Around the League - 2023/24

My unpopular opinion… goalies knocking their own helmet off should be a delay of game penalty.

WTF is Keefe doing??

 

[henchman21]

WTF is Keefe doing??

Tying the game

 

[sethro109]

Okay. Goalies really are just worse nowadays.

Smart move.

 

[Avs_19]

Roy would be proud of Keefe.

Jake Allen is brutal lol . Those are some Hunter Miska goals against.

Have you lived the 80s?

Both of these goalies, Allen and Samsonov have made some of the stupidest decisions I've ever seen. Both of them wanna poke the puck waaaaay too much.

I was only 2 in the 80s. Most of my goalie memories are from Roy, Hasek and Brodeur era. So my opinion is probably a little skewed. But players are supposed to evolve from the previous generation. Not go back in time.

 

[henchman21]

I think goaltending has gone downhill some, but more of it is that talent has just jumped massive and players can pinpoint the exact spots to sneak pucks through… and systems are designed to hit in the common rebounds. The pendulum will swing back to defense at somepoint, but we probably have a good 5-7 years of high scoring hockey.

 

[ASmileyFace]

Lol this game has been awesome, despite the bad goaltending

 

[BaconNater]

Is there any boxscore apps better than the new NHL app? What a bad update

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Bedard might be hurt

I was going to post about this at some point, but the NHL app update is straight garbage. So hard to find player stats. The old one was perfectly fine.

The failure to produce an elite Canadian goaltender since Price (18 years since he was drafted) hasn’t helped

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

You know Chicago will tie this up. So we miss the start of the Avs/Kings

Yeah it has been known for a while too. I recall hockey Canada freaking out on this in 2011.

Remember when Carter Hart was going to be that guy. Who the hell going to be the guy for Canada at the next olympics? Binnington?

Oilers PP looked bad there and nucks gain energy from it as Garland scores off a sick sauce from Pettey

I might die a little inside if we get to the point where Stuart Skinner is on a Canadian World Cup or Olympic team. Oilers fans will never shut up. That’s how rough it’s getting that he might legitimately end up in the 3 picks in a couple years

 

[The Kingslayer]

Nucks looking damn good against Edmonton.

 

[henchman21]

Nucks looking damn good against Edmonton.

That’s the team I think could steal a playoff spot. There’s talent just gotta get past the BS.

Boeser hatty. 4-0. Campbell pulled
