2022-2023 Around the League Part Deux

Yyyyyeeeeeaaaaaahhhhh...no. His term in player ops make Sarros look like Solomon.

He's a born media whore.

I wouldn’t want him there handing out player discipline (though I don’t think he’d kowtow like Parros obviously has) I’d want him there making the lives of Bettman, Daly, and Campbell a living hell and maybe make some real cultural change. But that would never happen.

But yeah, he probably will end up on TV again and that’s fine.

I’d love for him to be running another rival into the ground, but his teams can get assaulty.

WTF is going on here? NYPD vs FDNY. Quite a rivalry

 

[JWK]

Not surprising, only time a cop wins a fight is if it's against their spouses.

NYPD need to learn how to fight. Holy shit all of their players got rolled. The first one was pretty cheap though.

Funny on that note, not only were the Pens old AF, they were also one of the smallest teams in the league. Of course that didn’t stop Old Man Carter from concussing Makar.

You mean the fight where two NYPD players were going after one player?

 

[Sea Eagles]

I'm not sure where to place this, but here is as good as any....

I'm pretty sure I made a bet with someone about AVS sky rocketing up the standings after the break this season. I'm hoping someone (anyone may remember). The reason I ask, is if I didn't win, I want to make sure I'm paying up. That said, we finished 7th overall (despite the injuries), and came home like a dead set hotrod.

Hoping someone may remember.

Ha. That's true. It was dirty on both ends. I just didn't like the punches on the ice.

WTF is that freak show?

I didn't know there was a police hockey tournament that registered on the radar.

I know this was briefly discussed but I finally saw an American post about Lauri Markkanen's military service and read some comments. Just so we're clear, Mikko Rantanen won't have to "stay safe". He'll just have to stay at an island in Helsinki. He's not going to Afghanistan.

Epic comment

Let the mind games begin.

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

This is just the billionaire corporation deciding who wins and who does not.

[Avs_19]

Maloney is still around and back in a position of power? Holy ****. He was a GM like 15-20 years ago, I think.

Free Kadri.

 

[Muffin]

Remember when some of you were upset we missed out on him in UFA? Now Andersen is not even the starter going into the playoffs.

I don't think it was so much Anderson they were upset about as it was what Sakic paid for Kuemper. As bad as Kuemper was last postseason the Avs probably still would have won the cup with Anderson AND kept their first rounder and Timmins.

This exactly, but then again the first + Timmins was worth the price because the Blues and Bolts lost to a half-blind goaltender. And the Oilers lost to a career backup. Imagine being one of those franchises. Never let them forget.

Considering Andersen is more injury-prone than any Av, that cup would most likely have had to be won by Francouz. And considering his injury-history, the cup would have had to be won on Johansson/Annunen's back. And a one-eyed Kuemper blows those guys out of the water.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Tbf the Canes starter should probably be Kochetkov over both of those guys.

 

[thedoctor]

one Elias Lindholm please

(in all seriousness, Backlund retained might be the actual best realistic target for next year's 2C)

 

[Azrael89]

I'm watching Quest for the Stanley Cup on ESPN+, and it's at a part where Huberdeau is enjoying his life in Florida, I almost feel bad for the poor bastard. Lol
