Nice jersey!
OVI!!!!
He almost said the Jazz but he knows it's the Bigfoot
DING 340k Subs 🎉❤🎊🏒🥅
Hoping Ovie puts up a couple Roosters and breaks the record in SJ
As a penguins fan I feel neutral. Not sure what to think
Shannon trying to sugar coat the fact that Desharnais is going to be out of the league in less than a year
Hoping that Ovi can tie or break the record in San Jose; I waited until last week to buy tickets because at the beginning of the season I didn't know how close he'd be but then I started to worry that he'd be on a tear and be done with it before then. Fingers crossed for timing but even seeing a goal on the way to the chase would be worth it
Do you remember the Vancouver Voodoo professional roller hockey team from the 90s? Have their jersey lol?
Being in the stands of the Toronto/Vegas game. You didn’t miss aloft after the first ten minutes other than seeing that Toronto needs to fix the defense at the trade deadline or they are not going far. I kinda thought maybe something is going thru the locker room also, everyone pretty much looked off….
Rantanen to Devils.
We are only here for Leafs news.
Can you make the Tampa bay lightning quarter century video?
Sharks doing prep work for selling off Ferraro?
Avs just need to name Mackinnon Captain already
Along with players names in these trades, an indication of their position would be a nice touch. That's all I have, as my team's GM is frozen.
I'm an Avs fan, but I think that Landy should just give it up. I don't think he should "retire", he's perfectly entitled to claim the remainder of his contract – but, I don't think he should be trying to come back anymore.
He sacrificed his body during our cup winning season. He put it all on the line, every shift. He was our captain, through shining example and he was a huge part of "why" we won the SC that year. So, he's earned his money.
On the other hand, before he signed his contract, I (and many others) had pointed out that his style of play would lead to a huge danger of a career ending injury. He was never an "iron man", only playing 82 games twice (in his first and fourth seasons, so when he was very young). Previous, to signing his new deal, he had played only 54 games for 2 seasons in a row. Signing him for 8 years would be an insane risk. Avs knew this, and tried to stick to "only" 7 years – Landy held out for the 8th year. I think we all knew that, no matter what, he wouldn't be getting a new contract from anyone at age 35 after a 7 year deal. Avs did know that if we didn't give him the 7×8, there were a few other teams who would give him much more on a 7 year deal. So, we signed the deal with him, won our cup – now we have a perma-injured Landy on the squad.
Landy trying to come back creates a number of problems. First is, the Avs can't stop him from doing so. If he wants to push until he's considered "fit enough" – we have to allow this. This creates the next problem that we're never ever going to see peak 28 year old SC winning captain performances from him again. Now he's 32, the age at which a player, of his style of play, would statistically start to see major decline. He's never going to play up to a $7 million cap hit ever again – not even close. So that gives the final big problem, he's got the fourth highest cap hit, on the team, but there's no way he will be able to justify that on the ice.
I get that he wants to play again. I understand that he wants it so much that he's willing to play through the pain, in order to do so. But, he won't be doing it "for the Avs", he'll be doing it "for himself". The best thing he can do, for the team, is to just go sit on LTIR and enjoy his semi-retirement and the remaining years of his contract. Maybe even allow the Avs to trade him to a low/no tax state, so he'd be able to keep even more of his salary for himself….
Luke shenn trade is confusing. Did Dubas do this to try to prevent the leafs from getting him?
Thanks for the video! Great info, details, and insights! When the trade pool gets skimmed, you need to scrape right the bottom. Rantanan MIGHT wind up back with the Avs when all is said and done but it would have to be at a contract lower than what they had discussed before he left. Gabriel Landeskog deserves every chance he wants to take but at some point, it's like watching a car accident in the making. Good for Kerfoot squeezing that turnip. The Jack Hughes situation ends the Devils season, IMO, no matter what they do. I hope Ovi does it this season.
Q. What's long and hard on a Caps player?
A. Away games.
I want Locker to be back for Ovi's record setting goal, at home
Dubas quietly has the most picks in the next 3 years including 4 1sts and 15 picks in the first 3 rounds 👀 doing a great job behind the scenes despite all the hate
It's all about the leafs…and another playoff bouncing.
Can you do a video on the Devils especially w/ losing Jack, rhe floundering after the break, who can we even get, should we just "reload" for next year, should we even go for mikko ? I just need to hear tour imput on their status
I’m a Preds fan from Saskatoon so I’m a big fan of Schenn which makes me sad that he’s gone
Kyle dubas is a clown
We know you don't like Toronto. That's okay. We still like your show. And, we don't like Vancouver
Leafs continuing to prove what their fans have been saying since the big signings began. MUCH TOO TOP HEAVY. MLSE NEEDS to change their ‘outlook’ !
100% agree that the Devils can't just give up because it sends a bad message to the players. I also think if they gave up, then Fitzgerald can kiss his job goodbye because fans wouldn't tolerate it. The bottom line is if you are in a playoff position at the deadline then you have to better your team, especially when one of your top players is out.
Anybody has a clue as to when Adam Fox could be back? Expected return went from march 5th to 12th on Rotowire and I'm left wandering whether or not I should get rid of him for the last stretch of our pool. I read there are "solid chances" he gets back "before the end of the season". Anything more precise?
Even with (American) football players, pretty rare to see them miss multiple seasons in a row. I know that hockey’s a very physically demanding sport, but what makes this such a problem with hockey, that I don’t think you really see in other sports? Also, couldn’t the Avs, if they really wanted to, buyout his contract and do a Bonilla (without the large amount of interest tacked on because of the Wilpon’s dealings with Madoff) and stretch out the remaining money over like 10-15 years?
I was a vocal defender of the superiority of Gretzky over Ovechkin as a player, including the higher collective relevance of the goals he scored.
But as Gretzky is now completely under the spell of his BFF the Orange Dungball, and abandoned any detectable connection to his homeland, and most genuine, ardent fans, then I'm more than fine with his name being replaced on as many records as possible.
….especially if it turns out to be by Russians, as they seem to best represent his new circle of friends.
