2024-25 NHL regular season thread

Carlo (Leafs), Coyle (Avalanche) and Marchand all traded by Boston today.

 

NHL GM’s become idiots on this day and July 1st

 

Then you have Barry Trotz, who has Peter Principled his way into becoming the league’s worst GM.

Last summer he sent Cody Glass, a third rounder and a sixth rounder to the Pens for some anonymous prospect who has played 11 career games in the AHL and has not played at all this season.

Today the Penguins managed to improve their lie.



Trotz’s idea of rebuilding seems to be adding older, slower players and committing too much money, then getting pennies in exchange. That’s when he’s not failing to move actually-desirable pieces like Ryan O’Riley.

I can barely bother to care anymore.

 

About all I can say about San Jose is,that's a lot of draft picks to build around Celebrini with.

 

Think I heard on Sportsnet today O'Reilly has a no-trade (maybe limited), Toronto was interested in bringing him back but he nixed it.
Then there was the "Tennessee tax and O'Reilly likes it there" speculation.
Point taken on your overall.

 

Jackets roll Rangers 7-3 at MSG. Fantilli a hat trick, Mathieu two. Elvis had the day off, Tarasov solid.
CBJ back to top East wildcard. Four back of New Jersey in Metro ... they play at The Rock Tuesday. Vegas Thursday, Rangers again Saturday.

 

Ducks led Islanders, 3-0, with 12+ minutes to go. Roy pulls his goalie. Ducks scored into an empty net a few seconds later, 4-0. I've never seen a goalie pulled that soon. Ended up 4-1, despite the Isles playing another 4 minutes at the end without a goalie.

 

A video featuring an SJ favorite? Yes!

 

That moment you need to be held back from decking the mascot…

 

This could be the only Sharks highlight this season not involving Celebrini.

 

Nice comeback and OT win by the Kraken over Montreal tonight. It was sparked by 20-year-old Jani Nyman’s first NHL goal in his first NHL game.

 

Turned the game on with three minutes left. Great finish. And I was unfamiliar with the “Yeet the Fish” tradition, which is pretty damn fabulous.
