Horvat to NYI. Actually a decent return. Still probably stings a bit for the fans to see him go.

 

Aw man I was hoping he’d go to any team not in the Metro division since I didn’t think the Canes we’re gonna be able or willing for that payout.

 

I hear you. That's a haul for a guy that isn't locked up. I don't know enough about the Canes situation or if the have the assets or cap space for him. He should be decent in NYI. That sucks for the Pens too because I feel like we could be battling it out with NYI to get into the playoffs. At least you guys are safe there lol.

 

Canes should free up $7mil with Pacioretty back on LTIR however I have a feeling they want more than just a rental for the rest of the season so passed on Horvat whose expected to get a big increase in a contract for next season. They definitely need to pick up some scoring with Paci out.
Travelled to PA a lot for work and made friends there so I kind of like the Pens unless they’re playing the Canes of course.

 

Good point. Ya I think Horvat will get a nice raise. Basically that and the JT Miller contract is why Van can't keep him, I assume.

And that's cool you come to PA. Pens wagon has plenty of room for you. I'm still a Jordan Staal fan and don't mind the Canes. I like how they play.

 

I see you’re in Pittsburgh, we ate at the Grand Councourse restaurant one night, the former train station, sat overlooking three rivers, awesome place and food!

Haven’t been to PA in about 6 years now though.

 

Fuck you Jim Rutherford

 

Ya that is nice there. There are some cool places around here. Not a big city and maybe not the best for travel, but it has character.

 

Canes down 4-1 against the Kings in the third, score 3 goals straight to tie it, win it in overtime 5-4. Second big comeback win in the last three games.

Gonna start calling them the Cardiac Canes.

 

Good game, LA hangin with the best ! Phx was so good, then the 3rd got serious.

 

Bob Miller called LA that in 2014 ....good times!

 

So thoughts tomorrow on Baaaaaaassston vs Leafs ?? Should be a good one !

 

I expect a real battle, no way I’ll call that game.

 

Kings are a good team, sure the fans are disappointed but they played great hockey first two periods. Canes fortunate and lucky as well to win that game. That’s the way games go sometimes and start of the season saw the Canes in the loosing side of games kind of like that.

 

Going for the Leafs to extend that streak going on in B land.

 

Legend we both can agree on ..




Now if JQ can get in a playoff zone LA could be trouble in the playoffs !

 

Petersen not panning out really screwed everything up. It looked like he could start to slip into the starter's role 2 years ago. Let him be the 60% guy and JQ 40%. But then last year Cal just fell apart, luckily Quick had a pretty strong season, considering. But this year, I think it's just too much to ask him to be the guy, with his style of play at this stage of his career. And I dont think Copley is the guy, even though he played well in some stretches this year. They need a young guy to step in, that is number 1 worthy. My opinion. But like you said, hopefully Quick gets in a zone and if he can play like himself for an extended stretch, that team would be very dangerous this year.

 

Pulling for the Canes and the Leafs tonight, to close the gap to the Bruins. Gonna watch the Canes-Sabres game (TNT) and glance in on the Bruins-Leafs game (ESPN+).

 

Dude is from the North Pole ... THE NORTH POLE !!! lol Yeah, wish he was younger but seems to have the tools to win at this level. The Petersen ordeal is odd, maybe the $$ took away the drive ?? The Kraken have LA's real JQ protege in Jones, which is turning out to be a good race. Doesn't mean much, but would like to see LA win it's 2nd division title, to join with the lonely 1991 Smyth banner.
