The one thing I dont understand is why CHI didnt trade Foligno but have a deal in place to where he comes back in the offseason

Get something for him plays a few weeks/months with a competitive team then comes back

What do you make of this?

Murphy’s having a bit of a rough season so it’s a fair choice but as a whole his time with the Hawks has been solid. Jones is very divisive because of his contract so you could probably make a case to put him in either category. He’s still the Hawks’ best all around defenseman

Flyers are a wagon. Give Drysdale the C and the Norris

I miss Craig Smith

The best defenseman in the metro most likely wont be in the All star game

Dobson?

Correct

Can’t believe Tony Deangelo is getting snubbed

Sabres are more focused on trying to take out Hughes than they are winning this game. Embarrassing from them

If you can't beat 'em. Beat 'em.

Probs one of the funniest sequences that led to a goal I have seen

Rielly just walked down the street and scored a backhand lul

So Brad's scouting Van vs. Buf

Wonder who in Buffalo hes eyeing

Erik Johnson? Vet, won a cup recently, "defensive"?

EJ kind of sucks ngl

Like thats what I dont get. Who we after. As unless were swinging a deal for Samuelsson I dont see anyone of interest

BOUCH OT WINNER, franchise record 10 STRAIGHT WINS, can't wait to watch the THG video

Bouch now has 40 points

Edmonton is my 2nd favorite team, but man do they play dirty. Flopping everywhere

I wasn't watching the most of the game as I was busy but I did watch the ot and I did notice Nurse on the Matheson penalty, thought that was a bit much from him. why were people booing McDavid on the pp?

really don't get why Knoblauch put Phil Kemp (2017 7th round) in as a forward for his NHL debut, they need did need another forward as McLeod was out with a illness but why not just go 11/7, Kemp a pure defensive defensemen and has pretty much 0 offense, didn't really matter though as he played like 3 minutes

Well, the refs gave Bawstun a nice lil reacharound in OT. Pasta two-foot trips Thomas, which was inexplicably ignored, and the B's get the winning 2v1 out of it instead of having to kill off a 4v3 for two minutes against an overdue PP team with four PPG in the last two games. Nice little freebie point there.

Im not gonna blame the refs but Manson getting away with a blatent cross check to Matthews when the Leafs only had 1 PP makes 0 sense

Just lucky Matthews wasnt hurt

And the explanation the ref gave Keefe should have that man fired into the sun

Hershey Bears vs San Jose Sharks

7 game series for promotion/relegation

Who wins and in how many games?

Would have done a KHL team or SHL team lul

Like CSKA vs. SJS 7 games who u got

But yea going Bears in 7

Same reason. He grabbed a stick and flopped.

General interest question to the CF Forum Brainiac's!:
WASH signed UFA "Max Paches" last summer BUT he was injured and all parties knew he was not going to start the season.
* Does WASH begin paying him some contract salary (or disability $) when the season officially started OR are they able to wait until he heals and begins in-house rehab or playing?
Cheers
