It was a victim of its own success. It is cool it lasted as long as it did, once teams started scheduling their own, less remotely located, events.

As long as training camp stays the same, I am content.

It’s the Svechnkkov deal all over again.

What the fuck. Appropriate if this contract were to be finalized on Bobby Bonilla day.

Morgan Geekie -
6x5.5M
33-24-57
Drafted in the third by Carolina.
Linemate of Rasmussen.
Both drafted in 17, Geekie was D+1.


33 goals 24-25 is almost double his output for the rest of his career. If he keeps that pace up, the deal will be a steal.

Even if he regresses to his mean, this ...

Except for more games, the rest of the stuff is agreeable.

I got banned from WIIM for siding with Cherry after being there for 5 years.

I don't hate him, I just think he was less than great at everything he did in hockey. Except dressing, he sucked at that and it wasn't funny.

I like that Mogilny got in, but something about that doesn't sit well. Over Zetterberg?

I guess

Overall numbers
Mogilny 473 559 1032
Zetterberg 337 623 960

They each won a cup.
But Mogilny 23 games 4-3-7
Zetterberg 22 games 13-14-27 Conn Smythe.

Overall playoffs
Mogilny 124 39-47-86 -2 ...

After he’s too dead to give an acceptance speech, maybe.

If nothing else, he should apologize to Conor McGregor for stealing his joke.

He has been crediting Datsyuk as an influence for many years. I wonder who he credits for teaching him how to slew foot and clip guys from the blind side.
