Around the NHL — Episode XLXVII

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Rangers lose 8-5 to the Flyers.

I can't believe how badly these teams fighting for the Wild Card spots don't want to play in the playoffs. Every team fighting for these spots except Ottawa and Montreal have a negative record in the last 10.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Knies with a hattrick. He’s a gamer looks like we’ll be facing Toronto.

Reilly being their 1D is brutal he is terrible.

Tanev and Mccabe are way better than Rielly. Both are playing like legit top pairing dmen.

[Ice-Tray]

That was a complete beatdown

 

[BondraTime]

Buium played 52 minutes lat night, was out 65% of the game. That’s absolutely cracked, close to 40 minutes in a non-OT game

If the Sens picked a LHD last year, he's the guy I would have wanted. He's the one who seemed to not have any questions about how his game will translate to the NHL.

Agreed, was the top D available in my opinion

 

[PlayOn]

I’m kind of surprised San Jose took Dickinson over him. I like Dickinson but if you’re looking for a true #1 d-man I feel like Buium is the way to go. I get why a team that already has a PP1 QB would elect to pick someone else.

I preferred Dickinson over Buium, but have changed since Dickinson stagnated a bit in his development on the offensive side. Eveyone at the WJs were ass, but Dickinson had a chance to take over and control the offense and i was a bit surprised it didn't happen. Buium seems more confident with the puck and is down to skate with it.

I was torn between Silayev and Buium, the later felt like close to a sure thing to be a very, very good LHD, while Silayev has the potential to be a unicorn.

Dickensen I was less high on, though he's certainly looking pretty good right now.

Perehk kind of scared me, while Yakemchuk seemed like a project with very high potential with a scarce profile (size, RHD, physical and skilled).

Dickinson literally just put up the best offensive season from a London Knight D in history.

He scored 21 more points in 13 less games than he did last year

Knights are stacked though. I figured Dickinson would be able to still keep up production on the big stage, especially when asked to play in a shut down role on Canada. I rated Dickinson higher than Buium during the draft and he still can endup as better, but just slightly more impressed with Buium being playing some absurd minutes while being insanely productive in NCAA

Oh I’m more than fine on having Buium over Dickinson, I do as well.

He definitely never stagnated offensively though, he flourished the most of any of the D offensively.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Nice little bonus

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

It would be nice to have these stats on Sens players readily available
Impressive numbers for wright who had sky high expectations at one point.

 

[bicboi64]

Hope Wright breaks out and has dominant performances against the Habs everytime they play while Slaf busts.

Caps are getting wrecked with now 6-0 midway through the second.

Would be so fun if CBJ won the rest of their games and the Habs keep losing.

 

[albator71]

Me thinks it would have been better finish 8th and facing Washington in the 1st and then going through the Metro Division much easier path. Watch Montreal go all the way to the Conference final. Caps are not a real legit #1 seed.

I just checked the box score and Tom Wilson got a misconduct and an 'abuse of the officials'' call on him? big yikes lol did you see what happened?

 

[PatrickEaves]

They already won their Stanley Cup with Ovechkin's goal record.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Washington/Columbus is getting really ugly.

 

[Hotsam Batcho]

Sens would do well against Washington in the playoffs.
