2024-2025 Around The League Part 2

[expatriatedtexan]

Where is the team that takes risks, and just tries to limit the shots to ones the goalie has a high chance of stopping?

This team has never been one looking to be number one in the NHL defensively.

You have a goalie that thrives on high shot volume but you're still trying to play keep the other team to 15 shots/60 chess.

We're surprised when we get scored on with low shot totals lol. The team opened it up after the goalies were changed out, and wow, we were good for a minute.

Bednar doesn’t take their creativity away, but he plays whoever plays better defensively the most lol.

Hmmmmmmm, say one thing, do another. No one is going to listen to anything you say anymore.

They played like total f***in dog shit against Nashville.

I sincerely hope you aren't suggesting anyone ever did in the first place.

You? You're right more than you're wrong.


Bednar was right once back in 2022 with an elite roster.

Mind repeating that for my wife?

I've been married twice, and am going to try it a third time.

I'd rather live

There was a TV show a decade or so ago called "In Plain Sight" about marshalls working with folks in witness protection program. The two lead marshalls had this thing where they sang a song at eachother whenever one proves the other wrong....



My wife and I do this to each other all the frakin' time.

She sounds worthy of joining the beer club.

She would be...if she wasn't too busy tending the bar.

She knows she gets to sing the song a lot more if she gets me properly lubricated.

Damnit, there's got to be a better way to say that.

Oh you married the bartender? That's like the hardest woman in existence to impress, for most men if you know what I mean lol.

Mine is a proper 34 & 41 relationship. She acts and looks like the Latina Nicki Minaj, but if Nicki was frugal and only bought cheap clothes and fake jewelry.

Sorta... she just made the house feel more like home....

I never could find that beautiful country girl in America. The ones I get dip, have way worse worse teeth than I do, and weigh more than I do at 5'11 while being 5'7..

I don't think I'm quite country enough lol.

I did find a Country Latina queen though. It's like having all of the fun modern craziness except she cooks, cleans, likes family traditions and never has to wear much clothing. Best of both worlds.

My first love was a cajun gal from Baton Rouge. Unfortunately, she was also Catholic and while I managed to cure her of that, I entered the Navy at the same time she entered theoligical seminary. She went protestant and I went nihilst. *LOL* First loves and fiery attitudes...

The only thing better is waking up 20+ years into a committed relationship and realizing you are perfectly happy and really would not want to change a thing. Seriously.... after 20 years, neither my wife nor I would ever want to attempt to train another partner. We're going to make this shit work no matter what. *LOL*

lol San Jose was less than 30 seconds away from a 1-0 shutout victory over the Jets.

Less than 2 minutes later they had lost 2-1 in OT.

I remember the Shark Tank being unbelievably loud on television.

One day, I hope the fans in SJ get a championship. The fact the Sharks stayed so connected in their communitity without winning a championship says a lot about the organization and how they have gone about their business.

The Avs struggle to evoke enough emotion to do anything other than get the drunks still hanging around in the third to sing a Blink182 song.

The Sharks having Seek and Destroy as their song without Lars suing is the deal they made with the devil to never win a chip.

 

[MacKaRtin]

Spencer Carbury has done an incredible job with that roster. You could see it building last season and he's really got all those guys on the same page - working together.

Nobody expected much out of that team and they're tops in the league. Now thats a f***ing coach!!!

Hindsight is 20/20, but I thought at the time that the Leafs should have let Keefe go and promoted Carbery

I happened to live in Western New York when the Sabres were actually good and the Bay Area during the Sharks' decade of almost. Attended playoff games in both places. Buffalo was way louder in my experience as shocking as that might be to believe given the general apathy now

It was probably just the tin foil they used to build the stadium rattling in the wind.

 

[Grigowski]

Leaping Minny should be the goal. Avoiding VGK/EDM/WPG would help.

And then what? Running into Dallas in Round 1.....
