Biden got a standing ovation during his speech to Canadian parliament because he took a shot at the Leafs hahaha

Lmao, something people from all political parties can agree on. f*** the Leafs.

Krav scored 2-3 times as much under GG than he has as Canuck so far. Ironic considering all the hate GG got.

All the noise aside, it's been clear for months that he just doesn't have what it takes at the NHL level. His perceived 'value' as a prospect was a potemkin village constructed on his draft ranking.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Kravtsov doesn't have the pace to play in this league and can't find a way to adjust his skill set to work in the NHL.

Even when he was pulling all of the dangles in the K (most of which were completely impractical) he's doing them at like 50% of the speed that would be required to pull it off at the NHL level. I remember he tried to do it earlier this year against the caps and he got completely buried by Orlov.

Its almost like spending some time in the A would have given him the best opportunity to try to figure out how to make his game work on the smaller rink against guys who aren't going to give you all the space in the world to operate. He didn't want to do that, he didn't want to listen to the Rangers who tried to help him get his body ready to play at this level, he didn't want to take a short conditioning stint when he was hurt last year. I don't even know if he really wants to play hockey or if its just something he does because hes naturally good at it and likes the lifestyle. He COULD theoretically make it if he takes a page out of Vesey's book and just focuses on getting good at some of the good ol' North American basics but that will require him to get stronger and swallow his ego. Good luck with that!

Anyway, I'm glad hes no longer our problem and he'll be out of the league as soon as 3 weeks from now.

Blue Jackets up 4-2..

 

[DialUp]

When I watch games on MSG GO I do the little trivia and "shirt cannon" match game, but they don't have that for Devils games. Sad.

 

[Captain Lindy]

Blue Jackets up 4-2..

GO JACKETS GO!

Dammit. They tied the game.

 

[DialUp]

Sabres holding the Devils off would be a 2023 miracle.

ISLES LOSE!! WOOOOHOOO they got a point though. Oh, well.

 

[Lua]

Sabres made it hard on themselves but they held on for dear life.

10 games left for both the devils and rangers. Four points behind. All of a sudden their head-to-head on Thursday could mean a lot.

 

[17futurecap]

I still think the Islanders give Boston or the Metro winner the toughest first round between the 3 crap teams fighting for the last two spots.

But, f*** em.

 

[gabevh3]

1 in 11

Wow looks like that was his first point with them lol

 

[ReddestRum]

TIL that Dahlin is almost a 70 point D-man.

Not the NHL, but former Ranger (albeit just 12 games) Tarmo Reunanen scrored a lacrosse goal in the Finnish Liiga playoffs:

Jack Edwards? I'd rather drink Drano than listen to him.
