Around the League Thread part V

[ru4reals]

When it rain it poors. U.S. Loses in a shootout after leading 2-1 for 59 minutes and some odd seconds. Slovakia goalie stopped all 5 shootout attempts. Still proud of the boys. Most of them were college kids. Faber had over 25 minutes again but not sure how they're keeping minutes didn't seem like he was out on the ice that much except for the OT where he was used as one of the regular Dman.

Well if we're going to lose at least Canada lost as well. I was more looking forward to the Women's US v Canada gold medal anyways

Yup, even when the game had passed him by the Kings were able to get a mid round pick for him, and he never played a game in the league beyond that season.

It's amazing what teams will give for players with championship experience, no matter their current abilities. There were rumors the Kings had an offer from (Calgary I think) for Mike Richards at the 2015 draft.

Sounded like Richards was all be dealt to one of the Albertan teams (guessing with retention or a sweetener), but then the border Oxy thing happened and DL pulled the deal.

With Toffoli gone, are the Canadiens moving to a university arena as well? What do they have left at this point?

How is olympic hockey still going if the NHL is back? I mean they didn't move up the NHL schedule after they decided NHL players weren't going did they?

They filled the gap mostly with the make up COVID games.

They still have a few assets to move out. I would not be surprised if they acted as a 3rd party broker to retain money on UFA's traded at the deadline too.

I'd forgotten that last night's game was a makeup game, thanks.

Just watched Jarvis turn the puck over at the blueline that nearly led to a goal against. He isnt missing shifts for it. Whatever the tough love is that Tmac has on his young forwards is not working.

You clearly aren't paying attention to Carolina ruin their prospects.

Yah, but CGY is on a heater.

I'm convinced the Cup Final is going to be between Calgary and Florida.

These Flames are freaking huge and mean and have the best GA in the entire NHL coached under Sutter. They remind me of our Cup teams.

I think you might be right about Flames/Panthers Cup Finals, but I still don't trust Calgary's depth. Toffoli might help for sure but Florida rolls 4 lines deep and their D is very good. Plus I'm not a fan of Gaudreau in the Playoffs could have sworn Fames fans were complaining about him as a no show in previous post seasons.

Marchment absolutely KO's Trocheck.

This was certainly a fun feisty game to watch and a preview of what's to come.

And instead of dropping the gloves right away, Marchment lets the play keep going which leads to Barkov's goal. All around smart shift by him.

The Ducks lost, so there's a bright side to last night. Now lose again , and again, and again.

Yeah, but you know that little a-hole on the Flames will do something dumb on the ice and cost his team a series.

Gaudreau definitely hasn't performed as well in the playoffs as the regular season. Looks like Calgary, Colorado or Minnesota in the West and Florida, Tampa, Carolina or Pittsburgh in the East.

Pretty much is going to be between Kings and Ducks for that last spot if I had to guess.
