2024 2025 Around the League Part 2

[Pokecheque]

Now that he's not the Wylde coach I can say without fear of too much backlash that I really like Dean Evason, and that he should win the Adams. It'll likely be Carbery but Evason has dealt with so much more and had far less talent and reliable goaltending at his disposal.

 

[Balthazar]

Evason is so unlikeable (looks pissed off all the time) that he's likeable. That doesn't make sense but it's what it is. I also think he's a good coach.

That's funny, because by all accounts he's a pretty good guy, but yeah he continually looks like he wants to kill someone standing behind the bench.

Evason looks like a German Panzer commander.

With IBS.

The Stars are on a 7 game winning streak, yet have been out-shot in all 7 games

29-27 NSH
36-31 SEA
36-21 SEA
48-19 CGY
44-24 EDM
32-29 MIN
24-19 PHI

They don't scare me. Hopefully they don't overtake WIN.

I believe a huge issue is their inability to move pucks from their own zone cleanly. Pressure their D and it's 3/4 of the game spent in their zone.

Ovi should break the record tonight. Caps playing the Hawks at home. 3 goals away, hope he does it

 

[Pokecheque]

I don't think the Sabres are by any means close but it's amazing that they actually have one of the leading offenses in hockey, it's like fifth in the league or something. The reason they're in the dumper is because their defense and goaltending suck donkey balls. So why Adams dealt away their 2nd-best center for a massively injury-prone replacement and did absolutely nothing with the defense, I have no idea.

I think it's safe to say as well that UPL ain't the answer either. No idea on Levi, his AHL numbers look good so there's hope there at least.

The correct term is ornithological nightmare.

Someone should check this guy’s garage. There might be hidden bodies inside the walls or secret underground compartments

Yeah he's the older, cheaper version of Robert Shaw

Which one? Michael Whittmann?

I can't remember where I saw it for the life of me, maybe it was on the main board... but someone had a side by side picture of Evason and a hawk. Something about Dave's nose just nails those comparisons.

The only "race" left in the west for the playoffs to make it is an outside chance Calgary has to overtake Minnesota.

Flames are 5 points back, have a game in hand and have one game remaining against the Wild on home ice.

Win those and they still are 1 point back so they need help for sure. That is the only race left, though.

I honestly think Calgary would give Winnipeg/Dallas a more difficult time than Minnesota. Calgary is a physical team, they've got some grizzled playoff vets and a goalie capable of getting very hot to steal games. Would love a Jets/Flames 1st round matchup.

Flames are done

Edit: Actually I was looking at the wrong schedule, they have Anaheim.and the Sharks twice plus play the Flames so they are definitely not

My God. "Battle of the Bulge" Robert Shaw is what I had in my head - couldn't place it. Nice pull.

Terence Stamp... KNEEEEEL, BEFORE ZOD!

 

[BobRossColton]

I'm torn I want Ovi to get a hat trick tonight on home ice, but I'm facing Ovi in fantasy.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Ovi should break the record tonight. Caps playing the Hawks at home. 3 goals away, hope he does it

2 goals away

 

[the_fan]

2 more Ovi. Let’s f***en go!!! He’s gonna do it tonight

 

[LOFIN]

Glad he's able to do it this season, because the discussion will die over quickly when the playoffs begin. Thank God this stuff won't drag over the summer.

Joe Veleno with just a despicable flop. Kid should be ashamed.

Flames vs. Flames should be a crazy game.
