2017 NHL Offseason Thread - Phil Kessel Signed a Baby

[Vaspinne]

Despite losing at the moment, this game has been a very nice eye opener for showing which Flames prospects/tryouts are capable of playing a more NHL caliber team. I expect a LOT of cuts tomorrow

[Obsidian]

I heard this Matthews kid is pretty good

Hatty.

[Obsidian]

Montreal's defense really is just 6 pylons.

[Vaspinne]

Hatty.

Only 3 goals? He can't score 4 again? What a bust prospect.

[Obsidian]

He's saving the four-peat for opening day.

[Vaspinne]

If he even makes the opening day roster. Only scoring 3 goals a game might not cut it.

"Controller disconnected"

thats 4 injuries now, and its only pre-season:
Shaw, Drouin, Lindgren, Schlemko. Also, Addison and Juulsen are injured, not that they were expected to make the club.

Sens twitter already in top form.

Mike Milbury will stand in for Eddie Olczyk as the color analyst for NBC on NHL broadcasts.

Looks like NBC is really pissed off at the NHL for not going to the Olympics enough to self-sabotage

[Obsidian]

Looks like Trouba will be facing suspension for a hit from last night?

He hit Hrivik in the head with a hit. I forget if it was shoulder to head or elbow to head but he got a game misconduct as a result.

Hrivik left the game

List of things the Habs cant beat:
An egg
A drum
Stevie wonder in an accuracy contest
That beat
Donald Trump in an election
Off
A heart
A hockey team

And there are some diehards who keep insisting "its only preseason", except theyve looked worse as pre season went on.

Which means they can’t do worst in the season

After losing Lindgren, Montoya got injured this morning at practice, received a shot in the thoat.

Doesn't seem that serious but w/e

#NHL BOG approves rule change adding minor penalty for unsuccessful coach's challenge on offside. No longer costs timeout; no timeout needed

The tweet specifies offside only. So I'm curious if goalie interference challenges will still cost a timeout.

By the wording yes. This offside change is stupid. They just need a human error clause (ie: intent to blow the whistle) that shows the puck must be offside for a minimum of 3 frames. That, or once the puck is on the blue line, its in the zone. This whole "the puck may have been offside for less than a blink of an eye so its offside" is dumb.

Well, that and you know...this incident showing the league doesnt give a fuck about the rules.
