2024/2025 Around the League

Inexperienced GM does inexperienced GM things. Happens all the time.

I wish our inexperienced GM had done some of those things his first year. Like...gotten a 2nd line center replacement.

Same, but our inexperienced GM did the JBB thing. Everything is fine for the first year. Then oh boy, we gotta do something the 2nd.

Vanity signing of a star long past their prime by a noob GM who thinks they're much further along than they are, is it?

Took a puck to the neck and they had to stop play to stretcher him off of the bench. Nothing beyond that yet

Again, I don't think Mikko's been all that terrible, he just hasn't stepped up his game in light of injuries and his shooting accuracy has completely gone out the window.

Honestly, if the turnover that got Pasta benched is the one I saw in the highlight reel, Monty kinda overreacted. It was just a really lousy change near as I could tell. Didn't result in a goal against.

I dumped on Mikko a ton last year and during the off-season but I've got no problem with the effort he's put forth so far this season.

This is the kind of effort that is to be expected from a guy that makes $9M+ per year...not whatever the crap that was last year.

Those massive back checks in back to back games were impressive to say the least.

There was no doubt Eichel was going to be showing out tonight. This November 6th must feel like January 6th to him.

Jets are 11-1, and appear to be a wagon. 12 points ahead of the Avs, who currently set 7th in the division behind the likes of Chicago, St. Louis, and Utah. 8 points back of 2nd place Minnihaha. Division already feels out of reach. Another disastrous couple weeks, and they could be permanently in WC contention the rest of the season.

Please. It's a long season. We've seen this team rattle off +/-10 win streaks all the time. Just need to start getting healthy.

Brunette is pretty dumb bloke. Why not risk to put on an extra skater at 3 minutes to play in the game when Preds where in the offensive zone with multiple of faceoffs. He waits until 1:30 or 1:15 to pull his goaler. What a dumb bloke.

I love when Vegas loses but god do I LOVE when Edmonton loses, especially in that fashion.
