  • Re: NHL 2017.1: We turn over a new Leaf and still find a Penguin

    Reading about the Knights last weekend I came across the never knew existed "talent bankruptcy” draft.

          I agree, though it's typically been awarded to coaches who get really good goaltending for a year (and then unsurprisingly when the team is in last place the next year, nobody thinks that coach is good anymore ).

              Mcdermid is possibly a top 6,but may be a 3rd pair.

              It's going to cost MLSE to hit the free agent D market, and a trade will cost assets unless they deal with Garth Snow.

              What is down at the Marlies?
              Don't think there's a top four D on the farm. Bozak wants to stay. Sign him and trade Nylander for a D-man.

                  When did the NHL stop re-seeding the second round of the playoffs? Isn't it stupid to have the 2 teams with the most points in the NHL playing a second round playoff series? Did this happen when they went back to a 4 division setup? My interest in the NHL has cratered in the last 10 years so I have not paid much attention to the regular season and don't really even know what the regular season rankings were the last few years when the post season rolled around.

                        Yes. Gary, in all his brilliance, wanted to force division rivalries down our throats, so you get your 2v3 division first round match ups, 1 vs. Wild card. Then 2nd round is slated for a "division" finals, leading to ECF. It's stupid, IMO, as you're usually going to lose a really good team or 3 in the second round.

                        It's a shame that this year will have TBL/BOS, NSH/WPG losers bow out in the 2nd round, when those could very well have been your conference finalists in the old setup.

                          You lose teams that would normally make the second round as well. There were two teams I didn't like the Wild's chances against. Nashville and Winnipeg. They played Winnipeg in a road series when they would have had home ice in a standard 1v8 2v7 3v6 4v5 format.

                          I don't think the Wild get out of conference semifinals regardless, but dang what a ripoff.

                              He's still playing? I'd like to know his fitness regimen.

                                He came out of retirement at 45 to play the Division 1B World Championships for Lithuania, who was hosting. They defeated Estonia 4-1 to clinch the tournament and promotion to Division 1A (the second division).

                                I have an odd fascination with these lower level tournaments, this year's Division 1A has been insane and is about to end in a four-way tie (barring a choke job by Hungary)
