Around Hockey XXV (All Non-Jackets Hockey Talk Here)

[Iron Balls McGinty]

Not even in the crease… yikes

I was too tired to stay up for the rest of the game but at least Dallas was still able to finish it.

 

[Cowumbus]

Duchene with a great interview IMO

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

We got a hint of that in his short time here and, while I know he made his intentions clear, it still disappoints a little that we couldn’t keep him.

I think he really needed that buyout in Nashville as a slap in the face. So many times in his career he has given not even close to 100%, not even 50%.

The only Matt Duchene I want from 2019 on is the one from this year.

I know he’s in division but I am intrigued on what this kid is going to turn into

My guess is that he'd help the Flyers PP immediately, maybe by a lot. 5v5 is going to be the struggle.

Members of the best Jackets team ever (defined by playoff success) who are still alive in the NHL playoffs include Panarin, Bobrovsky, Wennberg, and Duchene. Other former Jackets still in the playoffs include Gagner, Cole, and Roslovic. And let’s not forget Jacket’s legend Jonathon Quick. Stenlund played four games in 18-19 so technically he was also a member of the best Jackets team ever.

Montreal in shambles

 

[Derby]

Watching ESPN game with Bucci and Weekes on the call and was struck by how gawd-awful Weekes was on the color commentary. Threw in a non-ironic “takes a village” comment. Was largely silent and mostly never insightful or interesting. I think Jody on the other hand has been really really good on the national broadcasts.

IMO the ESPN broadcasts are outclassed by TNT and the crews they have. Both the pre-game shows and the announce teams.

McDonagh back to Tampa.

McDonagh back to Tampa.

Still salty we couldn’t convince him to come 2 years ago. I think that would have been an underrated big time move for the room and on the ice

 

[Aaaarrgghh]

So Stamkos is not going back to Tampa then? It would have to be a VERY team-friendly deal for him to do so. Or they would have to trade someone like Cirelli or Jeannot, I guess.

EDIT: Damn, this also basically removes a suitor for Provorov at the TDL.
