These endless Robertson to Buffalo trades in the ACGM forum are driving me mad. Somehow they just can't fathom the concept of DAL not being after futures, especially since they don't have their own first anymore. And no, the likes of Olofsson, Mittelstadt and Jokiharju are not interesting pieces in the slightest.

Easily the worst part of the offseason thus far.


But but... Olofsson and Mitts are top 6 forwardsscream tears of joy

There was a report that Buffalo had interest in him. But...that's kind of like saying the Pope is Catholic.

Have you seen the news about the leafs trying Marner on defense? Just read a Sportsnet article about it. In certain situations I think it’s worth at least a pre season look. But at the end of the day it won’t be anything serious.

The Leafs tried Marner on defense for specific situations ( like if they’re down a goal ), I doubt they’re actually moving him full time there, it’s most likely going to be when they need some offence from the back-end

Ya that’s what the article said, he won’t be moved full time but in specific situations, like when they are down a goal.

The most classic fun habs game ever unsure


Gally looks like his normal self. Doing everything to be the successful Gally he is.
Caufield is owning the ice
Dach is a force, no one can take the puck away
Trudeau was extremely solid all around
Guhle was even better, he's in my season starting lineup.
Xhehaj was meh. Should be cut soon. Curious to see him in Laval.
Wideman & Savard were no worse or better than usual
Norlinder was offensively flashy, but was a defensive liability . Let's see what develops
Allen played very well. He'll give the habs a chance to win. Every. Single. Night.
Primeau was bad on first goal. Still don't think it's smart to put a goalie in mid period unless needed.
Last 2 brutally gone in.
Dadonov gave away the puck in open ice. No chance for preems, absolute rip by Lambert. 2nd goal, daddy tipped it in, was in bad position, stick was in bad position. No chance for preems.
Heineman reminds me of Arturri Lehkonen. Don't get me started on that. Played amazing. One of the best overall players tonight playing with Cole and Kirby.
Dvorak was slightly better than usual. Protected the puck, and ran his line.
Gignac, Martel, Belzile were invisible or just plain not good. Should be cut soon.
Roy, and Kidney were fine. 1 more year in Q. Both drove play fairly well, and were fine on defense.
Simoneau played very well. Little guy, was very gritty, created chances. Won't make it. But I'd give him another game.
Offense: 7,2/10. I was impressed w/all the jump, they played well, and FUN. Which is most important. Lots of chances and rushes. Better team.
Offense playing defensively: 4/10. Lots of giveaways, and when in their zone just followed the Jets guy around. Not executed well
Defense: 5,75 / 10. Were physical. That's about it. Not too great
Defense playing offense: 7 / 10. Very good. Guhle, Xhehaj, and Norlinder all impressed. With dekes and puck possession abilities.
PK: 8/10. Not bad tbh, had some chances
PP: 7,5/10 had lots of chances, and once they were set up, they created many chances, very fun watching an active PP, with a good zone entry.

Habs: 7,7/10
Jets: 5,2 / 10

Jets just got lucky.

Wasnt that from that Van reporter who said if Marner was coached differently he could easily turn like Hughes

If someone has it throw it out there as man was that a bomb

Bobcat’s Post Game Notes, PS Game 3

Jackets lose, 4-2 against the St. Louis Blues.

-We’re bringing a much less skilled lineup to St. Louis. Best player on the squad is… Gus Nyquist. I don’t know what the Blues will be rolling, but I fully expect to lose.

-BARTENDER, POUR ME A YEGOR BOMB!!! Yegor Chinakhov scores his first goal of the preseason on a long shot from the blue-line! Maybe everything’s gonna be all right with him…

-The more things change, the more they stay the same. We’re into a new season, and 97.1 The Fan is still selling signed Gustav Nyquist game-used sticks. I like to think that they’re just trying to sell one stick, and nobody wants it.

-This Nolan Lalonde kid has done a great job in net. I would not be opposed to him getting a two-way deal at some point. Nothing wrong with an insurance policy for the AHL goalies.

-Lalonde is definitely getting complimented by his defense. It’s been very strong too.

-HE DID IT AGAIN!! BARTENDER, POUR ME ANOTHER ONE! Yegor Chinakhov definitely put in a heap of work over the off-season to not drown at the NHL level again. I like this performance a lot.

-I don’t think I’ve mentioned how much I like the Blues’ power play song. Easily the best 2Unimited song.

-It took them like 5 seconds on the power play, and the Blues are back to within 1. Krug to Acciari to Buchnevich who puts it past an ice-cold Pavel Cajan. Tough luck.

-What the f*ck was that? Robert Bortuzzo takes a long shot that blows right by Cajan. Tie game. Jesus, Pavel, they really chucked you to the wolves, huh?

-WHO THE F*CK IS HUGH MCGING?

-Imma be honest, I stopped watching after the McGing goal. I knew they had us beat. This was rough.

Devils unbeaten in three pre-season games.
Didn't the catastrophically bad 16-17 Avs go unbeaten throughout their entire pre-season?
Worrisome.

Apparently the only undefeated preseason teams were last years Yotes and the 16-17 Avs (so both teams who had garbage years)

Parise is a steal at his AAV and is a great 3rd liner, but this is some BS propaganda . He plays like an early 30s winger who can still drive play but lacks the finishing touch and playmaking that he did in his mid 20s, obviously

It seems this goes under the radar in the rankings of worst media bias, but damn do the Islanders have a lot of propaganda writers in the media. That whole article is a yikes
