Around the League 2021-22 Part 2

So, uh, Toronto went with... milk. For their jersey ad, I mean. Milk.

Is there a brand of Canadian milk called Milk? That's the most Canada thing ever.

It's the logo of dairy farmers of Ontario apparently. My brother had this poster of Doug Gilmour as a kid which is all it can make me think of.

 

[Quack Shot]

Seems like more teams going color....

I think their “gold” is the ugliest color in the NHL. It just reminds me of puke.

Puking Nights is pretty apt for Las Vegas though.

Makes sense, milk would go bad by playoffs too.

Give yourself a pat on the back.

Something something Auston Matthews with a milk moustache something something "Got milk?".

Anybody have a DALL·E invite?

 

[Anaheim4ever]

I want Joe Thornton to play another season because he would be the very last Gen X and 1970s birth to play in the NHL.
Chara and Marleau just retired.

Can we get Verbeek to do a conference like his mentor.

These 2 players have a combined 13 years left on their contracts.

That's so crazy. I hope both players at the very least have a good quality life and hopefully can return to play as well

As if Flyers' fans weren't feeling enough.

Also Milano is wearing #15 for the Flames (per puckempire)

That Ellis news is a massive blow to the Flyers. When healthy he’s such a good dman but sounds like he might never play again for them. Got to feel for Ellis, not a fun situation at all to be in.

Couturier loss is obviously on a similar level but from the sounds of things there’s a lot more optimism there.

Man I love these behind the scenes draft day and free agency videos

This was cool, I just wish that there were more interesting names involved than Eric Comrie and Ilya Lybushkin

Haha you're not wrong, though I do think Lybushkin would have been an excellent fit as a third RD behind Klingberg and JD.

Flyers are gonna be really bad this year without Ellis and Couturier, they'll fire Torts after the season.
Maybe Torts will make them implode more like Carlyle in 2018-19 season.

Torts is one of the best coaches around at getting the most out of weak rosters, I highly doubt his coaching record bears any resemblance to Carlyle’s back 18-19.

Des is like "f*** I miss Eakins"

 

[mightyquack]

Who would have had Nolan Patrick playing more games post trade then Ryan Ellis?

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Mike Smith failed his physical and was sent home, will be placed on LTIR. Not hard to imagine this being the end of the line for him.

But the Oilers are fine in net, they have their 30 year old career back up locked up to a long term deal...
