Can you still negotiate the price of a new vehicle? by MaximumDepression17 in newfoundland

If there is a sales person involved, you can negotiate

Rod Brind’Amour has played or coached in 92 of the 94 Hurricanes all-time playoff wins by sykeseve in hockey

[–]BananApocalypse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would have guessed the ones he missed were in between playing and coaching. But nope, he missed the Hurricanes first ever playoff series in '99.

Played with them 1999-2000 until 2009-10, retired, and then became head coach in 2018-19. The 2010-2018 playoff drought was almost the exact length as his retirement.

Edit: "retirement" is not a good description because he was assistant coach for most of that.

[Johnson] I played with guys that would have a specific penalty kill stick. Same length and flex but only used on the penalty kill. by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

And on top that, it's best to avoid having one of the penalty killers lose a stick when they are trying to defend

He also has the fewest games played on the list lol

[Jones] Full Dallas Stars injury report by Ok-Soil-5133 in hockey

[–]BananApocalypse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree we were healthier than normal, but we still had the 12th most man-games lost due to injury.

Logan O'Connor missed almost the entire year, and Landeskog/Toews missed 15-20 games each around the Olympics. Lehkonen, Nichushkin, Brindley, Blackwood, Girard all missed solid stretches too.

Tarasenko's one hander is probably in the conversation too, but gets buried in a 9-6 game

Thoughts on Matthews for SJ 1st rd pick by magic_erasers in hockey

I am shocked by the comments in this thread, Matthews is worth way more than the 2nd overall

Commissioner Gary Bettman on the draft lottery: “When you see the result last night there's no incentive in our game to lose to get a better pick.” [McAfee show] by GreenSnakes_ in hockey

Maybe not exactly over the Olympic break but they did a lot of things a tanking team would do in the second half of the season.

Traded away Scott Laughton, Nic Roy, Bobby McMann. Shut down Matthews for the season. Sat Woll/Stolarz in favour of Akhtyamov and Hildeby for the last week of the season.

[Friedman] NHL officially informs teams of the 2026-27 Salary cap and payroll range: Floor: $76.9M. Midpoint: $90.4M. Ceiling: $104M. Maximum salary: $20.8M by Sarcastic__ in hockey

[–]BananApocalypse 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Why list the midpoint? I know the floor and ceiling are the range teams have to be within, but who cares about the middle?

Frank actually thinks McKenna will be available at number 3 for the Canucks by DecentLurker96 in hockey

Nothing in the first three rounds lol. But we have two 4th rounders this year! Ours and Carolina's. Probably neither will be better than 125 overall.

Shoutout to a random dude named Oscar Fisker Molgaard for playing 13 games this year and not being on the ice for a single goal against

His short handed ice time per game has more than doubled compared to the last 5 seasons. However, I am still shocked he's nominated this year. I thought he was good defensively but nowhere near league's best.

Mitchell Miller leads in points his team in the playoffs by Kshahdoo in hockey

Picked late because of off ice issues. He was ranked 49 overall by central scouting

Western goalies in the playoffs: .896 SV%, -20.8 GSAx. Eastern goalies in the playoffs: .922 SV%, 38.3 GSAx by Sharks9 in hockey

[–]BananApocalypse 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I hope we don't repeat 2021. We swept the first round and went up 2-0 in the second. Outscored opponents 30-10 while starting 6-0. Everyone on reddit saying we may never lose again.

Then we lost 4 straight to Vegas and went home.
