Around the League - 2024-2025 Part II

[TheGreenTBer]

I thought I would copy here some posts from Oilers PGT that I liked very much.

- I like you line up with Empty Net. I will go with him too.
- It’s all coaches fault as they failed in developing defensive system that allows our goalie to not move.
- and Oilers haiku:
Powerless Peepee
Swiss Cheese Skinner stops nothing
More braindead defence

That haiku is great. They have some good posters there but all the good Oilers posters stay on the team boards because the main boards ones are totally insufferable.

I don't know if Barkov is fine. He got rocked pretty good. As for Tkachuk, maybe they are working him in slowly, but I think it's more likely that he simply wanted to be back in the lineup even though he is still injured. Ths is the same guy who played with a broken sternum.

Yeah that's probably it, and that's not good for them. They lost the cup cause they were broken.

So long as Chucky is scoring goals like some sorta ghost of Ovi with a broken leg, he's still a problem though.

So, Eastern Conference, four sweeps? I am here for it!

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Tampa Bay is so useless. Complete frauds. Big ass goal differential for what?

 

[LeafEgo]

Binner is back!

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Hellebuyck lmao

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Helley pulled. Rocking a solid .800 SV% through 3 games

Playoff form!

6-1 Blues are smashing the Jets

Total Jets collapse.

Fowler 5 points tonight, 7 for the series

Not bad for a 2027 2nd rounder

He's always been underrated imo.

Stats people hate him but he's been a minute eater in rough situations for years.

Blues got themselves a distressed Cam Fowler like the Bruins did with Hampus Lindholm a couple of years ago.

This is why it's so hard to judge players on perpetually bad/mediocre teams.

Doug Armstrong is what people thought Ken Holland was. Incredible hockey mind and after so many thought he was washed he pulled some rabbits out of his hat and rejuvenated his team this year, so impressive.

Was amusing watching the advanced stats junkies come out and immediately discredit Lindholm, saying he's "washed" or whatever narratives they cooked up. I'm sure Cam Fowler had a very similar picture. They were even saying we got a superior D in Giordano at that trade deadline.

You never, ever make full judgments on a D on a bad team.

Hell, even Benoit was a dumpster dive pickup from Anaheim - ended up being one of Tre's best moves so far.

The mockery thrown Benoit's way at last year's pre-season. Just petty and stupid.

My vibe on Tampa was waaaaayyyyy off for my hockey pool

Thankfully LA and Washington are doing well. Plus Kaprizov is giving me bonus points

Yep -- thanks for knocking me out of the single-elimination pool, Lightning. You're supposed to not suck at home!

Tampa is awful. I thought they’d make a series of it.

 

[stickty111]

Hellebuyck lmao

Jets may still win this series but it will be more because of their offensive attack. He's being a playoff no show again.

 

[TMLBlueandWhite]

So how long does Hagel get suspended for?

Should be out at least the rest of the series at least.

So two games?

 

[BallardEra]

Lots of Habs fans and media are complaining about the hits and physical game from the Caps in their series.

Caps board GDT made me burst out laughing.

He's not a Leaf, so nothing!
