Quoted from Spinape:Spooner I get, but why Rattie?
Rattie I think got waivered because he didn't perform like he did with McDavid in the pre-season.

Quoted from ImNotNorm:I don't get Spooner because they traded for him. Why did they even bother make the trade?

Quoted from Spinape:This should have happened a long time ago! I would hope no other team hires that man
I still have no clue how a GM that was going to be fired was allowed to sign a rookie goalie to 4.5 AAV.
For context....this is what the Oilers roster looked like 3 years ago.
57440993132_800585_o-1.pngWhat are they saying in oil country in regards to names for a new GM? Does Mike Gillis come up? With the trade deadline approaching, I keep hearing Mike Ferlunds name..he’s having a pretty good year w the Canes, and I know a lot of teams would like to have him..

Dale hunter ...London knight feeder system as well. I would chase dale hunter.
I still think Brian Burke is a worthy choice in a heavy division but media mentioned Hunter and thought good idea.
Quoted from Spinape:I think Keith Gretzky is taking a temp position of GM, but they need someone good!
Nothing will change until the likes of Nicholson, Gretzky(s), Lowe, McTavish etc....are gone.
Enough of these glory day hanger arounders!! Clean friggin' house Darryl Katz!!!

I completely agree. The glory days are are over, and all of those guys were fantastic players but that doesn’t mean they are great at team management

We're starting to see this with the Penguins. . . . Reechi, Taglinetti kid(sp), Guerrin, Stevens, Gonchar...... it's like if you're an older Penguin from the 90s through current and need a job .... no need to apply just come on in!
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Th allsar game live media event was pretty good, anyone else watch? Can’t wait for tonight’s event
Watched the skills competition tonight, some parts good and some boring, typical
Touching pre game ceremony vs Pens tonight honouring both our Countries forces serving bravely overseas. Lots of tears including mine when the soldier surprised his wife at puck drop.

The Couv rolled over the Avs on CBC’s second game. Hope Vancouver makes the playoffs

They just might....? I guess Edler won't be trade bait after all
Edler has said many times that he luvs the Couv..but will he waive his NTC? The boys played well in Denver last nite..part of me would like to see the boys make the playoffs, but they won’t do shit..another good draft pick is what this club needs

I thought I recall hearing rumblings earlier on that they wouldn't object to using him as trade bait for a team looking for a rental and then Edler would return to Vancouver for next season.
But what's more important right now? Making the playoffs or building for the future?
I tend to agree with you @hwyhed. Trade him to a contender, get some picks and then get him back next season.
The D is pretty weak..I’m surprised w the ice time that Hutton is getting, but he’s doing alright..the same can’t be said for Pouliot and Gudbranson..their +/- is brutal. I like Biega, he’s capable of playing w the club..waiting to see them bring up Hughes!
I don't know what's worse....
a) Edmonton being 3 points out of a playoff spot
b) Edmonton being 3 points away from being in last place
The Western conference is a dumpster fire
d) and lately the
Mn Wild ones have JUST enough gas in the tank to tie games but NOT enough to win 'em
Chi 4-3 ot L
Buf 5-4 so L
Games like this are not only frustrating but could be a revelation of the teams aging roster.
A. Mathews sure got a nice contract..where does that leave their leading scorer M.Marner now? Huge money tied up w Tavares too..what u gonna do now Dubas..
*disclaimer ~ that was painful to talk about the Leafs..and Mathews mom is kinda hot..
Now Matthews has to earn his money. He was paid for potential. I hope he wins a scoring title but i dont think so. Ps i love the leafs and like Matthews but i feel there is a push hockey in the south conspiracy angle.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:I can't stand Pierre McGuire. That is all...
Now what could you
possibly find wrong with
ol' Pierre?
He is a fine on ice reporter.
What are they celebrating? Just being outside of the playoffs..or that they still have a franchise in Raleigh?! Still waiting to see what happens on the trade deadline upcoming..who’s gonna be sellers/buyers..

I really hope they make the playoffs. I'd love to see Brad Marchand (or other pest) pull a similar styled celebration during a 1st round matchup with the Hurricanes in their own barn.
Quoted from Malenko:Naw, fuck that big nosed piece of garbage
Like most hockey fans would want him on our team but hate him otherwise...

Oh he's a goof....dont get me wrong. But he would be the type to do something like that.
Does everyone forget Lindholm mocking the Carolina fans after Calgary beat them?
This shit will carry into the playoffs and blow up in Carolina's face. Hockey God's never forget

I hear ya Hue and hope that the mocking by Lindholm does not come back to haunt the flames....
Quoted from mymalibu:Like most hockey fans would want him on our team but hate him otherwise...
I don't subscribe to the mentality of "I only hate that he does that cause he doesn't do it for us" for example Zac Rinaldo when he was a Flyer.
If I had to pick I would take the schnoz over Tom Wilson lol
Quoted from mymalibu:I hear ya Hue and hope that the mocking by Lindholm does not come back to haunt the flames....
He was being booed by the fans all night everytime he touched the puck. (He played for the Canes last year)
I think him celebrating after the win was just to rub salt into the wound of the fans and show them their celebrations are ridiculous. And I don't blame him one bit!

Ya I get the old team mantra,and the celebrations ARE an embarrassment , its just the ole hockey gods can be cruel and were having a good year so......
Pierre McGuire almost ate an errant puck!!
