@AnthonyCumia Btw: when did Cory Feldman start reporting in Texas?

[B.D. Gallof @BDGallof]

@AnthonyCumia NY Post soap boxing it seems more positional framing to hype “outrage” than describe actual “outrage”. Do a search on Google of “gotilla in the room texas reporter” and you get the usual suspects instead of an across the board story.

@PaulProvenza The Green Room doesn’t get enough credit. What a great series that captured the state of comedy and really also reflected state of nation in 2010-11. Always loved them but deep dived season 2 while at work today. Kudos

[B.D. Gallof @BDGallof]

@MickWest Sadly, in an atmosphere of propaganda this sort of nonsense spouted from Grusch and others is just a machine churning now.

[B.D. Gallof @BDGallof]

(Looks at Schenn deal)… I’m so glad I don’t cover the #isles these days. Yuck!

[B.D. Gallof @BDGallof]

You got any of those #isles trades???

[B.D. Gallof @BDGallof]

@AnthonyCumia But you would probably be still be up. ;)

Re: Tysplakov, we know there's talent there, and it may sting if shows up in NJ or wherever else, but what we knew for certain was it wasn't happening this season, on this team, with this coach #Isles

[B.D. Gallof @BDGallof]

@LighthouseNYI Bc that's what we do best ;)

[B.D. Gallof @BDGallof]

@IslesFix Also have to add playoff exp and lockerroom presence as a value that Darche is also using.

[PuckPedia @PuckPedia]

A buyout for Palat in the summer carries a cap hit of $2.7M in year 1 and $1.65M in year 2.

Pretty impressive swing by Mathieu Darche in 24 hrs trading with his two crosstown rivals.

Essentially gets Soucy, Palat and a 6th round pick for Tsyplakov - while also potentially improving his pick position in 2026 3rd round.

Leveraging cap space to improve. 📈

@SME1715 @SmithsNYI More of a Meme, really

[B.D. Gallof @BDGallof]

Note on #isles two moves: Got love when people freak out bc they think it's their money. Two moves to help the team defensively and to achieve playoff placement. Replace the 3rd pick from Soucy trade. Pressboxkov is gone. Take the fucking win.

[Justin Bourne @jtbourne]

Isles picked a kid out of Russia at the cost of zero assets. Turned that into a third, a sixth, and 1.3 seasons of Palat, an experienced playoff pro who'll give you more than Tsyplakov in the short term. East is wide open man. Works for NJD too. Good stuff.

[B.D. Gallof @BDGallof]

@SME1715 @SmithsNYI Not to mention got Maxim Pressboxkov out.

[B.D. Gallof @BDGallof]

@Jeanie_80749 @stefen_rosner View 6 mill vs replacement player... That's true extra cost

[B.D. Gallof @BDGallof]

@philzfactz Did you look up Soucy via def zone entries vs him last couple yrs or are you just looking just at NYR car wreck season stats? Looked like specific items pinpointed to me

[B.D. Gallof @BDGallof]

Sidenote Observation: And Roy can deny analytics all he wants. His GM sure doesn't. Coach and GM get analytical reports after every game and overall tracking. #isles

[B.D. Gallof @BDGallof]

@Jeanie_80749 Believe Darche thinks he can get more. And the playoff exp/locker-room presence prob has some value in his mind, as well
