Sad to hear the Nolan news. It always sucks to see careers cut short by injuries. A lot of great players from that '17 draft in the top 10, it's too bad he'll never be one of them.
I personally hate that NJ is going to play the LTIR game, but clearly the league (owners) don't care about a hard cap. Everyone else is doing it – so here we are. I'd prefer they look for 2/3 solid role players to add instead of one big fish. They need D help, goalie depth, and a solid third liner could help some of the production lost from Timo playing through injury rn.
I'll never forgive Nathan MacKinnon for that hit that ended his career. Like yeah, he had a long history, and if it weren't MacKinnon it would have been someone, but it was a clear cheap shot and pretty scummy.
Toews comment just summarised my long held opinion of Ryan Johansen!
when i saw the headline "Bear at Capitals Morning Skate" I thought it meant an actual bear had showed up. 🤣
I have never watched PLD being a kings fan before we got him but from what I’ve seen he just seems lazy as hell when playing and doesn’t put his 100% out there every game.
You know what I really like? Miroshnichenko cherries.
Mackinnon's hit on Patrick that ended his career was pretty dirty. No clue how he got off scot free.
sadly he was never really healthy even b4 juniors….. he could have had a great career but his body said no
Yesterday 6-4-1 ,
overall 10-5-1
Today's picks DET, WSH, SEA
Good luck everyone and as always thanks Shannon
Have you ever done a comedy sketch based on the non answers in player interviews?
Buffalo fan here. I could use a pick me up.
“Yeah, I know we got a no mercy magnet against the worst team in the league, but we just need to get back to our game…yeah I understand that but as long as we get pucks in deep we should be able to win the series back…yeah I know we drew too many penalties but as long as we play that hockey we should … yeah… playing Arkham Knight does make you feel like Batman.”
It’s so depressing being a Sens fan. Again. We are absolute dogger.
If Miro ends up being a hidden gem for the caps, they will become soo dangerous. Could even end up getting Ovi going again. Max pacciorrety will be back soon too 👀
DJ Smith left this team in a very mentally weak spot Martin has a lot of work to do to reverse the damage left by DJ he was here far too long

Last: 4-5-2. Overall: 224-178-46. Picks: WPG, NYI, LAK.
Been saying it, Ottawa won’t go anywhere with Brady as captain. He’s extremely immature and irritating from my perspective.
I think the issue with Dubois is that they got him in case Koptar slowed down, and Kopitar… just hasn't slowed down at all. Bit weird to be paying $8M a year to a guy who's essentially an insurance policy, but, well, such is life on a good team.
Jets, Islanders, Kings. 270-169-55 on the season.
When they add it all up in a decade from now, Dubois could have the distinction as one of the biggest head cases to ever play in this league. What's that? He might be unhappy…again? Must be all those teams he plays for that just don't understand him. Man, what a beauty.
I did NOT read that "Bear at Capitals Morning Skate" part of the title the way I was supposed to, and now I'm slightly disappointed 🐻
If NJ doesn't get a goaltender they aren't going anywhere
per Elliotte Friedman "Reached out to Patrick today, he politely declined to talk…but did text to say he has not officially retired. It's clear he prefers to stay under the radar"
Can you please not wear flyers gear, don’t need you to jinx our team, plus you said if you ware a jersey for a team it’s not a good thing… so as a flyers fan get off our wagon
Dubois is joke. Blakes gave out that $8.5m X 7 contract is clown world Kovalchuk style. He does NOT have a NMC which I cannot believe. He is hiding behind Kopy & Danault, IF one of them were not there, he would then finally be torched by the media and by fans. A winning record also hides the fact of how bad he has been. Sure TMAC could move him up with better players like he had on WPG, but he is invisible. Awesome team, but $5m or less is his worth. That trade and signing going to look bad sooner than later.
I think they said Hischier played his 400th game the other day. Nolan missed out on so much. I feel bad for Nolan that it never turned out ok. As a Flyers fan, I'm still frustrated they took him over Makar.
