Around the League 2024-25 season

[DoktorJeep]

First two shots of the season for the Caps were from Dubois and Roy, in that order.

Pierre is the C on the Caps #1 PP. Gets the primary assist on Carlson’s goal right off the face off.

The Devils are ruining another prospect by letting him develop while contributing in the NHL, and not making him pay dues at the AHL level. First it was Hirschier, and then it was the Hughes brothers, throw in Mercer and now they are up to it again with Seamus Casey.

Don't these guys know that only the McDavid's of the world don't need AHL time?

I've seen this guy play a million times, he's a nice player, will have a great career but he's no Brandt Clarke, but he sure is being developed better.

Sure he will, let's see if he plays when Pesce and Hughes are back though....nothing like ignoring context.

An assist by osmosis
-1
16% on faceoffs
failed backcheck on 2-on-1, put his head down and pumped his legs real fast to 'show effort'
with nearly 70% ozone starts and PP1 time

we're so back baby

Connor McMichael is a beauty though, should load him up with some empty calorie points

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Oilers look like dog shit.

 

[Herby]

Werenski
Johnson
Fantilli
Compher
Copp
Larkin
Casey

Damn, I should have played DFS today.

Playing McDavid and Draisaitl almost 24 minutes each in the second game of the year against Chicago seems not smart

 

[kingsfan28]

It's started already...

Seamus Casey is a good story, made the team as a 7th dman. With the injuries to two of their top dmen, he got to play. So where does he go when they return, the pressbox or the AHL?

Oilers look like dog shit.

They basically have a Cup hangover but without the Cup.

 

[Johnny Utah]

If Skinner stinks, then the Oilers are screwed. The D is awful and been awful for years. It probably can't be fixed because of the amount of money Nurse is paid and Bouchard will be paid.

Kane is out also. He provides something Skinner, Arvidsson don't provide.

 

[Schrute farms]

Todd-ster is waiting by the phone -- i'd love to see that happen.

No its really smart. Keep doing it!....... Dont help them out.

Play nurse 25 a night too

Well he has just struck again today, so if he keeps this up they may have some decisions to make.

Do you think, even with injuries that this organization would have given a 20 year-old rookie defenseman with 0 AHL games this kind of opportunity? Ofcourse not, they would have kept him in the minors and given the opportunity to someone like Englund or Burroughs until Casey had paid his dues and learned the system.

Casey handled by LA is signed after his freshman year, never has the dominant sophomore year he had last year, and is probably at best about half-way through his "dues paying" development with the Reign, which at the end of it would result in yet another bland system player that is not as good or dynamic as the player the Devils are likely to get from to a traditional and meritocratic development process.

Another point for Casey.
Casey for Norris!

Kinda like Nemec.....same organization too......

This is savage.

Loaded like a freight truck coming down the highway!

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

You could see everyone a little confused...."do we fight over a clean hit if it's the hitter that gets clobbered?"

Barzal didn't want the Mak smoke.

 

[Steve Zissou]

Damn, who's cutting onions in here!?

LW spot left open... 13 seconds tick off the clock...



Well done, NHL. Thank you.

 

[bouncesonly]

Nice touch by the league to have Columbus's home opener against the Stanley Cup Champions.

 

[Steve Zissou]

GOALIE GOAL! GOALIE GOAL!

Michkov 2 PPG first 10 min v Edmonton - can they get another coach fired early in the season?
