Around the League 45: The Stanley Cup is in God's Waiting Room

[DaveG]

What annoys me is that you KNOW they're going to turn it around, and it'll happen before the Canes play either one. I'd love for this team to be able to take advantage of the terrible goaltending they're both currently getting.

or when they play us is when they'll turn it around much like Edmonton did last season

 

[Stickpucker]

Didn't we get to clap Edmonton like 8 to 1 before the turd around last season?

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

You had Avs and Oilers as 0-6 and minus 22GD combined after 6 games, you win todays NC lottery.

I read one Oiler's fan state something like: "It's still pre-season. The season doesn't start until we fire the coach". LOL

Yep, we were the last team to play them *before* they went on their run. We beat them 6-3 at home. They rattled off 8 straight wins after that, including one against us.

yep, we were in control of that game 5-1 at one point, and then they just flipped a switch and dominated play in the 3rd in that game. We had a 5-2 lead entering that period and it still felt like we were lucky to hold on from what I remember from being there.

Goalie goal for the Wild!

Michkov has scored his first NHL goal. We're all doomed

On another note, they'll get better but man the Oilers are really struggling right now

He could be the next Jackson Blake

 

[HisIceness]

He could be the next Jackson Blake

Unfortunately Blake now has some catching up to do because Michkov now has 2

Yeah, I'm watching too. The second goal was much more impressive than the first. Kid's good.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Lol, Oilers scored and get it waived off immediately for goalie interference.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

The Oilers have more disallowed goals this season than actual goals.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Oilers are back, baybeeee. I mean, they tied the game against a mid team or something.

not that I'm really worried about Philly just because of Michkov but damn why the hell did all those teams have to let him fall to the Metro

from what someone on here said it sounded like he gamed the system to avoid going to Anaheim, Columbus, San Jose, and Montreal due to the dysfunction of those franchises.

Yes, Friedman has mentioned it multiple times. It would not be the first time across sports that a guy used the leverage he has to manipulate his landing spot. He had the leverage of the KHL and the 3 year contract. Apparently he had extra/more meetings with the Flyers than other teams and let them know he specifically wanted to be a Flyer. I haven't heard it mentioned what he told other teams, but I'm sure they got the picture of where they stood. As I mentioned that last time this was brought up, any team could have called his bluff. I'm betting he would have still come over. But not every team wants to deal with a potential gamble and headache with a top 5 pick.

And hey, it cuts both ways, since the Flyers blew their relationship with another highly touted prospect last year. We can look on the postitive side with that.

I saw the Russell Brand commercial for that product on Twitter at some point yesterday and it seemed pretty obvious he didn't give a shit about the product and he knew what he was saying was bullshit and was even being presented as bullshit. There are a lot of mind numbingly dumb folks out there. I wonder if Tavares started using this before or after Corey Perry scrambled his brains a few years ago.

You mean the Russell Brand that was accused of sexual assault multiple times that's suddenly taken a HARD turn into DEEP Christianity might be deceitful? I refuse to believe it.
