@@JaValeJustin funny how things work. If he just quit SDPN one day I wouldn't miss him at all. He's by far my least favourite host. I can take Adam in very small doses.
The origin of the "Triangle" term is from the Research Triangle Park created in 1959. That "research triangle" referred to the three schools: Duke, UNC Chapel Hill and NC State. These schools just happen to be in Durham, Chapel Hill and Raleigh respectively.
LOLS, the same night that Jesse is on with Pierre McQuire and you have your "we've made it" moment, Adam takes his sock off and shows his foot for gripper nation. :)
The Triangle is the metro area that makes up Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill (NC State, Duke, UNC are “triangle” universities for that reason. In the middle of the triangle is RTP, Research Triangle Park which is the epicenter of technology on the east coast (often referred to as the Silicon Valley of the East) so it’s a commonly used term for the area, not just locally. He was just saying how much he liked his time living in the area.
People in Edmonton suspect that McDavid has been dealing with a wrist issue all season long, hence him doing by assists this season as opposed to goal scoring last year. When you watch his shot and compare it to his shot from last year, there just isn't the 'zip' it had.
This channel and JM are my podcast homes. Love the sports talk but also love the comedy and friendship they have together! Steve with the S&M humor was pretty good
Hyman has 12 goals in 2024 playoffs. Don't be surprised if he scores more than entire leafs team before it's over. He makes $5.5 million a year. Half of what JT makes but with double the effort!
The stream last night was so much fun! I’ve only watched hockey passionately since the 21-22 playoffs. And I have only gotten more passionate about it from that point on, mostly because of you guys. Thank you for all you guys do - spreading love for hockey across the continent!! I don’t start residency until late June so I plan to be watching every game and joining every live stream from here on out. And I am glad I was there to witness such an iconic moment in SDPN history.
My issue with the reffing in game is is that the penalties were 5-1 on the oilers and the 1 penalty on Dallas was a bench minor. I refuse to belive that team played infraction free hockey for 4 periods
Its named the Research Triangle Park because the area is between 3 major cities in NC. Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill. Lots of tech companies and where NC State, Duke, and UNC are.
From a Habs fan perspective, Domi when he is on his game 5.5 could be fair but with us he was streaky as hell, considering he is 29 so will get the injury and age bug in the upcoming seasons anything above 3.5 mill will age poorly for a long term deal
First team Matthews' scored on: Game 1 vs Montreal (Matthews had a hat trick) Second team Matthews' scored on: Game 2 vs Minnesota (Matthews had a hat trick) Third team Matthews' scored on: Game 6 vs Washington (Matthews had 1G, 1A) Game 3, Leafs lose 4-1 to Chicago. Game 4 Leafs lose in Florida 3-1. Game 5 Leafs win vs Tampa 4-3 in OT.
1:08:00 Also Rod is an ex NHLer so he doesn't necessarily NEED the money compared to a Sheldon Keefe for example who played in the NHL but not long kind of thing. I think that's probably a reason why Rod's fine with leaving money on the table. He simply doesnt need it.
The triangle in North Carolina refers to the three major universities in North Carolina: UNC, Duke University, NC State make a triangle shape that covers the entire middle of the state.
The Research Triangle, or simply The Triangle, are both common nicknames for a metropolitan area in the Piedmont region of the U.S. state of North Carolina.
So it’s called the Triangle because of the 3 close proximity towns/cities of Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill (Durham contains Duke University and Chapel Hill contains UNC) which form (roughly) a triangle
Not sure if the SDP people read this but I donated those subs in Steve’s stream in SPITE of gripper nation. Not because of it. Not yucking anyones yum but I don’t want the sdp to become that.
I'd rather have Marner at 11M than both Domi and Bertuzzi at 5.5 any day of the week; he scores at a higher rate than the pair of them combined and actually plays defense unlike either of them. I wouldn't go any higher than 4 M for Domi.
As a Sharks fan, let me tell you why I highly doubt that the Sharks are in any way considering going for Draisaitl: they literally JUST blew up the core and fully committed to a full rebuild, and are still facing a couple more years of paying out the end of stupidly large contracts (thanks to Doug Wilson for handing out 8x8s like candy). This would be the dumbest possible time to take on another stupidly large contract, which is what we would have to offer Draisaitl to bring him in, especially since it's probably going to be another five years until the Sharks are back to being real Cup contenders. This is the time for them to nurture new talent, not to pay out the nose for one big-name star who, talented as he is, cannot carry an entire team to success.
Assuming the blackhawks/islanders trade is exclusively for the draft and not for a trade (lets be honest its almost definitely a trade), It could be that the Blackhawks plan on taking Levshunov, a defenseman, with the 2nd overall pick, and the 18th to take a winger of a higher tier. Looking at most mock boards, there's a pretty clear gap between the top defensemen and the rest, most of which are slated to be gone by pick 12, while there is considered to be a pretty solid group of forwards in the middle of the first round. Connelly, Brandsegg-Nygard, Sennecke, Hage, Boisvert, Greentree, there might even be a chance someone like Eiserman or Catton really falls (although unlikely). In terms of defenseman, after the Dickinson, Parekh, Buium tier, the next projected defensemen are guys like Jiricek and Kiviharju which seem to be pretty widely considered a tier down even from those forwards. Could be Chicago just trying to get a better chance at drafting a quality forward with the defenseman they take at 2nd. given the timing of it, i suspect its far more likely to be for a trade. I know the canadiens are looking to move up from 26th but idk what else they could include to do that. I know some teams higher like the Devils Sabres and Kraken are open to moving down for a piece that helps them now, so maybe they're looking at shortening how far those teams would have to move down and trying to acquire those (although they have next to no quality roster players so idk how they would manage that)
Regarding the Hawks desire to move up two spots I speculate that the Hawks may have received Intel that the Golden Knights, owners of the 19th pick where going to take their desired pick?
except often people in one teams top18 dont actually all go in the top18, typically (and by typically i mean EVERY draft) there is significant movement both up and down as teams value diff players, ESPECIALLY after the top 5-10. its a horrendous trade from chicago.
I think oilers fans were complaining about NO calls going against Dallas. Missed calls happen but None of the calls happened. The talked and reviewed and still didn't see Duchesne holding the stick. Should've been 2 min 4 on 4 and a 2 min man advantage. Bouchard 2 min for slashing the hands called by the trailing ref, Replay shows the stick never even came above the knees it waa a shin level attempt at a stick check. 12 min of penalties nothing for Dallas. Bad calls and missed calls happen but usually when there is a missed or bad call there is a make up call.
Sometimes a better team is going to blow game one because they sat around longer waiting for the other team to finally win their series, so they take longer to get going.
TBH I would love for a HC to hear guys like Messier and Gretzky are saying "Put this guy in" and just go "Shut up both of u. U played in an era where goalies weren't allowed to leave their feet. Plus Messier u've never been a coach and Grets we all know how that went." Like please just ROAST two of the greatest hockey players.
I would say the blackhawks wanted the higher picks because there's players they think will go around then that they want and the Islanders want the extra pick for trades. That would be my guess.
A few thoughts about the blackhawks trade. It's definitely odd timing, but I'm guessing KD has something else cooking. Perhaps moving up again. While it may be a slight overpay, I don't think it's a wild one. 61 first overall is Nearly the 3rd round. It's not like they gave up 34 overall.
"They showed up, youre misdirecting" says a fan of a team who watched those 2 players score 4 points in 7 games in a series loss. Cant be mad at that apparently
You are high as a kite if you think drai would go to a bottom dweller after spending his entire career dragging a franchise out of poverty and finally have success

