Around the NHL 10 - 2022/23

[Jets 31]

3 points back of the Stars with 2 games in hand, Devils played tonight Jets once again well rested, a strong game is a must

Man if we could have scored on our PP against Columbus we could be in 1st after a win tomorrow. Guess we will just have to beat the Rangers too then .

SN/TSN pump up the Leafs tires so hard to keep eyeballs glued to the point where when the Leafs make a trade for a player that is having a terrible year the fans think it's the greatest deal of the century. Leafs will go out early again ROR will go back to St. louis and the Leafs will be bystanders at the draft.

ROR will be fed to the lions. Poetic…

Telephone tough guy that Dangle, Marchand would kick his ass.

Marchand lives rent free even inside the Toronto media's heads

The reach around for the Leafs on SN is sickening.

Gunnary Sargeant Hartman would really add to SN.

Maybe replace Galley with him.

Im really hoping they hire Marchand as a colour guy when he retires.

 

[WolfHouse]

Wtf is going on with the flames !!

 

[AlphaLackey]

Of course he lives rent-free; you ever hear of a cockroach that paid rent?

I don’t follow Twitter much but this made me laugh. Marshy trolling Dangle. You can’t make that shit up.

Aka Habs vets suck and no one will take them haha and/or just won’t give much up for them. I guess no multi 1st/2rd picks like fans were expecting and multi mid round picks.

Keefe: "It was tough not to weep in self-absorbed maudlin squalor ... I was trying to digest the inevitability of guaranteed wins, the pomp, the undying love of the fans, the cementing of my name in history, the heft of the cup itself as I kiss the embossed face over and over again; the highly likely (lets just say its a given) overt adulation of the media fondly recalling the record-setting 16 straight wins through the playoffs, and of course the ponderous victory march through the streets of Toronto this spring - culminating in the penultimate visit to city hall to accept the Key to the City".​

Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe has wept, rapped loudly at the corner of Avenue and St. Clair with Drake, and literally exploded while considering the fruits of the recent trade by Dubas, the Toronto godlet facilitator, about the opportunity to secure the Cup with the acquisitions of Ryan O'Reilly and Noel Acciari, and he discusses not so much where he's considering slotting them in, but more to the point, addresses Toronto's likely rocket-like J-curve trajectory to an assured Stanley Cup situation, Dubas' choice in eye-gear, the mid season dance party at Austin's condo, the fat business deals forthcoming (including ideas for his own video game eg, Keefe Wars '23) and more.​

The Leafs seem to hold parallels to baseballs' Yankees, minus all the success.

I get that there are Leafs fans coast to coast.

I understand that Eastern Canada is top heavy in population, and have huge pull on ratings, ad money, and legions of slavering on-side personalities quivering to help spread the word.

But if you are at all like me (there are *millions* of us in Canada and the US (if HFBoards talk is any indication)) who harbour a quintessential gut-felt dislike of the Leafs, their hype, and the 24/7 PR feed (Austin loves cinnamon on his Quaker Oats, we think this helps him tape his stick!), then news onslaught during the next few months will take courage.

Brace yourselves friends, you know who you are.

Why is Giordano saying brace yourself?

The right mix to tank?

 

[bustamente]

Leafs in a real soft part of their season and they are patting themselves on the back like they won the Stanley Cup, maybe get out of the first round before you start acting like dicks

 

[Hunter368]

The right mix to tank?

Yes, most of their vets have negative value at full cap hit and a couple who have some value its low at full cap hit.

I still think dvorak could be a serviceable 2-3C but everyone else besides dach has no value yeah

I don't think Kyle Dubas has carte Blanche, and I think Shannahan is really calling the shots, and Dubas is more of a puppet, and a security blanket for Shannahan's job, should things go bad. Brendan has a nice situation in Toronto, acting like a GM, but having an easy out if things don't work out. I could be wrong, but with Brendan being President of hockey operations, I'm sure everything is initially orchestrated by him, or at the very least OK'd by him.

I really don't think Dubas has much power at all in that organization, but I could be wrong here ? I wonder if anyone else agrees ?

So how can he snooker an entire franchise like OP said if he's merely a puppet. It's not unilateral decisions

Avalanche losing 3-1 to the Coilers!

 

[bustamente]

Avs come all the way back to beat the Oilers creeping closer to the Jets

 

[KingBogo]

And the Oilers give up a 2 goal lead in the 3rd and then lose in OT to the Avs. Man the Oilers are a soft defensive team.

 

[GeorgeJETson]

Avs come all the way back to beat the Oilers creeping closer to the Jets

AKA the Coilers special

Don’t worry the Avs / Jets 1st round series won’t be happening … the Avs will pass both the Jets and Stars.
