  1. I like to the Seals come back to rival the Sharks! I'm hoping the BlueJackets transfer to Cleveland. I like a Pittsburgh Cleveland rivalry.
  2. I agree on the Nordstrom uniforms. I still believe the Avs should have stayed Quebec. Then give Denver an expansion team.
  3. Just curious I could be wrong I thought the word defunct meant these teams were out of business. California move to Cleveland then merged with the Minnesota North Stars which in turn transferred to Dallas. Of course you know where the others team transferred to. It's nice to know tidbits like this. Thanks for the info
  4. I dont think I would want him as a mentor. The way he plays is a key reason in key situations. He isnt the guy a team could rely on. His numbers look good. He loses sight of rebounds. More often than not when a team hits the post the next shot is in the net. He may have trouble judging the puck coming when shot from the blue line. (Ask a Flyer fan about the shift.) I think its time he retires.
  5. Your observation skills are the best. Their is someone who sees what I see in Fleury.
  6. I think keeping MAF is a mistake. Especially come playoff time, if the Wild make it there.
  7. Malkin, 35, will now be under contract through the 2025-26 season, one year longer than teammate Sidney Crosby (but two years shorter than the recently-extended Kris Letang, who now carries the same cap hit). Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports the full details of the contract: 2022-23: $4.0MM salary + $4.0MM signing bonus 2023-24: $6.0MM salary 2024-25: $5.6MM salary 2025-26: $1.0MM salary + $3.8MM signing bonus The deal also includes a full no-movement clause throughout, though trade speculation will likely never stop, as it has followed Malkin through most of his career. What a career it has been. The second-overall pick from 2004 stepped into the NHL in 2006 as an instant superstar, winning the Calder Trophy in a landslide over Paul Stastny (Malkin received 120 of the 143 first-place votes) and scoring 85 points in 78 games. By year two, he was already the Hart Trophy runner-up and by year three he was taking home the Art Ross as the league’s most productive player. He also happened to take home the Conn Smythe that year, as the Malkin and the Crosby-led Penguins lifted the Stanley Cup for the first time. They would do it twice more with that dynamic duo in place, and now look to try it again while they are still effective. It has never been Malkin’s effectiveness that is questioned, only his consistency and health. The big center has only played 70 games in a season once over the last decade, usually missing significant stretches due to injury. This season he played in just 41 games, though he still managed to score at a better than point-per-game pace, registering 20 goals and 42 points. The negotiation, obviously stressful on both sides, has resulted in a deal that seems more than reasonable. The Penguins get to have Malkin back for a cap hit quite a bit lower than the $9.5MM he had been carrying since 2014, while the veteran forward gets the security of a four-year deal to play out his career in Pittsburgh. Now the question of whether Malkin, Crosby, and Letang are still good enough to lead this team to the promised land will be asked–or whether all this contract confirms is that they will each be Penguins for life. I think that the rest of the conference/league are on to their tactics. It will be hard to make it out of tge 1st round.
  8. Consensual sex in a public restroom? Im not sure how that works?!! I would he would not come near my daughter let alone date her!
  9. I lost a state job a 17 year military career because I would not pay a slut to seduce her (i was found guity of indescent assault because my jobs were payed by the taxpayer.) It still burns after 21 years. And the Steelers and the NFL let him play.
  10. I thought Trotz ould hve been signed. After all he starting to beat the Penguin.
  11. To be honest, in the Pens Rangers series. Games 5,6 and 7, the Pens offense quit after taking leads. The defense looked confused at times. If not for that fact, the Rangers would have and should have lost that series.
