2024/2025 Around the League

Did Florida lose anyone?

Montour was it.

 

[Pokecheque]

To be honest... I'm not sure which I liked worse. I actually thought Grubauer was a better goalie for us, his lows weren't as low but I hated how he kinda threw the team in front of him under the bus a few times in the media. Rubbed me the wrong way.

I only wish Frankie had the health to have overcome either. He outplayed both. I really think him having good health, could have been one of those alternate universe moments that completely changes the trajectory of the team.

I will never, ever forgive Groob for that goddamn Nick Holden goal in game six.

Oh yeah I remember when he was still with the Avs it felt like every single breakaway on him was an automatic goal

Conversely, Frankie seemed quite good (when healthy) at stopping breakaways. Dude was amazing in the shootout IIRC.

Montour was it.

Not bad, wonder if lundell finally figures things out.

Lundell already figured it out, he’s just in a lower role due to depth.

Did Florida lose anyone?

Montour, OEL and someone else I might be missing

 

[Avs_19]

Bruins getting wrecked.

 

[JWK]

Lol Bruins

 

[Avs_19]

Lmao at E-Rod.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Stenlund

[Bill Peckerskull]

Tkachuk is such a stain. Won't fight anyone all game, then, after Bennett runs right over Korpisalo, he hides behind the ref and throws punches.

Bennett totally, accidentally on purpose, runs Korpi... in a 6-2 game.

 

[S E P H]

Absolutely brutal goaltending by Karipsalo.

The athletic has our d-core ranked 2nd in the NHL

That is Grubauer being German and not him being a bad teammate. I would easily take Grubauer over Georgiev, even though both have serious problems.

Gotta make some deadline deals to get back on top

 

[S E P H]

Florida wins the cup, and 1st game of next season, when they raise the banner, the arena is about 80% full. Lots of empty seats. Sad thing is next game, and the rest of the season, it will probably be half full.

Considering the hurricanes', I would not judge any game in the state of Florida for the next two weeks IMHO. If you're talking about the seats behind the benches, those are most definitely corporate seats.

Who has better according to them?

Naw, I get the brutal efficiency of the german language. I was having problems processing the vet was telling me pet was a dead man walking and then she finally said (in her wonderful accent), "Listen to me...what I am asking you is how much money you want to spend on a dead animal."

I get and appreciate the bluntness. But Gru was doing it to deflect attention in games where he did nothing himself to contribute to wins. I hold that against him like I actually do hold the "death threat" Mikko gave Georgiev. As funny as that one might have been, it's not in any way either professional or conducive to a team environment and the guy is wearing an A.

 

[the_fan]

It’s very surprising that the Avs don’t really consider goaltending very important and don’t put much effort or money into improving it. It’s surprising because we had the best goalie of all time for so many years and now it’s like get someone for a short stop no matter how average they are

Who has better according to them?

Vegas. I never agree with athletic and don’t on this one either. Vegas d core isn’t better than ours

To be fair, who among us has not wanted to kill George?

 

[dahrougem2]

Korpisalo looks scared to make saves

 

[JWK]

NHL games not starting on time, a tradition like no other

It’s amazing Sacco is still in the league. He must be fuming every night.

Never heard of him
