted September 14, 2016 Report Posted September 14, 2016 Hate it, no Sabres ^ Haha, +1. Still, good vid.
qwksndmonster Posted September 14, 2016 Report Posted September 14, 2016 Eh. I didn't really care for that video. Kinda boring. It doesn't take much to get me hype for hockey and that video barely moved the needle.

It doesn't take much to get me hype for hockey and that video barely moved the needle. I liked it a lot. It certainly was not intended to carry a hype style. The tone was much more authentic-heart-string-tug than it was a promo for Don Cherry's ROCK 'EM SOCK 'EM 73.
Randall Flagg Posted September 15, 2016 Report Posted September 15, 2016 Interesting Alex Ovechkin facts: Alex has 14 fewer power play goals than Jaromir Jagr, in roughly 800 fewer games played. Alex also only trails Mario Lemieux, in all-time power-play-goals-per-game.

Randall Flagg Posted September 15, 2016 Report Posted September 15, 2016 Ovechkin will always play second fiddle to these guys unless he wins a Cup or two. Cups have no bearing on how I view an individual player. I'm focused on enjoying the fact that I can watch a guy who is one of the best ever at doing what he does. If I need my superstars to be Lemieux/Gretzky/etc to be happy, I wouldn't watch the game.
Hoss Posted September 15, 2016 Author Report Posted September 15, 2016 Ovechkin will always play second fiddle to these guys unless he wins a Cup or two. He'll always be behind Mario regardless, but some longevity will see him pass Jagr. Jagr would have zero cups if he didn't get the chance to play second fiddle to Mario.
