Oh boy! Do we get Barry Melrose back???

Actually, as long as we don't get Bill Clement, I will settle for Melrose.

Correct, which is why I think he is done next year one way or the other.

The ‘no, really, EVERYTHING MUST GO’ tier
Andrew Ladd: Nice try, but unless a longer, more onerous contract (Zach Parise, anyone?) is coming back, Ladd and the two years at $5.5 million remaining on his deal are stuck here until he decides he’s had enough or the Islanders engage in a costly buyout. Ladd hasn’t played a second of hockey this season and isn’t likely to.

expect more identity politics injected into hockey than ever before.......

Soon after will come the announced return of Jemele Hill, where she'll give her hot take between periods on how the NHL is steeped in white supremacy

She makes my stomach turn. Disgusting human being but that’s how she markets herself.

If Ladd is bought out next year, the penalties aren’t all that bad.

It makes me sick. I just want to watch the damn game! Take the woke BS and shove it up your arse!

What's going on with Pageau being in for Martin? Trotz did it last game too.

I think he likes to have Pageau out against the Perfection Line.
