the NHL Thread

Joel Quenneville out as Florida head coach.

Good fucking riddance. Fuck him.

Both him and Bowman will probably have jobs in the KHL within a few years.

 

[Irishman]

Q can probably afford to just fade into Bolivia at this point. He doesn't need a job.

 

[Irishman]

NOT BUMS!

Oh hi.

 

[Irishman]

Better:

 

[silverwheels]

Oilers crushed Seattle with only one point from McJesus tonight. 7-1-0 to start the year. Going to get my hopes up again.

 

[Irishman]

The sequence that led up to Duncan "Happy Birthday" Keith's goal was insane. The passing and awareness of where everyone on the ice as they were moving in the zone was crazy. I knew they were going to score eventually.

 

[silverwheels]

Yeah that was really nice. Hyman was a great addition (didn't see that coming), and the Keith-Ceci pairing has been better than expected, although we'll see how they look in March and April. Still don't like Koskinen as a #1, though.

 

[Irishman]

I knew Hyman would be a great addition. He was just overshadowed in Toronto, so he is easy to overlook. I'm also surprised that Keith and Cici are playing this well.

I agree with you about goaltending. I can't believe they did nothing to address that. Same goes for Pittsburgh.

 

[Wolfman21]

8-0 for the Canes so far. Can't really complain. Really like the makeup of this team. Who knows what will happen, but they should be a force in the playoffs

 

[goblue96]

Can we contract the Coyotes 0-8-1 13GF 39GA

That team is really firing on all cylinders. I was shocked about their off-season goaltending moves, but it would seem that management knew what they were doing.

 

[goblue96]

WTF

 

[goblue96]

NOT BUMS. Fuck the refs!

 

[Irishman]

The refs really blew that call, but I'm glad it didn't factor in. The league should probably have a word with that crew.

 

[silverwheels]

Draisaitl is on fire these last two games.

 

[goblue96]

Apparently, the Flames are in a bidding war with VGK.

 

[Irishman]

I heard that this morning also. That's too much to give up for the Flames.

 

[Wolfman21]

9-0-0 for the Canes.

 

[Irishman]

Eichel traded to Vegas, to have disk replacement

Buffalo has traded Jack Eichel and a future third-round draft pick to Vegas in exchange for Peyton Krebs, Alex Tuch, a future first-round pick and a future second-rounder.

es.pn

Welp.

 

[silverwheels]

Rather see him in Vegas than Calgary.

es.pn

Welp.

Adding Eichel's $10 million salary brings the Golden Knights to $78.74 million committed towards next season's $81.5 million salary cap with just 11 players under contract, per CapFriendly.

Forwards Reilly Smith and Mattias Janmark, along with defenceman Brayden McNabb are all slated for unrestricted free agency next summer, while seven players on their current NHL roster are slated for restricted free agency.

Eichel will become the 11th member of the Golden Knights carrying a cap hit of $5 million or more, his $10 million salary is the team's highest, ahead of Mark Stone ($9.5M AAV), Alex Pietrangelo ($8.8M AAV) and Max Pacioretty ($7 million AAV).

 

[Irishman]

Who do they think they are, Toronto?

I think Eichel is a tremendous talent, but injured Eichel is an enormous risk. I think these teams are crazy to give up so much on a gamble.

They gave up Cody Glass to Nashville after Nashville took Nolan Patrick off Gritty's hands. Glass hasn't lit the world on fire in Nashville but at least he's healthy which is more than can be said about Patrick.

VGK's GM is going full dumb.

[kella]

let's gooilers

[silverwheels]

MCJESUS

 

[adchester]

God he's just on a different level. That's some pee-wee shit where the best player just walks the entire D lol

 

[silverwheels]

Can't stop watching that goal. He put Nemeth in a coffin.

 

[kella]

lmao that UNC safety is complaining about not getting an OPI call and he was holding the Wake guy's arm. What a putz.

 

[Wolfman21]

Don't think i'll be posting about the Canes making it to 10-0-0 tonight

 

[Irishman]

Tough to lose finally, but Florida is no joke. Nothing wrong with that.

Nice to see the Flyers eek out that win against the Caps. I'm up in the mountains for a tournament, so I only caught the box score and extended highlights.

 

[BearDownUofA]

Why are the Penguins always such ass in Chicago? The last time they held a lead in Chicago was in 2009. They're the only team ever to lose an outdoor game to the Blackhawks.

 

[Karl Hungus]

Good lord

 

[BearDownUofA]

...what.

they bounced back by beating the Lightning in Tampa. They dominated the game even though they only won 2-1 in OT.

 

[silverwheels]

Leon Draisaitl is like, good and stuff.

 

[silverwheels]

Edmonton's offense is so good, especially on the power play. FUN team to watch, even if you're not a fan. Shame the defense and goalies are going to sink them in the playoffs.

Gritty West!

 

[Irishman]

Fucking Canes. They're really good.

 

[Irishman]

This game has me in knots.

@silverwheels , i assume you are also in knots. Lol

 

[silverwheels]

Yeah Edmonton is just peppering the goal but no results. Tokarski is standing on his head this period.

 

[silverwheels]

Hyman had an open goal and shanked it.

 

[Irishman]

Nerves are shot over here.

 

[Irishman]

 

[Irishman]

How many dudes in the league can score this way? Like... 3?

 

[silverwheels]

ESPN has the OIlers #1 in this week's power rankings in spite of the loss in Winnipeg last night, LOL. They'll end up around 10-12 because of the defense and goaltending.

 

[silverwheels]

 

[Wolfman21]

Canes off to a great start to their West Coast trip. Beat Vegas 4-2 a few nights ago and ended the Ducks 8 game win streak tonight with a 2-1 win.

 

[Irishman]

Wish the Flyers could have won against the Bolts, but I'm glad that they got a point.
