Around the League - 2024-2025

Their second PP unit hasn’t seen PP time all season and now they will actually get ice time if McDavid is out.

Connor always plays the full two minutes on the PP.

Great show of confidence to the guys on the bench lol

Wish the Leafs did that with their top players.

 

[Peasy]

Dont think McDavid will be out long. Would be jokes if the oilers have a really bad year and McDavid pulls the chute on his bestie Drais and decides hes had enough.

 

[TheTotalPackage]

Wish the Leafs did that with their top players.

Absolutely.

Still baffles me the Leafs' PP with the talent it throws out there doesn't click at Oilers-like level.

 

[3blizzard4]

The thing with Connor is that he is the on wheeling and dealing the whole PP. He isn't stationary while Drai is running around looking for a Connor tap in.

Then the guy is out again the next shift after the PP is done.

Leafs should do that with our top guys on the PP because we have a more rounded team than the Oilers. Our first PP unit can take a break after the PP is over.

Madden Monday: 'In a perfect world, I would not want Karlsson or Jarry to ever play for the Penguins again'

A rare Sunday off for the Pittsburgh Steelers gives us a chance to focus on the Penguins in this week’s “Madden Monday” podcast. Based on how poorly the team is playing, that’s not a good thing. The Pens are 3-6-1 in the first 10 games of 2024-25. They have lost

Trust the plan. Dubas dislikes doubters and you are spreading hate by propagating this dangerous information.

I can't believe that guy duped this organization.

Gold. I love the fact both players will be boat anchors for the next few years. Karlsson is finished. Only Dubas would take a flyer on him at this point.

 

[BallardEra]

Looks like desperation mode for the Pens:

The article says that they wanted to all stay together. They are in a bad spot. They do have 9 picks in this years draft so that might help.

But Crosby just re-upped. Karlsson has a few more years.

Possibly he can get Malkin or Letang to waive but I doubt it.

Noel Acciari is on their 2nd. line.

None of them are waiving. They will just ride out.
Would be funny if MAF ends up there.

I agree.

In a way I respect that the 3 of them want to finish their careers together. They brought 3 cups to Pit and they have earned that right.

Another part of me thinks that if they really wanted to help the Pens fans, they would waive and help Pit reload.

I understand your point, just don't see why they would want to do that until their final year of the contract right before TDL.

Interesting, lowest league save percentage .898, since 1993!

Pens are poorly coached. The roster is not good but Sullivan is making it worse. Unfortunatly Fenway loves Sullivan so he isn't going anywhere

 

[Peasy]

Don't think that is very unfortunate at all

 

[BallardEra]

Caufield has 17 goals in his last 19 games.

I love how the Penguins actually have Matt Grzelcyk now, after Dubas blew so many Leafs draft picks trying to find the next Matt Grzelcyk in the draft over the years.

Watching Ovi I’m not sure he’s going to break Gretzky’s goal record.

 

[1specter]

Caps look revitalized.

Good, hope he doesn't.

He had a slow start last season too .. he'll find a way. Likely not this season though.
