Nictarion Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 Luongo is calling it a career. Seems like Bob to Florida is a forgone conclusion at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 One of the all time greats. The only thing missing in his CV is really the bloody Stanley Cup. Too bad he was not on a proper championship team for most of his career. Yes, he was there when the Canucks had their small window of opportunity, but he really did not get as many shots at the Cup as Brodeur, and neither were the Canucks as good as Roy's Avalanche teams. But with Bobby Lou out of the picture, I feel no longer obliged to wish a team from bloody Florida good fortunes in hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I honestly did not think of the Vezina. I think Ryan Miller, or Carey Price would happily trade their Vezina's for a Stanley Cup. However, how has Luongo not won that thing in 04 (?), I mean he was playing behind a horrible team, and still kept them being somewhat comeptitive in most games.

Well, most of the best goalies have both. As far as 2004, Luongo didn’t have much of a chance since Brodeur also had a really good season that year, including 11 shutouts. And of course because the Panthers didn’t make the playoffs. Think Bob was the first to finally win one on a non-playoff team in 2013. It took like 80 years.

Joe Pesci Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Well, the Pens traded Kessel to the Coyotes for Alex Galchenyuk and a D prospect. Guess it's not a bad return and frees up a little cap space, but honestly I'd rather have seen them get rid of Sullivan if it had to be one or the other. It's hard to replace a point per game player, even with his defensive liabilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted June 30, 2019 Author Share Posted June 30, 2019 Sounds like Panarin is headed to the Islanders. At least it’s not the Rags. Sucks it’s another Metro team though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GallowKnight Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Panarin to the Rangers and Bobrovsky to the Panthers. 11x7 for Panarin and 10x7 for Bobrovsky apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nictarion Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 Devils traded for Russian star Nikita Gusev. Never played a game for VGK, but he’s been the best player in the world outside of the NHL the last couple seasons. Ray Shero is really making Taylor Hall’s choice to re-sign or not easier.

Nictarion Posted October 5, 2019 Author Share Posted October 5, 2019 They blew the lead (and the game ) but what a goal. He scored a similar one against Pittsburgh last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 Malkin out indefinitely. Wonder if the Pens finally miss the playoffs this year. Think their streak is at what, 13 seasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Patrek Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 It's only Week 1. Still plenty of hockey left to play, so it's too early to tell. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Duchene is even better than I was expecting. Interested to see how consistent he will be throughout the year. Think the Preds are still maybe a top 6 winger away from being serious contenders but I like our play so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted October 14, 2019 Author Share Posted October 14, 2019 Devils have now blown two different 3 goal leads, and a 4 goal lead to remain winless. Ray Shero needs to show John Hynes the fucking door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted October 19, 2019 Author Share Posted October 19, 2019 Jack Hughes with his first NHL goal against big brother Quinn’s Canucks. He’s looking better and better every game. Pretty much everyone said Kakko was more NHL ready due to his size, but Hughes definitely looks like he belongs. With the Devils locking up Nico Hischier for the next 7 years, they’re going to be set down the middle for quite awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
