sweep the leg

Our stick supplier may have cost us the game in OT.

Ducks must be looking to trade Anderson. Otherwise I don't understand why they'd want another goalie.

Exactly. "First & a prospect" is a pretty broad range.

Serious question...is Klas Dahlbeck considered a prime LHD? Even the 1st would have been a good return for Vermette though, so I agree with your point.

If TB or Philly gave us either of those deals Goalie proposed Chevy should win executive of the year. Hextall would be fired immediately for giving up that much to have Buff watch the playoffs with the rest of the team. I'd take Drouin straight up for Buff.

I'd take both of those dmen from Nashville before Klingberg. He's good, but imo there are a lot of dmen in the league who could put up big numbers with the Stars. Noeller's fanboyism aside, I'd have sent Wheeler ahead of Toews too. Wheeler's been great this season.

I'm sure most of the guys would like to be left out. Crosby didn't get picked & I bet there's nobody happier about it than him.

What?

In one of his & Tait's podcasts, Wiecek goes on at length about how he pays no attention to what's happening at practice. He thought it was hillarious that he doesn't do his job. I have no idea which podcast it was in, but there aren't that many of them so it shouldn't be hard to find.

Love the Garfield Christmas. Love Actually is my wife's favourite Christmas movie. That, along, with Home Alone, Scrooged, & Christmas Vacation are our must watches each year. I also like Elf & Charlie Brown, but they're in the "only if we have time" category.

I definitely thought we would beat the Ducks. We were the better team in 3 of 4 games, which made it even more frustrating.

Okposo's stats are helped by playing with Tavares. I'm not sure I'd pay Okposo that much to hope he can do it without him.

He's a decent hire if he's not your OC.

Interesting timing for this argument. I just read the counter argument to it: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2015/05/27/climate-skeptics-think-you-shouldnt-worry-about-melting-polar-ice-heres-why-theyre-wrong/ "However, much of the concern with the melting of Antarctica, Greenland and glaciers around the world has nothing to do with sea ice — rather, it involves huge masses of ice sitting atop landmasses in polar regions. Melting of these ice sheets, glaciers and ice caps can contribute substantially to sea level rise —whereas sea ice melting cannot. So already, Taylor’s argument about “polar ice” seems much broader than it actually is."

Bingo. The discussion would go better if everybody fully understood the difference between consensus and unanimity.

Kopitar is a bigger version of Toews. Very good player. The question is can any team win a Cup with these crazy contracts on their team? I think the 2009 Pens are the only team to win with somebody having a cap hit of $8M or more on the roster.

LOL - every forum I posted this article on, there was always a guy that played this card, and always a leftist AGW fraud proponent. What is it with you guys? You can't handle what he is saying, so you just attack the guy instead? Shame. So is that a yes?

Ladd's a penalty killer and Scheifele isn't. Also, unless you want to put Sheifele on the wing, he's not going to get 1st line minutes. It doesn't make a lot of sense to compare the TOI of guys who play different positions.

He looks like he's fitting in nicely, tuning in his D game and you think he's a bum? Pretty sick deke move last game, its obvious he has elite skill plus he's only what, 23? Smh He's got great individual skills but doesn't seem to be able to apply them very well in a game. A guy with hands like that should be able to put up better numbers than he has. He didn't exactly light up the KHL either. His line was brutal against the Blues. They were paired up with Stuart & Chiarot most of the game and it was hard to watch. They were stuck in their own end most shifts.

and they eat salary... just bizarre pens fired the wrong guy Daley is younger, faster, and a much better puck mover. He didn't fit in with the Hawks, but he was a decent player for the Stars. Hawks get a penalty killer and some cap help.

Buff's ask is the most reasonable. I would never give Ladd $7M per.

Thats very true. But they will likely sign another high priced free agent forward! Actually Ladd would be a good signing for them Ladd & Buff would both be great fits for the Pens. Buff fills a lot of needs for them.

Pens will find some cap space soon. Perron is pending UFA and will either move on or re-sign for less. Scuderi has to be a buyout candidate. Kunitz too if they can't trade him. Dupuis is retired. That's a lot of cap space in those four guys.

That's a pretty bold move for a team that's got two high profile RFAs of their own to deal with.
