Around the NHL — Episode XLXVII

[SensHulk]

Blues absolutely ran Winnipeg out of the rink tonight.

Wish we could have done that with the leafs

 

[bicboi64]

Hellebuyck and Ullmark out here reminding us regular season stats don't always translate to success in the playoffs

 

[Tnuoc Alucard]

The odds of an NHL team—especially an underdog or lower seed—coming back from a 3–0 deficit in a best-of-seven playoff series are extremely low……… approximately 1.9%

Robert Thomas is absolutely incredible. There's a thread in the polls section asking to vote between Hischier, Suzuki and Thomas. I voted Hischier initially but after a quick analysis, I changed my vote to Thomas. 1.04 PPG the last 4 seasons, 1.10 PPG the last 2

And Buchnevich is a type of player I'd like to add, a top notch 2-way forward

Do people use "twist the knife in the wound" in English? Because that would be a prime example of it lol

I said it when the trade happened but the way to go for us was a Forsberg-Gustavsson tandem with Sogaard and Merilainen developing. We'd have more cap space, probably a better season last year (and maybe make the playoffs?) and at least Kastelic and a late 1st too (so we could forfeit this year first easily)

The accumulation of Dorion mistakes that overlap over each others is incredible. What a mess he left to Staios.

I like Buchnevich but up until last night he had 1g in 17 playoff games in his career. They spoke about that in game 1.. I was not aware. Got the monkey off his back last night. He has been a ~60-70+ pt player with the Blues .. Imagine how Sens fans would react to Batherson having 1g in 17 playoff games.

Not sure where to place this, but a mistrial has been announced in the Formenton case. Not sure what happens now with Formenton if he can come back to the Sens or whether he will, they could certainly use him but there is the public perception that might not allow management to pursue it but maybe in a US market.

Mistrial declared in sex assault case against 5 ex-world junior hockey players in London, Ont.

Superior Court Justice Maria Carroccia has declared a mistrial in the case against five former world junior hockey players accused of sexually assaulting a woman in a London, Ont., hotel in 2018. The stunning and rare move comes three days after a 14-member jury was chosen to hear the case...

He's done.

In any event: "Another jury is being chosen, a process that started today after the mistrial was called, and a new trial will be held."

 

[BondraTime]

Formenton is done in the league regardless of the outcome

He’s rippin’ cigs and hauling lumber at this point.

It's funny you replied to this I just asked you this question I think in another thread. That I didn't know. Thanks.

New jury being selected.. Not dismissed

 

[PlayOn]

The Bell Centre is louuuud. Chychrun just tied it up though so that’s fun.

The addition of Demidov to this Habs PP is scary. It’s gonna be lethal.

He's so good.

Teams passing up on him because he's Russian is insane. Russain guys being a problem hasn't been a thing in ages.

Same thing with Michkov, Habs made the idiotic choice of picking a big RD because of the position he played, they learned from their mistake and just took the best player.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

lmao we’re going to be the only playoff team to not win a game, aren’t we?

 

[Xspyrit]

lmao we’re goinf to be the only playoff team to not win a game, aren’t we?

Most likely

But hey « we have one of the best young cores and what’s the problem with the prospect pool? There’s no problem »

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

Habs getting absolutely bullied by Washington. Wilson just fed Anderson in the bench and Eller one punched Zhejacorhenw

Honestly don’t even think teams passed on him because he’s Russian except for Anaheim. Chicago was allegedly choosing between him and Levshunov, and CBJ loves drafting Russians historically (although maybe not with the new regime, I don’t know). I kinda think they just wanted a C.

Seems silly that he got to 5th regardless though.

 

[Ouroboros]

lmao we’re going to be the only playoff team to not win a game, aren’t we?

It took them 7 years just to get there and it'll probably take them 7 more just to win a game.

 

[Naslund]

Habs fan here. Playing Toronto is much harder than playing Washington.

 

[mianjo]

Yet the Habs are winning.

Picking for need at the top of the draft is always unwise

Don’t worry this fan base would be grateful of a participation ribbon hanging from the rafters. High fives all around for being the 16th best team in the league.

 

[Senscore]

Aaaand the game is tied again
