That third period was a complete disaster though. It's genuinely insane no serious changes have been made in the last month. Trust the Hall of Famer running the front office! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 The fact that it looks like he's going to get to handle another trade deadline is actually terrifying. It's the 7th year of McDavid and if it turns out to be the second last in Edmonton I wouldn't be remotely shocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Shultz said in his biography he knew he was in trouble when he punched Gillies and he smiled back at him. Jethro was the rare enforcer that didn't have to drop the gloves that often. He just wasn't messed with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Ape Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Here’s a recap of today’s Flyers press conference after breaking its franchise losing streak record. Boils down to “our front office guys are our guys, we got a good core (lol), we can turn this around (LMFAO).” When Giroux drops his no-trade, I’m going wherever he goes, even if it’s a team like the goddamn Penguins. Fuck this franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be his first but he's got a long history of this exact dirty play, just without the horrible outcome. And, as a reminder of how good NHL officiating is, there was no penalty called, despite it being incredibly obvious.

Tabe Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Fun fact from last night's Red Wings vs Ducks game: Last night was the first time since the 1984/85 season that the #1 rookie scorer and #1 rookie scoring defenseman had faced the #2 rookie scorer and #2 rookie defenseman in a game. In 84/85, it was Mario Lemieux and the immortal Warren Young (who scored 40 goals as a rookie playing with Mario and then did nothing else) against Chris Chelios and... somebody else. Last night, it was Lucas Raymond and Moritz Seider against I didn't care enough to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizium Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Looking at hockey-reference and I'm guessing Tom Kurvers. He had 45 points that year and finished 11th in Calder voting. Montreal had four guys get Calder votes that year. Chelios finished 2nd, Steve Penney 3rd, Mike McPhee 10th, and Kurvers. Of course Penney would lose his job to some guy come the next season's playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been in the front office with Steve Yzerman in both Tampa and Detroit, besides being a teammate of Yzerman's for two years. He's apparently very highly thought-of in hockey circles. Also, his "Little Ball of Hate" nickname is an all-time classic. Edited February 3, 2022 by Tabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
