OT: 2024-2025 News Around The NHL Thread

[GrumpyKelly]

Hoping Ludvig will be a Stillman replacement for the hits and physicality while also supplying more offense than Stillman would have

Next year when Nuti is gone

Agree amigo. No way Nuti is back next year.
Bottom pairing LD spot will be a dogfight for next few years.

Unreal. Tampa at it again. He wasn't even touched. Looked more like a soccer player than a hockey player.

I’m still seeing them say Kuch played on one hip against us and it’s so f***ing hilarious. Imagine being that stupid.

May finally see Driedger in net?
Gru down 2 early against PHI and Judge hasn't played a single minute in the first 3 games.

If PHI get a 3rd before end of 1st or early 2nd, Driedger should go in?

Well they have 4 on Gru, and still no Judge.
The Kraken play tomorrow night in New Jersey, so I imagine you will see Judge in net then.

I'm watching Rangers/Leafs tonight. Rangers look AWFUL. And I think the Leafs are in for a very rough season, too. Weird game.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Phenomenal overtime in this game, though. My goodness.

Ya caught the 3rd on and OT.
That was a wild extra session.
Always good to see TOR lose even if they got a point. Averaging just 2 goals a game through first 4.

Igor was amazing all night from highlights earlier on! Campbell didn't have the workload but had a good game.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Some others were calling Tavares done and to maybe get Marner off the top PP. Haha
They looovvve Bunting.

Observations so far:

A) Marner feels completely dependent on Matthews at this point, he just defers to him nonstop, and when Matthews isn't there he seems useless

B) Muzzin is slowing down

C) Dermott and Sandin are progressing nicely as a pair

D) Campbell is legit

E) Nylander is going to have a huge year

F) Kampf is a much better player than I thought

G) ALL HAIL BUNTING

Hutton apparently has a sub .700 save percentage on the year for Arizona? I mean, I know the plan was to tank but that's ridiculous.

They basically traded Adin Hill away for a worse backup who didn't even make the team and traded Kuemper so that they could sign Hutton. lol

Evander Kane has been suspended 21 games for allegedly submitting a fake covid proof of vaccine card.

Not the brightest bulb

That was a pretty pricey forgery.

1 GA/7 S


Sent with @Nhl

Now that's a juicy rebound!

Tbh the Sharks are probably just pleased he did this, some of his teammates have wanted him gone dating back to last season.

Buyout looks awful (3.6/2.6/4.6/1.6/1.6/1.6), but I don't see any other choice, he's going to be a distraction to the team until he's gone.

Daaamn Driedger...
SEA looks to be in a real tough place right now. First 5 games look like a bottom 3-5 team.

No word on what the injury is yet.

So apparently there is a poster on the leafs board who thinks we haven’t looked good at all I’m any of our games and Knight was “ok” tonight. I can’t wait to wait to beat the piss out of them lol.

They're just scared because the Leafs might miss the playoffs now in the normal divisions. That's right, the Panthers are the new power in the Atlantic!

Is it too early to say Seattle sucks?
