Around the League - PLAYOFFS!?

[Menzinger]

Hawks don't have many players signed beyond this year, so they'll need to overpay for guys like Foligno and take on some bad contracts via trade.

Should be a popular destination for bottom 6/fringe players looking for some cash this summer.

Though this approach may eventually lead them into trouble when they start needing rfas and ufas to start signing more team friendly deals.

Other agents are going to have long memories

My son came out of school today telling me he and his buddies (Grade 6) looked up Connor Bedard in class. One of the first results it came back with was, "Is Bedard's mom single?".

I couldn't stop laughing at that.

Insane that Foligno has made a lucrative late career as nothing more than an intangibles guy.

Cheerleader. Brutally overrated player the last decade or so, bar one 73 point season he's a guy who was a consistent 30-35 point player. Intangibles stuff is way overblown, dude has been on losing teams the majority of his career, doesn't know a thing about winning.

But hey, at least it's not the Marleau contract...

Edit: Dorrie worked for the Nucks at the time

 

[Rare Jewel]

To be fair, he could probably play center as well. I don't think the coaches or teams do enough positional experimentation.

If anyone can play NuHockey and be a positionless and dominant player, it would probably be a guy like Quinn Hughes. Though bringing up the rear offensively probably gives him more runway.

The way they treated both Bruce and Rachel is still disgusting.

Vezina candidate Charlie Lindgren returns and steals another game for the Caps

Don't look now, but there's only a 9-point gap between 1st (NYR) and 7th (PIT) in the Metro (and PIT has a game in hand)

 

[Jojalu]

Pretty successful road trip for the Canucks so far.

One gsme left in Columbus.

Leafs need to kill their MoJo next Sat

There's this part of me that just wants the Vezina finalists to be something like Jones (or Woll), Lindgren and Daccord.

Good for Willy and Mo, well earned.

Marner? Ehhhhhhh

Florida on its heels.

I hope so, because that would mean the Jets and Canucks will have tanked hard in the 2nd half to ruin their goalie stats

And lol Sens. Tied with SJ until Tarasenko scored with 5 seconds left in regulation. Epic toilet bowl

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Florida on its heels.

Bob playing dodgeball in net. That 3rd goal was brutal

 

[BallardEra]

Bruins win in OT.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Wings and Lightning both win.

 

[HolyCrap]

Bruins win in OT.

Yup. It’s them or Florida for the division.

 

[3blizzard4]

Oilers win again. Nothing to see here.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Oilers win again. Nothing to see here.

Oilers rolling. Canucks rolling. Kraken rolling. That road trip next week is going to be rough.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Seems like Nashville is always involved in last second drama

And why on earth was Matt Martin on the ice?

 

[Menzinger]

Interesting to see this actually confirmed from someone whose been behind the scenes (Dorrie used to work for the Devils and Nucks)

For context the tweet is about a non-call against the Leafs tonight

This is insane lol

This is insane lol

So they rigged it from 2017 to 2022, then took a break from rigging it for a year because...?...and now are back to rigging it again? I have a theory that the fastest teams in the league get the most powerplays.
