Hockey Randomness

Anisimov always seemed like an AHL 1C who doesn’t really fit in the NHL, since he’s somewhere in between 2C and 3C capabilities, but isn’t a natural fit at either.

James Neal is on waivers

He has a fat contract, doesn't he?

Edm Press doesn't think too highly of Neal's play this year:

Neal moved up the line-up in the Montreal game, taking Puljujarvi’s spot at 1RW alongside Connor McDavid and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. He managed a couple of decent shots on goal but struggled to keep up to the pace of play, as he has generally done throughout much of the season to date. There has been precious little sign of the lethal hands which have produced 291 NHL goals in his accomplished career.

How much of that is due to his late start and his general health vs. the fact his skills are in decline at age 33 is an open question. But it seems that the team wants to open up the option to sit him out for a given game here or there.

I understand Carolina moving Dzingel out, but I don't get them taking what they took in return.

Paquette is a good pest...adds some sandpaper to that group...

Why would you put a 33yo on McDavid's wing? He couldn't keep up? You don't say.

Neal was never a great skater. He is a hole finder.

It appears the over on senators game isn't automatic anymore

Co-worker of mine from Arkansas doesn't know hockey at all but always bets overs.

Finding hole was his top priority in Pittsburgh

Those Phoenix reverse retros are heinous. And they didn't even have matching gloves. Wore their regular red and blacks.

Devils haven't played in two weeks, will miss their sixth straight game tomorrow.

Not that they have a shot anyway but I'd be good with saying, if you can't get your COVID act together for two weeks straight, you're out.
