Even if they win this auction and start on a new arena, it probably won't be ready until they have spent five years in in 5,000 seat arena.  I can't believe the league is willing to let that happen.

After Schneider takes over the second unit position and Trouba is traded with significant retention, what are folks on the board going to be saying after the first time Trouba lays out one of our guys?

Fuck Subban.  Why would anyone listen to this clown anyway?

Former Norris winner retires at age 32, without even any injury issues?  

Get out of your bathrobe before you start pontificating, asshole.

Nice loophole: cyborgs don't count against the cap!

Not everything has to be about politics.

It doesn't, that's why Ovie didn't have to lead his instagram account with a photo of him sucking up to Putin.

You can tell by his face and hair that this picture of Ovi was definitely taken like 3 days ago

Okay, check out the photo he uses on his instagram account, like, today...

Ovi is the man.

The man?  Or just Putin's bitch?

NHL needs a 15 strikes you're out rule.

Echoing observations of others:

Kakko looked really good.

No need for Gus at $3m next year with Jones at less than $1.

Miller clearly better w/o Trouba

Cats pressure the puck and create lots of turnovers.  Occasionally get burned doing so.  Tough playoff opponent.

Once again, it is not next year where the team falls apart due to cap, it is the year after.

Start the Gregorian chant: Igor Igor.

I hope Barc stays at one.  It would mean that he will almost certainly score an OT or other huge goal in the playoffs.  That's just how these things work.

Trivia: Tony Montana (Florida enforcer who held team record for penalty minutes and exhibited some signs of CTE).

Wouldn't mind seeing the Caps miss the playoffs by one point and having it be on Tom Wilson.

I wasn't really focused on Panarin as the number of ENs being scored overall.  You can't really compare overall offensive stats to those more than about 6-8 years old because of the number of ENs

I'd like to see a stat on the number of empty net goals over the years.  There are so many now that it is actually distorting statistics.  They've had Panara out there every time there is an empty net.

Elmont loss leaves them five out of last playoff spot with one game at hand.  I would hate to see Lou's last great project be a FLAMING FAILURE.

From a no sound persective watching in a bar, it looked like as good of a game as we have played all year.

That’s brutal.

 

My last year with season tickets was 2016-17. We made the playoffs. I got my renewal for the following season at the same time I got my playoff invoice. I called to notify I wouldn’t be renewing the following season. They then told me that because of that, I wasn’t getting my playoff tickets. I was enraged. Basically because I wouldn’t commit to the following season, I wasn’t allowed to see that current season all the way through?

 

These teams don’t give a rats fuck about their fans anymore. It really is sad.

I know people who are ex-Rangers fans because of this.  It was a remarkable turn around from a formerly fan friendly organization.  Back when they remodeled the Garden in 1989, they went to great pains to keep whole sections of season holders seated in new sections with all of the people from their old section in order to maintain friendships.  Can't imagine that today.

Something to ponder for those egging on Rempe...

He lives to be bruised another day.

That was Theismannesque.  Best case scenario is bad sprain, 3-4 weeks.  Worst is severed ACL, surgery, not even back for start of next year.

I just don't understand why there isn't a rule against scheduling games in different cities with start times less than 24 hours apart.  Players' Association?

Marked man.  After this, he won't be able to so much as bump someone without it being called a minor.

Next game against Devils = Charlestown Chiefs versus Syracuse Bulldogs grudge match.

A real shame.  On Guftason's goal, you couldn't have moved Rempe from in front of the goal with a house moving contractor.
