Re: News and Games around the NHL

I’m kind of rooting for Edmonton for McDavid’s sake, but no GM should be rewarded with a Stanley Cup for trading a first round pick for Jake Walman. Just wouldn’t be right. Hell of a counterpoint from Jake tonight. Yeah, crazy how he's been an on ice punk & producer in this series. It defies al...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

That game, minus the scoreboard, was an absolute blast to watch. Jake walman sprayed his water bottle at a panther and got it all over the video monitor for the announcers between tne benches. I’m kind of rooting for Edmonton for McDavid’s sake, but no GM should be rewarded with a Stanley Cup for t...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

Alright boys and girls, Cup Final finally gets underway tonight. Who ya got? This feels like a tough pick. Florida has just been so under control throughout the playoffs and when pushed by Toronto they flat out embarrassed them in Game 7. I think they're better this year than last with the addition...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

The spirit of the rule is fine, imo. If you have a top player that suffers a season ended injury, you should have the ability to adjust and still compete. However, it's the teams that are blatantly exploiting the rule that cause the problem. I don't think they should be celebrated as giving them a ...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

I like this a lot My hot take is that there’s nothing wrong with the LTIR rule. There are usually 20ish games between the deadline and end of season I think. Any player that takes a 20 game break is going to come back rusty. If it’s a big time player, that team is likely to lose ground and have a w...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

To me, the problem with the salary cap that needs to get fixed is that the salary cap should include the playoffs. Teams circumvent the cap in the playoffs since the cap doesn't count in the playoffs. That could be what you all are talking about, but I wasn't sure. The Blues using LTIR for Krug was...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

Devil's advocate: Has any other league had the same state in the finals 6 yrs in a row in a salary cap era? There isn't another team sport in the US that has a hard cap like the NHL to compare this to. Baseball has no cap. Basketball has floors and you can go over the cap but pay luxury taxes. NFL ...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

Do teams in Florida and Texas have an unfair advantage in building a championship team than most of the rest of the league? I don't think so. It's not like teams can exceed the Cap and pay a luxury tax. I'd say no. But because of the taxes in those states, a player can take 10-20% or whatever "...

Re: 2025 Blues Offseason thread

No Ryan Suter in that list. Obviously they feel he is a lock to re-sign for the Blues. ;) Our needs remain the same. A high quality d-man and a second line center. I think they should take a serious run at Aaron Ekblad. I'm hopeful they can acquire those pieces via trade. An Ekblad contract could b...

Re: 2025 Blues Offseason thread

Looking at the Free Agent list in the link below, I'm hoping this season is a Trader Doug special: https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/45344495/nhl-2025-free-agency-market-top-players-contracts-teams-needs-buzz No Ryan Suter in that list.

The ship has likely sailed, but Drouin showe...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

Barring a blown 3-1 series lead, we are hurtling towards a rematch in the Final. I'd be shocked if Florida didn't close things out in short order, but I'll never assume anything about a team relying on Stuart Skinner to finish things off. Sometimes rematches are boring and tedious, but I think Panth...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

Carolina is pretty much what the Blues were during the Hitch era. Great team but couldn’t get over the hump. Had the Kings and Hawks spoil our fun plus we never had that goalie either. Pretty much the same story line for the Canes. Definitely some similarities, but also a key difference. Both the H...

Brindamour with a goalie change for game 3...taking out frederik anderson Carolina is pretty much what the Blues were during the Hitch era. Great team but couldn’t get over the hump.

Re: News and Games around the NHL

If only Shanny had built a team that played the game like him instead of just constantly running it back. I wonder if he ends up just taking the Islanders job and starting over. Also, how do the leafs draw in a new President and tell him he doesn't get to pick his GM or coach?? I think the real cri...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

Tampa assistant. https://x.com/frank_seravalli/status/1925573392213606692 What a weak coach market. Head Coaches tend to improve in their second job, but Blashill was not good in Detroit. I was shocked when I looked it up and discovered he lasted 7 years there despite only being over .500 in his fi...
