Around The League 40: As we barrel towards 40 teams

[AD Skinner]

Saw that the leafs are going to start wearing blue helmets with their white kits. I don’t have strong feelings about their decision to do that or the canes decision to go red with theirs, but I have to wonder if some people who did have strong opinions about the canes doing it will have those same strong opinions about the leafs doing it

Hey, remember when we took Hayden Fleury one spot ahead of William Nylander?

I try not to

I actually did like Fleury later on.

We have a good track record of that type of thing…

Zach Boychuk one spot ahead of Erik Karlsson

Jake Bean one spot ahead of Charlie McAvoy

Always fun to discuss

Dope, love me a goalie goal! I still wonder how his career would be playing out if he was still a Cane. His 23 games with a .932 sv% was impressive, also had a .920 sv% in the playoffs that year. He struggled in Detroit, but he was also playing on a young inexperienced Detroit team. Looks like he had two solid games with the Pens this year. Still kinda wish we got a longer look with him.

In an actual credible league this official would get fined and suspended for bullshit like this.

The refs never (or at least very very rarely) get involved in breaking up scrums. It’s always the linesmen.

Laine is healthy scratched

Golden Knights lost to Capitals, Flyers and Penguins. Damn.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Knights are returning to earth

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Devils could miss the playoffs and it honestly wouldn't surprise me all that much. Last year seemed like a bit of a fugazi to me. They have some great young core players and will be a contender again at some point but it'll take more time than many thought after last year.

 

[AD Skinner]

Alex Nedeljkovic with the shutout of the knights. Good for him. I totally understand why the Borg decided to move on from him but he seems like a good egg

They could, but I don't see it. They're fully capable as an overall roster of outscoring their issues. I really do think, though, that the transition from Severson and Graves to a 20-year old Luke Hughes has been far more difficult than anticipated this season, and it's causing them problems. Both of those guys really stabilized their group last year, especially Graves.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Severson isnt a good defender. just another fringe defender who had his defensive issues over shadowed by a team that hogs the puck.

 

[DaveG]

I wish him well.

there's very few players that come through here that I don't.

At the Panthers game. Saw McDavid score on a penalty shot. First I’ve seen since Sami Kapanen in the Civic Center.

One of two guys on that team you don't want to give a penalty shot. Also, just catching glimpses of it, it seems like it's a very chippy game as well.

Kane has been an asshole from puck drop. Something seriously wrong with that dude. He scored to put the Oilers up 2-0 then started pointing at the bench and chirping. Took 2 dumb penalties and now it’s 4-3 Panthers.
