Around the League - 2022-23 Season Edition

Chychrun gives them a big piece on the back end .. They have a nice top 4 now:

Chychrun-Chabot
Sanderson-Zub

Sanderson needs some time to grow though.

They're benefitting from Giroux having a career year as well. He's 35 with 2 years left on his deal, how that plays out is a big factor. Getting Norris back will help as will Stutzle's growth.

They need goaltending and improved depth but they're set up well for the future

Sens will be a good team but unless some of their young guys raise another level, they will just be good.

This makes me so upset.

Eh. I won't blink if they're still in the bottom 10 next season I'll also be genuinely surprised if Chychrun finishes his curry contract in Ottawa

Canada's "best team" aka the Winnipeg Jets down 4-0.

the wheels are really falling off the jets lol!

 

[Gabriel426]

the wheels are really falling off the jets lol!

Let’s hope they rebuild and trade Helly to us

 

[3blizzard4]

Oilers are rolling!

Heavy weight big boy RNH with two goals.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Nashville gonna sell off at the deadline and still pass the free falling Jets to make the playoffs?

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Canada's "best team" aka the Winnipeg Jets down 4-0.

Even if they miss the playoffs, they'll still be the best team in Canada according to Noodles

 

[3blizzard4]

8 powerplays for the Oilers.

 

[Metroid]

Vegas announcers (intermission peeps) think Vegas had an amazing trade deadline,. Rangers and leafs added "too much" lol.

*Was two guys. Duno who they were. Some young dude and some older heavy weighted guy.

 

[fahad203]

8 powerplays for the Oilers

they do get their share

But McDavid is really out to burn the league......Dude can't be this good

the wheels are really falling off the jets lol!

You mean the Pratt-Whitney engines are not holding up?
Must be Russian made Sukois

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Did anyone watch that NJ/VGK OT? Adin Hill put on a clinic. I don't think Vegas ever touched the puck lol

They had no business winning that game.

 

[BertCorbeau]

McDavid has 57 PP points alone this season .. wild stuff

Oilers are 3rd in the league in PP opportunities ... should be interesting to see what happens when things clamp down in the playoffs.

Worth noting the Oilers are 4th in PP opportunities against .. somehow they have a -6 differential

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

While I haven’t really decided whether I care about the concept of buying cap, I think what annoys me is listening to Bettman threaten teams about how he will be keeping a close eye on them while allowing one team to do this:

Weber

Ladd

Little

Voracek

OEL

Kane

Bjugstad

Hossa

Datsyuk

Pronger

all the while playing in a tiny rink, constantly bottom feeding etc.

 

[BallardEra]

Insane that McDavid is on pace for 157 points this season.

If he "slumps" to only point per game for the 19 remaining games, he'll finish with 140 points.

 

[Peace Frog]

According to Andy Strickland, Logan Stanley has requested a trade from the Jets. Could be something to explore in the offseason, no?

 

[BallardEra]

Wow do the Oilers ever feast on that PP. They are currently at 31.4% on the PP.

 

[Gary Nylund]

Boston's 17 points ahead of us with a game in hand and a +104 goal differential. They also improved substantially at the TDL, scary stuff.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

According to Andy Strickland, Logan Stanley has requested a trade from the Jets. Could be something to explore in the offseason, no?

Not for the Leafs. He has been pretty bad defensively and offers zero offense. Maybe he will be better with a change of scenery, but we'll let someone else take that chance.

 

[Enniskillen]

Tampa players are power play fiends. Two innocent plays by Buffalo result in two pps for Tampa. Killorn holding Dahlin’s stick under armpit is especially funny. We’ll see the same sh.t from them in playoffs. It’s like they have special training exercise for drawing penalties.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Jesus, I am so envious of the Bruins. That right there, was much ado about nothing. But the pack mentality, God I wish we has some. f***ing all jumping in there.
