looks like Mario's kid is as big of a piece of shit as he was. I have no love for the Tkachuks either, but afaik they don't go around biting people

 

The Sutters were another class family of thugs.

I understand Super Mario is ready to sell the team.

How much did he pay in?

And how much will it sell for?

Floor is 650m.

I just heard about it from Razor's podcast. He and Heika were speculating on the buying price.

What about this?

And of course Bettman denies it too.

This is much better.

How about the Stars? 6 game winning streak, beating good teams like Edmonton, St Louis, Colorado, and Carolina. Interested to see how the rest of the season pans out for them. 

I’m curious what you guys’ take on the Avs is. Seem to be able to score easily and very quickly but that defense is very  inconsistent. They have great defensemen like Makar, Byram, Girard, and Toews but currently ranking 27th in goals allowed. Could this be more of an issue with forwards letting the puck get too deep in their zone? A month or so back, Tortorella gave Conor McDavid a bunch of shit for his lousy defense, could the same be said about MacKinnon, Rantanen, and Landeskog?

MacKinnon has only played 13 games. I think the more he plays the better their defense will get. Not because he's a defensive phenom, but because his scoring prowess causes the other team to take fewer chances to avoid getting burned. But yeah, the D isn't as great as it could be and their goaltending is pretty bad. As a squad they're ranked 30/32 teams. That's not good.

The more I hear about what will happen to the players if they test positive in China the less confidence I have that the PA will vote to go.

Bye Big Ben

Went to the Avs/Panthers game last night. Big win for Colorado! Felt like a playoff game, especially after the hit on MacDonald. Avs defense looked more sharp, with the exception of about 5 mins in the 3rd period when the Avs couldn’t sustain an attack and the Panthers scored twice. It’ll be interesting to see how their defense plays down the stretch. On paper, this team looks like a Cup winner but that defense needs to be crisp. Great game in net for Kuemper and Burakovsky with the hat trick!

Covid is gonna fuck up this season too, isn't it?

It sounds like they are going to be locked down harder than the bubble. If they do test positive it's Chinese hospitals and a minimum of 3 weeks with no pay.

That's a big ask.

I don't think they are going to China

 

I'd be surprised if the season isn't paused for at least two weeks

I went to a Kraken game last Saturday.  That franchise is fucking printing money.  Will be interesting to see how big of a player they are in free agency.

Well, it's official now.

No Olympics for the NHL. 

NEW YORK (Dec. 22, 2021) – With the National Hockey League’s regular-season schedule having been materially disrupted as a result of increasing COVID cases and a rising number of postponed games, the National Hockey League announced today that NHL Players will not participate in the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.

 

“The National Hockey League respects and admires the desire of NHL Players to represent their countries and participate in a ‘best on best’ tournament. Accordingly, we have waited as long as possible to make this decision while exploring every available option to enable our Players to participate in the 2022 Winter Olympic Games,” NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said. “Unfortunately, given the profound disruption to the NHL’s regular-season schedule caused by recent COVID-related events -- 50 games already have been postponed through Dec. 23 -- Olympic participation is no longer feasible. We certainly acknowledge and appreciate the efforts made by the International Olympic Committee, the International Ice Hockey Federation and the Beijing Organizing Committee to host NHL Players but current circumstances have made it impossible for us to proceed despite everyone’s best efforts. We look forward to Olympic participation in 2026.

 

“Our focus and goal have been and must remain to responsibly and safely complete the entirety of the NHL regular season and Stanley Cup Playoffs in a timely manner. Therefore, with stringent health protocols once again in place, we will begin utilizing available dates during the Feb. 6-22 window (originally contemplated to accommodate Olympic participation) to reschedule games that have been, or may yet be, postponed.”

He's gonna pass Jagr next. Then it's only Gordie and Gretzky.

 

 

"In that sense, Ovechkin and Gretzky are quite similar; each with an unparalleled competitive drive and understanding for what it takes to get a puck past a goalie. Five years ago, the two went to dinner at Nobu in Malibu, along with their wives, a hockey summit arranged by Sergey Kocharov, the Capitals vice president for communications, who also worked with Gretzky when both were with the Phoenix Coyotes.

During the meal, Ovechkin peppered Gretzky with questions.

“What I found really nice was that he wasn’t asking me about scoring goals — he doesn’t need to ask anyone about that,” Gretzky said. “He wanted to know about getting his team over the line to win the Stanley Cup. It was refreshing.”

NEW YORK (Dec. 24, 2021) – The National Hockey League announced today that its regular-season schedule will not resume prior to Tuesday, Dec. 28. The League had planned to resume its schedule on Dec. 27, but in order to allow the League an adequate opportunity to analyze League-wide testing results and to assess Clubs’ readiness to play, the target date for resumption of game play will be pushed back an additional day. Teams will return to practice on Dec. 26 and it is expected that the League will provide an update on its return to play plans by the end of day on Sunday.

Ovie #753 and 754 … including PPG #275 to become all time NHL PPG scorer.

Gr8!

Glad to see the Avs back yesterday. Feels like it’s been a month since they’ve played. Excited to see how this team progresses defensively as the season rolls on. 

Makar went off. Too raw! Full game highlights. This game had some pretty epic goals.

That OT goal was dirty!!
