Around the League - 2023/24

[ABasin]

Moser isn't any better either quite frankly. I can tolerate him because at least he's a homer for the team I like but honestly he's probably one of the worst guys around as well and usually I just hope to get the other teams broadcast at this point in a lot of games. Or the national broadcast.

Moser is terrible. I've never liked him even one bit. Prefer to put the TV on mute and play McMetal's playlist.

Last year I said Tage Thompson is a good candidate for regressing, and although it’s very early, but the dude has 1 point in 6 games.

I never get tired of being right. Now Thompson can always go off and start producing at high rate again and make me look stupid, but for now I was right

You and I are almost never wrong all the time every time.

You’re not wrong about that

 

[AvsGuy]

Moser is the worst. He's so inarticulate/bordering on incoherent at points in the broadcast it reflects poorly on whoever hired him. The slightest bit of excitement in the game and his vocal expressions just go completely off the rails.

is Broberg actually playing 4th line wing for the Oilers like this site suggests??

if so ouch especially with some of the players taken with picks shortly after him (Zegras, Boldy, Caufield)

Oh and back on the subject of the Sabres, the only thing worse than a shitty head coach IMO is a shitty goaltending coach. I’m not even sure the Sabres have a full time guy but whoever they got they should get rid of because he seems to bring out the worst in his netminders.

Is Comrie supposed to be a good backup? I’ve heard good things about him but every time I watch him he sucks. That second Montreal goal last night was just horrible. Gives up a ridiculous rebound on the softest of shots and can’t corral it.

I seriously thank God we finally got and kept a legit goalie coach, and they even gave him an assistant to go down to the AHL.

We can't draft goalies for shit, but they do get better and make obvious improvements consistently here.

That is exactly why I'm excited about Cartwheels.

Levi sucks and Comrie sucks, why are they refusing to play UPL again? Is it because he also sucks?

like , He's better than the other 2

Ducks healthy scratching Leo Carlsson for load management is an odd decision

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

So, maybe Girard doesn't actually have as much of a muffin shot as folks here think? His shot is just as hard as Byrams and harder then Fox's lol.


Makar really is just a generational guy. Look at his size compared to all the other guys towards the top with him.

He was probably shooting the puck downhill with a heavy wind at his back or something

NHL rescinding ban on Pride Tape | TSN

The NHL confirmed Tuesday it has rescinding its decision to prevent players from using Pride Tape on ice this season.

www.tsn.ca

Hopefully the media circus doesn't go away. I want the NHL and all the players who opposed pride night/tape to be asked about it constantly.

I guess he just needs to work on his accuracy.

Someone in the NHL probably got reminded that banning the pride tape kinda goes against the rulebook:

Rule 10 – Sticks
10.1 Player’s Stick – (see 10.2 for goalkeeper) The sticks shall be made of wood or other material approved by the League, and must not have
any projections. Adhesive tape of any color may be wrapped around the stick at any place for the purpose of reinforcement or to improve
control of the puck.

I haven't been watching the Oilers much but from what I've heard, hes really struggling out there

NHL Edge is smooth, I didn't realise that Jojo has faced the most dangerous shots in the league. Georgiev is in 4th. Supposedly Avs are the 9th fastest team in the league (above us are the Jets, Canes, Kings, CBJ, and others). Our team has the most 20+ and 22+ mph bursts in the league though.

JFresh got it wrong, he labelled it in mph, but in reality it is km/h.

There’s no one left that can really hammer the puck anymore with chara and Weber gone. Cale shooting harder than Parayko is just bonkers

That's not good. Or sustainable.

Not to mention the fact that it's on Frozen Frenzy night AND we could've been treated to a Carlsson vs. Fantilli night (I get that these sorts of things don't usually result in a good game but it still is a fun narrative) and they decide to keep him out. Like...WTF are we doing here?

Someone at the League offices should make a phone call to the Anaheim brass pronto.

Are they gonna do this with him all season? Dudes played two games… maybe he’s still recovering from whatever injury he had and they’re just using this as an excuse

 

[dmac7719]

I bet he's learned to visualize that DeBrincat is trying to block the shot, every time he shoots.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

wrong thread

 

[Chiarelli]

I think we should all come up with conspiracy theories about where @henchman21 has been the last little bit.

I’ll go first: Mike Babcock took him for lunch and never returned his phone

Avalanche extra. Even muffin shot moves quicker.

Robot aliens or something like that
