Around the NHL 2024-2025

[Stealth JD]

Isles f***ed the Blues.

Kadri scores in OT and Calgary is now only two points back with 2 games in hand. They control their own destiny and have a pretty mixed schedule remaining with a lot of games with San Jose and Anaheim remaining.

There teams in the NYC area suck

Calgary has a pretty brutal run of good teams and they're needing a lot of late magic to hold on against some pretty pedestrian clubs this week.

Tough games remaining: Dallas, Edmonton, Colorado, Utah, Vegas 2x, Minnesota, Los Angeles.

Light games remaining: Seattle (they're playing the best hockey of their season right now), Anaheim (also not quitting), San Jose 2x.

Buffalo fans make me have sympathy for them. Edmonton fans make me hope McDavid never wins a cup as long as he plays for Edmonton.

Yeah I have no issues with McD but with the way their butthurt fans acted last summer towards St. Louis, I don't wish them any succuss.

Yeah Anaheim is playing better. Might be wishful thinking but I wouldn't be surprised to see them split the two games left they have with Calgary

Calgary is not good. Every time I watch them play they look terrible. Lately they've managed to win multiple games despite playing poorly for 55 minutes.

Eventually, they're going to crack.

They’re cooked.

The other other guy in the Mikko Rantanen trade has more points than Rantanen. That's funny to me.

If anything, it reinforces that point production is dependent on much more than just skill (i.e. linemate quality, chemistry, powerplay time, coaching, offensive zone starts, etc).

 

[ChicagoBlues]

The Wild are eyeing the Avs only 4 points back with one game in hand.

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Devils are terrible. Pissed away wins now against both Calgary and Vancouver. They might miss playoffs.

Devils are terrible. Pissed away wins now against both Calgary and Vancouver. They might miss playoffs.

According to MoneyPuck, the Devils have a 91.8% chance of making it. Likely not enough time for their collapse but they're legitimately playing like one of the worst teams in the NHL right now.

You've got Keefe calling out players too. Nasty vibes there in Newark.

I would tell the Devils to go to hell but that's like sending them home

Chychrun just made bank. 9Mx8Y

I wonder how many d-man contracts around the league are better than Parayko? We should consider ourselves fortunate we got him at that price when we did.

Chychrun may well end up being worth that much but it would make me nervous.

I liked him as a potential solution/target a few years ago when you could get 3 seasons of great contractual value and we were thin at LD.

But with Broberg as a long-term asset, Fowler as a short-term asset, and the prospect pipeline on our left side, I'm extremely content not having Chychrun at that price point. He's been really good for Washington and I think there is a good chance that he is valuable to them at that price point. But I'm not at all disappointed that he didn't reach UFA for us to try and lure him on a 7 year deal.

Yeah, I'm Chych-ed out on him. But good for him and the Caps that it's been working so well this year.

Good, cuz there’s something about them that is distasteful. It’s hard to nail down what it is.

 

[Spektre]

Kadri is such a bitch. He is all for sucker punching Montour but completely turtles when Montour decides to get serious and starts rag dolling him

 

[Spektre]

Stupid Flames

 

[Spektre]

Tied up again

 

[Spektre]

Flames with at least 1 point

Dammit. Kadri has really elevated his game. I hate it.

Dude went from loudmouthed bling bling cha ching to a very responsible two-way player. He may be a clownshow dick at times, but he's come a long way. I hate it.
