Around the League - 2023/24

[Linds]

Detroit's season post-mortem should be interesting....

Yzerman hasn't been a very impressive GM for them so far, to say the least.

Looks like he got scared of becoming the next Ottawa/Buffalo so he rushed the rebuild and signed a boat load of older UFA's. The result is still no playoffs and finishing in no man's land, the worst place in hockey.

You love to see it

This should be 6-3 Calgary right now but Pickard is the only reason its not. Oilers getting outshot badly after playing last night. Amazing what a competent goalie can do.

Would love to see Calgary win

Aint happening. Pickard has been solid. If the Oilers had Fourgiev in net Calgary would have won this game in the first period.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Oilers beat Calgary in a game they would have lost in the first period if not for their back up goalie. Must be nice. f*** Fourgiev.

 

[Pokecheque]

He ain't wrong but he also doesn't need to plaster it on Twitter

Oh no he’s definitely wrong. Quite literally wrong. He’s picking a very weird hill to die on.

 

[Pokecheque]

Guess he doesn’t like woman sports and tweeted a few things and now the mob is making him pay for it.

Oh please, don’t make him into a martyr. If he had just made one or even two arguments against women in sports that would be one thing but he decided to make it into a whole goddamn campaign. I’ve no sympathy for him detonating what little relevance he has outside of the answer to the trivia question “Who was taken after Sidney Crosby?”

He should be allowed to say this if he believes it. Without repercussion.

The people he works for are free to do what they want just as he is free to say what he wants.

It's literally personal taste. That's like saying someone who doesn't like seafood is wrong.

 

[Pokecheque]

Brady Tkachuk is a really lousy captain. Someone that thin-skinned should not be the guy wearing the C. Only captain I think might have been worse in recent memory was Andrew Ference in Edmonton.

 

[Pokecheque]

It's literally personal taste. That's like saying someone who doesn't like seafood is wrong.

No, he’s trying to say no one cares about women’s sports at a time when viewership for these games is breaking records and exceeding those of men’s games. And then when he gets confronted he’s literally challenging others to name the players. That has nothing to do with “personal taste.”

Flyers fighting for dear life are trailing 2-0 against CBJ

Torts may have lost the room already

lol Torts is such a moron. Tanked a Cinderella season. The difference he makes up as a good coach is completely negated by his insistence on being above everyone else he works with


He 100% caused this

You boys must be mistaken, I've been told repeatedly that players love him and he's the only thing keeping the Flyers relevant rather than an egomaniacal contrarian actively trying to sabotage them to make himself look good.

I mean it's not an opinion but a fact, that without Torts the Flyers would be a lottery team.

[UncleRisto]

This is why Twitter had a strict character limit.

 

[Bender]

You know he won't. He'll keep making 3-4 points a game without breaking a sweat and it's going to be frustrating. That's just who he is.

In the East Isles vs Rags in round 1 is now a strong possibility.

Imagine Roy pulling the upset...


Yea and in the East Isles vs Rags in round 1 is now a real possibility.

Imagine Roy pulling the upset...

I can imagine it...twice

 

[Bensch88]

Buffalo is unbelievable shit. Conceding 3 goals from just 6 shots against Red Wings

And now Bo gets his ass beaten up....

 

[McMetal]

I want the Blues to miss the playoffs by exactly five points, so the three losses against San Jose are the decisive factor.

Monday morning in the classroom going to be a rough one?

There is petty and then there is this.

It's literally personal taste. That's like saying someone who doesn't like seafood is wrong.

You either didn't really read what he said or you're misconstruing what he said to fit whatever argument you're trying to make here.

If he had said "I don't care about women's sports", he mightve gotten a bit of pushback but it would've went away. But that's not what he said, is it?

He's said multiple times that nobody cares about women's sports, people only pretend to, then challenges people to name players. This is, as Poke said, LITERALLY incorrect since viewership is smashing records right now. So no, your comparison about seafood doesn't work at all. It's actually really silly.

I personally could not care less about women's sports. I barely have enough time to follow men's sports. If someone were to call me a terrible person and try to get me fired for saying that, THEN your seafood analogy would work. You do see the difference, right?

So, SLC, Houston, Atlanta, and who's the 4th?
