Around the league part 2

[psych3man]

Their roster of big name guys who have never played for them is pretty crazy. Datsyuk, Hossa, Weber, Kane lol

Sad and absolutely pathetic

I'll laugh my ass off if the west wins the cup.

I mean there is a good chance whoever comes out of the east will be missing a significant piece or 2 by the cup. Get there and anything can happen. Hell OT luck landing your way changes a whole series.

A bit more grit in the bottom six, I would say....and possibly a tough as nails coach.....I said earlier this is reminding me more and more of Terry Murray to Daryll Sutter......problem is there really is no coach like that available....

Agree - maybe from the coach standpoint more than the grit. I think a lot of these guys can get tough when needed. Danault is underrated there, Anderson has developed into a tougher guy. Perhaps the LHD we add can have a nice edge to his game as well.

Depends on what you talk about or what you mean when you talk about toughness.....I don't see it in JAD, Kupari, etc, possibly Grundstrom, Lizotte has a different toughness in, he's a goddamn gumby out there, he can take whatever you dish at him and bounce up....but he doesn't have the stature to intimidate, wear down etc, he wears down with his frenetic pace etc...

I'm hoping for a first round exit between New York and Toronto.

My whole post gets deleted? seriously? take one word or sentence out -- ok. But the whole thing really?
Yet we have a guy who yells at people on here and belittles people to the point of so many putting him on ignore. ok smh

Can't really count out Colorado either, right? Although they need a 2C still.

All season long I have watched the Kings wilt when the other team shows up and imposes their will in a physical game against the Kings.

Yes, the Kings are a more highly skilled team this season, and they are scoring more goals. The playoffs is a competition of will vs will, and I don't think the Kings have what it takes to win a 7-game series against teams like Colorado, Vegas, and Dallas.

In a series with Edmonton, I think McDavid and Draisaitl would impose their will on the Kings in terms of their skill.

Oh yeah undoubtedly. We only have 1 solid defensive pairing and DD foot speed is average and declining no way he can chase mcJeezus around wouldve been exposed last season. What we have going is 3 scoring lines that EDM does not... it would prob be a pretty even series again.. Prob come down to goaltending - both teams questionable there.

laughing my ass off that AZ is retaining on Kane just as the NHL complains they're going to crack down on teams abusing LTIR at the deadline (by trading for a dude like Nyquist who will be inactive until playoffs)

Terrible look for the NHL who suddenly has an ethics problem by talking out of both sides of their mouth like that

Lizotte doesn't have the stature to intimidate, wear down etc, he wears down with his frenetic pace etc..

I don't know man... "Lizzo's" MN Boys’ Chisago (not a typoo) Lakes Hockey Hub hockey portrait photo is pretty darn intimidating if you ask me.

Very reminiscent of the moniker 'Killer' from Slap Shot.

 

[Steve Zissou]

This is a bummer, man.

 

[Steve Zissou]

Yo NHL, you cool wit' this!?

 

[FSL KINGS]

So the Sandin trade means we can get a 1st for Durzi?

The funniest is all of the insider guys that love to tweet like they are connected. The have gotten nothing right and havent leaked anything that has went through. The whole thing is a joke. Twitter is looney

 

[Steve Zissou]

Bro, Dubas is on a rampage!

 

[tbrown33]

Bro, Dubas is on a rampage!

3rd rounder. Probably what Iafallo’s price would be on the market.

 

[Schmooley]

Not going to go over this in depth AGAIN -- but people like you forget that at the end of the day, this is a business -- it's not f***ing XBOX.

Axl How do you feel about Dubas going full xbox at the deadline? Its like half the roster was overhauled.

 

[unicornpig]

Dubas changing half his team at the TDL

Axl How do you feel about Dubas going full xbox at the deadline? It's like half the roster was overhauled.

Definetly entertaining, will be even more so if they get bounced in the 1st or 2nd round

That dude is desperate, he has to win or he's fired.

 

[kovacro]

Amazing the boards have yet to crash with the orgy of Leaf trades.

 

[YAYSAY]

It would be so insane but also very funny if the Leafs get bounced in the first round again

Iafollo would be close to Nino imho

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Imagine Blake putting his board back on the rack and going 'whoa a lot of teams made trades today WHOA THATS JUST KYLE? Can they do that?'
