2020-21 The Carter Hart Era PT2(The raising of the cup)

[purdue81]

Yep, and teams saw our defense be exposed last playoffs, we didn't do anything to address that and we lost Nisky, and this is probably going to be the most physical division. That's why you need those cream puff games incase guys gotta heal some.

but but but JvR is 6-3 217 lbs.

Here's video of his prior fights....

Ill agree i love the teams playing each other every day which will lead to rivalries going wild. Heavy hitting fighting and so on. Making the playoff and surviving tough series all year long does pay its price when entering the playoffs.. My prediction is anyone in the east who has it tough all year long will fizzle out in the playoffs. It will be a good regular season though

That's probably a fair concern. I didn't really think about that. Hopefully it just makes them battle tested, rather than totally wearing them out.

On the flip side, they'll have significantly less travel than the rest of the divisions also. So maybe that helps counter some of the grind on the ice?

Please, no !

Report: NHL exploring selling ads on players' helmets

The NHL is exploring the idea of selling ads on players' helmets in an effort to create additional revenue, reports Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman. The possibility was brought up during Wednesday's Board of Governors call, but there won't be any formal comment until team presidents are informed...

Teams announcing a couple of these on twitter now. Caps - Capital One, Devils - Prudential.

They're replacing the team logo on the helmet. That's extremely lame. Subtle enough to not distract while watching a game, but it looks stupid up close.

And how lame is this intro! Trying to get us pumped for it!? That's insane.

I don’t see the problem with the additional ads on helmets. They gotta make up for the loss of ticket revenue somehow. As a season ticket holder, whatever they gotta do to keep me from getting bent over when they do allow fans back, I’m all for it. Couldn’t care less if it’s an eyesore

I agree 100%!! I just hope we can play as good as last year and keep the solid play going. I just love when we win and hate so much when we lose.

A change of tune felt from the Flyers' bench boss on Patrick's outlook

A new season has brought a fresh outlook for Nolan Patrick. The positivity on the future of Flyers' 2017 second overall pick was noticeable in Alain Vigneault's perspective Monday. By Jordan Hall

Can we count on Nolan Patrick this season?

 

[lasgop8]

You know what would be awesome. If Gustafsson came in and played as well as Nisky.

Is this possible and if not how much of a drop off will we see?

I do like this rule change. I cringed every time I'd see a player try to stretch to keep the skate down - fearing pulled groins or worse. I'm sure teams are figuring out ways to exploit the rule. Seems like players will be able to carry more momentum into O zone with this.

This is terrible if this happens to hockey it would be very distracting.

The league is going with more offense just when we get a defensive coach/system. Just our luck.

Boston is truly a wildcard ---- My gut is they have a fall-off from recent years.

I am sadly predicting, no.

But hey, there’s a lot of new migraine drugs out there. Just don’t know side effects. tV ads claim Serena Williams plays tennis after taking it.
