Around the League - 2023/24

[AllAboutAvs]

He brings an excitement to the game for both sides that I think very few guys can.

That is an understatement. I don't know IMO that is too much for my taste.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

They are so stupid. DJ Smith sucks. That team should be way better than they are.


Yah I low key like Jack Michaels lol I actually dont like Harnaryan.

They know DJ Smith ain't for realz but they are fine with it. Tank with Smith is the plan obviously. He will be easy guy to fire and blame after their season fails.

Another great pick and they should be good to go.

 

[Azrael89]

Hes actually a hardcore Oilers fan which makes it more hilarious when he seems excited when they lose haha.

Maybe that’s why they get so pissed. I just know I’ve seen the phrase, “F*** off Singh” after a couple of losses when I’ve been perusing their gameday threads. Lol

 

[The Kingslayer]

I dont think many Oiler fans actually know that hes a hardcore fan lol I know someone close to Harnaryan and he told me thats what Singh told him that he overcompensates sometimes to make it seem less bias when he calls an Oilers game.

 

[Pokecheque]

McGahey would be good if he wasn’t repeating everything over and over after goals being scored by the Avs

I’ll admit he leans a little too heavy on the catchphrases even for my tastes but I still think he makes a good call and just has a great voice for the game.

Yeah, if he can just change it up a little on goal calls where he doesn’t always repeat the same thing, he’d be really good

 

[UncleRisto]

It's probably not the fact that he banged Bedard's mom. But he made her wear a Getzlaf jersey and call herself "the captain" while doing the deed.

You were warned about fan fiction.

That's probably just because they're racist.

 

[Hasbro]

*96.875% of teams don't win it all.

You can't win it every year, unless you are the Canucks and then you can't win it ANY year.

 

[AvsFan29]

I thought they already won this year's cup? They made a ton of noise about something

 

[5280]

I think it’s hard to evaluate Ryker when he’s paired with such a dolt. I’ll admit he’s not great, but Moser’s the absolute worst

 

[Balthazar]

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

Makar would say this but 3 games sooner.

Blackhawks terminate Corey Perry’s contract, but many questions remain unanswered

The big question lingering is whether Perry’s alleged misconduct has risen to the level of a material breach of his...

www.dailyfaceoff.com

News are spreading that Perry was drunk at an event (team-event) with sponsors etc... And something there happened.......

If thats indeed the reason the Hawks are acting like "dummies" again and let this "Bedarf-Mom-Nonsense" spread for nothing.

I mean, it cant be any worse than what Nuke did in Seattle.

On the other hand: The AVS got away with it, maybe the Hawks think they can too.. Or thought so.....

Any word from the NHLPA so far?

Number 1 rule, don't f*** with the money.

If sponsors were there, it's a completely different situation than the Nuke one.

 

[Alienblood]

instead we have Pratt ugh

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

Why can't we have Footer instead of whoever turned Byram into a mediocre second pairing guy.

 

[redacted]

instead we have Pratt ugh

I think Foote has done an excellent job there, and he might end up being a great a great coach... but Pratt's track record far exceeds Foote's when it comes to coaching.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

We had him as an advisor and he turned Nate Guenin into a regular NHLer for awhile, and I'm not sure if I'm ready to forgive him for that yet.

 

[Grigowski]

True.

But if true, we are talking about a simple "business decision". Thats why none of the players really had a clue whats going on.

look what he's done to Byram and Girard.
I'm with NEB on this one

So zero credit for developing them into #3s and Toews taking a jump and Makar being arguably the best player in the league and the countless scrubs turned into NHLers. People just want to focus on the negatives without acknowledging that the Avs have arguably been the best team in the league at developing defensemen since he came aboard... and before that his years in the Columbus system brought along a lot of really good defensemen as well.

Pratt is an elite coach of defensemen. The track record is as good as anybody in the league today. He gets players to be elite, he gets the best out of middle talent, and he can rounds scrubs out into NHLers.

 

[Ararana]

Why are we shitting on Pratt? He's done a fantastic job with the Avs defense.

I'd personally be happy if the Avs never hire another former Avs player turned coach again.

 

[dahrougem2]

Lol people gonna complain just to complain.

Pratt has been tremendous for this team since his hire. This is like complaining about Bednar not being a good enough coach or something stupid.

Happy for Footer.

 

[UnkleKraker]

Lol no. How much does the media think about the victim when reporting about say a rape that has happened between common people? Nada. The only thing the insiders/beats are thinking is themselves and their access to people. For the Blackhawks it's obvious they are protecting their employee.

It's a shitty thing to say and sucks for the victim, but that's how it goes in real life. Probably most rape victims would like to keep it quiet, because it's a traumatic and shameful experience (even though one shouldn't feel shame for being a victim of such a horrendous crime), yet the media and police report these things every day.

The missed point here is liability. If the person/people involved in the event desire privacy and the team makes it public they are liable for reputation damage. Just can't be done.
