Around the League - 2022-23 Season Edition

[Leafs at Knight]

Look at Draisaitl cheating for the empty net instead of playing down low defensively. At least McDavid tried. Draisaitl is embarrassing defensively. Blues tie it up and win in the shootout.

Lol, just no where in the video until the puck is in the net.

Was that also RNH who enters the picture just near the end? What are these guys even doing, when trying to protect a lead?

 

[ULF_55]

As usual, Nurse with a bad turnover in his zone

9.5 million btw

That contract really concerned me.
My thought was Rielly would push for that and neither are worth that much.

 

[MCR74]

Nurse and Campbell combine for 14.25 million of Edmonton's salary cap

Money well spent IMO.

Don't be Soucy .

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Refs will screw the Leafs again.

I got a gameplan...follow this.

Honestly i am surprised more are not talked about this but I am sure due to anonymity they arent revealed as much.

The Atlantic top 3 is essentially decided. Detroit had their hot start to the season slow down and Florida just isn't that good

Boston, Toronto, Tampa. The usual suspects

Toronto vs Tampa Bay in round #1 and then Toronto vs Boston in round #2

 

[leafsfan5]

Toronto vs Tampa Bay in round #1 and then Toronto vs Boston in round #2

It’s looking that way, don’t really want to play Tampa again but it is what it is. They’re still a top tier contender imo

 

[willmma]

Broons are 6-2-2 in their last 10.
With 8-1-1 Leafs gained 3 points.

Do that two more times and the Broons would face Tampa.

 

[MCR74]

Look at Draisaitl cheating for the empty net instead of playing down low defensively. At least McDavid tried. Draisaitl is embarrassing defensively. Blues tie it up and win in the shootout.

The supposed "second best player in the world", everybody...

 

[Mickey Marner]

3 Oilers and 4 Blues in that picture. How the hell are you outnumbered near the net when it's 5 on 5 and you're trying to protect a lead with 20 seconds to go? You're right about Draisaitl. Embarrassing.

It wasn’t even 5 on 5, oilers had a powerplay lol.

That should be the goal, we really need the 1 seed

Whoever is 2 and 3 will have a war in round 1

 

[ULF_55]

Not sure why San Jose losing gets so much play time here?

Must be living on some heads ...

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

It wasn’t even 5 on 5, oilers had a powerplay lol.

Right but the Blues had pulled the goalie at that point to make it 5 on 5. Draisaitl and I think RNH were too focused on the empty net lol

I don't see people commenting on the Sharks here. Where? Unless your talking about this board overall and not the Leafs board.

 

[stickty111]

That contract really concerned me.
My thought was Rielly would push for that and neither are worth that much.

I said this last year but he's basically Rielly without the good things Rielly brings. I guess Nurse is meaner

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Speaking of bad contracts, the Huberdeau extension kicks in next season

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

I said this last year but he's basically Rielly without the good things Rielly brings. I guess Nurse is meaner

I read the other day that acquiring Karlsson automatically gives Edmonton hands down the best #1 unit in the league.

 

[ULF_55]

I said this last year but he's basically Rielly without the good things Rielly brings. I guess Nurse is meaner

I think both Rielly's and Nurse's issues are thinking the play.

Nurse skates much better than you would think.

 

[Fogelhund]

The powerplay merchants needing to be fed powerplay time against the Ducks lol

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Yup, oilers losing? Here's 5 straight pps lol.

 

[Peasy]

Actually embarrassing how bad the Oilers are.

They can only win games through McDavid and the PP.

Draisaitl is a moody point suck. Looking at his pissy body language and cheating play style, think he'd rather lose 7-6 and have 4 points than win 3-1 with 1 point. Also one of the great high volume cross checkers in the game. Wouldn't be surprised if they named an award in his name for that one day.
