Around the league part 2

[AbsentMojo]

EDM has 5M committed to Cal Campbell for 4 more seasons... and is off to another stellar start w 4.25 GAA in 4 games. That is one big boat anchor for that roster

 

[johnjm22]

Seattle loses in OT.

Calgary loses their 4th straight.

Oilers about to lose.

It's been a pretty good night.

 

[Fishhead]

Edmonton doesn't suck. Far from actually.

They're just having a rough go of it right now.

Maybe not total suckage, but they had a lot of guys who had career years from their previous highs last year: McDavid (+30 points), Draisaitl (+18), RNH (+36) , and Hyman (+29).

Odds are maybe one or two at most repeats that. Plus they live and die by the PP - 7 of their 17 goals are on the PP.

I know McDavid is out, but the Oilers have looked absolutely lifeless tonight

The year before last they went to the conference finals.

Shutout for Quick! Love it. Hope he racks them up and pads his career stats. Deserves it.

 

[Jungle Boy]

Really happy for Quickie getting this one against the Oilers

They probably are depressed thinking we had all had career seasons and couldnt even get to the conf final

 

[chris kontos]

59th career shutout for quick
The most ever by a us born goaltender
More than richter. More than eddy balfour .more than barasso

 

[johnjm22]

Quick looked very good..

Relaxed. Confident. Efficient movement. Not overplaying. Making it look easy.

 

[Steve Zissou]

God I love watching The Oilers lose.

They are a completely different tram without McJesus.

Oilers are at the very bottom of the league along with SJ.

 

[johnjm22]

If Vegas wins tomorrow, EDM will be 13 points out of first.

Their chances at winning the Division are pretty much over only a few weeks into the season.

 

[Fishhead]

The year before last they went to the conference finals.

They did, but that's fading fast. Their defense is atrocious. Last year was their best shot, I think.

Ekholm - 33
Kane - 32
Hyman - 31
RNH - 30

They are relying a lot on 30+ year olds, which doesn't really work. And they are tethered to them for a few years.

That, plus paying 7.6M over the next 3 seasons to a goalie who's not so slowly sliding in Cal territory and a question mark who broke apart against the Knights in the playoffs.

Speaking of, decided to look at Cal's AHL stats...it's not looking pretty when you're being outdone by a guy in his 7th year as a pro and has never been much more than a 3rd string AHL goalie/platoon ECHL goalie until now

They are saying that rangers goaltending coach benoit allaire has quick doing drills that keep him in the blue paint, protecting the middle of the net. Last year quick was way out of the crease jumping around in the white ice. Takes shorter routes to the save- thus being quicker to make the save.
Looks like yet another coaching masterpiece by our boys in management. Boy could we use this version of quick.

It wasn't going to happen here, Quick probably wouldn't have listened. It took a major shakeup for him to realize that the good old days were gone and he would have to change his style.

Unfortunately, we'll never know. Rob blake fixed that

14 more to tie Miller. He look good tonight, not a lot of swimming or over playing the puck.

 

[Fishhead]

Only for a couple of months.

He wasn't going to re-sign here for sure.

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

holy hell

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I mean even before this season it was easy to find a long list of kings who performed better when they left

the list keeps growing and getting more damning

 

[redcard]

can we trade for quick

 

[kovacro]

Love seeing the Oilers lose. Congrats to Quickie on the SO.

Actually, it's great to see both Alberta teams shit the bed early on.

Quick should absolutely be in the hall IMO

plus Good guy Kane is turning heel again...was only a matter of time.

I hope they keep their creepy panda wanna be coach. They won't go anywhere with him.
