?? When did JT say his feelings were hurt or if he was remotely bothered by it? I don't think anyone is claiming this. From what everyone said Tavares brushed it off and took it like a champ and acted fully professionally. This was his exact quote : "They always made it tough on the opponent when I played here," Tavares said. "They have their feelings, and that's out of my control." Tavares added that the tribute was "nice," despite the cacophony that accompanied it.

Don't be a homer lol. You don't give a long term contract to a player turning 30 and never being able to put up 50 points in the NHL in 7+ seasons. I get that you liked Nyquist but that's just silly.

I hate Toronto even more now.

Had the honor of meeting the guy a few years ago. Class act.

Yeah Jimmy is your savior

Damn

He has been resurrected.

Shoulda kept @jimmyemeryhunter Emdog got replaced by Glendog

I've contributed.

Coo

Go on...

Good good.

Shoulda used an Axe

Lol.

Veleno needs to score 50 in juniors otherwise no.

Swedish mafia Don Zetterberg said no.

Did it actually look like that though? I know some fans kept saying that but neither Tatar nor Nyquist were centerman that were elite 2 way players and could carry the team. At best they were replacements for Franzen who was our scoring winger.

Trade He's not real

ESPN lists it as actual attendance. NHL also provided hockey sticks and equipment to kids in Clark County schools in Nevada and games are available in spanish radio and television since a lot of the population is hispanic. They're going hard to recruit the next generation of fans. It's good marketing. Whether it works is another story. So far, it's been successful. These regions that lack major sports teams is the perfect place to bring in a sport so the kids have something to root for/get into.

Mean he might be our next GM and the "anti-Yzerman as GM" crowd might have to suck a big one. Realistically though. It just means Chris Illitch doesn't have a clue about anything except for what he just said.

Vegas so far has been a success. People predicted failure but their avg attendance % has been better than all Canadian teams including Toronto. Plus I mentioned this in another post but American talent has been increasing in the last decade or so and closing the gap with Canada. More and more players in the UNTDP and eventual translation into the NHL. It's the perfect time to sell and expand to the US and also to continue recruitment.

Now that would be a pain in the ass

Or in Zagina. He needs to go out there and shoot.

Somewhere @frankgrimes is smiling. Man you can tell Chara was really pulling his punches towards the end. Those were def some purposeful weak punches just meant to bang him up a little. If this was Probert or Kocur they would have went 100% on those hits and be looking for the KO. How times have changed.
