2024/2025 Around the League

[Metallo]

 

[Tommy Shelby]

The only defensive play he's made all year

Of course I realize that it's not easy in practice. Probably impossible.

"Nobody cares about the fans"

Well they should, if they don't want to get booed of the ice and receive death threats (not condoning this, but this stuff will happen) and whatnot on social media. I'm sorry, but you are the naive one if you say players should don't need to care what the fans think. Especially in a market like that.

Lol. Yeah. I'm the naive one.

You are far too emotional if you think players honestly care or need to care what fans think.

 

[The Kingslayer]

If players cared what the fans thought they would shoot the puck on the PP

They do. If they care in Europe and other big markets, they sure do in New York. It's all nice and well to wipe the tiers in dollar notes and ignore social media, until your wife starts getting death threats and your kids are bullied in school. Which is what happens in every big market at some point, because there are enough fanatics out there.

You keep on believing that.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

This is TERRIBLE! How do you call that on McTavish?

 

[MacKaRant]

Heard yesterday that the room turned against the GM. You don't see that shit often.

Players really don't appreciate what Drudy did to Trouba (and possibly Kreider) and Laviolette is stuck between a rock and a hard place.

I know Trouba was captain, but was he actually that well liked in the room? He was playing third pair last year in the playoffs, and probably would have been healthy scratched if not fit the captaincy.

He was liked in the room, no doubt about that.

 

[Alienblood]

Marchand is heating up after those off season surgeries. He's still elite

He's a very good player. But he's not better than Mikko Rantanen, which you suggested in the roster trade thread.

All around I think he is. He can do it all

You are very alone with that opinion, but it's fine. I mean we are all entitled to our opinions. Just know that yours is objectively wrong, and it's not really up to debate either.

 

[LOFIN]

Unconfirmed, but vey much possible

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Unconfirmed, but vey much possible

They couldn't get him a f***ing Uber? Does Kroenke also own the Sens?

Not that we need wingers, but if the Bruins drop out of the playoff picture and we can get Marchand…Marchand-MacKinnon-Rantanen would be fun to watch, and also, the temper on that trio of guys would be hilarious

 

[LOFIN]

Apparently, it's just that his car was parked f***ing far away and he had to go grab his stuff there when the call came mid game

 

[The Kingslayer]

Kovalenko another point.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Kovalenko another point.

I truly am happy for him.

But I'm also happy that we currently have a 100% track record of trading a Kovelenko for Stanley Cup winning goaltender.

Canucks just got thumped 5-1 at home by the Bruins.

They will come out strong looking for redemption when we go in there on Monday night.

I was going to say that they just blanked Florida 4-0, but Flordida got blanked 3-0 today by Calgary too so maybe it was not Vancouver being good but rather pathers being shit
