Awful is right. So sad for everyone involved, not the least of which being his wife and two young kids.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

struck by a drunk driver while riding a bike with your brother a day before your sisters wedding, what a tragedy. :confused

Re: The NHL Thread
 

My god. Just got the news. This is awful. I just posted my pictures from the Flames game where Johnny Hockey tossed me a puck during pre-game warm ups in NJ. What an awful tragedy. Glad they caught that driver at least, but the damage to that family can never be undone.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I have patience for, and accept a LOT of things, both good and bad in life. Drunk driving is not on that list.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

There are no words for this. By all accounts, Johnny was just a great human. (and let's not lose sight of his brother too.) And the fact that they were all in town together to go to be in their sister's wedding today........


This.

Shitty day for hockey

Good thoughts for the Gaudreaus

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Terrible. That is all.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Pretty awful.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Just saw on ESPN. No words really, just can’t comprehend.

I believe the Blue Jackets lost a goalie a few years ago, too.

Rest in Peace.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I thought this news was fake at first. I checked so many sources and a lot of places didn't have it up yet.:shrug

Johnny Hockey highlights.

Just paying my tribute to Gaudreau boys. Heard the news while at the Gorge. Back to reality now and it's still so shocking.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Saw the Flames destroy the Kraken tonight, 6-1. Woof. Good thing it's preseason hockey

Fellas were feisty, too. One gloves-off fight and several scuffles

Re: The NHL Thread
 

First ever Utah goal went in their own net lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Nice W for Hartford over Providence to start the pre-season. Eventually I suspect we will see some actual NHL players on these teams. Chytil looked good though which is great news for the Rangers!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Oh Pre-season hockey! Rangers score 5 goals at the end of the game to beat the Islanders 6-4 :lol

Scary moment for Chytil again last night. Glad he came back into the game. Lindgren on the other hand looks like he might be out to start the year. I think the wear-and-tear is starting to catch up with him and how he plays the game unfortunately.

On a positive note, Zac Jones looks like he might be taking the next step!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

First two Ranger pre-season games have looked like regular season games that is for sure. Great pace and with people trying to make the team or be noticed the games have been competitive. I don't really remember it being like this even a few years ago.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yay Doughty fractured his ankle in the last preseason game!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Month-to-month too is not great. Also looks like Patrick Laine might miss most of the season if the rumors about an ACL/MCL are true. Tough to take a knee on knee like that in the preseason.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

If Tyler Johnson can give some semblance of his Tampa Bay self from a few years ago and net maybe 20-30 goals this year, that is a great get for the Bruins.

Now sign Swayman!!!!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

One week away until Opening Day!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Glad they figured it out in Boston. Have to wonder if the relationship is damaged though. In a similar topic, NY is likely going to pay Igor $12-14 million per year if I had to guess.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I really hope the B's work something out with Tyler Johnson now. They could use him. They need all of the fire power they can get.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

This might be a shit thing to say, but I don't think Swayman is worth that much relative to other goalies

I saw THG's video about how goalies as a whole might be overpaid and while that may have some truth to it, I don't know that I think Swayman is the goalie to make that point

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Do you think he got too much or too little? I am a little confused.

I am hoping that the Rangers have a deal for Igor done in the next few days, but it looks like this might go until next off season. Not ideal. Shesty will probably break the record for contracts.
