GDT: Around The League 24/25. Parity, blessed parity.

[Stoneman89]

Let’s see who the Knights are playing tonight… oh, the Sabres. Never mind then.

I have to be quiet on this type of thing. I had an earlier post saying they were on a Duck diet that we had yet to feast on, and when we finally were served, the lowly bastards beat us and made us sweat bullets the next time we played them.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Holy shit Quick is abysmal.

Holy shit Quick is abysmal.

He’s had a pretty decent season actually.

JT Miller has 2 goals in his last 20 games. They were both empty netters….

JT Miller to JT Miller: “score some f***in goals ffs, your supposed to be a leader on this team!!”

This is how I picture him in the locker room.

 

[TheNumber4]

He got put onto ltr or whatever but backdated. Believe he's ready to play any game now, but he's looked like crap all year

Leafs are like 46-22 or something without him all time. The "MVP" lol

Said it once and and I’ll say it again, actually I said it many times:

The Matthews Hart win was a complete sham. He’s a fraud.

This is how I picture him in the locker room.

Lol. Hadn’t seen the sequel to Goon yet. That’s perfect.

 

[Stoneman89]

Not a lot of goaltending or defence in that Washington/Rangers game.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Mr. Game 7 buries the Devils.

Nice to see Todd McLellan get the call to the Wings. He's going to help the Wings organization moving forward I have to believe.

Wings puck movement looks really fast this game. Giving Jets all they can handle. Not sure yet, if it’s just new coach bounce, but so far the TMac Wings look good.

How did Knies fall to the second round in 2021? Kid has great offensive skills, is physical and is built like a brick house. 6'4 227 and can score, you'd think he'd be a top 10 pick.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

I like how Swayman’s contract negotiations were billed as the new market-setting bar for goalies.

After his performance this year the goalie market is probably ice cold now, probably even set the market back 5-10 years.

Shesterkin’s performance since signing that $11M AAV deal is also alarming.

Example A and B of why you just don’t go long term with big money on goalies.

Think the Bruins are in any different of a position this year if they had say Laikenen + Korpisalo + another $8M in their pocket?

The answer is obviously f*** the Leafs.

Eat shit Blues.

 

[DavidHasselhoffsFist]

The answer is obviously f*** the Leafs.

Leaf fans will be disappointed when we call him up to the big club

 

[oobga]

So out to lunch this year on other teams. Didn’t know TJ Pilsner and Elias Gretzky were potentially on the block and canucks had so much drama.

"The audacity of the Calgary Flames to agree to play a team on a back-to-back will never cease to amaze. They should have agreed to forfeit this game against the Preds as that would have been the honourable thing to do. But we all know the Flames would never do anything honourable"

-That Rejean Lemelin poster on Calgary puck probably.

 

[Arctic Fox]

Flames lost again. Right on cue to finish 1-2 spots outside of the playoffs.

 

[JordanGalhanth]

Watching the Flames lose like:

 

[McAsuno]

Lmao, keep it up flames. Too bad of a team to make playoffs but not bad enough to get a top pick. Keep drowning in mediocrity you f***ing idiots. Eat a bag of shit, CP lurkers.

 

[North]

Eat shit Flames.

It will be interesting to see what they do with his contract. They have already committed $4.5M for raises for Woll and McCabe. Marner will get $2-3M more. Tavares is having his best season in years so they could maybe get him for $6M if he gives them a big break. But Knies could easily get $6-7M in an offer sheet if someone was inclined to do so. He is the real deal. Will they bridge him or lock him up long term?
