the trashing of davidson is not that he traded hall right now or even the return that he got for hall, it's the fact the he either a) sent hall to the hurricanes for free or b) took on 50% of rantanen's contract for free. chicago only had one rentention spot remaining so either way he'd only be able to retain salary on one more player, taking on rantanen's money just felt like an unnecessary thing for the hawks
I really wish this tournament was NOT happening. I love hockey but this is a STUPID time to do it. Karlsson probably won't be playing either from Vegas due to injury. I follow Vegas and the Pens and am NOT a Edmonton fan, but if McD or Crosby got hurt or Hill in goal it would RUIN a great run in the West for either team.
2nd Star. Pretty good for 3rd line grinder. 😂
As a Hockey fan and a Blackhawks fan for 40 years, all I can say of the Hall trade is that I've never seen so much quibbling and drama over a 4th line player on one of the worst teams in the league traded for a 3rd round pick….get over it.
I think the P/PG word you are looking for is "honeymooned." As in "They are honeymooning the fans…"
Legitimately surprised Filip Forsberg wasn't named a star of the week, 3 goals 7 points and his team won 2 of 3. Tough to pick one of the winners to drop in favour of Forsberg though, it was a good week.
9:45 they also lost pulock in the game vs the canes. Also placed on ir with hogberg. Tony D was to replace Dobson now Scotty P to replace pulock. Mayfield is now the sole isles defenseman from the opening day lineup to not be placed on ir this season
Pietrangelo is like me I do not blame him at all.
Its ridiculous they dont include Russian players and Russia on the tournament. One of the greatest players of all time is Russian. Russian goalies have played in the last 5 cup finals. How can they even say its a tournament of the best players?
The Senators playing in Quebec City without the use of public funds is great!
That crosscheck Hischier took from Suzuki was dirty. Right to an area with little padding.
Isles are not just without Dobson – now Pulock is out too indefinitely
Davidson is right. Also, this is the deepest draft I have ever seen. That 3rd round pick is like pick #40 in any other year. I am petrified the team I pull for, which is contending, will part with draft capital in order to buy at the deadline. I think so highly of the draft this summer at all positions, I don't even want them to give up rounds 6 & 7.
I would like to see more neutral sights but like meaningful games and meaningful teams coming. Carolina plays in Hartford. Flames/Jets play in Atlanta. Utah plays in Arizona. Ave's play Quebec. Then throw in other games to test out markets. Portland, Hamilton, Maine? Green Bay? Out of the country games? I would love to see a FL/Tampa game here in Jacksonville. Not sure if the Icemen has an NHL ready arena but I know it has multiple bowls and it fits an NHL team. Probably better than the Utah arena for a hockey view point. Pretty sure buffalo would like to play in front of packed houses a few times a year. Maybe they would stop sucking?
Boring economics thought. So the housing market is slowing down, most likely going to collapse in the next year to 5 years. The economy follows suit. If people don't have the money to pay for their living supplies, sports are going to take a big hit. Having neutral site games might help with that. Take off the need to buy 41 season tickets and only have to buy 30 or 35. More mini packages. Then have the other cities fill up the other games 4 or 6 times a year. Less of a financial burden on the fans to have to support every single game. I don't want to fault a fan base that has to choose between feeding their family and filling up an NHL/NFL/MLB/NBA sporting event.
PushMePullYoujarvi is getting yanked back to Pittsburgh.
So over this Vegas BS, he played 24 minutes last night, if the tournament is that unimportant that resting is more important then cancel it already. How long before Stone goes for his annual pre-playoff break.
The NHL is playing / toying with the hockey fans of Québec that is the best I can say about it there is YT friendly.
I'm excited about the 4 nations. Will be a very fun tournament. I feel like people would be more interested if it was 6 Nation.
Of course it's a Vegas player the first to cancel his participation to the 4 nation tournament…
Hischer Injured.
Bright side is Hockey Guy NJ representation
hoping for not a repeat of last year as far as injuries go
Forgot Pulock on Isles also went down and to IR. D'Angelo was for Dobson
Doughty would add some dizzle to Canada.

Cronin's favorite "third liner who can score" and NHLs 2nd Star of the week, Mason McTavish!
Also regarding Chi's 3rd, now they can make offers to RFAs too.
Thoughts on the borgen contract?
If Lamoriello hadn't been flinging around draft picks for the last several years like they were paper airplanes maybe the Islanders wouldn't need to go shopping every time someone got a boo-boo. Doing the job of a general manager is not part of Lou's job description. 😊
4 Stations Tournament. That train left a looking time ago. It'll make the All Star game look exciting…
Wow
Thanks for the video! Great info, details, and insights! Well picked stars. Davidson made an astute move.
Four Nations, facing off.
Double thumbs up. As usual.
Why I disagree with davidson is because you basically gave one of the players to carolina for free, you took a third for mikko retained and basically handed them hall, coulda took a 4th or something
With the pre season games at neutral sites. I think maybe thays the nhl testing the excitement altho i dont think pre season is a good guage of that. Its kind of a cop out for the nhl if those games dont sell out we wont expand there. But if they do for pre season maybe it screams ok we need to consider quebec city thisebgames sold better than every other pre season location. Just my random thoughts
I have no thoughts. Thanks THG! Great video!
Four Nations doesn’t make sense to me. Let them all have a two week break in the middle of each season to rest up.
