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

I think Dallas will lose to the Avs. Have the firepower, but a little timid, and I don't like their defence. I like Tampa in the east. Reloaded nicely.

Last I heard Heiskanen is not expected back for first round. Thats a big blow for Dallas in itself and with the injury putting him in earlier what effectiveness would there be from him. He's probably not back to where he can be till next season. Dallas D without him just isn't the same. Offense either.

I’ve watched other Kings games and his issue remains. Consistency. He doesn’t bring it game in and game out.

Sure. But he's locked in medium term at 3.5M per and not sitting on it either. Last season was Foegeles best season until this one. Some players take longer. Games he's on he's quite a handful and I take him any day of the week over what we're getting from Arvid at higher sticker price.

Stars are hoping this is more than an April Fools prank.

He’s the real MVP for the Avs. It’s not a coincidence that Mackinnon has been at the top of the league in scoring since Makar arrived.

Kinda feels like other teams just letting Ovechkin score

Still very much in the hunt for 1st in the division and the west. Will be a big difference getting Colorado or a Minnesota MASH unit in the 1st round.

Kuzmenko playing on a decent team for the first time ever. He's looking good. That might have been a player to take a swing at. I kinda thought Kings were quiet at TDL but this has turned out into a player.

he had 25 points in 29 games in Calgary last year faded..
74 points with Vancouver in 2022-23 then faded...

seems like a trend for him

He's a Russian player figuring out when he wants to bring it. But guy obviously very talented. Late bloomer but playing very well again.

Given that this player is somebody that plays his best with new teams isn't TDL a good way to get him? Oilers got Samsonov one year like that.

This is the Kuzmenko special. Go to a new team, play well for new team, dissolve after the shine of the new team wears off. Did the same thing in Van and Calgary, and even the Flyers to a degree.

He's a good deadline rental add because you get the pop, but not the commitment when he goes south.

Will be interesting to see how he plays in his first playoffs.

Sounds like Andrei Kovalenko

Ovechkin within 2

 

[FlameChampion]

Toronto/Florida game has like 1 PP each. Wild/Rangers has 2 PP each.

Washington game they have 4-5 PP each. League is crooked.

Anyone see Chatfield throw Mcmichael down on the ice during a fight? He got his leg behind Mcmichaels and judo threw him down, the back of his head hit the ice. Super lucky he was seriously injured and they should f***ing suspend Chatfield for that, way too dangerous

Vancouver playing like a 3,000,000 six hundred square foot bungalow.

Would be different if they had Demko. Oh wait…
