Around the NHL 10 - 2022/23

[AlphaLackey]

Mostly, I was just reading. A couple of things I decided to jump in on - but you are right. It was over, I should have just stayed out.

Feel free to have my back ten years later; lord knows I've taken that long to clap back in the past. No, I'm not kidding. Yes, I am that petty.

 

[DRW204]

the Oilers have four players in the top 20 in scoring

McDavid (1) with 94 pts
Draisaitl (t-2) with 76
RNH (t-11) with 62
Hyman (16th) with 60.

McDavid and Drai on pace for 148 and 130. RNH and Hymand at 97 & 96.

Would be neat to see four 100 pt players on a single team.

Its the F****** Oilers so who gives a shit unless you have one of them in a hockey pool.

Copp has done absolutely horrible with Detroit, especially for the money he's getting. I'm glad we traded Copp when we did. 5 goals and 21 assists for 26 points in 51 games so far this season. Copp is getting 5.625 million a year for 5 years , that's way too much.

I wonder how Copp feels about taking all that money and not producing...

 

[RabidOne]

So .......... you ARE saying that rural Manitobans are full of BS.

Yes, yes I am.

I have all of them. And it's an around the league thread. I dont give a shit that the oilers got you still butt-hurt from 40 years ago boomer.

Any true Jets fan that watched the team from day 1 of the WHA hates the Oilers. It is in our blood.

It is like a Habs fan marvelling at the Leafs or Bruins. It is just wrong.

Apparently the guy that was talking shit and got punched is now spewing the same crap online . Sometimes really big losers need a smack in the mouth, especially when they are talking shit and challenging you to a fight.

Whoa so the punch didn't cure his racism??

 

[snowkiddin]

All those points just for the Oilers to choke in the playoffs. Again. Count me in!

Watching the leaves cowlumbus game earlier

Looks like the man bun suits gave their tickets away to our serving Arm forces

Way to cheap out man bun suits. At least give the forces a better game to attend

Marner working on a 4:08 shift.

 

[SUX2BU]

Leaves lose

 

[KingBogo]

Leafs lose. That always warms the heart.

The way I look at it, it was a good game. The Laffs lost...

Detroit is a different situation - like trying ti compare copps production while playing with panarin

I dont think the salary is that bad - hed be excelling here under bowness for sure... to be honest id rather have copp for a playoff run than toews...

Copp is what he is and that is a good middle 6 forward. He can play in a top 6 and contribute in the right situation.

Yeah I wouldn't mind him here now for a playoff run as he's shown he can compliment some of our players in the top 6. My guess is he looks better in Detroit as their young talent gets further integrated.

I mean the initial question was can a line succeed with two top wingers - Meier and Ehlers - and just a middling C...

I don't recall the last cup winner to win with such a setup. I think you need high end C. But imo if the long range plan is to move Cole to C then a winger like Meier would be the exact type of winger would want on one of his sides.

This is basically Chicago rotating 2Cs through the years, but with Kane as the constant on the second line.

TBL Also their first cup they had some combo of Cirelli and TJ at 2c with Stamkos out for the PO's.

It can be done.

We'll agree to disagree.

 

[LowLefty]

The Oil lose to the Habs - badly.
Looks like the refs gave them every opportunity to come back with PP's -
But the Oil go 1 for 6 on the PP and lose - no surprise.

No one is claiming that you dont have a top C - i saw the discussion more as can your second line be anchored by strong wingers

Just for comparison, Adam Lowry, a guy that has often been dumped on and presented as the guy the Jets should have not signed/traded rather than Copp, has 7 goals and 18 assists in 53 games for $3.25 million per year.

And Lowry had to vacation in Mexico at a resort with jets fans.
