I think the Jets might be fine, but Chevy is on a bit of a gamble. I think to fit everything under the salary cap he needed to have a young defence, and he saw four or five guys who could be NHL defencemen this year.

But he couldn’t have expected to drop 6 defencemen. Trouba, Myers, Chiarot, Byfuglien, Morrissey, Kulikov [and Morrow, too]. Was Chiarot expected to leave? 3.5 seems about right. but too much for the Jets?

There have been a lot of guys developed next to Buff over the last few years. If you were to take each of the young guys one at a time and give them a month there, you might have something by the end of the year.

I hoped Byfuglien was in Europe trying to beg Enstrom to come back. Or maybe it is just a way to get some cap room. Or maybe he wants out. Or maybe he wants to fish. Maybe it’s harder to get the young guys to listen when Buff does what he does [you can see guys holding the point way more than they should].

I was at the old timers game at the Heritage Classic, there was a really old-timer named Ford who played a lot of minutes and was very effective. He had a perfect gap and would reach a long way out with his stick and pop the puck away. That was nicest thing I saw Bitetto do in the preseason. He seemed to freeze against Crosby during the first period last night if Crosby was within a few feet of him. My recording didn’t work, so I haven’t seen the rest of the game. He needs to play like it’s the preseason.

**** off
DD deserves a lot of the heat he gets, and all of the jokes. This isn't that.

ah i tried that out briefly but found leftwinglock easier to navigate and slightly more accurate but i love that they include the ratings, really wish there was a simple sheet where they were all combined into on place for simple scraping

Bitetto must stop breathing or something.

maybe if i bet on the habs every game we'll get alexis lafrenière? if so im willing to make that sacrifice

jack eichel killing us

Gusev is terrible

lol KHL

tied 4-4. kk got it going, down 4-2 in 3rd. quick answer and all habs since.

u just got to play super clean vs sabres. their power play is killing it so far this year.

great game by our big july 1st signing keith kinkaid

Unfortunate bounce in ot. Kinkaid def didn't help us.

Habs have an elite strategy this year, just go to OT every game for the guaranteed 1 point and flip coins for the 2nd point. Might just work.

Yup that should be good for 1st overall.

82 + 50% = 123 points

Even if they only run at 25% on the coinflips, still over 100 points.

Quick is so completely cooked but lol at leaving him in for 8 allowed

he's done
time for career ending ltir groin injury
only 3 more years :edit: after this one

Just noticed this

How in the ****ing hell have the Sabres seven points after four games.

they did this last year too, they were ahead of tampa for a while even

they will fall apart again

Let us never forget the Habs in '15. 9-0-0 to start the season and 38 pts after 24 games and still finished like 15 points out of the playoffs.

OK I'm getting tired of sling losing the local fox sports station. Ready to just switch to YouTube TV.

I am incredibly happy with YouTube TV

I did it. Need to keep Sling for a bit because: NFL Red Zone. Also I see it doesn't have NHL Network.

This Leafs v Lightning game is delivering so far.

Edit: I can't even be mad cause I have Matthews, Marner, Kapanen, and Ceci on fantasy team.

lack of NHL Network does suck, but that's the only thing I've missed in a year

that was sad
