GDT: Around the League 2023-24 I : "Wake Up. September Has Ended!"

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Impressive but not as good as Bobby Orr who started in the NHL at 18 and by the age of 25 had racked up 6 Norris 2 Harts 2 Conn Smythe and an Art Ross which he won with 34 points better than his next nonTeamate 120-86 And was the leading scoring Dman 5 straight seasons Makar started his career at 21 in the regular season

Agreed. There is only 1 Bobby Orr. Add that his career was shortened through knee injuries in a time and era where the surgery practices and rehab work was essentially only one step up from applying leaches compared to modern times. Paul Coffey and Orr are two of my top five favourite players of all time. Makar is one of my top three current era favourites.

Significant and really why I posted it is the Hall of Fame company that Makar finds himself in with this milestone. Suter is maybe the outlier within a very special small group.

This can not be true. Tyler Seguin was trying to get into the dallas arena but did not have any ID. Secuirty guard asked him prove who he was and he showed him the his photo on their website?

Who moves first. Winnipeg 1.0 or Winnipeg 2.0.

2.0.

Back to Georgia as well for Atlanta 3.0.

Winnipeg 3.0 moves before Winnipeg 1.0

Coffey also started right after his draft year and while the Oilers had Gretzky everyone in the core of the future dynasty was a baby. Risto was the main pp guy that year. Coffey had 9 pp points. At the same age Makar is now Coffey had 192 goals and 602 points.

Makar is a real talent. But in my mind he is a fair bit below Coffey at the same age never mind Orr.

Is that like Windows 3.0?
Please standby while the team is updating.

 

[SK13]

Oh man the East is gonna be so fun to watch this year. NYR, Detroit, Ottawa, Buffalo, Toronto, Washington and Pittsburgh are all built offense-back. Gonna be some really silly games this year.

 

[RipsADrive]

NHL scheduling is so dumb.

There should be at least one late game tonight.

24 floppy disks later. But I digress…

Just booked our (bride and youngest 14 year old) to see the Oil DESTROY (hopefully) the Kraken on Nov 11th.

The name of the Arena sucks. Climate Pledge Arena for the loser loss. Hopefully we will shove Oil down their eco-green-loving throats.

We used to fly to Edmonton in the dead of winter to grab a game. One game per year. Got the best seats and usually stayed at the Mac. We always lost. Froze our arses off. Then Vegas got a team. Let’s go there instead of Edmonton. No offence to anyone . We always lost until last year. Regardless, being in Vegas has its advantages vs Edmonton in the dead of winter.

Anyhoo…


Will make the 3 hour drive north from Portland for the weekend. If anyone on here wants to grab a pre-game wobbly pop or three, I’d love to meet up and show my American wifey how us Canadian-born peeps enjoy a hockey game!

Oh and have to shout out that Calgary sucks!!

I usually drink in even numbers until i hit double digits and can't count

Watching Avs vs Hawks, its not fair. Avs looking like the globetrotters out there.

Avs have almost as many shots in the 1st period as we did in the game. And both games against tanking teams that unloaded their best players in the off-season.

2 games Wednesday
12 games Thursday.
2 games Friday

any legit reason to why the NHL does this shit to themselves? Like really you want to have that many games competing against Thursday night football, but then take days off when there is little to no competition?

It's so dumb. Especially the lack of Friday games. There always seem to be like two of them tops.

Only around 11,000 at the Jets game. Been awhile since we've seen attendance like that at a Canadian game.

Yup knew that would happen there eventually. It’s not a big market and now that tickets are readily available seasons seats become less important as you can see any game any time without the cash commitment of seasons tickets.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

But I thought the Leafs got all tough this off season with Reaves, Domi and Bertuzzi???

 

[BlackDogg]

At least Calgary lost

 

[Mav3rick07]

At least we haven't lost to a team as bad as Columbus. Yet.

 

[K1984]

Rasmus Andersson is a piece of f***ing shit.

 

[RipsADrive]

Flames broadcast downplaying that bullshit hit.

I don’t think they’re significantly better or worse than Nashville or Philly to be honest.

Flames broadcast downplaying that bullshit hit.

“Oh well it looked like the shoulder”

Not the point. Targeted a vulnerable player with 0 seconds on the clock is a blatant attempt to injure.

Although if the Pietrangelo incident is any indication the NHL doesn’t actually care.

 

[TheNumber4]

Flames broadcast downplaying that bullshit hit.

They always do. Now watch the flames fanbase doctor and photoshop some videos of the incident to pretend it never happened.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Man the West is a pile of ass. You might as well pencil in Vegas/Colorado as the WCF.
