Rantanen better pick it up.Anyone else that is sick of either their team's play by play, or color guys?
I'm to the point in St. Louis where I need to listen to the radio broadcast while I watch on TV. JK is great, but I can't listen to Pang anymore. He's fine in little bits, but he has like 5 catch phrases that he repeats over and over every night. And the critical parts of the action are lost to him. Shattenkirk misplayed a puck last night, Panthers score a short-side goal. Pang doesn't talk about why the goal actually occurred, but goes on a 5 minute rant about goalie pants, and why the old pants would have saved it...
But to listen to the radio broadcast means watching live, and I always watch delayed if I'm not at the game.

Yes. Rogers hired one of the worst play by play guys avaialable and dropped him like a coil on Leafs TV broadcasts.
That would be one hell of a tank, like worse than the Leafs 18 wheeler of a few seasons back. I can't see it happening.
also Red you shouldn't listen to any Montreal radio or media for the next week. Galchenyuk is getting torn. the. fuck. apart.
people are REALLY mad he took a vacation instead of catching up after his injury. Also yesterday they asked Beaulieu if he trained at all during the break and he said no, Galchenyuk hesitated and said he kinda skated one day and dodged the question... they were together...

For Cody Ceci and a 1st rounder.
Probably for Lazar and Ceci and a 6th rounder.
Trading him would be a mistake, but the criticism is valid. He's nowhere near 100% and it shows, and his buddy Radulov was training all week, the professional decision would've been to stay here and do some overtime instead of going to florida to play skee-ball with his fucking dumbass friend who's also playing terribly
I really hope Claude Julien can get his ass on track

Agreed on all parts. BUT I do think Bergevin is dumb enough to flip him in a Duchene deal. I truly do. He cannot be trusted as far as I'm concerned.
As for AGally....something has definitely not been right post-injury. He was playing his best hockey of his career between the last 25 games of last season and the first 25 of this season. Post injury....eh. Firstly I wonder if he's really healthy yet or not. He's never been a great skater, it's his worst facet of his game, but he's even slower and more lethargic post injury. But I can forgive that. Hopefully that comes back after a full offseason to heal and train. He's young, he'll get the stamina back. And honestly I don't really give too many shits about faceoffs. That can be taught and he'll get better there.
My 2 real concerns post injury though are his defensive play and compete level. He's never been a great defender, but he was doing decently in those 50 games I'd mentioned. For whatever reason he's regressed HARD in his own end since coming back. Hopefully Julien can correct that. The bigger concern for me is the compete level. I'm seeing shades of post knee injury Cammalleri out there. After Cammalleri had his knee injury in Montreal, you never saw him go into the dirty areas again and was so weak on the puck, like he was playing scared of further injury. I'm seeing that from AGally too since his return. I don't think I've seen him win a puck battle, or appear to try to, since returning.
Thats a better offer, Lazar can add great character to that locker room.
Hopefully launching him into the sun.
My real concern right now is that the Seguin comparison might actually be a good one. Seguin probably wouldn't have exploded the way he did if he had stayed in Boston, some of these guys need a trade to wake up and start taking things seriously. The problem is, you always lose by trading them
It's a Habs thing to do because they've run lots of young talent out of town who blossomed elsewhere ala John Leclair
It's a Bergevin thing to do because he doesn't like players who are opulent ala Subban and AGally
Julien was also the coach when Boston decided they could punt Seguin out right before he became a huge star. Would be funny in a bad way if he's the coach and they do the same to AGally.
the Leclair trade happened 22 years ago granpa, get over it
There's plenty of examples in Habs history of this. Anyways, we'll see, but I won't be shocked if either AGally is traded in February or signs an offer sheet in July.
well, right now i'd rather have space to sign Radulov than pay Galchenyuk the 7M he's going to ask
i'm also excited to talk about Price next year, and suddenly turn into a "price hater" because I don't believe in $12M goalies no matter how great they are

A marginal upgrade honestly but at least we'll complain less.
The Leafs are wearing these bad boys March 18th:

They've worn the St. Pats outfit in the past, I really think they should have given the Toronto Arenas outfit a go this time since that was the name of the team in 1917. Would have been fitting for the 100 year anniversary.
Those St. Pats throwbacks are pretty good, I'm always a sucker for replicas of really old kit versus something kinda dated the team had in the 90's.
Wonder how the Jets will play tonight. They have played pretty good hockey 3 games in a row now (with 2 wins) and that seems to be their absolute limit. With the bye week coming after tonight I'm half-dreading a "last exhibition game before the regular season starts" lack of effort.
And with Trouba's suspension I won't be shocked if Buff will hit 40 minutes tonight.

Retroactive. Eligible to come back Thursday.
A lot of teams have started doing this. Go D2D at first and put on retroactive IR just before the player returns to make sure you're covered for the time they were out.
Oh come on, I'm seeing actual articles pretending the Jets are in a playoff race again. Stupid fucking points system allowing 95% of the league to pretend they are 'within striking distance!' of a playoff spot, and fuck the media that has to pretend everyone is still in it until March.
Jets need to sell off a couple of expensive veteran players - not for the return but simply to clear them out before their decline really kicks in. I just pray that Chevy can read the "games played" column when he checks the standing and reacts accordingly.

The two-game winning streak has transformed the Jets into a contender, calder. Don't be modest.Oh come on, I'm seeing actual articles pretending the Jets are in a playoff race again.

Only downside to Panthers winning is Rowe has suddenly become the gospel for coaching. Team needs a good coach and not some guy who could barely tread water in the KHL.
Hopefully we have a 'contender' moment soon and lose 10-0 to slap some reality into that segment of the fanbase that always assumes a nine game winning streak is just around the corner.
Preferably not tonight though. We desperately need to string some L's again and I'm absolutely sure this team can do that if nothing else but I'd prefer a close fought regulation loss tonight.

Laine is within striking distance of knocking Matthews off the ROTY award.

Looks like they gave Subban's goal from Saturday to Neal instead.
Why wait so long to change it...?

You can still make it to the playoffs
At least you guys still have Boroballs
If Cameron was still here, Boroballs would be skating on the top 6.
