Neutral Zone Checks

@Xristine77 @MP454545 @MatrixMysteries Simple answer, no, they don't. Because sensationalism and rage bait is what generates clicks.

@MP454545 @MatrixMysteries research Charleigh Pollock Batten disease funding restored. It was all over the news last July. do your own homework, dude!

A mother in Canada breaks down in tears. The government has denied her daughter’s life-saving medicine. “Tomorrow is her final infusion.” She has Batten disease. Without treatment, it’s a death sentence. This is government healthcare in Canada.

@styshowww @Velvet_Calamity @nhltraderumours In other news, grapes are sour in Toronto.

@NeutralZoneChek @Velvet_Calamity @nhltraderumours We couldn’t wait to get rid of him lmao, oilers need McDavid but he doesn’t need them

Rumors are swirling after a disastrous season for the #LeafsForever. But with a full NMC, Matthews holds the cards. The real secret? Toronto is clearing cap space for a $20M AAV run at Connor McDavid next summer. A Matthews/McDavid 1-2 punch 👇 nhltraderumor.com/auston-matthew…

@Oceanbreeze473 Explain how MPs make it the Parliament without being elected.

An unelected majority is called a dictatorship.

@z9p7tpnhy8 @Isuckatpicking Just for the sake of it, take a look at the defensive metrics for the other three compared to Bouchard. You might be surprised. What you're saying shows that you only watch the highlights package at the end of the night.

@Isuckatpicking Looks good to me. Bouchard is a great offence, but really shitty defensively compared to the other 3. Hence the name defenceman! The Norris goes to the one best well rounded.

Voting like this explains why Donald Trump is President.

@MackForHart Have there been other defensemen who had a better season than him this year? Yes!The Norris should deservedly should go to one of them. Makar is still a generational defenseman. That doesn't change even if he doesn't win the Norris this year.

He probably wont win the Norris but hes 100% the best defenseman in the league and arguably of all time.

@styshowww @Velvet_Calamity @nhltraderumours Says the fan of the team that Marner couldn't wait to get out of.

@NeutralZoneChek @Velvet_Calamity @nhltraderumours McDavid didn’t even wanna sign long term to the oilosers🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 gave them 2 years out of pity

@MarcelAndRogie @hogamadog Evenly matched if the Oilers are missing Draisaitl and Hyman.

@hogamadog It will probably happen regardless. They hate each other and are actually evenly matched. It would be a good series regardless of what people say.

So the ideal situation is Ducks & Kings win. Edmonton loses. #GoKingsGo

@styshowww @Velvet_Calamity @nhltraderumours What exactly have the Leafs shown over the last however long to make McDavid want to go to them? What have they done for Matthews, Marner and co? Sit this one out.

@Velvet_Calamity @nhltraderumours What have the oilers given to him🤣🤣🤣🤣 he’s gotten absolutely nothing from you guys, lucky he’s stayed this long

@themastericeman @KevinMcCurdy @KGYEG I can see him starting a podcast. Or being a recurring guest in one.

@KevinMcCurdy @KGYEG Does he retire into a broadcasting role?

Who signs him this summer? Anyone?

@50in39 @joelthesakic Bingo! This could've been downgraded to a minor, but the major is fair. This argument of, he had his skates pointed up ice is just a bogus argument. A failed stick lift could clip a guy in the face and get you a double minor, intent is irrelevant.

@joelthesakic @NeutralZoneChek MacKinnon was going through the crease no matter what Nurse did. Can’t go into the crease. Nurse didn’t make MacKinnon go there with that much speed. I feel 2, but can totally see where 5 was called.

@RycroftMark Is Nurse not allowed to play the puck? Which he actually did. Or is he supposed to just let MaK go uncontested? Collision with Nurse took out any possibility of MaK avoiding the goalie. But he was set to go through the blue paint well before contact with Nurse.

Nate would not make contact with Ingram if Nurse does not drop the shoulder into Nates hip on the way thru. Mackinnon’s feet aren’t even on the ice as Nurse blew him off his feet. Mackinnon was on a trajectory to miss Ingram by a few inches. Am I missing something out there???

@thatssoleafy77 @TSNRyanRishaug @TheFourthPeriod Pay cut doesn't kick in until next year. This deadline was not the one for big game hunting. Any significant adds will have to wait till the off-season. Much more cap space to play with.

@TSNRyanRishaug @TheFourthPeriod McDavid takes a massive pay cut and they proceed to use it for Jarry, Dickinson, and Murphy Oilers don’t deserve McDavid

“I would imagine we’re done” Bowman today, adding that they’ll keep an eye on things but any additions will be minor.

@NHL_Sid @KevinMcCurdy What I'm about to say is not based on any analytics or data. So feel free to rebut. Does this decline in production from the wingers come down to them not being a good fit on the top 2 lines, then relegation to the B6, a role they aren't exactly built to play?

@KevinMcCurdy That being said, there was significant evidence and data to suggest that each of the Skinner, Arvidsson and Mangiapane signings were good bets at the time. The fact that they've essentially gone 0/3 makes it hard to not point fingers at the coaching here.

Not gonna lie though, any "show me" deal that we gotta spend a first to get out of wasn't a contract we should have signed in the first place. Someone take Stan and JJs phones away on July 1st.

@NHLRumourReport BREAKING: Trades that may have been discussed before the Olympics roster freeze may or may not be finalized in the days leading up to the trade deadline.

Darren Dreger: I don't have this rock solid, but there is a sense that maybe there are deals that were more or less agreed to, not finalized but agreed to in terms of the level of negotiating, prior to the start of the Olympic roster freeze - First Up (2/20)

@2MuttsHockeyPod @DarrenDreger So how things in the real world work is to throw up a word salad that says absolutely nothing and act like it's an update?

Last we checked @DarrenDreger is one of the most connected Hockey Insiders in the game. It’s always interesting when people try to take shots at Dreger. They just have no clue in the world how things work.

@TemLassila You should have a problem if the ref had his arm up at the same time as the stick hits 29's face. Because that would mean that the ref had called a penalty before it even happened.

Whether it’s a penalty or not, the refs arm did not go up until Mackinnon embellished it. It should have been 4 on 4.

Oh my my O Canada! Czechia made that more interesting than it needed to be. #Olympics2026

@ryangerritsen Did you have the same issue when PP was flying around the country, campaigning, even before the election was called, all on the taxpayer's dime? Or is this selective outrage?

When I fly with my family I say no to the inflight food & happily eat my free pack of pretzels, when Carney fly’s with his family he soaks Canadians for inflight food at the tune of $94,000 without hesitation. That alone should tell Canadians what type of elitist douche the guy is.

@All_Right_Now2 @GadSaad Any reasonable person would be in favor of stricter immigration policies considering the mistakes of the past. That being said, you try to threaten a naturalized citizen, just because you can't stand to see non-whites in society, you won't know what hit ya!

@GadSaad It's time to start sending them back. Regardless of whether they've been given full citizenship.

Yes. I warned you for decades but you scoffed…
