Around the League - 2022-23 Season Edition

It’s sad that Seattle is built better for the playoffs than us.

Isn't their GM ron Francis?

What does he know about hockey ?

 

[Nineteen67]

Have they set theEast final schedule yet? Should start Thursday?

 

[HolyCrap]

At least we don't have to live in Edmonton (sorry Edmonton Leaf fans). I would obsess over Toronto too if I lived in that frozen shithole

I hate Oilers due to their fanbase. Always have. But I really like the Province of Alberta. I’m an outdoorsman so I like the terrain especially the badlands. The city itself is pretty gross but I couldn’t even live in a smal town let alone a city. Northern Ontario is still my favourite place though.

Yup. Regular season means squat as long as you get into playoffs. Build a team around players with heart that rise to the occasion.

Speed kills. Seems like the Leafs were skating in quicksand for most of the playoffs.

Oldest Team is Florida when they started in 1993 lol! Carolina was 1972 when they were the Whalers but the Team Relocated to Carolina in 1997 lol

Gary Bettman: THIS IS THE GREATEST FINAL FOUR IN NHL HISTORY!

They are playing like Vegas a few years back. Just refuse to give up and keep fighting back.
We need a coach who can preach that to the players and players to buy in.

Um, you are aware who is coaching Seattle, right? We had him two years ago, as a defensive coach, and he sucked ass.

Former GM of Carolina. Not too shabby.

I know and when he was hired I thought Seattle wanted to tank but it turns out he can actually coach or get the players to buy in.

Maybe the player didn't buy in

I certainly don't like the Leafs because of their fanbase.

I had a choice 25 years ago, Toronto or Calgary, been in Calgary for 25 years now and individually most people are fine, but their whack-jobs here get a lot of airtime.

Don't like the Flames, enjoy the Oilers and has nothing to do with their fans, but the Flames media are some of the biggest suck-ups you'll ever see/hear.

 

[BallardEra]

NHL is a joke league. You have one game tonight and a great opportunity to showcase McDavid and Draisaitl but you start the game at 10pm EDT?

 

[Superstar]

Maybe the player didn't buy in

Run and gun, pad the points, more money on contract negotiations...you lose, I win...

I think it's weird in that the Leafs were a speed team like that and somewhere along the line by getting tougher they also lost some of that speed.

Hard to really know what identity they were really going for.

How did we not sign Tye Kartye?

Undrafted Ontario kid, played for the Soo, extremely physical and has a wicked shot.

Missed on signing Jeannot as well.

It’s obvious that we need some young guys with grit? Why are we sleeping on these kind of signings?

Kartye gets boost from Leafs camp

To be sure, it was an eye-opening experience.

We invited him to camp after his draft year.

Who say we didn't try to get him? He chose an organization with far more opportunity.

Tanner Jeannot was signed in the transition period between Lou and Dubas.

He shouldn't have held any sort of hockey ops job for the last decade. He just doesn't get how to build a team in the cap era.

I don't mind him as a media guy for entertainment purposes though

 

[Lightsol]

Maybe the player didn't buy in

And in Philadelphia, too?

 

[Menzinger]

The Oilers game still doesn't start for like an hour lol. The NHL scheduling is embarrassingly terrible
