2024 2025 Around the League Part 2

It's like he gets angrier with each subsequent job. He's going to be the friggin' Hulk next year if he gets a gig.

I actually think this is the end of the road for Torts, he was the oldest NHL head coach at the time of his firing.

I really think he'd make a great studio analyst though. Imagine him and Biznasty going at it during intermissions.

We'll see. Sometimes the insights are good, but if he's gonna be bitching and moaning about Michigan goals and what not, I think I just want him to go away and focus on dog rescue.

He does do that, too.

It could be that he just gets along well with animals better than people. I know a lot of folks like that, myself included.

Oh that's definitely me, I can relate to Torts there. Still pining for the day we finally get a dog back in the house. Haven't had one of our own since 2022.

I don't know about angrier but somehow he has even less patience with everyone: players, media and probably his boss too.

It’s crazy the Oilers traded young, big, physical players that can skate. They went from having great depth to old, useless sacks of shit throughout the lineup.

F Dylan Holloway(STL): 6’1”, 206 lbs, 23 years old, 157 hits, 62 points this season

F Ryan McLeod(BUF): 6’3”, 25 years old, 43 points this season

F Warren Foegele(LAK): 6’2”, 205 lbs, 28 years old, 41 points this season

D Philip Broberg(STL): 6’4”, 212 lbs, 23 years old, 20:23 ATOI, 27 points this season

The return?

5’9” Savoie playing in the AHL + 2nd + 3rd round picks.

Absolutely brutal. I would be so mad as an Oilers fan.

Amen.

Not just that, they prioritized signing older/ smaller players like Henrique, Arvidsson, and Perry over their younger, faster players.

IIRC Holloway is 2 points away from scoring more than Arvidsson, Henrique, and Skinner combined this year.

Jeff Skinner looks cooked. I thought he was a good signing, I'm glad he didn't come here.

Analytically he has been really good. Production does not match but he has been jerked around by coaching staff all year. 3rd/4th line minutes and healthy scratches galore.

He won't go back to Edmonton next season.

I still remember getting a little grumpy we didn't target Henrique last season. Glad we stayed away. He wasn't the answer

Yeah, but you’re an Avs fan so your proper reaction to the Oilers woes is SCHADENFREUDE!

Oilers going from those good young players to older and less productive Skinner and Arvidsson was truly a masterful job by their GM

Some of my favorite off season moves in Avs history! Oilers fans were so sure they would automatically be back in the finals but then slowly painfully started losing hope

I guess installing McDavid’s former agent to run the team wasn’t a great idea after all.

 

[Metallo]

Watching MTL-CAR on TSN and they are saying that Newhook back at center has been good and that he would make a good 3C next year.

I thought it was brilliant

What is this 6-6

[Metallo]

Watching VAN-CBJ and the number of picks in OT by the Nucks is crazy. Counted 3 and one gave them a golden chance. There was even a goalie interference uncalled on the Nucks.

 

[Balthazar]

Montreal choking away their playoff spot with five consecutive losses.

Since everyone is losing CBJ still have a good chance to make it after that huge debacle, believe it or not.

 

[Hennessy]

Vancouver makes Ottawa look excellent.
