Maybe the fact that “you suck” is profane in Canada pushes up the Vancouver and Calgary numbers. That’s just part of our everyday vocabulary here.

Devil Dan 56 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Isles got Sorokin to sign his entry level contract and he'll be here for the playoffs. It'll be very interesting to see how his game translates to the NHL and how it may affect Askarov's value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re getting him here to get used to North America and hopefully not allow Putin to “pressure” him to stay in Russia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can do training camp and participate in practice but can't play in games and would take a roster spot if they bring him to Toronto. His numbers the last 2 years were pretty insane. I'm interested to see how it translates. A .940 percentage last year and .935 this year, and GAAs of 1.16 and 1.50 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Now everyone wants a goalie that ends in -kin. Speaking of the other one, I read an article where the author stated that Lundqvist didn't come back from Sweden to sit on the bench. Ultimately, he may have done exactly that.

mfitz804 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Were our fans told to chant that the Rangers Suck and Flyers Swallow? No they weren’t, because we aren’t allowed to play any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, I think it will always be a niche sport here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will never compete with the NFL, NBA and MLB but their attempts to gain the causal fans are weak. This latest gimmick maybe the worst one yet. Worse than the glowing puck in my book. They're trying to throw an additional layer of lipstick on the pig with this restart which to me is bad move to begin with. What makes the nhl playoffs special in many cases is the energy that's generated in the buildings and the atmosphere as the playoffs move on from round to round. The only thing worse than playing in an empty building is trying to use canned fan chants. That's just brutal imo. I'll watch some here and there with the same interest I would watch a train wreck.

Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I don't know if any of you guys have been following the restart of Football (still refuse to call it Soccer) in Europe but the television coverage has includes simulated crowd noise and chants. There have also been screens installed in arenas where fans are shown in like a zoom or teams call format behind the goal. I have to admit I have switched between no crowd noise just hearing the players on the pitch and the simulated crowd and I actually enjoy it more with the crowd noise. Having the option to switch this on and off will be important. Having no crowd noise is also fin as you can hear how the players communicate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 It’ll be weird because we’re used to regular crowd noise. But I’ll figure out something better to be upset about rather than worrying about what hockey sounds like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MLS is doing the same thing here, the fox broadcasts are doing the simulated crowd noise and espn is doing just hearing the players. Personally I enjoy hearing the guys yell and curse at one another over the fake noise. It just sounds so phony, very much like a sitcom show with the fake crowd laughter. Both broadcasts are showing fans on zoom on the scoreboards but I don't have any issues with that because we can't hear them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) So with the college season in jeopardy, do you guys think our chances of actually signing Riley Walsh have improved? I see a lot of other teams are signing guys to ELCs now to just to burn a year off (seems to be a nice incentive for a college kid). Maybe we'll be able to do the same?

As long as Walsh thinks he has a real chance to make the roster and get NHL ice time I think he'll sign. The gripe is usually that they don't think there's a spot for them on the NHL roster but NJ obviously has nothing to lose by playing him. He could be better than what NJ has by then right out of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
