Drew a Penalty

AHL TV. I haven’t been to one live since the lockout.

Pack lost 4-3 in OT. Matt Robertson made an absolutely brutal play to let an opposing player walk in on goal. He's gonna be in another organization by the end of the year.

Ah well...fuck him anyway.

Pinto didn't sign a deal before the Dec 1 deadline so he's ineligible for play this season anyway.

Brooks might be wrong from time to time, but what separates him from average Joes is that he actually has connections. He has access to the locker room, the organization, to a number of industry professionals that you don't have access to if you're not already within that sphere. I can rattle off a number of things Brooks has been wrong on, but I could also list a lot of things he's been bang on about. The nature of his relationship with the organization as an accredited member of the media is the difference between him and any guy on Twitter who ends up writing for the Hockey Writers. Writing for the Hockey Writers doesn't mean you don't know anything, unless you're @Phil, but it does mean you're more than likely operating with the same information that the greater public is. No one within the industry has connected Laine to the Rangers of late, the Rangers do not have a cap situation that permits them to easily trade for Laine, and Barclay Goodrow has a 15-team No Trade Clause which would almost certainly see him waiving any trade to Columbus. Columbus would ask for far more than Goodrow. There's nothing wrong with thinking that Laine is someone who the Rangers should pursue, however, it's not a realistic scenario that is supported by any information out there.

There are posters on this site who’ve written for the Hockey Writers. It’s a blog not an organization. It’s not at all akin to reading from Brooks or Mercogliano who are actually plugged in and have team sources. Anyone on the Hockey Writers has as much team access as any of us.

Yep. Goodrow and some picks for Laine is something I'd expect from a Facebook post.

He's actually there to teach them beard grooming.

I edited after you quoted but yes.

He does. He just hasn’t exceeded 30 days on the roster and 10 NHL GP this season. Once he hits those he’ll need waivers to go back down.

Cuylle didn't play the final 10 and Pitlick the final 7. I'm assuming it's one of them.

Edstrom is a LW and Blidh is a RW

Edstrom is sick. He was out for Hartford the last two nights.

Hartford wins 5-4 in OT with two goals from Othmann. He had 8 shots tonight. Henriksson had a really nice tip and Berard had a snipe after his first shot attempt was blocked. Pack have won 6 in a row.

He's also just at the bottom of a depth chart of guys who are on the small side and play a similar style/role. Sykora, Berard, and Henriksson are all better, and Korczak might be getting there too. Sykora is the biggest of the group at 5'11" 192 lbs while Trivigno is the smallest at 5'7" 167 lbs.

He has some skill, but it hasn't amounted to anything. Other young players are playing bigger roles.

He's relentless and physical but I haven't seen rat out of Sykora yet. He's more annoying because he's always in the play and less because he's purposefully trying to agitate. Maybe that'll come as he gets more comfortable. He looks more like a defensive specialist who could also be a Lady Byng contender — he doesn't take penalties.

The whole team is scrappy. Especially the little guys. Trivigno runs his mouth a lot.

Pack won 7-3 tonight. Big games from the kids. Sykora with 2G + 2A, Korczak with 1G 2A, Othmann with 1G 1A. Since I made this post he's played 4 games and has 4 goals, 2 assists, and 19 shots in that span. He scored a really nice goal on the PP tonight where he stepped into the slot and roofed it. You can tell that he's starting to get a feel for his shot. Sykora is heating up too. He has 9 points in his last 10 games. He's the youngest player in the AHL so it's awesome to see him thriving. He was playing top PK tonight and 2nd PP unit. He always lives up to his billing as an absolute pain in the ass. He's gonna be such a fan favorite with how he's been getting the Hartford crowd going. I also wonder if this is a breakout game for Korczak. He looks pretty tenacious and has a good stick. It would be nice to have a center prospect show some talent. I'm not expecting too much from him, but it'd be nice after he struggled to stick last year and went back to junior.

And Miller.

@Morphinity 2.0

Gaborik and Zuccarello didn't overlap that year, Kreider was a rookie in the playoffs, and Miller was drafted in 2011 and not a regular until 2015. Torts lost the room, but that team suffered from a complete lack of depth, leading to the Gaborik trade.

I don't know if anyone here is going to be at the game, but your best bet would be any of the honky-tonks on Broadway. All of the action is there.

The Rangers had the best fourth line in the league for years until Glass started stinking it up. He's not the worst, but he was total dead weight.

Tanner Glass. Signing him was already too much.
