GDT: 2024-25 other games around the league

Mixed feelings seeing Blackwood's success with Colorado. Always seems to work out for then when they trade with the Sharks (Brad Stuart aside...then again...).

I am aware of how big CA is but I get why you wanted to clarify. I have an employee who lives up in your neck of the woods and her husband is a fireman and his company was sent to help so that is what prompted me to post.

I feel for your coworker. That quake was nowhere near LA.

I just moved to OKC from Boston (family reasons) so I feel the last part of your post.

I’m a Sharks fan in LA - appreciate the concern! Okay so far…

Yeesh, that Ducks game was brutal. You'd think with Gudas and Trouba they'd show some backbone but no. Guess they rely on Terry way more than I thought. Come to think of it, every time I tune into a Ducks game it's Terry, Vatrano or goaltending that bail them out. Not much from their young guys. Eakins was a bleh coach but at least Terry and I guess Zegras broke out under him, Croninburg is just bleh. Under him, all their young players outside of LaCombe and Dostal seem to have stagnated. From what I've seen, anyway.

Prior to this season I thought their rebuild was on track. Now it seems conductor Cronin is steering it toward a cliff. It'll be interesting to see if Verbeek pulls the lever in time before it goes boom.

Hiping Mack can do it faster

I really don't like the Blackhawks right now.

They've been considerate enough to rack up two wins already this month, what more do you want from them?

3 wins

It was a somewhat overblown and manufactured affair, and I tend to sympathize with Gauthier, but it's nice to see the Flyers deliver so well in a "must-win" game

Was in Chicago last week for a conference and checked out the Hawks/Avs game. That stadium was absolutely packed compared to a Wednesday night at the tank.

I get that it's Chicago vs SJ, but still interesting to see the only team worse than us at the moment selling out a Wednesday night. I didn't see too many Avs fans either so it was mostly Chicago fans.

The Sharks need to do some major work on rebuilding a bridge to the Bay Area community.

If the Sharks had had 3 championship banners fluttering over the lousiest of products, they would have had far fewer attendance issues.

They already are, by rebuilding the team into something that'll start winning again

It's unbelievable that Sweden chose Leo Carlsson over William Eklund. Eklund has 34 points in 41 games and Carlsson barely looks like he's an NHLer. It's like taking Will Smith over like, Matt Boldy or someone like that. Ridiculous.

 

[Hodge]

Another 0 point game for Michfraud who’s now getting 4th line minutes. Yakupov 2.0?

 

[Star Platinum]

Probably missed a conditioning assignment too

Is your point that they weren't drafted in the same years? She was referring to the 4 nations. Maybe I'm missing your point.

No, I'm missing the point. Apparently, when I read Sweden, my brain thinks Anaheim.
