Around the League Thread | November Rain

[StreetHawk]

Montgomery is on the hottest seat right now.

Still so funny to me how Swayman held out and robbed them, then puts up stinkers all season. And Ullmark got out just in time.

Not where they want to be but still in the mix.

 

[Bgav]

"Heavy cup favorites" losing 3-0 to the 30th overall team in the nhl

Edmonton can't be firing coaches to get them going.
They have terrible depth plus they have Skinner, who's an abyss of a goaltender.
Losing all their depth in the offseason has really screwed them.

Looking at what Washington is doing now with an old Ovechkin, they are one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference.

They have retooled for what it looks like another run for the next few years.

Lindholm and Zadorov getting ass kicked in Boston.

JOEL QUENNEVILLE COME ON DOWN

 

[canuckking1]

Better age 39 season so far Lebron or Ovechkin

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Bruins lost.
Oilers got shutout.
Ovie on another hatty alert.

Great night so far.

 

[tantalum]

Best part about the Oilers is the complete uselessness of Bouchard and Draisatl in the defensive zone. Just aimlessly wandering around especially after making a mistake.

Bouchard, Ekholm, Draisatl -3. McJesus -2.

When not lighting it up on the PP Bouchard’s warts really show.

 

[Rowlet]

Love seeing the Oilers lose pathetically year after year.

I hope they give Bouchard 10 mil per

Oilers trying to outdo us by getting shutout lol

I hope he keeps it up, I have tickets to the Caps game in Jan.

Would be incredible if he is close by then.

 

[RobertKron]

Did he ever bother to go collect his Order of Canada?

Zadorov for DeBrusk. Who says no at this point?

 

[thecupismine]

Better age 39 season so far Lebron or Ovechkin

Still Lebron quite easily imo, but what Ovechkin is doing is beautiful to see. Best goal scorer I’ve ever had the privilege of watching - if he had the athleticism of his youth in the modern NHL he’d go absolutely sicko mode.

 

[Bobby9]

Ovi is unbelievable

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

I'm torn. Having this Putin fan-boy eventually break Gretzky's goals record rings a little hollow for me.

i mean gretzky also fanboys a major world leader that a lot of people think is not a great person

 

[LemonSauceD]

So a 39 year old Ovechkin might win another Rocket. Crazy

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

Ovie with the hatty?

What he’s doing is absolutely incredible.

petey, jtm, and boeser are tied for our goal scoring lead with six

ovechkin is older than gretzky when he retired and has scored five goals in the last 30 hours

just bonkers

Ovie is a generational scorer, can’t compare anyone to him.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Ovie left the game with a leg injury.

Would suck if it caused him to miss significant time especially with how well he and the Caps are doing atm.

 

[vancityluongo]

wild to think that pre-2018, ovechkin was considered a failure and a choker, and now he's almost certainly the greatest goal scorer ever with a winning legacy, aging gracefully into his 40s.

funny what one cup does for the narrative

 

[EpochLink]

The Yzerplan is off the rails in Detroit.

One cup, that's all I need in my lifetime.

Lindholm and Zadorov getting ass kicked in Boston.

Have to admit that I was hoping the Canucks would find a way to bring both these guys back to
Vancouver. Fortunately Allvin is the GM, not me.

Boston gave them boat-load of money and term, and it's looking like a disaster right now.
