OFFICIAL HOCKEY THREAD: NHL, KHL, NCAA, IIHL

How do hockey jerseys fit? If I normally wear a medium (40) in basketball jerseys does it make sense getting that in hockey? I'm 5'7 155 if it matters.

I'm a little over 5'10", 170 lbs. I have a M Reebok jersey and it fits pretty well. A little bit longer than I'd like on the length, but the sleeves and body fit pretty well.

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

So you thinking I should go with a S if I want the basic fit, or a M if I wanna rock a hoody under it?

Just getting normal size and you will still be able to wear a hoody under. Slim fit hockey jerseys wouldn't look right imo. You could always get the jersey tailored like I plan too with the sleeves.

 

[True Blues]

Still in shock and disbelief.

What on Earth is Sweeney doing?

The bottom line is that the Bruins added only a backup goaltender while losing three everyday players over the weekend in Carl Soderberg, Lucic and Hamilton. That math doesn't add up.

Arizona trades for the ghost of Chris Pronger and his 4.9 mil cap hit just sell and move that team already jesus

Dubnyk reups with Minny. Is he the real deal though? His entire career prior to half the season last year was at best meh (and yes I know he was in Edmonton ) What changed besides a better team?

so u think a S makes sense for me then?

i havent boguht a jersey since the brian leetch 1 i had as a kid

 

[dmxfury]

Size down, in theory the jerseys are made to fit with pads underneath (or that's how it seems)

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Thanks

 

[tpfltxl]

I'm 5'6 160. Reebok S fit is good, just the sleeves are long

Boston should treat DSA, and trade the ghost of Marc Savard as well.

Dubynk definitely has more confidence lol. He did carry that Wid team right?

 

[youngin33]

I was surprised to hear abou Hagelin, developed into a fan favorite and a nice player. Plus dude can coast!!!! His play will be missed.

 

[thehbkid]

Big move for Hagelin... He and Silfy train in the offseason in Stockholm and are pretty tight so a line of HAGELIN-KESLER-SILF would be :x IMO

Elliotte Friedman ‏@FriedgeHNIC 5m5 minutes ago

Buyouts today: Richards (LA), Parenteau (MON) and Fistric (ANA).

Will not be surprised at all if Richards and JWill are both Ducks at the end of the week.

[DeadsetAce]

not sure who started the Dougie Hamilton smear campaign, but absolutely ridiculous. embarrassed to be a Boston fan right now in so many ways

The Coyotes are still 13 mil under the salary cap floor



i hope dean tried to make an offer on richards before buying him out. arizona, where you can dump your bad contracts.

Dubnyk IIRC went on an insane tear (including a bunch of shutouts) after being dealt and kept the wild in the race. but im weary on giving money to guys with small sample sizes of success

 

[frink85]

wow did not know that NHL buyouts are not mutually agreed to. crazy. at least they getting paid,doe

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

Now that Boston has Jones, what happens to Tuuk? Is he staying, or nah?

 

[DeadsetAce]

Now that Boston has Jones, what happens to Tuuk? Is he staying, or nah?

staying for now. jones is the reliable back up we need so rask doesn't have to play 70 games in the regular season

i've been saying it for a while now though, i am SO DOWN to trade rask. GREAT goalie but that cap hit is just absolutely handcuffing. and we can actually get a young talent in return for him.

Malcolm Subban

 

[DeadsetAce]

Malcolm Subban

interested to see if he'll take a step or two this year. he got his shot last year and fell on his face (whether or not you think it was a legit shot is another debate ). wouldn't mind seeing us trade tuukka if malcolm shows he can be a solid timeshare with jones.

 

[sosly]

I would love for CGY to trade for Tuuka. But cap is gonna be tight with the young core getting new contracts soon, and Giordano.

I also wanna see Markstrom play for the Canucks. I mean he has to now right? With Lack gone and all

 

[Bad Religion]

Naw, we'll trade for another goalie. The summer is still young, and it's not right to go into the season with your goaltending tandem set.

Right? 

Seriously though, he should be up this year. 

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

We terminated Richie's contract......what happened......

This can't really happen w/o a breach of contract right? Guise?

 

[sosly]

^- wat did he do?

“The Los Angeles Kings today have exercised the team's right to terminate the contract of Mike Richards for a material breach of the requirements of his Standard Player's Contract. We are not prepared to provide any more detail or to discuss the underlying grounds for the contract termination at this time.”

damn, got him for underachieving? Should have that clause for all players in all sports
