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

Eric Francis calling the season a great success is hilarious. Only the Flames can be eliminated and finish in 17th place and that be considered a success.

That said the tried really really hard all year.

Lol
And ‘they never quit. Never gave up on each other and never said woe is me. Just a passionate group who were right there together to this point in the season’.

Hrudey took two lines of copium in the intermission. He is waxing poetic about every little thing they do. Thinking about it, his hokey, not quite pro-level commentary makes him a perfect color guy for that team.

They will hang this from the Saddledome ceiling in the fall.
 
Have to give the Flames some credit. Junk roster. Those guys work their bags off.

Unfortunately (or Fortunately) no talent and going to be stuck in the murky middle for years.
The curse of mediocrity.

East is interesting finish. Montreal have blown what looked to be a playoff spot. Comes down to last games now. Columbus wins and Habs lose and Jackets get the last spot and Montreal gets tears.

I'll cheer for tears in this one. Jackets are a more interesting club. At least score some goals. I fall asleep trying to watch the habs chew pucks.

Plus the new arena built on same flood plain and pretty much guaranteed to flood like the Sewerdome.

Nice that civic management is f***ed in other places as well. Flames probably still stink by the time the new arena is open.

Jackets are a feel good story too. Plus I want the Habs to regret not putting Demigod in the shootout.
 
Did they not? The guy was fire in that game. First game in his NHL life and he's the best player on the team. What 3 shooters could you put out instead. I'm counting Caufield....ummm.

Caufield, Suzuki, and Laine… That will sting if they lose the next one.

Apparently he was going to be the fourth shooter, but Chicago beat them before he had the chance…

Whenever I watch Suzuki is completely botching everything. I'm like a curse to that club. Should watch more often.

Caufield makes sense anyway.

Didn't the Habs lose the lead in that game as well. I'm a lazy f*** tonight. I could check myself. ;)
