TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING ARE THE CHAMPS 2020-2022 THE NHL 2020-2021 SEASON THREAD (INCLUDING LIGHTNING HANGOVER AND OFFSEASON SHENANIGANS. HOCKEY IS THE BEST)

stick a fork in the rangers

man, the sabres

TIL Patrick Marleau is 25th all time in goals scored & 3rd all time in games played

Flyers are down 9-0 to the Rangers at the end of the 2nd.

Scorigami! (maybe)

TIL Patrick Marleau is 25th all time in goals scored & 3rd all time in games played

former penguins great

lol at the league’s outrage over tim peel saying the quiet part on a hot mic

Jack Eichel  21 GP, 2 G, $10m
Jeff Skinner 29 GP, 3 G (and 1 A!), $9m
Taylor Hall  32 GP, 2 G, $8m
Kyle Okposo  24 GP, 1 G, $6m
Eric Staal   32 GP, 3 G, $3.25m

sabres are distinctly better with eichel in the lineup, okposo and staal are old, hall at least seems to be trying/trying to avoid being a former MVP on a two-way tryout contract next year

skinner though, jesus

Yeah, not convinced that Hall can actually return to form. A little nervous that Isles might pick him up at the trade deadline. Someone must have put a curse on Skinner though, he sort of went from a 40 goal scorer to nothing practically overnight.

wouldn't sign hall to a long-term deal, but isles need a winger with lee out and hall should come pretty cheap (and the islanders have the cap space). seems like a good rental

gonna be embarrassing when all the sabres get for him is a third-round pick

sabres up 3-0 after two, manage to lose in OT for their 18th straight L

I have a feeling they will get the Flyers next game. Flyers have been terrible lately as well.

!

Transaction: We have placed defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere on waivers today.

He's been terrible for a while.

the good old stickless breakaway

Jeff Skinner stickless breakaway is all time. Buffalo’s season is being run by Vince McMahon. pic.twitter.com/y8Rk2zac8G

penguins with their first win in boston since 2014 peaking way too soon

If you have a stickless breakaway idk why you dont just bury it in a corner

Just need to make your kicking motion non-distinct

Bullrush the goalie imo

This is just awful. "More than half of the players on the Vancouver Canucks have tested positive for COVID-19... there are a few who are in "rough shape"...In addition, many family members of players have tested positive and are experiencing symptoms" https://t.co/UOgfSzSxYj

it's horrible. Vancouver is having its worst outbreak ever right now, with harsh variants spreading. a lot of people in the Canucks demographic have tuned out the health advice and think they're invincible

Ok I like this more than a potential Taylor Hall trade

honestly curious to see how much money taylor hall makes next year

Lots of trades, lot of teams going for it.

lumbus did well for themselves

My one Caps fan friend seems to think they got taken advantage of but Mantha is a hell of a player so

never thought i could think less of caps fans

Kind of feel Foligno will sign back with Columbus next year anyhow.

Kinda surprised the kings’ big 3 didnt take a chance to be moved tbrr

Im assuming they were offered a chance to move

tough to gauge all the possibilities

i mean taylor hall is a former mvp who has two goals this season, a fat salary, and had a no-trade clause. buffalo got shafted (or did they?) because that was the market

his fault for wearing a single-digit (non-nine) number as a forward imo

sounds like the caps did well to get mantha tho

a bruins-caps playoff series would be intense

This is why the Leafs exist. For moments like this. #Canucks

i was living in minneapolis, didn't have cable and couldn't get it on AM inside my apartment. so i was outside in my car at 1am because my car radio could pick up KDKA pittsburgh 900 miles away

almost had a skater (artem anisimov) forced to play in goal!

xpost that was a great game! I never tuned in until the OT began (and Lemieux was already tossed) but was happy with the 3+ periods witnessed

some ugly shit

I won't even pretend to understand why that's bad and just say fuck the Caps

the 'violence' tom wilson chose was punching a guy in the back of the head while he was lying face-down on the ice

...and when panarin stuck up for his mate, wilson grabbed him by the hair and slammed his head to the ice, injuring him.

I found video, smgdh

no suspension too, fuck the NHL. Panarin done for the season apparently

i read his injury had nothing to do with the hit?

still a travesty - permanently suspend wilson and charge him with assault

ok think i was mistaken, sorry!

bold statement from the rangers
