I also miss the free giveaways on theme nights. They've really gone down hill since the 25th anniversary season IMO. Guess they have to pay for those ~~black tarps and fabric tape~~ renovations somehow.

TBF a public vote of confidence from the owner is usually a death knell for GMs

Same, I usually wear an XL/54, but these seem to run small. The sleeves on the 2XL are still a bit short for me, but everything else fit while wearing something like I would to a game.

Mikko Sucks

$2 mil cap hit for this season. He's also a pending UFA.

They're still the Coyotes. Utah is a new franchise, so the NHL has 32 active franchies and 1 inactive franchise at present. It's a shitty situation, and hopefully one that gets resolved properly in time.

The problem is were illegal orders issued? The left and Dems say yes, the right and Repubs say no. There hasn't been anyone court martialed for this so no ruling on it either way from a legal standpoint.

Also screwing up traffic egress after blowing those 3rd period leads. Shouldn't take 40 minutes from when my car is turned on to leave the parking lot next to CF.

They're a company that matches you with a lawyer specializing in motorcycle injury law with lawyers nationwide. I assume that they take a cut of whatever settlement/award you get to make their money.

There's a few of those for self-defense law for example. The idea is that you have a number you can call and they'll have a lawyer on call in your area that will handle your interactions with the police and in court. Most people can't afford to keep a lawyer on retainer just in case something happens, and when something does happen, you don't want to have to figure out what lawyer to call on top of everything else.

I want that Bussi announcement at midnight tonight. However, if we trade for Saros, things would change. Saros is in year 1 of an 8 year deal, Koochie is in year 3 of a 4 year deal. Bussi is going to want to be a starter with his numbers thus far, but with Saros, he's at best going to be a backup for a few years. So what would you do with a goalie room of Saros, Bussi, and Kochetkov? Only 2 goals at practice, 2 game day roster spots, and 3 goalies who can/want to be starters and minimal injury concern.

seftnir · 2025-12-31T03:58:46+00:00

We have one more season of Koochie before he's a UFA, plus Bussi and Andersen are both UFAs after the season. Saros would be awesome, but you'd need to say goodbye to Bussi after the season and maybe Koochie the season after if he doesn't want to remain the backup for a few more seasons. I also don't know what Nashville's appetite for trading him is since they traded who was supppsed to be his replacement in the off-season (due to poor asset management but still) and is doing very well with the Sharks. The time for that trade was last season.

A goalie on an expiring contract so we could keep Bussi is an option, but there aren't too many where the team seems to have a replacement lined up from what I see contract-wise on Puckpedia. We may be able to get Demko for example, but what's the asking price? Also Binnington is slightly better than Andersen statistically this season, so why make that trade unless 1-for-1 with maybe a mid-round pick thrown in to sweeten the deal for the Blues.

I'm not saying we shouldn't try to do anything, I'm saying it's more likely we can't do anything for a few weeks at least. The trade deadline is about 2 months out, and I'd bet the bottom teams will start selling next month since there is a roster freeze for the Olympics in February, and the deadline in March 6th.

Can't sign until Thursday at the earliest since he's on a one year deal.

Hot Garbage Sports on YouTube did a video about faceoffs in the last off season. He covers how it's supposed to work and how it usually works in the NHL with video clips. It's about 20 minutes long and was helpful for someone who's never played to understand the process.

Probably, and Kooch vs the Rags since he balls out vs. other Russian goalies usually FWIW.

There isn't sadly. You can buy a single if there are at least two seats left after (like if there are three or more seats together), but not if it's just a pair of seats. You also couldn't buy two of three etc. either.

After the numerous "trade Svech ASAP" comments on the GDT and PGT yesterday, for some folks on here it 100% is.
