Around the League - 2024-2025

Was reading the post game of the Habs loss last night. Maybe I'm over-reading, but it kinda sounded like Montembault was trashing his own team a bit.

>>We went back to the way we were playing a couple games ago. They were waiting for us, and they made us pay for it,” said goaltender Samuel Montembeault, who was pulled after conceding five goals on 25 shots.

"We turned the puck over and made some mistakes in coverage in our own end. We’re the ones that caused this by playing badly in the second and it’s a shame because I think I was doing well in the first period.”<<

"We caused this by playing badly but I think I was doing well in the 1st"? Not very team-like and comes across a selfish thing to say if you ask me. Like I said maybe I'm reaching but....

Agreed but nobody is outbidding them so what's to be scared of?

I think they dread the idea of losing him for nothing.

I’m sure if Laine was healthy he’d would be able to turn that team around

Time to have that hard talk about the woeful Penguins and Sidney Crosby's future

Things were looking grim in Steeltown even before the weekend, when the Pens lost two home games by a combined score of 10-1. Pittsburgh has now lost a league-high nine games by three-plus goals and its minus-34 goal differential is the worst in the league by seven goals.

Why?

Why?

Final piece to the puzzle....






so that they finish 31st overall.

Another useless, random trade that just weakens the asset cupboards even more. What is the point of trading a future 4th for a guy that won’t make a difference. Dubas is such a clown. Pittsburgh should’ve started rebuilding a few years ago

Non sense. They will finish 32nd.

4th round pick three drafts out? Probably a waste of a pick. But also a reasonable enough gamble to see if anything comes of it at that price.

Atlantic is shit right now. Panthers are 12th in the league, after them it’s Buffalo at 16, Boston 17, TB 18, and the rest of the usual bottom feeders at the bottom. This is our chance. 2021 all over again. Leafs need to finish 1st and get to at least the ECF.

I liked Tomasino his draft year. Seems like Nashville always hated him and didnt give him much of a chance. Wouldnt surprise me if he finds his game like several other former first rounders Nashville has shipped out.
