2024-2025 Around The League Part 2

[Foppa2118]

‘22 team had guys you simply didn’t want to get going.

Landeskog. EJ. Kadri.

All capable of cracking your skull in if they wanted to.

Plus Manson and MacDermid. That team had everything.

Manson might be the scariest. He genuinely wants to hurt people he fights.

How did the Kraken beat us in the playoffs? They’re so bad

 

[Foppa2118]

How did the Kraken beat us in the playoffs? They’re so bad

Injuries and Val leaving. Plus they had that cinderella hype motivation to get the max out of everyone with their first Cup run.

Teams can never sustain that though. Falling back to earth was inevitable for them. Avs were always the better team.

Yeah, watching them now, they look so bad that you can’t even believe they made the playoffs that year. It was really a Cinderella story

 

[Foppa2118]

Whoooooops!

I can really see those Chris Pronger comparisons.

 

[Pokecheque]

How did the Kraken beat us in the playoffs? They’re so bad

One fluke year where everything they threw at the net went in. And the Avs quite frankly didn’t try to contend in 2022-23.

 

[Avs44]

f*** him if never thought Crosby was being traded and it was just hype for this BS.

He intentionally piggybacked off the timing of the Mikko trade to imply Crosby might be coming to the Avs.

Yep. What a pathetic reporter.

Brother, the Avs 2nd line that round was Nieto - Compher - Rodrigues, and Lars Eller was routinely the extra attacker late in games lmao.

There's a very good reason why we lost to Seattle.

He knows how to play the clickbait game, which is sadly what reporting has generally deteriorated into. This isn't the first time he's pulled this stunt, either. Just another dime-a-dozen attention whore.

Yeah, and it also adds up to what former teammates have said about him wanting attention.

Oh…forgot to add one more important ingredient:

Georgiev.

He made Grubauer look GOOD in the postseason.

 

[HockeyFan100]

How did the Kraken beat us in the playoffs? They’re so bad

Avs had their C team playing with all the injuries. Pretty sure all goals in that series were all scored or assisted by Mackinnon, Rantanen, Makar and Toews. That's it. Oh, and the bottom 6 had zero goals

 

[Tralfamadore]

Vancouver winning some games again. If the Flames and Canucks manage to win those games in hands things are going to get spicy down the stretch for the Avs.

 

[Alienblood]

Quinn Hughes is going to win the Norris and the Hart.

nah Avs are passing the Wild soon and catching Dallas as well soon enough

 

[RECKLESS]

nah Avs are passing the Wild soon and catching Dallas as well soon enough

Firm believer of this. I think we can climb to 2nd place in division. We have a newly shaken deeper roster that can hopefully honeymoon themselves to a roll here.

 

[Gumballhead]

Lol Kadri beat the ever living f*** out of Lindgren

That was so good, you never see someone have to pay for their actions that quickly. That’s the Naz highlight I remember most.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

If Kaprizov undergoes surgery, league sources say he could miss around six weeks.

I'd like that but at this time nothing really indicating that will happen.

Edit: well I just saw the news about Kiril. I guess that might be a good reason to bet on the Avs passing the Wild.

 

[EdAVSfan]

Yeah, a month is about 8 games missed or so. If it’s 6 weeks, he’s looking at another 5-ish missed games.

 

[CobraAcesS]

Why do I feel like this is not the best time for that? They must need the money.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

lol

 

[Ceremony]

The Canucks board is revolting.

Oh and they're not taking this news well either.

It's true, we're really upset especially since we believed we had a stanley cup contending team. Even though we love analytics but ignore that we had an insanely high PDO last year, somehow made our shittier defense even worse in the offseason, and we got lucky and got to face a fluky Preds team in the first round that had no business being in the playoffs.
