I hope he doesn't get claimed. We need an additional goalie when we go to Canada


The Devils don't play in Canada until 12/3/21. But, they play 9 games total north of the border, mostly towards the end of the regular season. I don't think it'd be smart to carry 3 Goalies given the schedule.

I only speak English but English is by far a stupid language (unrelated really but I just wanted to post this quote):

"A book can be red. Once you read a red book, it's been read; it's a read, red book.

You can re-read a read, red book; then it's a re-read, read, red book."

Makes me laugh.

If the gh sound in enough is pronounced "F" & the o in women makes the short "I" sound & the ti in nation is pronounced "sh", then the word ghoti is pronounced fish

Caleb Jones would have been a better pick




Go figure. Jaccob Slavin, Charlie McAvoy, Adam Fox, Zach Werenski, John Carlson, Ryan McDonagh and possibly Torey Krug as well are all better D-men than Jones.
When did D-men start being analyzed in terms of point totals instead of-I don't know, defense?

Got to look past the point totals and at the defensive talent.

For sure Petry too. Also John Marino, but he'll never make the team since he does nothing but play lockdown defense (which just isn't flashy enough, since apparently that's the criteria now)

So is Scott Wedgewood the best goalie who will be placed on waivers? Because I’d like for the habs to claim him as an upgrade over Montembeault.


At some point there might be Malcolm Subban. Would be cool to have the better Subban in MTL.

Here's the rundown of everything big to happen over the past 2 days:

1) Carey Price enters the NHLPA program and is out for at least a month (WOAH-whatever it is, wishing him the best)
2) Varlamov will not be available for opening night (Isles better hope Sorokin doesn't get injured too, otherwise it's the Cory Schneider show)
3) Quinton Byfield fractured ankle- out for 2 months at least
4) Joel Edmunson out for start of season, will be sidelined for 2-3 weeks
5) Jack Eichel trade talks have progressed
6) Colin White out 4-6 months for Sens
7) USA announces first three players-Matthews (fine), Kane (fine), and Seth Jones (pathetic)
8) Finland's first 3: Rantanen, Aho, Barkov (ELITE-Wow)-Czech Republic's first 3: Pastrnak, Palat, Voracek
9) Montreal offered an extension to Bergevin (What the heck?)
10) Drouin out with non-Covid illness
11) Blake Coleman suspended for opening night
12) Pavel Francouz out for 3-4 weeks for the Avs

Did I miss anything?

I’d rather John gillies or Jakob skarek backup sorokin. Schneider is cooked.
