Wait... NHL got poor TV ratings? Say it ain't so. That is so unlike all of televised hockey history! Oh wait, no, it is literally completely normal. Yet surprising to some?

Much less 36 year old malkin
What's OV getting on his new contract?

Like it or lump it but there is a big difference between Malkin and Ovechkin.

Plus, Ovechkin's deal was an overpayment.

mikey's Thread of Penguin Randomness

Yeah, but like,,,why do we need that? Can’t we describe his game in 10 words and do the player more justice?

That would require people to be able to understand the description, without a comparison. You are giving too much credit.

Caps trying to clear cap space by putting $2.5M Kempny on waivers. hurt last year, but useage wise he would parallel Pens usage of Pettersson. Kempny used to be a good player. Three straight horrific left leg injuries has put him in the meat grinder... Kempny was a max of a 3rd pair guy, but got 2n...

Seattle picks free agent Twarynski from the Flyers in the ED, sign him to a one year deal, and waive him.

Yet another example of the fail that was Seattle's ED.

They've gone plaid! There are an entire 3 players on that roster that are 100% sure to make the opening roster. Everyone else is auditioning. Only 3? Which ones? Kap, Jarry, and Marino.

I *think* (but could be wrong) that Capfriendly is already taking that into account, because they do have projected LTIR listed. Again, this is also not taking into account either Parise or Chara contract numbers, because the Islanders have yet to release them. The $4.5M listed for LTIR gets the $8...

I’m not looking forward to the “is Backstrom a HoF’er” discussions that will eventually happen.

I hate so many specific details about that team.

If I had to pick a favorite Cap, it would probably be Backstrom.

How do you feel about Ovechkin in Washington, btw? The rumor seems to be that he is going for the most goal scored record. Will this turn into a Messier situation, where the team plays for him to score goals? He has probably earned it for beingtheir franchise player, but he still needs a lot of goa...

I'd rather have Bissonnette over Olczyk or Jones. Frankly over Gretzky or Carter too.
