Let's hope the same happens for our organization (Kane, Toews) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw an interview with him and even HE is a little dazed by the trade. If this blows up in the Cats' faces there's gonna be a lot more than metaphorical rats landing on the ice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Calgary got the most they could out of the situation. Let's hope the same happens for our organization (Kane, Toews) Seems like Toews is tired of the chaotic management, “I can’t speak for [Kane], but I definitely feel that the amount of turnover our team has gone through every single year these last three or four years, that’s where it gets really, really draining. And exhausting," he said. "You have a guy like Alex DeBrincat who was under Kaner’s wing. And I like to think that Kirby and I had that bond in some ways, too. And out they go, out the door. Over and over, we’ve seen that turnover."“At the end of the day, we’re talking about a five-plus-year process, according to [Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson],” Toews told Mark Lazerus of The Athletic. “So that part of it doesn’t sound appealing to me at all." I hope both of them find a better place to finish out their careers, they have been hanging in there for years now and it just has fallen apart. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't you just love cheering for the Avs if Kane joins the team? /s I am doubtful they will get him but I have heard Dallas may be trying and that would truly suck! Hope he gets a chance at getting another Cup before he hangs up his skates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like I wasn't cheering for Chelios when he went to Detroit, and I was right about not doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnus 2112 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 It's been a while since I've visited this site. And almost 7 was since the Avs have won the cup. I still cry almost every time I think about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus 2112 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I've followed this team since the start of the 00-01 season and had to miss game 7 thanks to some stupid year end scout camp(it was amazing). Been through way too many lows the last 10 years, but now the cup is home. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since my Mom passed 6 years ago I have followed them and was sad at how far they had fallen. It has been a great story to watch them reform into a powerhouse and win another Cup. Sakic was Mom's favorite player so he became a great GM, the trades he made at the deadline really were an ace in the hole for the team. Very happy for them to win another Cup.

Rhyta Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Been quiet here, USA gets booted from the Juniors by Czechia Very disappointing. On the trade front, Jack Johnson signs a one year deal with the Hawks, guess he figured he'd try to help them out or wants to play one more year? Today Calgary signed Kadri to a 7 year contract, Avs will continue to see him now, guess Flames needed him after losing Johnny Hockey and Tkachuk. They could be scary now with Huberdeau and Campbell in goal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avs will continue to see him, now. I guess the Flames needed him after losing Johnny Hockey and Tkachuk. Calgary, could be scary, now, with Jonathan Huberdeau, and Jacob Markstrom. In Edmonton, Jack Campbell is in goal. At the 2022 IIHF World Junior Championships in Edmonton, Alberta, in the quarterfinal games after the preliminary round ones, Canada, and U.S. finished first place in Groups A & B, Canada beat Switzerland 6-3, and Czechia beat U.S. 4-2. In the Gold Medal game, Canada beat Finland 3-2 in overtime. I've always liked Nazem Kadri, and haven't had any problems, and issues on how he plays. When he played on, and for the Toronto Maple Leafs, and Colorado Avalanche, he has, and does it with heart including on his sleeve. Don't know, and haven't known how Calgary, Columbus, and Florida will do with Jonathan Huberdeau, Johnny Gaudreau, and Matthew Tkachuk. Calgary, has the goalie Jacob Markstrom, and Edmonton, has the goalie Jack Campbell. Edited August 28, 2022 by Derek19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Smith is in his last year of his contract and (I believe) hurt at the moment. So they needed a replacement. Paul Stazny signed a one year contract with Carolina, that team is going to be tough. MacKinnon had his day with the Stanley Cup on the 20th. No sign of Crosby, thought he would make an appearance. Disappointing since Nathan was at both of Crosby's recent parties in 2016/17.
