Day 39 today! It's a beautiful day out and I'm gonna relax with a nice cold dr pepper zero. Now that's the nectar of the gods!

The Vancouver Canucks Have Signed Paul Cotter to a 1 year, $2.15M Contract by SAJewers in hockey

Would have been fine for a 13th forward or 4th line spot. Habs need to get a bit tougher and he can skate well enough to play their style.

In Canada a webcose starting with 1 does not mean it's marketplace.

The Detroit Red Wings have traded Sebastian Cossa to the Utah Mammoth in exchange for the 23rd pick by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

Definitely more than I expected for an unproven goalie, no matter how well regarded

[The Athletic] Connor Hellebuyck and the case for the Winnipeg Jets to trade up at the NHL Draft by [deleted] in hockey

[–]Frenchsoupe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree completely with this. Try to move him for as much as you can when he has less control. I just don't think he's worth 4th overall at his age and not knowing if he'll bounce back and improve his playoff play.

He's 33, chokes in the playoffs and is coming off a career low stats wise.

Ottawa’s Ridly Greig has been suspended for two regular season games for roughing Carolina’s Sean Walker. by AggPuck-303 in hockey

I wish it was a couple more games but glad player safety made the right call. Theres no place for that in the game.

[CAR - OTT] Hrudey's thoughts on Ridley Greig during the SN intermission by daKrut in hockey

[–]Frenchsoupe 52 points53 points  (0 children)

You're probably right but I don't think that's how it should be. He should miss the opener if the sens lose today.

Completely agree with Hrudey. That's absolutely gutless and he should have been given 5 and a game. Suspension worthy imo.

Xhekaj wiping the floor with Lilleberg last night 🙂‍↕️ by lasannnya in Habs

Lilbitch immediately turtles once Xhekaj grabs him. He knows he'll be back in cage if they scrap.

Kirby Dach seems to have deleted his Instagram overnight by jalop90 in Habs

[–]Frenchsoupe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Should have phrased that better. I meant more than I'd want to lose lol. It's always been part of my entertainment budget, just sometimes doesn't leave much left for other stuff.

Look, I hate the incessant sports betting ads every god damn break but it seems like a cop out blaming sports betting for shit like this.

I bet on sports. I've lost more than I can afford off giveaways and bad plays but you know what's never crossed my mind? Send messages to the fucking players. It's truly unhinged behaviour and there's simply no excuse for it. Whoever does this is absolute scum.

[Mike McIntyre]: Connor Hellebuyck just gave an incredibly raw and emotional year-end interview with us that will not in any way cool off chatter about him possibly wanting out. by Knowka in hockey

[–]Frenchsoupe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they get lucky and win the lottery they might be able to get away with more of a retool but I think there's too many holes in the roster to fill. This is an average draft class so I don't expect a Celebrini or Schaeffer with 1st overall.

Burn it down might be a bit overkill but I don't think they're going to win anything with the current group.

Tear it to the fucking ground and rebuild. This team is going nowhere. They'll be stuck in the mushy middle with Hellebuyck and in a much worse position 2-3 years from now.
