2019-2020 NHL season thread

Not fully sure of the actual quote but I guess when Panarin was asked about returning to Columbus he said something to the extent of "I'd rather shit in my hands and clap."

 

I heard the Blues weren't allowed into the "TALENT" room at the ESPYs last night because the security didn't know who they were. More of an ESPN problem with its lack of hockey presence than anything else.

 

More of ESPN no longer having an emphasis on sports.

 

Anyone have a take on the Lucic/Neal trade? I realize Neal was a bust in Calgary, but is Lucic an upgrade? The guy's contract is a big burden and, man, is he slow.

 

Just 44 days ahead of training camp, Minnesota has fired GM Paul Fenton after one season.

 

Is there any question the Red Wings have the best jersey in the NHL?

Yes. Most rankings I've seen have the Blackhawks at the top. I happen to agree.

 

Give me any of the Original 6 jerseys. Except the Rangers’, which I really don’t like.

When Jersey wears their red-and-greens, that one catches my eye. I also really like the Blues’ and Oilers’.

 

I've always thought the Rangers' were OK. Of the expansion franchises I like the Flyers' as well as the Blues and Oilers'.
PS: Bruins' with the spoked B ate excellent. The alternate one with the bear is terrible.

Sportsnet has apparently decided not to renew the contracts of Nick Kypreos and Doug MacLean.

 

These are possibly/likely friends of Elliotte’s but I thought MacLean’s departure would have happened a while ago. He’s just not who young viewers want to watch IMO.

I’ll miss Kypreos, I found him entertaining.

Is John Shannon still on the network? I thought he’d have been gone long ago too.
