Re: News and Games around the NHL

Wasn't that a big part of the Blues strategy in 2019, though, to ice the puck in tough situations if either Ryan O'Reilly or Tyler Bozak were out there to more than likely win the subsequent faceoff? I know they were both amazing at winning faceoffs. Times change and so do strategies. I remember wh...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

Agreed, that’s one of my gripes about the depressing game last night. Players (especially on the Oilers) just nonchalantly rimming the puck around the boards or firing it down the ice when there was PLENTY of room to get the puck out by moving your goddamn feet. Plus, there were soooo many turnover...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

Dallas fired Pete DeBoer today even after making the Conference Finals. With the lack of quality head coaching out there it really is a head scratcher to me. His treatment of Oettinger in game 5 and then trying to throw him under the bus is what did him in. Yeah, he made his bed with that move. Now...

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: 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. Obviously they feel he is a lock to re-sign for the Blues. ;...

Re: 2025 Blues Offseason thread

I wonder what his market value would be now. If he can be had for a mill, I'd imagine Army would consider him. But I don't know, I'm sure a lot of teams would kick the tires on him for a mill. Be interesting where he ends up. Could be a bargain, could be a bust. If his skills haven't eroded too bad...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

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 "less" to play there and still make the same, if not more than they'd be making in another market. Which in a roundabou...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

6 straight years a team in Florida will represent the East in the SCF. Hockey State, USA. 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 sa...

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...

Re: 2025 Blues Offseason thread

I'd say Schmaltz is the only 1st round pick in the last 20 years that the Blues drafted, put development time into and was a bust. He only played 42 NHL games, and while he was a late first, there were a few very solid NHLers that went in the next few picks (Skeij, Pearson among others). Going back...

Re: 2025 Blues Offseason thread

He was a 2nd rounder, not a first, but Perunovich didn't do much in the NHL after winning the Hobey Baker. A Hobey Baker winner is never a sure thing. I'd consider him a miss. After reading through the replies I'd like to clarify that my initial point was not about our success with first rounders b...

Re: 2025 Blues Offseason thread

Blues draftee Juraj Peckarcic led his Moncton, NB team in their finals series defeat of Rimouski, to win The Quebec/ Maritimes Junior Hockey League title, and into the 3-team tournament of Canada's Memorial Cup, against The Western and Ontario Junior Hockey Leagues. https://www.nhl.com/blues/news/p...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

i don't really use them, other than to communicate during site issues, so feel free to turn on notifications. i'm bummed TOR lost, but highly predictable as has been said. was really pulling for Chief. I gave up on social media completely in 2018ish for good. Don't miss it. So, as you suggested, I ...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

Yeah, sorry aboot that. Storage getting full means timeout errors as the site won’t load. Had to wait until I was back to address. Hope you all enjoyed the break. Also, be sure to follow the FB or X account as I will communicate there if the site is down or whatever. Will be interesting to see what...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

Jets could bow out tonight in 5 games. They've got a major issue on their hands with what to do with their goalie. Long term deal, multi time Vezina, ass in the playoffs. You can't trade him, but can you trust him to keep him at the same time Yep, they are stuck with him. The only way is if he asks...
