The Official 2024-2025 NHL Season: Trade Deadline a Real War This Year

[Grand Moff Larkin]

I hate most NHL OTs for that very reason

If you don’t win the opening draw, you may just watch the other team circle in and out of the zone for three minutes

[practice]

So apparently there is a player now called Aliaksei Protas who has 25 goals and is +33 this year

[sutterfamily]

I missed this from earlier but... whoa. Obviously it's not reasonable to think they'd have the same totals on the SNES but... whoa

[Grand Moff Larkin]

He’s on Whale Emoji and it was painful that he scored two of the goals against the Wings

[sutterfamily]

Protas looks really good. Apparently the Caps also have his brother's rights and he's also good but "less raw"

They also have Ryan Leonard. I hate the Caps.

Friedman said the Leafs had a deal agreed Marner for Rantanen

[practice]

Apparently he said it, I didn't see him say it, I read on the internet that he said it

[sutterfamily]

Q: Rantanen for Marner, who says no?

A: Marner

[sutterfamily]

Montreal has 8 shots more than halfway through this game with Calgary and I bet they end up winning it

[linseman]

marner looking pretty good tonight

Friedman said the Leafs had a deal agreed Marner for Rantanen

If the Leaves asked Marner to waive his no move, I can't imagine them getting a hometown discount this summer from him (not that they ever would've, but still)

[linseman]

i just googled ”why did yzerman hate walman" because this trade got me newly re-annoyed about the wings paying a 2nd to give him away and one of the theories i read was that yzerman is just extremely anti-griddy (and anti-fun in general)

i can kind of buy that because still nothing else makes that deal make sense

[nick]

Very nice outlet pass by Walman to spring Hyman for the 2-1 goal

[practice]

Colorado is stacked, do they even miss Rantanen? Necas could have had like 12 points last night

[Cacophony]

It’s embarrassing how bad the Wild actually are. Cannot score without KK. When you have Merrill and Bogosian playing major minutes after you traded a 1st for Jiricek and just send him to the minors what the hell are you doing

[Cacophony]

Can’t beat the tanking PEENS

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Beej score a TD on Quick and the Rags

No loser point, at least

[practice]

I hope OV breaks the record on an empty net goal with like 4 mins left which extends the caps lead to 4 goals, ideally against a team Gretzky has affections for

[practice]

we talk about the inflated stats of the 80s but did teams pull their goalie down 2-3 goals with 5 mins left in those days? did the scorers on the teams leading those games immediately jump up to get on the ice to collect their freebies?

[Grand Moff Larkin]

It used to be like a minute tops for pulling the goalie, right?

Practice do you think Marner comes back or goes to, like, Chicago
