Around the League - 2022-23 Season Edition

[wingman75]

This Oilers broadcast has been nothing by whining since I turned it on. It is flat out pathetic. Boarding call this, major call that, slew foot should be a death penalty. No wonder the fan base is the way it is when they get egged on by these losers.

They clearly are not familiar with Eastern Conference hockey, and the free reign the Lightning are given.

I wouldn't expect anything less.

[leafsfan5]

tampa already gooning it up in regular season



important thing is what Maroon did (see the pic below) and refs didn't call F all

Didn't Maroon leech off McDavid and almost score 30 lol

But yeah we need a dirty element to our team. Can't have this happen to Matthews/Marner in our series

 

[saffronleaf]

lol oilers blew the lead

 

[Maplebeasts]

As great as Draisaitl and McDavid are offensively do they ever suck defensively.

 

[Burnie97]

f***ing Oilers let Tampa tie it... but yeah they're so good defensively....

Leafs are just going to have to keep winning.

Can't rely on teams like Edmonton with Campbell in net and a bad D. The forwards suck at back checking too.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Zach Hyman seems to just keep getting better with age. Sure he gets to play with McDavid/Drais, but still, hes having an insane season rn.

In 45 games he has 21 goals, 50 points, and 175 SOG. His highest SOG in a season was 213 last year in 76 games.

Woulda loved to have found a way to keep him.

In the Oilers offensive-first system with McDavid and Drai it's not shocking TBH. I don't think he puts those numbers up in Toronto.

 

[LeafsNation75]

Was anyone either shocked or not surprised that the Panthers got 8 power plays tonight against Montreal, after Paul Maurice gets fined $25,000 for complaining about the calls against Toronto. Never mind the fact he said one of the refs had a longstanding feud with him.

 

[LeafsNation75]

2023 All Star Game jerseys.

 

[BallardEra]

39 goals in 47 games for McDavid.

Would be nice if the oilers can hand Tampa a regulation loss.

Would be nice if the oilers can hand Tampa a regulation loss.

I agree that it's best if the Oilers defeat them in regulation.

However, wanting them to win feels wrong because their fan base is annoying.

 

[ANDI P IS CUTE]

THANKS TO EDM.

Oilers 5th. win in a row.

Lightning had a better winning percentage than the Leafs.

Leafs jump ahead now, 4th. best team in the East.

Top 5 in the league in our conference. 3 of the top 5 in our division. Ugh.

 

[LeafsNation75]

Just watched the Oilers/Lightning highlights and Pat Maroon did two slew foots.

 

[LeafsNation75]

If Kyle Clifford got a 1 game suspension in the playoffs after getting a 5:00 boarding major and a game misconduct, how many games is Andrei Svechnikov going to get suspended for this boarding major? He also got a 5:00 major and a game misconduct.

 

[BallardEra]

Oilers next opponents:

Canucks
Jackets
Hawks
Wings
Flyers
Sens
Habs
Wings

So Stuart Skinner somehow gets into the ASG

I look it up and he has the 18th best SV% amongst goalies with 10+ GP

.. what’s even sadder is that’s the best SV% in the Pacific. And he is only 1 of 2 goalies in that entire division with a SV% above .900. Vladar is the other.

McDavid is crazy good but he’s feasting on that divisions horrid goaltending. Like that division is astonishingly weak.

Skinner is the 29th best goalie this year by total GSAx. It's beyond stupid that he's in the all star game, especially since Edmonton has multiple other players going.

Well, his platoon partner was in it last year ...

He's actually played well for the Oilers, while his partner was stinking it up.

Seems all we ever hear about is how no one cares about the All Star and wish it would go away until they announce the rosters and we get the outrage on who is chosen.

It is but he has 23 goals and 35 assists in 32 games outside the division.

16 goals and 12 assists in 15 games within his division.

He's torching everyone.

A big part of the reason that many people don't care about the All Star game and wish it would go away is precisely because it's become a pointless joke due to stupid decisions like sending mediocre players just because they're one of the least bad goalies in a garbage division.
