Around the League 44: The Three Thousand Mile Final

[HisIceness]

Good news for Florida is they can burn the tape. The bad news is game 5 is probably going to be close but if they lose that one, uh oh

Reminds me of when folks in 05/06 said if the Canes lose game 6, uh oh.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Very reminiscent of:



Philadelphia went on to lose a close Game 5 and then ended it in Game 6. Winning 4 in a row is a hard.

Does 97 now have the most assists in a playoff season with 32?

Edit…yes he broke it.

That’s kind of a big deal….

He's got 38 points this postseason. The only guys with more in a single season are named Wayne and Mario. Pretty special company.

What are they thinking...McD $18M, Drai $12M, Bouch $10M? That's insane, and ignores they're stuck with Nurse @9.5M...that'd be almost $50M for 4 players?

Ahhh.....the successful Toronto strategy. What could go wrong?

Not many people know it, but Alberta is actually short for Albert Ainstain.

Columbus with another HC change.

Vincent fired

 

[tomdundo]

I hear Bike Mabcock is available

Deff Janiels has shown great interest in the position.

It's either him or me, because I have accepted the job without being reached out for offer.

Columbus with another HC change.

Vincent fired

This is his chance. After a stint coaching in the KHL he is ready for his NHL redemption of his time in Calgary. Reunite him with Waddell.

…of course I mean Bob Hartley. Who did you guys think I meant?

 

[To Be Determined]

I wonder if waddell says
Mike Vellucci, come on down.

The jackets need someone for the kids. Vellucci was excellent with a pretty young checkers team that won a calder cup for waddell. The sharks locked up his other option with a similar pedigree.

I'm roughly 7/16ths serious.

Man, with every new jersey, the Ducks seem to be leaning in more heavily on straight up copying the Flyers

They're in Orange county and the owners want to use Orange. Other than that, it really doesn't have much of anything in common with the Flyers. Including the Orange pants, which the Flyers have never used at any point, even for a special event.

There are 32 teams and 6 primary/secondary colors. Occasionally, there's going to be overlap.

And on the merits, those are really good. 'Bout time, the Ducks have had terrible uniforms for forever now.

I mean, I don't get why they're not leaning more into the old green and eggplant elements they had but that's on their owner. These are a major step in the right direction at least, even if I never cared for that logo it's still iconic.

Yuck, to all of that

yea, it was one of the more unique color schemes and it just worked. I did see someone somewhere who had a concept they did with an orange base and like purple accents that looked really good. Are those red pants though, red & orange are kinda clashy?

Agreed. The egg plant colour was so unique. Wish they would have just kept the above logo in those original colours.

However I do like the orange helmets and pants. Something different.

Pants in hockey are severely under utilized. Wish the Canes would get some stripes or storm flags or something down the sides of the pants.

Hopefully even down to the awful nameplates the Flyers have now.

I think it’s the shade of orange that I’m not jumping up and down about… but the idea of it seems cool….

The original old school ducks stuff was just so freakin cool as well.. iconic and missed.. I appreciate what they are trying to do if the new ownership is driving the bus toward orange…. Too leaning toward brown orange in the photo I am looking at…. Maybe it’s my display that is offf and in real life it’s better…

This looks AI generated? I think fans are going to be disappointed by the real product after seeing this, if it's AI lol.

Damn bob

Swear to God if the Panthers choke this away they may never win
