2018-2019 NHL Thread – Thunderstorm Warning

[HailToTheDeacons]

Wings took it to the Ducks tonight.

Ning shitcan Guy Boucher. Can't say I'm very surprised

 

[towelie99]

boucher will turn up coaching again somewhere, i think they acted too quickly but look for lindy ruff in tampa, him and yzerman have a good relationship

Not saying TB's record wasn't factor in GB's dismissal - being down 4-0 early in last 2 GP - but decision had more to do with "culture."

Key vet TB players were shutting down/tuning out. Yzerman much rather would've liked to assess at season's end, but problem was snowballing.

oh no, TB has a culture problem.

 

[HailToTheDeacons]

Keanu Reeves evil doppelganger will land on his feet somewhere. He's not going to find work as quickly as Bruce Boudreau, though.

 

[SkinsNDeacs]

Good chance for the Caps tonight. Would not kill them if they lost but it would be HUGE if they could win.

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger
Source say the Pens and Stars have a trade in place for Brendan Morrow. However, he has yet to waive no trade clause.

Time to get the trades rolling.

The Pens are apparently on Iginla's list of teams he'll accept a trade to, does this mean they're not interested?

Edit: hm..

Rob Rossi ‏@RobRossi_Trib
#TribHKY >> Told B. Morrow is choosing between #Bruins and #pens. So, clearly this is developing situation.

 

[avalon]

Trade completed. Morrow must suck now because that is a pretty weak return for Dallas.

Pretty much. But I guess we get to hear a lot about his "grit" and leadership now.

 

[wake20]

good lord the caps are playing well

 

[TheShot]

Rangers with another sleepwalking start - but recover to tie the game 2-2 after one.

 

[DeaconCav06]

Caps now getting their own 5 on 3.

 

[TheShot]

of course Gaborik doesn't score on the breakaway.

 

[towelie99]

from yahoos puck daddy, this is great stuff:

"Jeff Marek ‏@JeffMarek - Morrow for Morrow is an amusing 'headline' trade, but I'll take Kari Takko for Bruce Bell in '90. Yes, the NHL had a Takko Bell trade."

 

[TheShot]

ugh. caps win the skills competition and get the 2 points.

 

[SkinsNDeacs]

ugh. caps win the skills competition and get the 2 points.

The shootout sucks. That being said...I thought we were the better team tonight.

 

[Spot the Wonder]

Pens top the Flyers in OT for number 12. Again, neither Geno or Letang dress.

 

[RHTOG&B]

Trade completed. Morrow must suck now because that is a pretty weak return for Dallas.

Wat? Morrow is arguably our top prospect. Could come back to kill us in 3-4 years.

 

[avalon]

Pens have acquired Douglas Murray from the Sharks. Interesting.

Down Goes Brown @DownGoesBrown
Based on the acquisitions of Morrow and Murray, I think it's safe to say the Penguins are going all-in on winning the 2010 Stanley Cup.

Also, Walgreens is apparently a sponsor of the Penguins' trade alerts, which is weird.

Briere is out with a concussion. Which he sustained in practice. Um, don't practice so hard, Flyers.

Happy Ovi is way more entertaining than slumping Ovi.

Alex Ovechkin @ovi8

[avalon]

OK, so now I'm just posting tweets that many of you probably see anyway, but I love this.

Down Goes Brown @DownGoesBrown
There was just a knock at my door and when I opened it Zach Boychuk was sitting on the doorstep with a note attached saying "Your turn".

Zach Boychuk @ZachBoychuk
Are we just going to hangout for a few weeks @DownGoesBrown or do you have a plan?

Down Goes Brown @DownGoesBrown
@ZachBoychuk You're good with kids, right?

Zach Boychuk @ZachBoychuk
@DownGoesBrown the best. I just hope they don't get too attached

Well, now I'm a fan of Zach Boychuk.
