Around the League - 2023/24

[The Kingslayer]

I should just start betting on Hughes Petey and Miller scoring. Seems like free money at this point

It is. That PP is insanely good. I wish the Avs PP was half as good. The biggest difference is movement and passing. The Avs PP sucks at both.

Its wild that Tyler Bertuzzi has no tape on his stick anywhere lol

Funny I was just thinking I wish the Avs moved themselves and the puck around on the PP like that

I also wish Mack was as good defensively as Petey

I wonder if I could get rich betting against the Canucks making the playoffs. They are the biggest paper tiger since the 2013-14 Avs.

Nucks are making the playoffs if they dont have any major injuries to their star players. How far they go in the playoffs is another question but if Demko catches fire who knows.

Finally, thank you! I actually expect they will make the playoffs. Great top 6, pretty good bottom 6, amazing top pair, awful bottom 4 D, good goalie having a career year, Wild not long term sustainable PDO - the 23/24 Canucks are the 13/14 Avs

For whatever reason that team has long been Vegas kryptonite. I don’t even care if we’re a contender or not. I hope they make it just to take out Vegas

People don't talk enough about the Islanders. The f***ing suck, all their players are way past their prime and all of them are still signed for 15+ years.

They are in worse shape than the Pens and Caps.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Nucks so hot even their SECOND PP unit is scoring and how come we couldnt get Pius Suter? I liked that dude when he was in Chicago.

Only good thing going on there is Sorokin

In Lou's world players start regressing at 39.

We couldn’t have Pius Suter because there is an unwritten rule that the Canucks must have the least Canadians on their roster

Vancouver speed giving the Leafs all kinds of issues.

Leafs scored 2 goals on 5 shots?

 

[GeoRox89]

Shots 16-8 but goals 2-2, would not have guessed it was the Canucks who had outshot the other team based on their puck luck this year. Leafs look awful though

 

[The Kingslayer]

Leafs scored 2 goals on 5 shots?

Lol yah. Nucks unlucky a bit on both goals. Leafs have had 6 penalties

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

This has all kids of odor on it

 

[The Kingslayer]

Ovi scored tonight. Thats good to see.

 

[GeoRox89]

Omg Demko with a HDSV% almost a full .1% over 3rd place but Canucks fans lose their minds when people explain their play is unsustainable. I really do still think they’re a playoff team especially in the Pacific

We been there lol. We can tell them first hand.

Damn maybe we should have traded for Sean Monahan lol

Funniest thing about it is I still lived in Van back in 13/14 and there was no end to Canucks fans telling me how unsustainable that Avs team was. Now suddenly when it’s them the rules no longer apply and that with advanced stats having only gotten better and more refined in the last decade

 

[HockeyFan100]

Lol the Nucks got a taste of their own medicine. I seem to recall the Avs losing a lot of games in 2014 when they actually outshot their opponents

 

[The Kingslayer]

Oilers win and Avs get trounced. Horrible night.

 

[BaconNater]

I hope we all had fun getting our jabs in at the Oilers because they're about to start winning and the Avs will become the Oilers

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Oilers win and Avs get trounced. Horrible night.

True that.

 

[UncleRisto]

I did, thank you.

Oilers to win the cup is the best odds you can get right now. Just remember to close out the bet when the playoffs start.

I don't know about anyone else but I've really enjoyed the solid start the 2024 Stanley Cup Champion Edmonton Oilers have made to their season, and I am sure it will continue.
