I wish I could take a nice relaxing skate like this before turning in for the night.

Oh yeah, I don't blame Torts at all and he's certainly not the coach to mess with. I get the kid doesn't want to be there, but if you don't have enough pride to still give SOME effort for yourself and the people in that locker room then just sit on the bench. I don't really expect to see him in a CBJ uniform again. Loser mentality.

In an ideal world, I'd like to see PLD traded AND Torts fired. I don't really care about Columbus at all, and what little feelings I do have towards the organization are negative dating back to soccergate and proximity to Ohio State. This whole situation is just the NHL drama I need to get me through the winter. If PLD wants to end up in a bigger market as some have speculated, I hope he ends up somewhere like Winnepeg.

Torts certainly has a shelf life everywhere he goes.

I wonder what the fans views are on the job Jarmo has done there. That organization is generally out of mind out of sight for me so I don't have much attention to it.

That’s when Army needs to work his magic. Jones is a much better version of what Erik Johnson was supposed to be, and would anchor our D for the next decade. I really like Parayko, but I’ll take Seth Jones over almost any defenseman in the league.

So one of two conclusions here.

1. NBC is not going to bid on NHL in the offseason when contract expires.

2. NBC is just going to put NHL on USA and NBC proper rather than run NBCSN.

2 makes sense given that NBCSN never had much in the way of traditional sports coverage other than NHL games. They never even had a nightly NHL highlights show, which seems like an easy and obvious thing to do if you're the sole national rights holder for a sports league.

That or they may move games to their subscription peacock service like they've done with EPL soccer

Yeah it appears that is the idea, or at least part of it. Also my assertion that they didn't have any real sports was incorrect as well, haha.


Any EPL fans on here with a review on Peacock? Isn't there some content that's fee and some that you pay for?

Some teams have been told they're out...others told they are in. Only team he mentioned was Winnipeg.

In his defense, PLD did try to steal the puck away from teammate Dean Kukan back at the end redline. Hard to keep your timing crisp with so little ice time.

That NEVER happens on my 17-inch Sansaiyungpuh tube TV. Though the picture does have an ever-changing color halo around the 10-inch image roughly in the center.
