Our best chance will be to run Bobrovsky Shesterkin Sorokin Vasilevskiy or whoever šŸ‘

Cliffy in for Game 1

They can go back and forth running goalies , by the time we get to Murrayā€¦our depth will prevail

Yeah I mean I wouldn't hinge my plans on winning a land auction at the end of June. That's 2 months away. It would really suck to try to move a team within 3ish months.

Utah would need those 2 months to help get renos done

- Aaron_85

so they start on a 22 game road trip to start the season.
1st home game would be mid December.

they are screwed then. AM34 only scores 5 on 5

One of the talking heads pointed out that the two teams in the finals last year both had terrible powerplays. So there is hope.

Damn, Fallout ep 1 is pretty impressive.
Looking forward to the rest

Walton Goggins is such a great actor.

Thereā€™s no guarantee at all that theyā€™d be able to put an arena in even if they win the auction. The mayor of Scottsdale which the arena land neighbours said he has real concerns about the plan and that the development would need a lot of infrastructure beyond what is normally required. It would be 3 years anyway.

Besides renos, thereā€™s a poop load of stuff that needs to get done in Utah - ticket sales, tv and radio deals, sorting out a schedule for a venue that hosts NBA and NHL, etc

I know Keefe lurks in this forum, so let me say it again so he will notice it :

Game one of every series, you sacrifice Reaver to take out the opposition's best player. Let him serve his suspension for the remainder of the series, win it, and then lather, rinse, repeat.

A trail of bloody wreckage on the way to the Cup.

Plan the parade.

My guess is a bunch of that stuff is being done behind the scenes or already done. The owner of the Jazz owns his venue, he won't have an issue helping create a schedule (which the NHL is already doing) and radio/tv won't have an issue cause they wanna make money. Sure there's lots of things to do but I don't see them as real obstacles.

Oh for sure Arizona wasn't making their deadline really for a new arena. I don't know why Bettman has kept insisting this team should stay there, the state doesn't seem to want them at all.

hockey players arent known for their originality on nicknames. Its Reavo, Reavesy, or Reaver. Only exception is that all Campbells are called soupy

Matthews is too savvy and aware to be caught like that. He has eyes in the back of his head and sees the game in slow motion. He is the One.

You have Reaver do it Marchand style with plausible deniability. That might buy you another series or two until somebody takes out Nylander or Marner in retaliation.

Detroit and Washington both playing for the lives. Tonight's Blue and White games should be interesting.

That said, Matthews hits 70g and Duch hits 100a tonight.

Keefe should just put Reaves on his line. Same job my cousin had for LA protecting Gretzky in the playoffs in 93ā€™. He was a 4th liner but Melrose gave him a clear instruction to simply beat the living poop out of anyone who targets Wayne and it didnā€™t matter if he got kicked out of the game for it.

People are basically saying he can get 96 points without trying. I'm a megafan, but even I don't think he's a talented as that!
- Zezel

I guess if he played at the same pace he did in Feb for the entire year he'd be a 140+ point guy

what a lazy bum leaving all those points on the table
