assuming he's referencing McDavid's comments on Kane - then Keith "I never knew anything" knew everything about the Beach situation - and Holland being dumb.

But I personally agree with this quote the most regarding McDavid

vvv

Quoting: Rangsey
This is probably gonna rub folks the wrong way but

What would you have him say?

Bad mouth Kane? Then he's gotta play with him.
Give a non answer about how it's all a team effort? We've seen Edmonton play, any "team" talk coming out of Edmonton is absolute bs. They don't have a team.
Say we don't tolerate bs here? But they do, they have a roster full of passengers.
He was screwed to begin with.

McDavid is a fantastic hockey player, but he's not a media darling, he's not a super charasmaric leader, he probably should never have been given the captaincy. The issue isn't with Connors answer, the deeper issue is that he should never have been in the situation to be asked the question in the first place. He's been alone without meaningful support on any front since he entered the league.

1. He probably shouldnt be captain.
2. Edmonton should be in a position where they're not wasting a generational talent who is clearly so done with this he would take absolutely any help possible. You can tell he's done with this circus.
3. Ken Holland should be a decent enough human being that he doesnt go and try to sign Kane less they a week after his contract was terminated.

Yes, Connor should be better. But so should everyone else.

Did you see his comments about Kane? That man has no human emotions unless it directly relates to hockey.

Nice to see my old boss is still going on Twitter after seemingly getting his account banned everywhere he goes.

I know I’ve agreed with you on this before. So I’m going to say I totally agree again. No emotion. Reminds me of Johnny t. If he was my teacher I would fall asleep

Yeah, I agree more with what Rangsey said, McDavid can’t exactly bad mouth Kane if Holland already has a deal in place and you can tell Connor is frustrated with Edmonton

No I can’t. Tell Ep to chill out.

From a capitals fan.



I know I’m late. I had lacrosse. We need to make some changes if we want to go on a run.

20% of Andrei Svechnikov's NHL career goals have been scored on an empty net.

Not trying to diminish the player, just saw the stat and found it a bit mind boggling.

14 empty net goals? That's one behind Aho, and Ovi leads the way, like every other goal scoring thing.

So hes basically Marleau during his final year in Toronto

As I would have said Hyman but nobody gonna take his title of

King of the Empty Netters lul

But no complaints here as he was a solid game closer.

Its funny how I have been jokingly calling Nashville a Dark Horse for the cup but as time has gone by I think its becoming more and more realistic as come the deadline this team could make a big splash

Now what team has a good amount of upgrades for them, well...MTL is that team

Been trying to figure out a trade where Toffoli and Lehkonen go to Nashville but I dont know what the trade would look like. Cause I feel both sides could benefit off one another as Nashville has some good prospects and Montreal has some good playoff ready players.
