2024/2025 Around the League

[UncleRisto]

Hughes didn't play

Well, did he get points?

 

[The Abusement Park]

To be fair he's been stapled to Dach who's been absolute dog shit this season until today.

Dach at center this season has annihilated the offense of any winger placed next to him.

Dach not being able to cut it at C and Newhook not being a C or even a top 6 W should be evident to scouts out there. Just bad bets by Montreal.

 

[LOFIN]

Sabres about to go on a hot streak and give hope for their fans again

 

[McMetal]

Trashbin sees Georgiev giving up back breaking goals on plays that shouldn't even be dangerous and says "Anything you can do, I can do better!"

 

[Murzu]

Just fined? Bs. If this was Ottawa their 1st rounder would be gone.

 

[sethro109]

People keep elbowing Dallas players. Coincidence or is it because of how Dallas plays?

 

[the_fan]

Hughes injury is now week to week

 

[Gumballhead]

Hughes injury is now week to week

Prolific next level showing from the best to ever do it.

It really should be Benn then.

 

[dahrougem2]

I was about to question the call...


Then I saw that flying elbow. Yikes

Some sad faces in Canuck land now, list of injuries have piled up there similar to the Avs to start the year….. Oh well what a shame lol

Well, i dont make fun of other teams and their injuries.

But on the other hand:

Endless times i heard from other fanbases "Injuries are part of the game and no excuses".....

Feels good every time when some of those "experts" eat their own words and witness the same shit we have for years now.

Other question:
Am i the only one who thinks that this 4 nations tournament is not a good idea? I mean, we have all of our top players there and this is going to be an all out war.

 

[Bender]

What a horrible goal by Kuemper lol f*** sakes that rebound was juicer than the steak I had last night.

I'm sure a hungry Eric Lacroix was lurking outside your kitchen window...

How do these guys coach in the KHL? I'm imagining a translator screaming the translation after the coach does.

Either that or the coach screaming and the translator being monotone.

KHL?

 

[CobraAcesS]

KHL?

Guy Boucher actually was what gave me the thought the other day. Applies overseas in general with these English speaking former NHL coaches.

The only thing that swings the hammer of justice in the NHL is an overly bitchy owner.

I'm fairly confident when Bob Hartley insulted his players when coaching in the KHL they had no issue whatsoever understanding him.

 

[LOFIN]

They probably have a translator, but I suppose the majority of the players understand English well enough. The fact that we have plenty of European players come over who don't "speak English" doesn't mean they don't understand it. I mean sure, some of them really don't, but there are a lot of people who understand a language well enough, can probably even write it in some form, but are shy/struggle to speak it out loud.

In European soccer, it's absolutely common to have different nationalities across the continent coaching. I think Marcelo Bielsa (Argentinian) who coached Leeds United for four years never did a single press conference or interview in English, always through a translator:


In this way, it's quite funny how the NHL has been so reluctant to hire European coaches. And even funnier, how in Montreal they seem to insist on someone who can speak French. Meanwhile it's absolutely no issue to hire foreign coaches for the biggest clubs in European football. Like even a club like FC Barcelona is not insisting on hiring a Catalan coach.

Don’t usually make fun either but nucks fans have been over the top with the Hughes is the best dman in the league, guy has been fantastic don’t get me wrong but Makar is still on top. It’s very similar to the rangers and fox from a few years ago, just gets tiring lol

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Didn't realize Nate Clurman made his NHL debut this season, so much for the Avs being bad at drafting right!?

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

No word on how many 1st round picks Ottawa had to forfeit

 

[Metallo]

I think I'll watch of bit of the NYR-FLA game to warm myself by the dumpster fire.

Moore incident guilt catching up to him?

 

[the_fan]

No word on how many 1st round picks Ottawa had to forfeit

Wow 100K fine. That’s a big deal. It’s like regular people like us being fined 10 bucks

 

[BaconNater]

Maybe it's because I'm around rational Avs fans all the time but it's shocking to me how many Leaf fans bought back in on the core 4 and have high expectations again. How many years in a row have they wanted to dump Marner after a dumpy playoffs

I’m guessing the goaltending boost more than anything else has them believing.
