2022-2023 Around the League Part Deux

[Reparlana]

I'm excited because I'm going to the game Tuesday night. I hope we get a few of the boys back with both teams having something to play for. Lvgk having a home and away against the kraken isn't going to be a walk in the park to end the year for them.

Pretty sure it’s the worst pick in Avs history, according to AJ he’s the only first rounder in the last 15 years to never get an NHL game. Even at 23rd overall that’s just stunning.

Yeah, well what's weird is how it might have shaped the point of view of the front office. For example, did Jost get a longer leash because he at least showed up in shape, unlike CB?

I think Jost would've gotten a long leash regardless--the draft pedigree, the work ethic both on and off the ice, the character, etc. He was willing to play just about any role to and the Avs tried him literally everywhere in the lineup to try and get him to work.

I don't know if Bleackley's failure had a direct impact but I think it most certainly had an indirect impact, in that the pure scarcity of prime-time prospects in the system due to poor drafting kinda forced them to give him every break imaginable. There just wasn't a fallback option for a while there.

Wild resting their players since they are basically locked into 3rd now.

Lol no they won't because the NHL doesn't care.

I don't believe for one second the NHL or a third party actually vets this stuff.

 

[Ceremony]

I was quite surprised to look at the standings and see we only have one point less than the 2023 Stanley Cup Champion Edmonton Oilers, given how terrible we were for large parts of the season. We've done well to hang in there!

 

[Grigowski]

No one cares. Tampa got away with it and won. There is a good chance Vegas goes far this year too.

This week, I find myself rooting for both Detroit and St. Louis.

Irony is fun sometimes.

 

[dahrougem2]

Omg lol. Though you definitely don't need any advanced stats to realize he is horrific defensively. Just watch him play three shifts during any Sharks game.

 

[JoeSakic13]

2 slots before, the Avs took Conner Bleackley...

MacK refused to let us draft him because pasta has too many carbs.

Watch the full videos and its obvious he isn't ready yet. He doesn't look as bad as Gabe does but no way he's a key part of a playoff hockey team in the next week or two. Like Gabe, maybe by round 2 or 3 you have a top six contributor.

And there are no easy games in the NHL as we saw with the Sharks game and Ducks game. Even if a few stars are rested the rest of the guys out there can win a game.

Smart. The Avs basically did that the final 10 games of the season last season and they came out like a bat out of hell in Game 1 against the Preds.

Yah I think Mark might be close to being done. He does not look good and for a guy who wasnt a great skater to begin with having those surgeries is not ideal I dont think.

Go Wings!!!!

 

[JoeSakic13]

Go Wings!!!!

 

[wayninja]

Thanks Husso

 

[myperbixhurts]

Well Stars just beat the Wings and the game is still in the 1st period. They gonna win out so the Avs just need to keep winning and things

Tim Stutzle is a 1C with the Sens this year.

3rd season in the NHL:

38G 50A 88PTS in 77 games.

He has a legit chance of becoming as good or better than Mackinnon.

 

[AvBuff]

Detroit still hates us.

Not too surprising really. Last year it was clear he was ending the season taking the step to becoming an elite player.

Way to go detoilet

Huge lol at the Vegas fan cope saying wHaT aBoUt LaNdEsKoG

We didn't spend that cap, dipshits.

 

[myperbixhurts]

I can’t believe I said go Wings. Going to church for confession

Honestly i hope Binnington has some insane games so the bLoser cope train leaves the station to the golf green yet again believing he's the right guy for the job and that contract isn't comically bad.
