Around the League - 2023/24

Also this is a serious question and not a joking matter, will San Jose win a game this year?

I mean, they got a 1 point vs us ...... its their only point of the season after 10 games

 

[MacKaRant]

Quinn Hughes 1G and 4 Assists. Give the Norris to the man now. Race is over.

Let's be serious, points against San Jose should only count for half.

Makar 1 point vs San Jose. Shouldnt count at all.

Nucks put up 8 goals on Edmonton and now 9 on San Jose. Nucks making the playoffs and the Oilers not would be so so funny.

10-0 Nucks now.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

I expect things will eventually regress to the norm, but nobody could've predicted Vancouver and Montreal being the 2 best Canadian teams 10 games into the season.

Vancouver is not that surprising IMO.

They've got a legitimately deep forward group. The defense is pretty rough and I dont think Demko is very good personally. They should be easy work in the playoffs, but they're built to be a good regular season team honestly.

Montreal on the other hand, yeah they'll regress.

 

[LOFIN]

More goals for Canucks tonight than for the Sharks entire season

 

[the_fan]

If Makar had a partner like Hronek, he’d be better than Hughes

Its so crazy.

Man seriously though when you actually look at the Sharks roster, it isn't even surprising. I had no idea they were this f***ing terrible. Like I knew they were a bottom 5 team, but legit I only count ~4 legit NHL caliber players on that roster at this point. Hertl and Duclair are basically the only two guys on that roster who are anything more thant depth level players.



If I'm Tomas Hertl I'm requesting a trade after tonight.

I'll take Fabian Zetterlund from them for Drouin.

 

[the_fan]

Couture probably faked injury so he doesn’t have to be part of this mess

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

I'll take Fabian Zetterlund from them for Drouin.

I want Hertl honestly. Would be an excellent 2C here.

People on the main boards including Sharks fans think he's a cap dump right now so even better! Get them to retain on him so he comes at a $7M cap hit, send them Manson + our 2024 1st and call it a deal.

This defense from Bouchard is simply inexcusable... He should absolutely be sitting for the Oilers' next game after that kind of effort. I mean what the f***.


Could you imagine the reaction if Byram pulled something like that here? Or Girard?

Marc-Andre Bergeron 2.0

Also this is a serious question and not a joking matter, will San Jose win a game this year?

Pre-breakout MacKinnon, rookie Rantanen, and maybe even prime Tyson Barrie on that 2016-17 Avs team were all significantly better players than anybody on the Sharks roster today outside of Hertl. That is a shockingly dismal roster, they're going to suck so bad they'll preemptively win next year's draft lottery, too.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Quinn was my first love. Just ask @Northern Avs Fan

 

[Alienblood]

Third contracts at ANY position mean you’re buying decline years for sure.

Devon Toews

Nuke?

Rants is next, possibly Makar if that what he wants.

Makar may be retired by then

Canucks for the Cup

 

[Alienblood]

f*** off Edmonton. Would it kill you to win a damn game for once and keep the Stars from climbing up the Central.

better to see the Oikers lose lol

Has Vegas played any good teams yet? Seems like they’ve been playing all the bad to mediocre teams and all of them at home so far

They are gonna spank the Avs.

Sit Byram and Makar and let them have this meaningless game

 

[UncleRisto]

Sam Gagner scored two for the Oilers. What year is it? Also,

Oh no, Edmonton.

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

Bouchard is the knock off version of John Carlson. He makes a good first pass, great shot, good offensive instincts, but even worse defensively. He’s also seen as cerebral, but his motor non-existent.

Oilers fans thought he was going to be one of the best in the league, but they’re probably coming to terms with what he is now. He needs sheltering. He’s not a guy you can rely on to carry a pairing let alone a defence.

 

[obZen]

Funny and yet sad.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Crazy that the Sens are being punished more severely than Chicago for covering up Sexual Assault.

What a disgrace.

They got rewarded Bedard instead of losing picks. (Joke joke)

But it's truly horrible and shows the priorities and attitudes the NHL has. Completely messed up .

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Huberdeau again 0 pt, -1, 1 SOG

Only 8 years at 10.5M left

Is he playing on purpose to be traded away or bought out?? I mean, it will probably work if he keeps this level up..

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

f*** off Edmonton. Would it kill you to win a damn game for once and keep the Stars from climbing up the Central.

Nah, rather see Edmonto lose.

Never understood why Hertl stayed there in the first place. I guess the offer was too good. It's nice place to live I guess.