Just to let y'all know Carolina is called the triangle due to the three main cities in the area (Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill).
Also called the research triangle for similar reasons.

As a CBJ fan, if Waddell as PHO/GM or even just POHO comes to pass, I'm fken stoked. It'd be the best FO hire McConnell has made in years.
Overpaying for Matthews, Tavares, Marner, Nylander … lowballing for everyone else and the Leafs wonders why they keep lacking “depth”.
Seguin scored both Dallas goals
Who cares about hockey, I'm here for Adam's toes

Tom Grossi: *donate 500 dollars to me on-stream and it certainly can be on RUclips*
1:27:37 Totally with Adam and Steve. Domi can go back to Columbus if he wants a $5.5 mil AAV again.
We had him for 2x5.3 or something like that and it was such an abject disaster they traded him *and* a 6th for like a 7th and a C-level prospect.
As a goalie myself Steve is accurate. If I leave the crease to play the puck I'd better do it right or I just screwed our team.
Does anyone have the link to the Jesse & Pierre video?
“He’s not making them hard enough.
YES STEVE EXACTLY, WE MUST FURTHER HARDEN GRIPPER NATION
The stars have 3 good second lines and a decent forth line, the Oilers have 2 solid first lines, and decent third and forth lines.

From a Habs fan perspective, Domi when he is on his game 5.5 could be fair but with us he was streaky as hell, considering he is 29 so will get the injury and age bug in the upcoming seasons anything above 3.5 mill will age poorly for a long term deal
