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

WC2 looking like a turtle race in the west. Vancouver looks lost. Wouldn’t be surprised to see the Blues make it.

so...Cuck fans still chanting "JT Miller" at games? or have they finally turned on him too

dude is a cancer...I hope he's never traded

Cuck fans aren’t bright enough to realize that every one of their players names that they chant has turned to absolute shit. Hopefully they start chanting Hughes name next.

No no, not at games. Wrestling events!

Hughes will bolt to NJ to join his two brothers. #Bookit

You could see the JT Miller/Vancouver drama coming from a mile away. He was easily one of the most embarrassing players in the league on the most embarrassing team in the league(remember the Bruce Budreau bullshit) prior to Tocchet getting hired - aka, regular on ice tantrums, laughably lazy defensive efforts etc. He's the ultimate "good when the going is good, impossible when faced with adversity" type player, they should have stuck to their original plan and dumped him at the deadline when his contract was up.

Now the bumper year with a new coach has reverted back to normal, and Miller is back to being a drama queen on the Canucks soap opera.

Ironically Pettersson and Miller both seem to have the same problem, they just show it differently. Always remember back before Petey signed this contract, he told them he would only sign if the team was doing well.

When things get tough Pettersson turns into a ghost, and Miller turns into an asshole and starts throwing tantrums.

JT Miller is giving Pettersson a swirly as we speak.

 

[bellagiobob]

Quite simple, he’s quit on the team. At least he didn’t take a month off, abandoning his team, and then doing this. Oh wait…

Honestly they all look like they're just stick-waving and praying on that play. Schooled by talentless hacks, no less

They're done.

I do remember that actually, you're probably right about Pettersson on that front. Miller is much more demonstrative, so his antics carry further in the league compared to the quieter drama queen in Pettersson.

Might be an introvert vs extrovert type thing.

That whole team looks kinda Dubois-like right now.

No that was the WWE Survivor series lol

Anyone think the Nucks would have beat us last year if they just had Demko?

"If only we had Demko and that Casper Boeser who had 1 assists his last 5/6 games"!

 

[CanadasTeam99]

They Bronx cheered Demko tonight too. Then Demko gets ran at the end of the game when it was 5-1 already and nobody did a thing lol. Even Demko wasn't mad. Just got up like it was a nothing play.

He was covering the fan duel advertisement

A gem about an old friend from their PGT:

Desharnias - you get bet Jeannot won't be messing with any of our players after the thorough shirt tugging he got laid on him in this game. I guess we found another thing "big Daisy" can't do well. And who needed Zadorov anyhow.

Zadorov is ass (and missed by more than that one poster), but "big Daisy" sounds pretty appropriate. I think my cat with the same name is more ferocious.

It's well known seaweed can't fight, it can only tie you up.


I feel sorry for Vinny as I really like the guy, but you've got to love the Vancouver management believing they were the smartest guys in the room. "There's another level in Desharnais' game we can unlock." "Future partner for Hughes?"

No, he's a player who's great at in-zone defensive coverage, but has limited puck skills, and needs a safe, steady puck mover (like Kulak) next to him to cover for his weaknesses. And no, Brännström and Forbort aren't that.

At least he got his bag.

 

[Fishy McScales]

PDO normal this season and the Canucks are ass. Who knew?

[Stoneman89]

I think Tocchet is dead man walking. He's had his day in the sun over in Lotusland. The inmates are running the asylum over there, have been for quite some time, and it's near impossible to instill some discipline at this point.

 

[oXo Cube]

Tocchet is a crap coach IMO. He'll probably be the sacrificial lamb here because the other option is a franchise altering trade in a moment of extreme weakness.

But the real problem in Vancouver is that the playing roster just isn't that good and never was.

As much as I hate the Flames, I'd rather Flames and Blues make the WC than Avs and Nucks. Both Avs and Nucks fanbases are insufferable and to see them not make the playoffs would be glorious. Plus, can also see what dumbass narrative the PHWA will use to try to deny McDrai hart

Hahahahaha

The journey of a PDO jockey team that the fans insist aren’t PDO jockeys:

1 - holy shit were the best team in the NHL!! Contenders!!!! Deepest team in the league look at how everyone is scoring!

2 - let’s load up at the deadline, we’re contenders for sure!

3 - lose no later than the second round of the playoffs

4 - awards! Look at the awards! Jack Adams to our coach, one of the best in the league!

4 - no regression here, our players are uniquely better than the other PDO jockey teams! And our coaching is so good!

5 - look at all the moves we made in the off season! They’ll surely all turn up roses, because everything works out here!

6 - ugh slow start!

7 - what the f*** why aren’t all the players that shot the lights out last year scoring at an insane clip again!? Why can’t our goalie make a save!

8 - it’s all player X’s fault!

9 - a losing streak? WHAT THE f***! We might miss the playoffs!

10 - it must be the coach! Fire the coach! He forgot all the things he did to make magic last year and now he’s stupid!

Clockwork.

Unfortunately I can't see Colorado missing. That team isn't nearly as good as it's reputation, but it's definitely a lot better than the squads behind it in the standings.

Unless MacKinnon goes down for 30+ games. That might do it.

The Avalanche are what everyone always (and still) accuse the Oilers of being. Not much depth, ride their top players to too many minutes, and mostly only score on the power play.
