If you look at the automated transcripts of 32T (and why wouldn’t you?), it normally mangles most names but it absolutely nails Friedman’s usual attempt to say Zibanejad

Rangers postgame, Zabinajad said, hey, was asked, any good news about the fact that after scoring one game at home, you've now got five in this one?
He's like, who cares? We lost.

I unreservedly retract this. It’s clearly on every ten seconds not twenty.

I’ve resisted becoming a degenerate gambler all this time but seeing whatever the hell that Gordon Ramsay ad is every twenty seconds has converted me

“The Warsofsky and Sullivan families are tremendously close, Dave.”

“Do not care at all, Kenny.”

Your spreadsheets might say that the Rangers’ poor shooting luck would regress to the mean and it’s the competent defensive play that was sustainable but…nope

It’s waaay too early to publish The Athletic Trade Deadline Big Board (that will happen on The Athletic Trade Deadline Big Board Day in two days’ time) but for now here’s The Athletic Trade Deadline Smaller Big Board

While it's still early to roll out a full-blown Big Board, it's not too soon to start identifying some of the names that could play a role in the upcoming trading season.

Hearing I thought the Marchand tribute was terrific and his interview was hilarious and terrific

LW3H @lw3h.bsky.social · 3d

Not saying it isn’t newsworthy at all but national hockey media going way overboard on the coverage of Marchand returning to Boston - a mostly narrow local piece of interest - because they find everything he does hilarious

Hearing these Nordiques uniforms are terrific, much like these Whalers uniforms are terrific, remind me of those terrific uniforms in Quebec and Hartford

Learning how to get shut out three straight times then score precisely once early in the next game before losing again from the all-time masters of the art

“The legendary Patrick family, Dave. Any adjective you would use to describe them?”

“Gotta think not, Kenny.”

And if the answer is only no after the league and PA have to discuss it, you better ask about everything.

I’m sure the Panthers asking in a few months whether the new LTIR rules are *really* the new LTIR rules will go down a storm with everyone.

LW3H @lw3h.bsky.social · 4d

Guess you can't blame a team for asking but it says a lot about the NHL that "You know this rule, right? Can you let us, like, not follow the rule?" has any sort of legs as a legitimate inquiry

iMac reports Patrik Allvin asked the league for an exemption to the new AHL transaction rule on the Mancini move -- he has to stay in the minors for at least one game before being called back -- but the NHL and the PA met, then turned down the request

Not solely related to the Blue Jays by any means, but I do enjoy the phenomenon of beat/national reporter who is overtly a fan of local NFL/MLB/NBA team but is very much simply a reporter not a fan of NHL team in same city, how dare you suggest that

My annual plea for somebody in North America to do no more than 30 seconds of research into how much of a hockey presence there is and has been in London compared to other parts of the UK
