Around the League - 2022-23 Season Edition

I think both of these teams would give the Leafs fits with their speed and forechecking.

Funny enough I think Tampa's defense that won the cup was a slower overall defense than ours. Problem is they compensated for it in many other areas, our defense is really bland compared to theirs.

Wow, Carolina not messing around despite missing Svechnikov and Teravainen...must be nice to have players that show up to play.

 

[BallardEra]

Devils need to find a real goalie.

 

[BTP]

we might get swept, but at least we never got blown out

 

[keonsbitterness]

Scoring goals -- good plan by Carolina.

Series not over.

Yep.

Vanecek now at 4.65 GAA and .825 SV% in the playoffs this season.

 

[Shooter2x]

Devils are allowed to lose in 2nd round to Carolina and saw huge progress in their 2 young stars.

Leafs are the only team in embarrassment mode. Go figure. Our life story. It would be fitting if all Panthers goalies are injured by the 3rd and we get swept while they have their zamboni driver in net.

Weird how they neutered the Rags high powered offense and get thumped by Carolina who are missing important point producers.
Schmid starts next game?

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Crazy how good Carolina is despite missing so much talent due to injuries.

Saros is gonna end up in New Jersey. You heard it here first.

Can’t see the Jets letting him walk so if he doesn’t commit this summer he just may be available.

 

[Voodoo Child]

I’m finding it difficult to be as upset about the draft lottery as some are.

Bedard and probably Fantilli go west.

Montreal lands just on the cusp of the sweet spot at 5.

College Arena team outside the sweet spot at 6.

Detroit at 9 lol - Bedard was the piece.

Vancouver at 11 even more lol.

Ottawa Summer of Dorion no pick, College Arena team has it but maybe they convince Montreal to move up one place - no one in the top 4 is trading down. Leafs get swept does Dubas have the balls to do Marner for 12th, 2023 2nd, Hayton and Crouse (he doesn’t…)?

Buffalo and Pittsburgh in mystery box territory.

Brindamour effect. Was unstoppable player and seems like he has that effect on his players as a coach.

Alsoman watching that Whitecloud interview was hard..you can tell he was hurt by the commentary.

 

[Nineteen67]

The evil side of me would have loved seeing him in Montreal.

I know, twisted, but is he really that much better than Matthews?

Maybe Bedard >> Matthews?

Were people afraid of that playing out?

I never wish for anything good to happen to any Montreal team.

 

[Nineteen67]

I’m glad Montreal, Arizona didn’t get Bedard. Montreal for obvious reasons, but screw Arizona. A pathetic excuse for a sports franchise doesn’t deserve a generational talent like Bedard. imagine one of the best prospects we’ve seen since McDavid wasting away on a team that plays out of a university arena.

If it passes the vote their new arena in Tempe will be sweet.

 

[Menzinger]

MLSE should use it's chequebook and start stealing those scouts away lol

Is the schedule out yet?

Luneau was the top guy left on my board too... And yet they reached hard for Minten instead.

Hopefully Michkov drops to 5 Montreal takes him and he decides to stay in the KHL forever.

I do think he's gonna drop to at least 5 though because of the uncertainty around his contract and personal life

I love regular season and game 1-3 Mitch, but he’s kind of a big reason the Leafs are down 3-0, that egregious giveaway on the G2 winner and his being a ghost and all.

Unless he and JT wake up and Matthews starts burying these AAA chances he used to be automatic on at most I can see them pushing to game five.

Hopefully Michkov drops to 5 Montreal takes him and he decides to stay in the KHL forever.

I don’t see MSL taking that big a swing after surprising the hockey world with Slaf last year. They end up with Wood, Smith or Benson unless someone else drops. Still pretty nice but still need a few more blue chip guys to make noise - oh and Caufield to not be the same size I was when I was 11, but that’s not happening.

But I could see the Sharks taking him at 4.
