Oilers up 4 goals with under 3 minutes left so Woody decides to let this guy get a little taste of the NHL that he surely won't forget

Saw Marc Bergevin trending and was like wtf happened

First Tweet





Honestly I sometimes wonder did he know he was out and sabotage. As notice how he and Danault both be with the Kings org now lul


Signing Gallagher, Armia and Hoffman, letting Danault walk, trading for Dvorak, drafting Mailloux (even though it's turning to be good) are all mistakes he made in his last summer.

Very good GM over his 9 first seasons in MTL, but i still think to this day he sabotage the team on his last year.

I get what hes trying to do but when your coach calls you out thats enough

Like man if he keeps this up its gonna be a headache for Blues management



Oi vey... this constant Binnington pearl clutching is what's embarrassing. He did exactly nothing wrong or outrageous in that sequence yesterday. He stood up for himself and his teammates, which is really quite amazing as they've continually left him hung out to dry all season long (including many of the times when he gets run and the refs do nothing, which is A LOT). So what exactly is the problem here? That he held back and neutralized caveman McDermid from jumping a teammate? That he's one of the few Blues who actually plays like he gives a damn every night? What? Tell me of the great shameful madness exhibited in this incident.

Seriously, have people never seen hockey before? Or an NHL goalie? The Leafs once employed Ed f****** Belfour, FCOL. Was everyone flopping onto their fainting couches in wailing anguish then?

A lot of those players including Quinn haven't proved sh*t. The only guy I would guarentee with that much certainty right now is Stutzle, maybe Raymond.


I mean every guy I named there have already proved they can be middle of the line players and they're only 20/21.

Zegras having the honor of joining my top 5 most disliked players in the NHL.
Absolutely revolting behavior if this is true.
Saying stuff like this should be a suspendable offence.
I hope the Yotes file some sort of grievance to the NHL on Stecher's behalf cus this is beyond fcuked up.

If true, he's a little sleazebag. Then, he goes and scores the OT winner. Just further proof that there's no such thing as karma.

Wouldn't surprise me none. Dude really gives off "my daddy's a lawyer" type vibes. Just seems like an unlikeable guy, imo.

I love Stecher. I have never seen him get so heated before. If Zegras did in fact taunt him about his father, that’s f*cked up and deserves punishment

What happened to Moritz Seider? Big dissapointment this year. Was hoping to see if he would take the next step but he has been pretty bad.

Adam Henrique's reaction is very telling. Whatever Z said had him shocked.

That's what stood out to me, too. Normally in a scrum, you'd expect to see very different body language. Henrique and MacTavish both looked like they'd rather be anywhere else. I mean, it could simply have been a "Here we go again" reaction, but it definitely seemed like a line was crossed. Zegras picked up the extra ten, too. Again, maybe that's for the extra lumber on the guy on the ground, but might be another hint that the interaction was not typical chirping in a scrum.

Sophmore Slump, but also was just overated by everyone. He's good no doubt but he's not a Top 10 Type imo.

But the issue is when they show up in the first they get mauled in the last 40min remember the MTL game

Its better when they meh in the first as often they finish strong

Any advanced stats nerds out there. Is there a metric that backs up this "JT Miller is actually good defensively" rhetoric I've started hearing since the coaching change? He fails the eye test really badly.

At this point, more buyers than sellers...yes? no?

All Possible Buyers (21): BOS, BUF, CGY, CAR, COL, DAL, EDM, FLA, LAK, MIN, NSH, NJD, NYI, NYR, PIT, SEA, TBL, TOR, VGK, WAS, WPG
...w/ $2m+ cap space (16): BOS, BUF, CGY, CAR, COL, FLA, MIN, NSH, NJD, NYI, NYR, PIT, SEA, VGK, WAS, WPG
..and in playoff position (11): BOS, CAR, COL, MIN, NJD, NYR, PIT, SEA, VGK, WAS, WPG
..and with top prospect/1st (9): CAR, MIN, NJD, NYR, PIT, SEA, VGK, WAS, WPG
(and some of those appear unwilling to take rentals)

Sellers (11): ANA, ARI, CHI, CBJ, DET, MTL, OTT, PHI, SJS, STL, VAN
(and half those have been described as in "retool")

It seems to be there are few real buyers with cap space and assets to move...and fewer teams that have committed to full rebuild.

(trying to determine any signals it could be buyers market or sellers market...I got nothing)

Zegras might not have said THE bad thing but he still said A bad thing to Troy Stecher
