    Chelios Released from Duties

    No, it's not a huge blow, but these rough times make some of us angry easily I guess. Holland HAS to start turning things around somewhere heading into this season. Tired of his laid back approach to everything. Chelly says he wants to work elsewhere...was that just throwing something out there, or was he willing to stay? Was there even any discussion, or did Holland just say "Make your choice, I don't have time for this." kinda thing. My bets on the latter.

    Griffins Calder Cup Playoffs Thread

    Coreau has had some great games, and some pretty horrid ones. He plays small for a 6'6 goalie. I thought the Wings may have had another Bishop/Dubnyk in him. But after his stint with the Wings where he started quite a few games for a callup backup, he should be dominating at the AHL level with that experience under his belt. Oh well, least there's Matej next season.

    Chelios Released from Duties

    Why not? May as well burn it all down, huh? Trade that 9th pick for early Shattenkirk rights too while your at it, Kenny. Having one of the NHL's top surviving HOF defensemen around to help your current black hole of a defence? Nah, cut him loose. He's Dallas bound. Nill has already made the call I'm sure.

    Shattenkirk

    Anyone think Holland will sign or try hard to sign him July 1 ( if he doesn't sign with Vegas before that)? Seems like a very Kenny move to me. He needs a top pairing Dman, and all he needs to do is throw money at him. He'll want $7-8 million per, and long term I'm sure. Would take up all the free cap and then some, but he could move Nyquist or Tatar for high 2018 picks and bonus if Vegas takes a nice contract off his hands. Can be done.
  6. https://www.nhl.com/news/dallas-signs-goalie-ben-bishop-to-new-deal/c-289408136 $4.92 million per season. I thought he'd be asking way more than that. Nill got a steal here.
  7. LETS GO SENS!! I don't think you have a shot in hell, but I can hope. Lol
  8. Was browsing Capfriendly team recalls and came across Malcolm Subban. His stats are great everywhere he's ever played, mostly GAA's under 2.50 where he spent any long term time as the starter. Except the NHL. The two games where he was given a chance at taking the backup role with Rask injured, he was rocked for 5-6 goals and promptly benched or sent back to Providence. I remember watching him play for Belleville in the OHL and thinking he'd be a big star NHL player like his brother. Hasn't happened.

    2017 ECF: OTTAWA SENATORS VS. PITTSBURGH PENGUINS

    I meant the third period. Ottawa had many chances to put the game away after getting the 1-1 goal, but couldn't finish them. Liked how quickly they got the 2-2 goal right back after that half assed call on Phaneuf. They sat back in OT though, and it cost them. Far as I'm concerned though, they did a hell of a job stretching the series to it's limit, and in doing so, putting extra wear on the Pens while Nashville has already rested for a bit. Hating the Pens already and seeing how their fans react when things don't go their way, witnessing how smug Crosby, Malkin, and Murray are doesn't help things for me either I guess. Murray's comments after the game on the PA system, come on. You beat the Ottawa Senators, and it took you pretty much as long as is possible for a series to go other than a couple more overtimes. The series was very close, hot goalie or not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    He may as well burn it down, but he can't because no one will touch the contracts he's handed out to undeserving players. He's stuck with them for awhile, some a long while, and has to wait them out. I'll be happy if he goes through UFA and into the season without touching anything he can't afford, or handing out any other extensions than AA and Tatar. First step right there.

    Yeah, even if the Ducks managed to somehow squeak out the last two wins in the West with Bernier, he'd get lit up against the Pens. Nashville is the best, and now only, option. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Well, Illitch has put the future in Holland's hands, even after very questionable moves and putting the team in cap hell. Should have him on a short leash, but he doesn't seem like he'll be a very hands on owner after taking control of the team. Too worried about selling s***ty pizza I guess.

    This game could have been 4-1 Sens before the third period. Did you watch?

    The game ends on a s*** goal like that. Hahahaha Murray "I thought we deserved this one, we were the better team all series long". No, you weren't. You didn't even play as good as the goalie across the ice from you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Stay classy Pittsburgh. Hot dog hound didn't score. Clearly over the net. Throwing s*** on the ice DURING play? New low there.

    The Senators have taken the Penguins to OT in Game 7 of the ECF. That in itself is an achievement. Even if the Pens win, They'll be hella tired for the Finals, Nashville nicely rested. I sure hope they put one more behind Murray though. Watch the faces on those fans walking out. Priceless.
