Around the NHL - (2024-25)

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Looks like maybe the USA should throw the game today.

Not gonna matter any more.

 

[Mr Rogers]

The next 12 months are really big for Leo. If he steps up offensively, he’ll be on their Olympic team for sure.

Please don’t get injured

This, happy for the kid but stay healthy please

 

[ZegrassyKnoll]

Hyman, Bouchard

my Point is more that we don’t have any close to dominant players and only have a couple guys who could not look out of place at a best on best tournament.

I wasn’t writing a dissertation, just an observation on a Saturday night….

Defend your dissertation!!!

The key to victory in these games is a really tight defense, and that is the polar opposite of Bouchard's game. He would get absolutely walked by these guys. I also think Hyman would be a non-factor, he is not a self-sufficient player like Terry is.

NHL's official channels posted none of FIN's goals... :/ Anyway, a decent tournament given the lineup. If we had more than one capable NHL defenseman, we might've only lost by one.

Haven't heard Leo's name mentioned at all on the broadcast.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Haven't heard Leo's name mentioned at all on the broadcast.

One of announcers specifically said “nice play Carlsson” in the first period.

But it’s not surprising being the youngest guy there. He’s not been a liability either so far.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Exciting almost by Leo there

Actually saw him that time, then they talked about him.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

LMAO FIVE posts hit tonight. I don’t think the US is playing great by any stretch, but they’ve been absurdly unlucky

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Ross Johnston better give Eichel a stern talking the next time VGK plays the Ducks.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Ok stop hitting him

They’re done with them for the season, so PLEASE Pat, for the love of all things holy, upgrade the bottom 6 to the extent that this post is not relevant

The ducks PP should be brought to you by Tylenol

Uh, no, we’re past Tylenol. Bring out the Oxy and Hydrocodone please.

That must have been some really good stuff. Can you imagine?

 

[anezthes]

And they lost. Again. Coincidence? I think not.

Told ya.

I much like this choice than Atlanta. New Orleans has only 2 pro franchises with one in each of the NBA and NFL and its time they get another.

I don't like the idea of another expansion so soon but by the time the expansion draft would come I guess the Ducks go 7-3-1
Carlsson/Zegras/McTavish/Sennecke/Terry/2025 pick/ + 1 other forward, the Dmen: Mintyukov/LaCombe/Zellweger and Dostal. Probably lose one of Luneau/Helleson/Sjolberg. Of course things could change and they protect Luneau or Sjolberg over Zellweger.

if they do one of these tourneys again, they need to shorten it. almost 2 weeks without nhl hockey in the middle of the season f***ing sucks. completely kills any momentum a team might have. maybe if we had anyone from our team actually playing meaningful games I would care more, but my god I want this tourney to be over with so nhl games can start.

Totally agree but I think in this case it worked out favourably for us as we had Terry and gudas out from illness before the break so this should have given our roster time to get back to 100%
