2024-25 NHL season

[cberkas]

Laine and a 2nd to MTL for Harris

I guess the Blue Jackets won by not retaining any salary 

[cberkas]

Rutger McGroarty traded to the Penguins

Not NHL, but this triggers people and it’s hilarious watching them say how the game is now soft because of this.

No brainer

I'm willing to bet their insurance carrier played a role in that decision. And their attornies. 

[sioux rube]

Sad sad deal

It wasn't a bike accident; it's a suspected DUI hit them.

Does Boston College retire his number like UND did for Terry Casey?   Is there a better way to show their respect for his accomplishments at BC and still keep #13 open for future players?

Damn. Did not know that. DUI laws in this country are way to lenient

Sticks out for Johnny and Matt

According to police, a driver of a Jeep Grand Cherokee hit two "pedalcyclists," identified as the Gaudreaus, from behind while trying to pass an SUV on the right that had moved over to make way for the two cyclists. Police, who responded to the scene in Oldmans Township, New Jersey, at 8:19 p.m., said both Gaudreaus suffered fatal injuries.

The driver, Sean Higgins, 43, is suspected of being under the influence of alcohol and has been charged with two counts of death by auto, along with reckless driving, possession of an open container and consuming alcohol in a motor vehicle.

According to the probable cause affidavit, Higgins told police that he had five or six beers before the crash and had tried to go around the SUV on the right side after thinking the other vehicle was trying to block him from passing. He told police his drinking contributed to "his impatience and reckless driving." Higgins failed a field sobriety test, according to the affidavit.

Police said the investigation is ongoing.

He should be offered a sentence of one two-hour practice in net against BC then against CBJ … no pads or skates, no nothing.

If we had Germany's DUI laws, this man wouldn't have had the chance to run anybody over because he would have lost his license a long time ago. I doubt this was the first time he drove drunk.

His number should be retired from BC, his brother's too.  He was one of a kind.  80 points in his last season with the Eagles and an NHL career few NHLers even come close to. A good person too.

Draisaitl highest paid player in the NHL (for one season) at $14 million a year for 8 years.

He was highly underpaid until now.

I would assume that means Mcdavid has two years left on his deal. Everyone knows they'll resign him if he wants, but building a team around those two will be difficult with the amount of cap space they'll take up.

This was coming eventually, there are two groups in Atlanta and both have been the group that was getting a team.

Vegas could have just terminated the contract but wanted to do the right thing. 

Still one of the dumbest moves Vegas made was getting Lehner

[cberkas]

Utah wins their first game

[tnt]

I see that the Carolina vs. Tampa Bay game for today is postponed.  How long before someone demands the Hurricanes change their name, and then someone else suggests the Lightning change their names as well.

Sanderson gets his first of the year in what is a crazy high scoring game in Ottawa right now against LA. 7-7 with 5 minutes to go 

[sioux rube]

Sens win in overtime 8-7 

[cberkas]

First one in Wild history
