Around the League - PLAYOFFS!?

[Al14]

Great players go on streaks. Matthews and Marner will, as well (Matthews already has, but apparently everyone has already forgotten that).

Too many team losses and silent games from him to help us remember what he has done in the past !!!

A Hat trick from an obscure Hawks player has erased all memories of Matthews and his ability to even score a single goal !!!

McDavid will still most likely win the MVP award even after a terrible start.

 

[MapleLeafs77]

The west is so weak and has so many bad teams. I have always said that McDavid and Draisaitl just beat up on awful teams and get a ton of points

And yet, Matthews and Marner can't beat up on many of the awful teams in the entire NHL !!!

Where was our core 4 when we had the chance to beat up on the Hawks and Pens ??? Nowhere to be found as per usual !!!

They will come around.

Doesn't mean anything in the playoffs, but they'll get their points.

Or the Leafs are headed for the middle of the pack, and wild card territory, until they score on some prospects.

9 pts in last 3 games for 97
For those that love multiple points vs weak opposition to boost stats

it would be great if our "stars" can pad their stats against bottom feeders too instead of losing to them

Odds of McDavid winning MVP vs Marner winning Selke?

Keefe wouldn't put out the top line in that situation. He already over plays the 4th line whenever we score or get scored on lol

Just looked up the Hart odds

I still get a chuckle when I recall a poster or two saying Mitch will score 120 points and challenge for the Hart.

I still can't believe Willie played 26:10 vs Pens. Matty 24+ and Mitch 23+ and all 3 did not register a point. Overplaying the 3 amigos is Keefe's go to. He's gotta go.

I doubt anyone said 'will'.

 

[ToneDog]

I doubt anyone said 'will'.

They probably did. They were probably defending him. Predicting he will break through 100 points is more realstic. As long as McDavid is around, he'll be favourite for the Hart. Mitch needs to get is going soon to get to 100+ points.

The result of 11-7, nothing else

Friedman says that Kane is down to Wings, Panthers or Stars.

Also said Bruins could be a dark horse.

I don't think it would a good move by Bruins. Kane will come with a price tag and is not solving their C shortage.

On the bright side, while I don't see Kane being worth his cap hit in the regular season, he might be worth it come playoffs.

Evason out

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Dean Evason being fired is tragic. NHL lost a great face.

 

[Mitch nylander]

The Corey Perry rumous circulating are hilarious.

Hope they are true.

 

[Menzinger]

I've always liked Evason, though he has his flaws.

If the Leafs ever do move on from Keefe I'd be open to him, depending on who else is available

 

[PromisedLand]

Corey Perry is trending on Twitter. I can't post the tweets here as these are unsubstantiated claims and "adult" in nature but holy cow they are HILARIOUS!!!

[thinkblue]

Woodcroft would have been better.

 

[PromisedLand]

NHL player safety once again is a f***ing JOKE!

Why is this suspendable but Marchand's antics against Liljegren were not?

 

[Squiffy]

I mean that is really clearly an intentional slew foot, and should be a suspension. I hate slew foots, dirty dirty play.

No comment on the Marchand question.
