Around the League - 2024-2025 Part II

[Stephen]

For a supposed tough guy he sure likes to wait until a linesman or one of his teammates has created a buffer before throwing a few shots.

He’s always got a guy holding him back eh.

If Hagel was suspended so does Tkachuk needs to

I would hardly call my post “crying.” You miss my post after Tampa tied it?

No, didn't miss it. I just like how you guys love to draw the most negative conclusion as soon as possible.

 

[ULF_55]

For you stat gurus, how many "shots on net" are rebound shots as a percentage of overall shots?

Frequently I joke if you score on the first shot, it looks worse because shot clocks.

 

[stats1]

Tkachuk is truly a POS rat

I think it would be hard to justify anything else. But………..dops.

 

[Budz]

Wondering - if we play Florida. Gotta debate dressing Reavo. Let him effing pummel TK.

He's a rat. He knows his role and he's damn good at it. If he's well liked he isn't doing his job.

Guys like him are scum and exactly the type of scum you need at least some of in order to win. Winning isn't everything, but it is the only thing.

Tkachuk is truly a POS rat

Not even sure how his own team could like him.

 

[Jacquestrapless]

If Guentzel had acted like he was murdered and needed to be helped off the ice into the dressing room, decent chance there would have been a suspension.

Seems like just a fine, though

He’d run. He had his hands full against little Hagel at the four nations.

I’m talking about a no option just grab and feed.

Well yeah, I was reacting in real time. Florida jumped out to an early lead yet again and there wasn’t much reason to believe they wouldn’t dominate Tampa again after doing so with a depleted lineup the last two games and with Tampa being shorthanded and reeling going into this one.

Again, good for the Lightning. But I’m not gonna apologize for seeing a great Florida team pounce early on a limping Tampa one and think that there was a good chance they’d copy us and take a 3-0 series lead.

I think Florida will lose the next two and then win game 6, but Tampa will win this series in 7 games. The Leafs will then win an unexpectedly close series against Tampa. I don't think it will be like the 2023 series.

He is a rat who has as many goals as the 3 amigos.

Didn't you tell us Tkachuk would not return for the playoffs?

 

[Menzinger]

Tkachuk is getting a game

Yup, I was wrong. I didn't think they would rush him back.

 

[mikeyz]

Let's raise our glasses for the Leafs boys!! The only undefeated team left in the playoffs through 3 games!!!!!

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

 

[uncleben]

Worse than Hagel's imo
Should be a game by that standard

 

[stickty111]

Still a lot of the game to go, but Vegas could be in trouble. Would be quite an upset if Wild win the series.

 

[weems]

This might be the ultimate jinx but I'm not seeing that many teams that are looking impressive.

 

[mix1home]

You guys are so afraid of Florida you are already assuming this game is over. It isn't. Tampa will win this one.

I’m not afraid of any opponent. Not with this goalie, not with this legitimate defence and not with newly created third line. We literally have no holes. It’s very different team indeed.

Flrida added jones and marchand is gona be a tuff

I feel that both of them were kind of decremental to Florida. Those two are not the players whey used to be. Carlo who we snatched from Boston is 3x value to be frank.
