Around the League - 2022-23 Season Edition

[Nineteen67]

Way to go VGK

 

[Peasy]

Oiler's musta been hella burned by Campbell this season to not even start him in the last couple of games. Skinner has been awful almost all playoffs.

 

[Nineteen67]

And to think, Cassidy was available last summer.

 

[TheShape]

Wish McDavid would just demand a trade already. One of the best of all time just spinning his wheels in that dumpster fire.

Nobody would blame him at this point.

They have another four years to figure it out with Campbell.

This just in, the fairly recent expansion Vegas Knights have made the final 4 for the 4th time in their 6 years of existence.

Seattle playing in game #7 today have a chance to make it to the final 4 in only their 2nd year.

Tax free markets.
Every final from 2017 will have at least 1 of the 6 tax free markets.

Leafs should just pay the $500m expansion fee or whatever and tell the league we're going to replace our current roster with an expansion draft

Hire this man

 

[Gallagbi]

Its tough to imagine a less interesting semi finals group. Theyre obviously good teams, and even play fairly exciting games, but there just doesnt seem to be a pull to watch

But I was told taxes have zero influence on a player signing a contract!

We just need to be the Niagara Maple leafs. It's in America, new market new place, all the calls, and referees will come to our aid. Then finally when we win the cup, we can do the big reveal.

 

[leafsfan2point0]

No cups in Canada since Bettman started is no coincidence, especially with his mandate of growing the game in the US.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

I know not many watch the NBA, but Tatum is the player you'd want. He stinks in the series even if he's a star, back against the wall holy moly explodes in game 6. Game 7 time...no problem breaking a record. Mamba mentality is a beauty.

I don't think I've seen that in the NHL tbh since maybe Justin Williams, who just brought but even then he wasn't the star.

 

[BayStBullies]

hOw CaN tHe TwO gReAtEsT pLaYeRs Of AlL TiMe LoSe?!? - Oilers fans

How did Matthews compare in the second round?

 

[TheTotalPackage]

Don't think you could come up with a more lame final four than we are going to see this year. Especially if Seattle and not Dallas advances.

Yet both are going home after one got to play one more game

The TV ratings are going to be absolute dogshit. Very little remaining star power and no real compelling storylines unless you really just want the chaos of a new expansion team winning like Vegas or Seattle or are invested in Florida getting its first Cup as well. No major markets.

I like the Carolina team and Rod as a coach, and I guess if Dallas advances it would be cool to see Pavelski win. That's about it for me.

Id want the canes to win it tbh.

 

[ToneDog]

Jack Eichel makes it into the 3rd round in year two with Vegas after missing playoffs in year 1.

Wonder when Fredzilla is going to fake an injury.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Damn THAT'S WILD!

 

[1specter]

Damn THAT'S WILD!

Maybe he was the guy we should've hired all along

 

[Gallagbi]

If i had to pick id go with Dallas, but im largely indifferent

 

[Leaf Rocket]

same tbh. I think its Canes-Knights finals.

 

[ToneDog]

Let's hope Florida goes to the final so the usual suspects can say we lost to a SC Finalist.
