Around the League - 2024-2025

Chicago's lineup is like a whos-who of some of our worst castoffs.

It's like watching Columbo.

All the have-been actors getting roles too big for them.

Remember when Mikheyev was actually a decent player? Good times

Chicago's lineup is like a whos-who of some of our worst castoffs.

And Taylor Hall, former Hart winner was a healthy scratch last night.

How does Bedard only have 3 goals in 18 games? Does anyone watch his games?

I'd have to think he's either not getting to the dirty areas or maybe he doesn't have enough speed to get the separation he did in junior.

He's having a tough year, but there is a lot of talent in that kid. 29% on faceoffs this year... he needs some work, and some help.

I'd rather watch Columbo.

Sammy against the Caps tonight in Vegas.

OV is getting the hat trick in the 3rd

How does a 400 year old ovechkin still contend for the rocket

Goat goal scorer man

Goat goal scorer man

The first half of last season was so bad for him.

He has 35 goals in his last 53 games since then with the 4th most even strength goals (22) in the league over that span.

OV is getting the hat trick in the 3rd

Good call.

I didn’t think Ovi would do it this year but man he’s on a mission.

28 to go and not even a quarter of the way through the season

Man the schedule maker must have been a Sens fan.

A rested Ottawa team gets to play Edmonton on the second half of a back to back their next game.

Followed by a rested Sens team getting to play Vegas on the second half of a back to back the following game.

 

[Antropovsky]

Engvall with another goal ... Roy is probably fuming!

Or he was sending a message to Engvall and Engvall received the message.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Sammy against the Caps tonight in Vegas.

Does he get back to back starts against former teams when Vegas visits or do we get Hill?

I'm guessing Hill for the Leafs.

I've had some dumb takes in my life.

But thinking Ovechkin wasn't gonna break Gretzky's record is looking be one of my dumbest. With only twenty eight more to go it's probably gonna happen this year. They should just re-name the Rocket Richard trophy after him once he retires.

Turns out I was pronouncing Liljegren's name right the whole time.

He's off to a pretty good start in San Jose. Good for him if he can keep it up. I'm still not convinced he'll ever amount to anything special.

But I've been wrong before in my prognostications.

Like thinking Shane Wright would ever amount to something. That whole 2022 draft is looking like a bust. There's still time to be proven wrong but anyone who thought Wright was gonna be a star is probably feeling a bit foolish right now.

The dumbest take on the entire internet is this one of mine though.

He has 36 goals in his last 53 games played which is a 56 goal pace over 82 games.

He needs 29 goals with 65 games left which is a 37 goal pace over 82 games.

I'm as big a Gretzky fan as it comes, but I've always been a huge Ovechkin fan too. So as much as I've never wanted anyone to beat Wayne's "big" records, I'm all for seeing this one go down at this point.

To see a record go down in your lifetime not once, but potentially twice, in a span of 30+ years, is pretty damn special.
