Around the League 2019-20 Pt. 2

[Ziggy Stardust]

That's the pick that has hurt the Kings the most.

Yep, that's one of those moves that sets a franchise back a few years. Seeing how the Islanders have not missed a beat since losing Tavares and having Barzal fill his shoes shows just how good of a player he is, and he's only 22 and still showing improvement as well-rounded, playmaking two-way center.

 

[Steve Zissou]

Bennetts having a good game, and hopefully a strong playoffs will help them move him,, prior attempts at trade werre met with low ball offers. Can't see them keeping him, due to CAP.

 

[kingsfan28]

Totally agree. But didn't Richards getting caught in the border the same summer? Those 2 incidents shut the window and DL became desperate.

Add in really poor drafting, and moving whatever high picks we had in desperation, started the downhill fall. By the end of 2016, we had nothing left.

There were 3 or 4 guys there we could've taken that would've had an impact on the team. We also traded away our 2nd pick a few years later in Cernak who looks to be a pretty good defender for Tampa. The only guy I think left from the 2015 draft is Wagner.

$2500.00 fine for that chop

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Wow, Patches fitting right in with the rest of the lumberjacks I see. What the f*** is he even doing going after Debrincat in the corner? It's an ENG you giant f***ing baby, get over it

 

[tny760]

DeBrinkat would've been in his right to slash him back in the corner, but of course he'd have been fined and suspended for starting an altercation or whatever. That slash was boarderline intent to injure. Guys have been suspended for that.

"Matt Nieto from Long Beach, California." lol.

Opens scoring for AVS.

 

[Telos]

Avs lighting the Yotes up.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

As good and dynamic as Nathan MacKinnon is, he will never, ever, live down that one measly assist at the 2013 World Juniors.

 

[KINGS17]

So it's shaping up to look like a WCF of Vegas vs Colorado to me.

Thank goodness she's credible, lord knows Lisa Dillman isn't!

She's also quoting a direct source, which we all know in Ottawa is considered nonsense unless she provides an opinion from Bob McKenzie.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

This Avs team is so much fun to watch.

Avs lighting the Yotes up.

Yotes aren't going anywhere anytime soon. They have no true number one center and while they have some good young players have no game breaker. Kessel is a shell of his former self and if they don't sign Hall gave up a lot for nothing sheesh.

Yup I love their nucleus it's insane how good this team can and will be.

Another game where they look like they don't belong. They are by far the worst of all the playoff team.

 

[Lt Dan]

I think the Avs are going to win it this year

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I think the Avs are going to win it this year

They were my pick in all my hockey pools. MacKinnon is playing like a man possessed.

 

[Zero Pucks Given]

Tampa just one game away from some sweet revenge for last year's debacle.

I think the Avs are going to win it this year

If nothing else, I just need them to knock out those ****ing Knights.

 

[Sleeping Dog]

Can’t some team hire Pierre as their GM and get him off the telecasts? Unbearable

 

[Bandit]

RIP Dale Hawerchuk. Sucks, only 57.

 

[LAKings88]

Hawerchuk was a really good player. RIP.
