2024 2025 Around the League Part 2

Would love to watch the Leafs get bullied by the Sens but watching them get super bullied by Florida is always good too

It’s usually the other way around with some spotty keeping from the Sens

Panthers can't stop losing

Crazy to think about it now.

I would understand if he was betting against his team or throwing games but a few bets …

He bet on his own team lmao

Ovi is the Pete Rose of hockey. Great sporting achievements but for people with a moral compass both are unsuitable candidates for hero worship.

Here's the thing. They are all human beings and not one of us has ever been a suitable candidate for any kind of worship.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Like to throw games or bet on them to win? Because one is badass the other is unforgivable

 

[flyfysher]

The sport would be completely different if the point was to have good moral bearings. Not so sure I'd be watching that to be honest.

Me too. But I’m like ‘oh good for him as a player but this certainly isn’t the kind of person that I’d want to hang out with.’ Two entirely separate concepts. I will say that when he got the record, my first thought was ‘isn’t that the mother****** who supports Putin?’.

He claimed he only ever bet on his teams to win.

That said, he was a notorious liar so who knows if he ever bet against his teams.

I try to cut people some slack based on where they were born and raised as that will surely completely shape their world view. Do you realize how many people are never able to overcome the that? It's why you see mostly southern baptists born in the south, and very few buddhists are born in Mississippi. We're all victims of circumstance to a certain point.

Note, I'm not a fan of Russia geopolitically, and have not been my entire life. In fact my entire life has been a cold war with that nation, one in which I even volutneered to be a pawn. That being said, I am more than happy to cheer his accomplishments on the rink and have the Rocket renamed the Ovechkin as they continue trophy renames with more mordern legends. Guys a f'in unit on ice and that has been great for the game.

Hope I didn't cross the no-politics line too far, wasn't my intention but... i am a habitual line stepper. Stepping back now.

Marchand doesn’t look to be a good fit so far on the Panthers. Just one assist in 5 games

I was just thinking of your post when I got your reply. I wholeheartedly agree. We are ALL human and therefore flawed (including ourselves). So I’m like stay the **** away. I got enough problems dealing with my own flaws to have to put up with yours (figuratively not you literally) too. LOL.

 

[Bone Breaker]

couldnt witness history being written live because I was at work and this game was early af.

well, at least it freaking happened. pretty crazy to read now the threads from off season when most were doubting he would break within this season. now I hope we can see him break 900. and I wouldnt doubt him reaching 950 even.

also, the video of him reuniting with Backstrom in the locker room got me.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Every year the American teams visit the White House this should end the debate but it won’t becuase some lives don’t matter.

I tried to avoid the talk but I can’t help myself

Oh please

I don't know.... the anarchist in me can't help but love that the NHL leading goal-scorer is a Russian, who is also Captain of the Washington Capitals and the team is sponsored by Tik Tok. There is just something so deliciously, deviously, sublime about the whole thing....

It's a hilarious combo no doubt lol

Please don't call yourself that, when you don't actually mean to. And you don't want to.

He is not the same anymore. Lost a step.

 

[Balthazar]

He is not the same anymore. Lost a step.

Several steps

 

[dahrougem2]

Several steps

It was very evident during the 4 Nations tourney that he did not belong. He could not keep up.

I have a feeling if he keeps playing he is going to morph into a 25-30 point 4th liner very soon, potentially as soon as next season while some dumb team pays him 6M+ annually. His next contract could look worse than Stamkos'.

Great defense by Quinn Hughes on the last minute goal to end his team’s season

Get f***ed losers

4 Canucks visible on the replay. Not one takes away the guy in front of the net. All around strange play.

 

[Alienblood]

I love twitter but it’s pretty crap now. Much like these boards. Everything is worse and costs more lol

Anyway the crowd is jumping for ovy. Not quite a home game but close

never used that garb

 

[a mangy Meowth]

never used that garb

You've never clicked on a video posted here from twitter?
