Been awhile since we've chased a goalie out of the game.

Interesting evaluation of Sprong. https://lastwordonsports.com/hockey/2024/02/05/tampa-bay-lightning-trade-deadline-red-wings-forward/

This is a Sportsnet (Canada) trade suggested by a hockey writer who is most likely probably certainly clueless. Forgetting the St Jose angle in this 3-way, would anyone object to Detroit sending Bear-grin, a 1st in this deal? Would Calgary say no? To Detroit Defenceman Noah Hanifin* Goalie Kaapo Kahkonen *Hanifin inks an eight-year extension with Detroit, San Jose retains 50 per cent of the money remaining on his expiring contract. To Calgary Forward Jonatan Berggren Forward Anthony Duclair Detroit’s 2025 top-10 protected first pick To San Jose Goalie Ville Husso Detroit’s 2024 top-10 protected first pick Vancouver’s 2026 third, previously acquired by Calgary Why the Red Wings do it Hanifin isn’t perfect, but he’s a legit, puck-moving first- or second-pair guy. He just turned 27, so an eight-year extension is justifiable for a team desperately trying to become a playoff squad right now. Husso was a free agent play that has not worked out. He’s singed to a $4.75 cap hit through next season. Kahkonen, by contrast, is a pending-UFA with a $2.75-million hit. Detroit is moving off some Husso term and money and can slot Kahkonen — an upgrade on Husso right now — into the mix with Alex Lyon and James Reimer.

You spelled griddy wrong.

I'm assuming the above deal would be only if Hanifin signs an extension?

Thank you for not calling me a highly regarded font fugger.

Canadiens trade F Monahan to Jets for a first-rounder and a conditional pick

Just don't trade these two SY.

Nice wrister from Bear-grin.

Zegras is a better scorer than Zadina, but even suckier without the puck. No thanks. We need players who muck it up not more perimeter players.

Sure, the game comes at you pretty fast. Experienced players have adapted to that speed and can still make decisions based on who is in net. Apprehension vs aggression is a defenceman pinching vs backing off because of the score, the period and/or faith in your goalie. Or the high forward risking, or not, getting caught too deep in the o-zone. Or keeping Ghost on the PP.....lol

Lyon would get my vote so far. I never played at a high level, but I always found it pretty frustrating when your line and the other lines are busting it 5v5 to not give up any goals while trying to be a +1, only to have a muckin sieve of a goalie take all the air out of your sails.

Great game for us, but without Lyon, this would have just been another loss where we appeared to play well. Lyon makes the team Not want to let him down.

Yep, anything can happen, just like Baltimore crushing the 49ers recently. For me, I just can't see Jones being able to run for over 100 yards vs SF which in turn usually puts GB in a 3rd and long more than not. I'll take Lions -9 and SF -14 Git ur predictions in...

Lions and Bucs? Should be fun with Gibbs and Montgomery playing this time around. Pretty sure they didn't play the Bucs back in October?

I can't see the Pack getting past SF. Lions will play the winner of TB / Pha

Start pushed back to 7:30 because weather. Samsonov starting for the Loafs. I hate playing against a goalie who is looking for redemption while his team is hoping for lightning to better unload him.

Canada loses 2-0 to Sweden today at the world juniors. Natedoggiestyle: pretty disappointing effort. Anton J.: didn't notice him much so maybe he didn't fug up at all ASP: smooth kid and was better defensively than I thought he would be. Glaring boo boo while walking the blue line led to a breakaway, but otherwise solid.

Anton J had no points, but a tonne of minutes. Anyone know how he looked for Sweden?

You forgot to add 200' game, smart and a 3 assist per game guy if his wingers were any good.

Crappy goaltending for both sides along with ticky tacky bounces for both teams. Happy for the win.

Compher, D-Cat and Kane getting their feet wet tonight?
