Around the League - 2024-2025 Part II

There has to be a 30 for 30 on Hellebuyck's Jekyll and Hyde act. This is just crazy

There's a game 7 today and puck drop is 7:10 central time. If you’re going to the game you’re not watching the derby anyway, so why not play it in the afternoon or at least a 6:10 start? The NHL seems to look for ways to keep people from watching.

 

[Jojalu]

St Louis, just play your best game and eliminate them. There’s already one too many Canadian teams in the 2nd round.

Why do you come to a Leaf forum where the majority are Canadians and root so hard against Canadian teams and promote the US all the time?

Have some feel

Leafs fans don’t want Canadian teams winning. At least they shouldn’t.

Huh? A 6:10 CT start would put it immediately after the big race. People will still be watching the ceremonies and wrapup
And an afternoon game would be going against all the undercard races


A primetime game is optimal anyway for viewership, so why would they then adjust to go up against the Derby?

That makes no sense.

Idgaf about other Canadian teams. Especially Winnipeg of all teams. Only Cdn team I want winning the cup is the Leafs.

 

[CincoHolio]

That makes no sense.

Leafs fans get dumped on 10-fold by fans of other Canadian teams, simply for existing. It makes a hell of a lot of sense. There is a serious inbalance of unwarranted hate towards the Leafs and it's fans so ya, are you just going to root for your primary abusers? fck that

I'm partial to Calgary but generally hate the rest.

Wonder how much trust the US will put in him at the Olympics?

They should keep him on a short leash with all the options they have. Oettinger, Demko, Swayman, Gibson, Stolarz, Woll, Wolf... USA has an embarrassment of riches between the pipes. Most of these guys could easily be Canada's starter.

Anyone bet on hockey or play DFS?
I had read recently how theres been alot of people that are calling into question the leagues charting of shots and feel some real shenanigans are going on.
I had Josh Morrissey on one of my DFS lineups last night and was sure he got a shot off with 2:35 left in the third period (Binnington made a pad save} but it was recorded as missing the net. That one debatable shot was the difference between cashing and not.

I don't hate Canadian teams.

Maybe Mon and Ott

Same. Calgary is the only other Canadian team I sort of like and would enjoy seeing win (in a year the Leafs don't.)

With the obsession over gambling I wouldn't be surprised at all if that's a reason for some of the wonky shot counts.

Yep alot of people now bet on individual player shots over/under.

This.

 

[ACC1224]

I don't hate Canadian teams.

I dislike all teams equally, borders don’t come into it.

 

[Damisoph]

I'd rather see any American team win the Cup over any Canadian team not named Leafs.

 

[Jojalu]

I like players on teams, which leads me to like a couple teams, or just not hate them as much.

I would prefer a Canadian team to win if it couldn't be the Leafs

 

[Buds17]

I tend to dislike (certain) Atlantic teams most of all!

 

[LeafEgo]

It's probably good for Hockey Canada to have strong teams and win cups. There's also the national rivalry dynamic where you simultaneously want to win and the others to lose - both are important.

I guess on the whole if it's not the Leafs I dont really care who wins. Whomever is best is fine.

Certainly helps set the floor on a longer term deal

getting pretty spoiled as hockey fans, Game 7 Tonight, and another one tomorrow night!

 

[fahad203]

That makes no sense.

It doesn. Every Canadian team fans taunts the leafs every chance they get. They love for us to fail at every corner.
As much as I want to see a Canadian team win, it has to be the Leafs

Winnipeg fans particularly.
