Around the League - 2024-2025 Part II

I still cannot believe that Ovechkin is now only a dozen goals away from breaking the record. One of the most epic 39-year old seasons anyone could have is being provided by him this season.

Has anyone told him about Gordie?

Ray Ferraro made a good observation about our players, especially Marner and Matthews at the Four nations.

He said he liked how they played a bit more direct and that at that level you don't really have the ability to slow the game down and everything needs to be fast and up the ice. The speed of the game is just way to fast and that time and space is taken away, you can't be messing around with the puck and need play less east/west.

Sounds similar to the style Berube wants them to play

Swayman looks like a completely different goalie this season, and not in a good way.

That looked bad for Hathaway.
A taste of his own medicine I suppose.

f***ing Florida teams

 

[BallardEra]

Oilers

 

[Metroid]

f***ing Florida teams

They both should be in a division without any Canadian snowbird help.. annoys me so much they're in a division with north teams. Leave em down south with th rest and see how long they last in the NHL.

Soilers had one job to do and failed miserably.

No training camp, lost his bestie, has clashed with ownership for two years and Boston as a team isn't very good.
Could see him asking for a trade within the next two years

Entertaining game in Florida. Both teams D just love giving the puck away in their own zone. I think Draisaitl yelled at Skinner while they were leaving the ice at the end of the game lol

Also, the Wings are frauds like last year. Got absolutely dusted by the Jackets tonight, and it should've been worse than a 5-2 score

Pastrnak 14 goals, 31 points in his last 16 games. He's doing it playing with not much at all either. I hate boston but credit where credit is due that's pretty monstrous.

Just as the Atlantic seemed like it was struggling, Tampa and Florida become juggernauts again

It'll be a race to the finish line for A1

I do not want a matchup against the Jackets. They're going to make it hell for whoever gets them in the first round. We also seem to struggle against them in general.

Game results.

NYI beat Boston.... I'm mixed on this.... Happy Boston loses, not thrilled NYI can pretend not to be sellers yet.
TB beats Calgary... ugg.. two more points
Florida beats Edmonton... ugg, ahead of us in points, but played two more games.
Columbus beats Detroit... Columbus are scary man, I don't want to have to play them in the first round. Go Detroit, I'd rather play them. Columbus wins this game... ugg.
Montreal wins against.. perfect.. make a run for that 10th OA pick again.
Carolina beats Sabres.. That running punchline... the Sabres... Rantanen picks up two points.

Man that Bouchard can really shoot the puck.

He regularly tops 90 mph. Accurate too. Considering he's slightly crook eyed that's incredibly impressive.

I'd trade the entire farm and half the roster for him.

Apparently he wants $11M a season. The same as Marner makes currently. I don't think Bouchard is worth that much.

But I don't think Marner his asking price either.

If you're gonna overpay one of them I'd prefer Bouchard. He'd fill a real need for this team. Marner is a good player but has been made redundant with the emergence of Nylander the last couple years.

I'll take the 1RHD with a booming point shot over the 1RW who floats wristers from the blue line every time.
