Around The League - 2024-25 Regular Season

While I hated seeing him laid out on the ice, he fucked up more players than he ever got fucked up. I remember first year Bantam in a Las Vegas tournament, he fucked a kid up on a Flagstaff team so badly the kid literally crawled to the bench. He hit a guy on a local team so badly he broke the other guy's collarbone.

Best of all he hit a guy from Van Washington
really hard and got a bullshit penalty for boarding. He came out of the box, scored and then saw me between periods, didn't saw gr3eat goal, he said, "did you see how I fucked that guy up". He loved hitting and pound for pound, was as hard a hitter of anyone in the divisions in which he played.

His mom always was worried as were most of the moms but the dads all loved the hitting. At least for mine, he loved it.

There were moms on Jr.’s team who loved the hitting too. Not my wife, however. He’s tall and lean and tennis is his better sport anyway so it’s all good. I thought I would miss it but none of us really do, including Jr.

Went to the Oilers-Devils game today. If the Oilers keep playing this well they won't want Allen.

New Jersey isn't exciting but damn they are tighter than a virgin's honey pot on defense. Even the Oilers powerplay got next to no open looks.

why waste money on a team that isn't winning a Cup?

The Devils might. And the Oilers are on a 7 game heater. But I don't see either one of them winning a Cup with the goaltending they have. One of them needs Allen or Monty and they need to overpay for them.

Also, the ticket was dirt cheap and I had two empty seats next to me. The Devils may be a good team but they aren't a sexy team that people want to watch. Tickets for tomorrow's game versus Stiffler and the Blackhawks are way more expensive.

Are we still trying to snooker a team into giving us a first round pick for Jake Allen? He might be worth a 3rd at best.

To a team not in desperate need of an experienced goalie, maybe. But in the end, Allen is worth whatever a team is desperate enough to pay. It works the same way with UFA's on July 1st. It's not that they're the best, it's that they're the best available.

Canes don't need Allen, at this point, to make the playoffs. And he's not winning anyone a playoff round either.
 
I'd trade Monty if the return is higher than for Allen. He was never going to be the goalie of the future for this team anyway. He's just a stop-gap like Jeff Hackett, Crystal-Ball Huet, and David Aebischer were before Price arrived.
 
I don't care which of Primeau or Allen go just get one of them off the roster as keeping three goalies is hamstringing us when it comes to injuries. We are stuck playing Pezetta because we cannot call up another guy
