The Random Hockey Thoughts Thread

[killgod]

random thing I didn't know.

If the Nordiques didn't move, they would have looked like this the following year after their move.

Gross. Their baby blue's were my favorite jerseys ever.

Pierre Lebrun hired by TSN.

That's pretty huge cuz he replaces mcguire in some sense and most likely calls the end for his CBC days.

TSN now has the 3 biggest insiders in hockey lol. McKenzie, LeBrun and Dregger.

 

[leaffan]

Oh god that means more Eric Francis, Glen Healy and Milbury on the hotstove...

lawl.

 

[killgod]

oh god healy and milbury are turrible. right up there in keith jones "heatley gonna score 70 goals" territory.

That almost spells the end of CBC because they lost Jeff Merek to Sportsnet because he wanted a fulltime gig, and he didn't know how long CBC would run.

 

[leaffan]

CBC still has 3 years left on their HNIC deal so it'll be a while before we see if a new horse takes over for the saturday night games.

TSN is really going balls out though but good god I hope sportsnet dies in a fire.

Hung out with Setoguchi last night. He went out and bought an Aston Martin right after he signed the new deal with the Sharks. Funny to listen to him talk about how pissed he is about going to Minny but it was kind of annoying since the guy is 24 years old and driving a fucking aston martin and making millions.

lol I would be too if I had just signed a contract for a team I thought I would at least spend more time with.

I have to wonder if some of these shady ass deals that have been going on lately are something people are going to remember. Philly obviously is popping into my head when I think of it mainly because how pissed richards was and how even more pissed carter was.

Tampa Bay Lightning
Steven Stamkos has agreed to terms on a five-year contract with the #TBLightning.

 

[killgod]

5 years? What's this, a reasonable deal? Not some 10 year epic monster contract?

37.5M btw

 

[leaffan]

7.5mil a year too lol.

 

[killgod]

You have to wonder how the fuck that took so long?

 

[Obst]

Former Florida Panthers coach Peter DeBoer has been named the new coach of the New Jersey Devils

Manitoba Moose are now the St. John's IceCaps.

Wonder if they'll wear timbits jerseys?

 

[leaffan]

Not surprising but the kings filed a formal grievance over the smyth trade where it was discovered after the trade went through that fraser was out for at least another 6 months.

Is there a website where I can kind of get a round up of all the goings downs this summer. Like a blog type site?

Here is TSN's UFA tracker, where they show what players went where. Other then player signings, not much else going on other then Winnipeg.
