To all the people who b itch and moan about Malkin not being in The Top 100 players of all time. It’s because of his behaviour like that AND his missed games, that always makes that decision seem correct for me.
Also some people don't have a good relationship with their father even if their siblings have a good relationship with the father.
Calls stuck in the q ? I doubt it. There is probably a reason why this outdated system was kept == ulterior motive anyone ??
8 losses in a row is no fun. I want the Leafs to get better and finish on a high, even if they miss the playoffs.
It's time for the NHL to get into the 90's. They are still stuck in the 60's with their fax machines.
Kadri in Colorado is gross I can’t stand the Avs and I don’t care for Kadri never have never will.
How much more motivation does Toronto need? Maybe some more jerseys thrown on the ice?
Nylander flippin the bird "I love being a leaf. We're very motivated to win." "Now F OFF!"
Stop making sense hockey guy or Gary’s gonna call again
NHL wonders why it can't compete with the other three major sports in North America this is one of many big or small reasons. Like this is the one day during the season that can change a teams momentum. They can nab a player that pushes them over the top and helps them in a cup run. There is barely any hype, the coverage is frankly semi-professional at best. Like, learn from your mistakes and look at what awesome things these other leagues are doing and use it.
A centralized trade deadline, hahahaha the draft is not even centralized now. Never gonna happen
How about thinking refs for not calling shit that leads to shit…
Trade Deadline: Send it in online, with all the boxes checked – players informed, bonuses paid, both teams agree, etc. …. submitted before the deadline. If the team submits late (within 15 minutes delay) the trade still goes through, but the team is fined one half of the value of the salary of the lowest NHL salary according to the CBA. No GM wants that fine.
very nice critique on the nhl
I would love for the trade deadline to be located at Shannon’s house. Just have to get the cats and bunnies on board.
Thank you.
Landeskog took a slapper right in the plums
Landeskog truly is weak.
Too weak.
12:50 My understanding is that it wasn't long ago they were using faxes for trades and then affirming on trade calls. They seem opposed to using the internet, which I suppose has the silver lining of being hack-proof.😅
The DOPS is absolutely incompetent.
What the NHL needs to do is modernise and get broadband and stop using a bloody dial up modem. Yeegods man!
That Sharks Islanders game was horribly officiated. Barzal was targeting Celebrini all game and nothing was done about it.
Theory that coaches are saying Toronto is a good team just having an off year so that no big roster moves will be made and teams can continue to dominate Toronto. Definitely an interesting conspiracy theory.
Woot! No more time changes!!
Still using a dial up internet connection
You can have my 8-track when you pry it from my cold, dead hands! 😂
Looking good THG, thanks for wearing Jets garb to recognize J-Mo's accomplishment!
2001: The Leafs tried to trade Jonas Hoglund to the Bruins for Kyle Wanvig, but their fax machine malfunctioned causing a delay & the League wouldnt allow it. 2026: nhl fax machines dont malfunction
So if your team is motivated and plays better when you boo them, should you boo them when they first touch the ice to show them you care?
100% agreed regarding your trade deadline suggestion!
I cannot WAIT for the Sabres vs Lightning reaction … GO SABRES!
Call-in for a trade is dumb. So this cue takes so long because it has to be officially human verified. All you need is 3 digital signatures(one each from the 2 GM's making the trade, and the other digital signature is from the NHL office). Fax machine is not completely reliable. You can do it by secure email…
Well, Todd said they'll take it day by day with Larkin, not that he's day to day. I expect him to miss some significant time.
Knight out? Does that mean Chicago will call up Cossa? 😂😂😂 I kid.
I wonder if there could be some kind of secure interweb portal for teams to report trades instead of Morse code.
Bonus rants are why they pay you the big bucks
Might be a conflict of interest, if THG handles trades due to his past experiences with Future Considerations. Rumor is, he has his jersey.
Varlamov is still listed as Day-To-Day!!!
If the NHL can make some changes to how they do the draft, they should hopefully be able to change up how they can improve the trade deadline.
Don Waddell said they only need to email the league before 3:00. The other team has to do the same to confirm it before 3:00. Then you're put into a queue in the order it was received for a phone call back (im assuming the league calls each gm to confirm the trade). You can watch Waddells interview on CBJs trade deadline live stream. He talks about it at the 59:00 mark.
Definitely 8-tracks would resolve the trade dead-line problems.
Take a shot of your favorite alcoholic beverage every time THG says “at any rate”!
GO HABS GO
I get it's hard to go back to play when a loved one dies. But in reality, we all have to go back to work.
One hour of a trade deadline show is 30 minutes too long.
NHL Office of Trades:
"Bill Guerin, on hold, Line 9" – "Okay, thanks. Will get to them when I'm done reading the contracts of this deal on Line 6; making sure it's an eligible trade. Hey, can you get me a cup of coffee?" – "Well, the phone is ringing pretty consistently here, so…" – Can you just get one? Cream, no sugar…. Hello, Mr. Allvin? Yeah, this looks okay. You can release the details.What's that? Another … No, no, disconnect and call me back if you have another deal to process. Okay, goodbye." – "Here you go; sugar, no milk." – "Huh? I said, 'Milk, no sugar!'. Ms. Quiggly, can you …" – "Oh, there's the phone going again… Save that! And remember, Mr. Guerin on Line 9!" – "I have to answer Line 7 first! Hello? Hello….? Oh, damn, looks like Mr. Drury has hung up. I wonder who HE was trying to trade… Oh, well. Hello? NHL here, is this Line 8? I mean, is this Mr. Sakic? Yes, go ahead… CAN YOU TALK FASTER, please? I have a lot of calls to get through! Yes … Yes …Ms Quiggly, can you get me the files on Mr. Kadri?" – "But…" – "JUST FORGET THE PHONE for a damn moment, and let it ring… I need that file! … Mr. Sakic? Yeah, please hold…"
I think Toronto still has a core that can win. They need Matthews to find his mojo again tho.
What Horvat did to Dahlin was almost the same as Tod Bertuzzi on Steve Moore. He should have gotten 5 to 10 games.
Kids, don't grow up 2 be like this LOSER, worshipping idols. This guy would blow an entire NHL locker room if he could.
That cross check was worse than malkins slash
The clowns in charge are clueless
FAFO😮
