Around the League '15-'16 IV--Awful Pacific Edition

[Frolov 6'3]

You cant compare Bolland with Brown. Different teams, situations.

So why should this be any different for Bernier ? If he played a for another team, he wouldnt look this bad.


I always notice a little schadenfreude with former Kings players.

 

[KingsFan7824]

It's all just so damn subjective.

Columbus just started too poorly. 0-7, all losses in regulation. They're basically playing a 75 game season while most other teams got a decent head start on them. 11-12-3 since that start. Look at Calgary and Anaheim. They've been alright in terms of their records since their bad starts, and they're in the Pacific, but only now are they crawling back into the race.

You can come back from 0-7. Still plenty of points available, take it 1 game at a time. But not if you're only going to get 25 points in the next 26 games. That gets you from last in the league to last in the league.

The Jackets are a good case for every season really being different. They were the hottest team in the league at the end of last year. They add Saad. A couple 70 point players returning. Bobrovsky in net. Questionable defense, but most had them in the mix in the Metro. Then as hot as they were to end the season, they were equally as ice cold to start this year. Plus NJ comes out of nowhere.

O'Neill (NJ) on waivers

Wasn't this our guy and a huge loss to some of you when we lost him on waivers?

Devils gave up a conditional pick which probably won't be met at this rate. Wasn't quite quick enough for a guy his size to be effective in a scoring role. We didn't do him a ton of favors making play on his off wing with Gionta/Tootoo most of the time, but he didn't really make a case to get playing time elsewhere. Was hoping he'd pot one goal though.

There was one die-hard O'Neill fan and that was about it.

Nobody cared.

They are 1-5-3 in December, after going 10-7 in Torts first 17 games as their head coach.

After the surge of the Torts hiring, Columbus is who we thought they were.



The worst team in the league. One **** ty ass team.

haha..I thought they would be better to be honest. In general this year, not just under torts.

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

I think some of us just wanted to see him get a chance. Beyond that, it's up to him. I'm not surprised that O'Neill was put on waivers because of his lack of production, but he did get 22 games in so he was given the opportunity to adjust to the NHL game. It underscores how difficult it is for undersized players to make the transition.

Glad to see Andrew Bodnarchuck is still with Columbus.

 

[Drumstick Handler]

My usual reaction when reading the main board.

Every time I enter the HFBoards, I go there first. Every ****ing time.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Masochist.

 

[Stimpythecat]

But does he have a safe word?

 

[Drumstick Handler]

It's all about the contrast. Feels so much better to come here after that and read something that makes sense.

Masochist and hedonist.

 

[TonySCV]

Low blow.

Well, at least one fan on this board would trade Kopi for him

Just a blurb on Kopitar. This was posted a few days ago. Soft goal of signing him before the roster freeze.

Guessing Stamkos goes to UFA.

He's Segin 2.0. Just watch him get traded and light the league up, somewhere east I hope.

Holy **** Johansen just got smoked on national TV by four analysts.

His ears must be completely burned off.

 

[kingsfan28]

Watching the Caps-Sens game, Mr. All Offense with no backcheck on the Caps 1st goal .I don't think he took a stride once he got to the blueline.

"Half-Assed" was used to described his play during the postgame show, especially when Brown danced around him with the puck before the Kings won it.

I remember that shot that went wide and thought the same thing: what a half-assed attempt at the goal. But put into context with all of those other highlights that Milbury showed, it is pretty damning evidence.

Maybe he is Seguin 2.0...but I don't recall Seguin dogging it with Boston nearly this much. Johansen is poison; I wouldn't risk it.

Pagnotta made the claim, the same guy who said the two sides were "far apart" earlier this month. That guy's credibility is represented by a negative integer.
