Around the League '16-'17 Other Teams' Free Agent Frenzy

[johnjm22]

I don't believe the angles being used to justify goals on the ice unless there from above and this is why it's called parallax view. In photography, the apparent displacement of the position of an object in relation to a reference point, due to a change in the point of observation.

Looking at Barber's feed I noticed this:


Nice.

Did the Isles get their GM? With Lamoriello out in Toronto, snow could finally get replaced.

Lou is still with the Leafs as a senor advisor.

Deked himself straight into the corner. The LA Kings have taught him well...

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Holy f*** Kempe.

That's how you draw 3 checkers and create an opening.

 

[LAKings88]

I’m hoping Kempe breaks out offensively in a big way next year.

I was really interested in this VGK/SJ series to see if the Kings were really that bad.....yep, they were.

allow 7 goals total in a series lost is bad? San Jose allowed that in game 1.

LA got swept but that was as close of a sweep as you will ever see. Vegas deserved to win it, but LA was not that bad.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

The Sharks literally just scored their first 5v5 goal of the series, gimme a break man.

Edit: and it may as well have been a PP goal given the guy hadn't even rejoined the play out of the box.

SJ has been a team who needs the refs to save them year after year and this series is no different, can't do anything really if they're not on the PP.

 

[KINGS17]

Vegas' problem is they don't have a Dustin Brown type player.

I'm watching the game and the difference between the Kings and the Sharks is that they're chasing loose 50/50 pucks and willing plays. Kings were losing all 50/50 pucks. Lack of hunger and speed.

The sharks have something to prove. Kings seemed to drag ass. That's got to change next year. The biggest offender of this is Toffoli.

It was close because of Quick...no other reason. LA was outplayed from the first minute of the first game.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I recall a period in which the Kings had something like two shots on goal for an entire period, and often times they’d go on long, near 10-minute stretches with only a shot or two.
Quick is the reason the games were close.

And god damn this is one entertaining OT. I’m very thankful Dean Lombardi and his crackpot scouts elected to select Thomas Hickey ahead of Logan Couture in 2007.

And just as I type that...

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Karlsson with the snipe. What a story has his season been?

 

[head eyes]

Jeez Martin Jones looks terrible. Got beat countless times but was saved by the post, except for when he wasn't.

 

[KINGS17]

Burns and Martin on the ice for the OT goal against. It's becoming a familiar theme for the Sharks.

 

[Reclamation Project]

World class shot by a world class player. Incredible snipe.

 

[KINGS17]

Fleury playing out of his mind thus far in the playoffs.

 

[SettlementRichie10]

Every day that San Jose loses is a good day.

Incredible run by a guy who did very little for four years and given up on by two teams , now he's world class , crazy shit

Just awful.

Loving people pumping the Sharks' tires just to crap on the Kings when really the Sharks haven't done anything but be the 2015 Kings, lots of shots, but less dangerous ones. And their only 5v5 goal of the series came 2 seconds after a powerplay.

Let's be real, if they were wearing black and a home plate logo, there'd be a ton of people crapping all over them.

Where have I heard that before ??????

I like the Fleury bounceback story because frankly he was looking like career burnout for a few years there.

[Raccoon Jesus]

Also man wtf were Martin and Burns doing on that OT winner, that was some beer league coverage

 

[Reclamation Project]

I'm sure everyone is tired of the tire pumping, but I watched most of the Golden Knights games this year and Karlsson is a world class scorer. He has a lethal shot. Very, very smart player.

I could care a less how many seasons he's been in the league. All you need is the right opportunity and environment to flourish.
