2024/2025 Around the League

Funny, how it can be done in other parts of the world without the team names being cringe. At least over here, kids get interested because they find the sport interesting.

I chose teams because they were good at the time and had cool logos to a five-year-old. The sport I was born into.

I just wonder what he would like to do next. He's kinda in between a studio host and an insider. I don't think TSN has a spot for him, unless they would like to do some changes to the programming and considering how much they've made cuts in the last few years...

If I were to guess, he starts up his own podcast. I just wonder if he's doing it with some existing, non-mainstream media like SDPN, Daily Faceoff or something...

Daily Faceoffs is owned by Playmaker, it's a huge worldwide network with a lot of money. The largest Canadian independent network is probably the Sick Podcast. They cover a lot of cities/sports.

I could see him join one or the other.

Now this is an offseason thread!

Drew Doughty, Quinn Hughes, Miro Heiskanen or Alexander Barkov: Who's most to blame?

So with McDavid breaking Gretzky's single season assist record for the playoffs it's time to ask who's most to blame for it. We can narrow it down to the 4 players who had the most defensive responsibilty on their team and who was mainly given the task to stop McDavid and those players were Drew...

We are the small boys club

We are the small boys club

Upfront we are OK but our defense is way smaller than the rest of the league

We are the small boys club

Or most of the teams need to have their guys go on a diet?

God damn, I wish I weighed 192 pounds.

Avs are being weighed at altitude.

 

[Ceremony]

A 15lb difference between top and bottom is a lot.

 

[GoNordiquesGo]

Surprised to see the Panthers at 29...

 

[Tommy Shelby]

We are the small boys club

Two former Avs fatsos, Zadorov and Tufte leading the way for the B's

 

[Balthazar]

Damn..Don Waddell was the Thrashers GM when Dan Snyder died in 2003.

 

[AvsMakar08]

My city where I live (NY) the hockey guy also is surprised that NY only one 1 Stanley Cup.



Avs have 3 cups in much more shorter time period as a franchise.

Avs are got to go all in in the next 2 to 3 years.

Forementon retiring from hockey to work in construction is crazy.

Even if I despised the sport, if I was that good I'd do it for 5-7 years while investing and then go f*** off somewhere else.

He’s unlikely to get a contract worth much until the trial is over… and he’s acquitted (seems unlikely at the moment).

It's either go play overseas and still be associated with hockey, the SA case, and media, or try and find some cover until everything blows over.

you would be surprised how many people played hockey and never enjoyed it a bit

He played overseas already (in Switzerland), but European clubs read the news too. Not good PR.

I give him credit for just calling it quits instead of going to Russia/Belarus.

I'd bet good money he could find a KHL team very quickly.

But you have to live in Russia, which is quite a downside...and once it's over you have to start a new career anyway. It's not like he'll have a good name so I doubt teams in North America will line up to offer him coaching jobs and stuff.

Also he's facing prison time isn't he?

Is Seravalli talking about a Darnell Nurse trade before training camp?!
