Tabe Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 The Red Wings & Flames almost pulled of that rarest of all birds today - a commercial-free period of hockey. Until 30.9 seconds left, every stoppage came from a goal or icing, so no commercials. And that one stoppage almost wasn't a commercial either - another 0.9 seconds and we'd have had a period with no ads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Quote The Islanders are closing in on landing the top rental center available at the deadline as they’re close to acquiring Jean-Gabriel Pageau from the Senators, reports TSN’s Bob McKenzie (Twitter link). Postmedia’s Bruce Garrioch reports (Twitter link) that Ottawa receives a 2020 first-rounder, a 2020 second-rounder, and a third-rounder in 2022. The first-round pick is top-three protected while the third-rounder will only be conveyed if the Islanders win the Stanley Cup this season. https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2020/02/islanders-nearing-a-trade-for-jean-gabriel-pageau.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 NHL contracts are ridiculous. There is no need to have contracts that long and then for the league to go back and retroactively punish teams for taking advantage of an obvious loophole is such a Mickey Mouse league thing to do. Six years is the longest contract allowed in the NBA, right? Parise signed a fucking 13 year contract! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still haven't figured out how the Flyers avoided trouble for the Pronger deal (which was so long he was still on a NHL team payroll while he was also a senior NHL employee) but the Devils got punished for the Kovalchuk deal that was exactly the same thing. I have kind of given up understanding hockey's CBA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 The Oilers got Andreas Athanasiou and a minor league winger for picks and Sam Gagner. I feel for Sam. The Oilers, in multiple iterations, have kind of put him through the wringer. Now here he was near the end of his career, getting time here and there with McDavid, and we trade him to the worst NHL team of the last decade. Never heard a bad word from him publicly about the organization and lord knows he's had a thousand chances. Would have really liked having him around but business is business I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AA has a chance to do big things. He's unbelievably fast and has some skill. He's also the worst defensive player in the NHL. Gives away the puck constantly and never defends anybody. But, man, that speed. I hope he does well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Zach Bogosian is the worst defensive player in the league (which considering he's a defenseman means he really sucks). The Tampa GM should have to take a piss test for signing the guy because you could literally put the names of every AHL defensemen on a dartboard and whoever you hit wouldn't be worse than Bogo.
