Around the NHL 10 - 2022/23

Carolina and Florida is going to be a great series, Vegas and either Dallas or Seattle might be okay but nobody outside of those markets are going to be watching.

The Oilers are largely a regular season team. The hype behind them coming into these playoffs wasn’t unfounded, but I was never a believer. They just haven’t been able to build around McDrai.

Oh come on, it’s playoffs! I’ll be watching to root against f*** Vegas!

Should of added in the the States, people will still watch in Canada but the networks in the States don't care about whose watching in Canada

With all the 1OA’s the Coilers received, I love this for them. Suck it Edmonton.

 

[snowkiddin]

The guy is a second pairing dmen but is making number 1 dmen money.

I have no idea what the hell they were thinking with that one. It was a bad contract the moment it was signed and has just gotten worse with age. They signed him to it largely based on that outlying Canadian division year. It would be like if we signed Pionk 8x8 after that season. And IIRC they signed him in July 2021 even though he had a contract still until 2022. I’m not sure why they didn’t slow play it a bit more and instead just caved immediately.

There’s a lot of bad ones in the NHL (Doughty, Bobrovsky and Seth Jones come to mind) but this might honestly be the worst contract in the league.

I have a weird feeling it's going to be battle of the expansion teams in Seattle vs Vegas

While I will cheer against the oilers every day, I will be rooting Seattle here on out in the west

Don't care Florida or Carolina. It's gonna Be a Fun series

 

[Aggie204]

Krakheads and Swamp Kitties is the only Stanley Cup final I want.

Seattle all the way, I guess.

f*** Vages

Sometimes when I think about how messed up the Jets organization is, nights like these last few (Oilers and Leafs both lose) make me realize that there’s a lot of fanbases that feel like the sky is falling. It’s not just us.

Vegas is a good team. The Oilers and Leafs both feel like regular season teams. I don’t know why, but both of those things make me feel less shitty about the fragile state of our poorly built Jets.

 

[Jets 31]

Why couldn't both Edmonton and Vegas lose . Gotta say if i was a Edmonton fan i wouldn't be happy about some of their star players in the playoffs this year . Nugent-Hopkins had 100 points in the regular season and only scored 1 goal all playoffs. Their goaltending isn't good but that's not that team's only problem.

 

[UFO]

Seeing teams like the Maple Leafs and Oilers getting eliminated shows me one thing: they aren't (much) better than the Jets, even with several super stars. Also the Kraken are a prime example of team success. No super stars, no fancy names, but passion and a real team. I strongly believe we could achieve the latter as well, if our culprits were to be replaced.

Only keep those players who really want to be here. Everyone else can f*** off.

Give us players with passion, skill and strong sense of unity. Add a modern and intelligent coaching staff.

I wouldn’t count out the Stars. The have proven to be a pretty resilient team themselves.

Stars didn't get as far as they have by clipping coupons; they've got a mighty good team.

Bidet is a life changing device. Using toilet paper to clean feels barbaric once you use a bidet.

Are you guys on about carboned up cylinder heads?

Going with a rookie goalie in the playoffs might not of been the right idea, Skinner pulled again

That was a glaring error methinks.

Edmonton's goaltending is a massive problem for them.

Bob has earned himself some leeway in the past month.

 

[Eyeseeing]

Oilers and Leafs fans
Don’t count your chickens before they hatch

 

[SUX2BU]

None at all. I'm not here spitting the ground he walks on, and frankly I think he's a good and decent human being. There are 32 head coaches in the NHL. One of them has to be the 32nd best. I think it's him. That's all.

Rick Tocchot is terrible

 

[SUX2BU]

Buh bye coilers
Bunch of hillbillies

The hillbillies have turned on each other

This sums it up for me. The difference is we aren’t really a contender we are a bubble playoff team. I don’t think many Jets fans have that 2018-19 Jets feeling after we got so close the season before and we were still a legit contender. That next season had a different sting to it because we had the pieces to win if it came together. When you know you should be good enough (Toronto and Edmonton) based on some element like high end super stars BUT you continue to fall short its much more crushing.

Not overachieving sucks because losing always sucks but being a perennial underachiever with the talent these two teams have at the top is just devastating.

 

[bustamente]

It all starts in net and once again it let the Oilers down, every year they try to find that goalie God but they swing and miss. What's the point of Draisatl and McDavid piling up points and not getting to the Conference final let alone Stanley Cup finals.

The Oilers and the Leafs going out shows the problem GMs have with building teams for hockey, and it's because the NHL has two completely different seasons. It's played differently, it's refed differently , etc.. The playoffs are not the regular season in any way.

If you build your team for the regular season, you will be in the playoffs , but you may not do well in the playoffs... but if you build your team for the playoffs, you may not even get into the playoffs. Florida is a perfect example of this. Built for the playoffs, but lucky to be in the playoffs.

** The Jets are not built for the regular season nor the playoffs... a whole different issue.

Hate to say it, but this is why I like baseball. It's the same game if it's the regular season or the playoffs. A strike in May is a strike in October. The game is played the same way and it is ump'ed the same way. If a GM builds a good regular season team , it will be a good playoff team. Sure, you still have to win and crap happens, but all the teams in the playoffs are good and can legitimately beat each other. No one sneaks into the post season and wins the World Series because the umps started to call a bigger strike zone.

Agreed, they need to fix things. Call the game the same way.

But I also think you can win with the types of roster construction as the Leafs and Oilers. I have no clue why the Leafs fail as they play good two-way hockey in the regular season. The Oilers though need to learn to play a more two way game like Tampa or those Blackhawk cup teams.

Even those largely offensive Pens cup teams had Crosby play excellent two way hockey.

Imagine if vegas had Appleton? We soaked them on those apples.

Well we know Seattle didn’t want or need him once they saw him play in person!

of course Chevy took him back like the guy who’s girlfriend keeps cheating on him…
