Around the NHL 2024 25

[Tasteless Beaver]

Brock Nelson isn't doing a hell of a lot so far. Imagine giving up your best prospect to become a juggernaut, and you still can't get ahead of a Dallas team that is missing their most important player..

Rantanen also. Yet another reminder that the TDL big trades often don't pan out.

Just what the doctor ordered in the case of the Stars vs Avs series.

You love to see it.

 

[jungles]

Maybe he meant Jean-Luc Pickard?

Make it SO (shutout)?

 

[Jet]

They have a few issues. Not piling on Laine but back checking in the playoffs is sorta important rather than taking a skate behind the net. His attention to any defensive detail has never quite clicked with him.

How we polished that turd into Volare, AI and Kupari is beyond me.

I thought we struck out at the TDL?

You need to get some confidence in the best team in the NHL , the Winnipeg Jets.

If they had beaten the Kings even once I might be more confident. Add in the Ehlers injury that nobody truly knows the severity of if he’ll even be available by then and it’s not ideal. Despite Ehlers playoffs struggles, his speed is a constant threat out there. How might this injury effect that if he returns is another question.

Oilers gave up 12 goals in two losses. You love to see it.

Nate McKinnon, Toews and Makar trio had been out for the whole 4 minute PP had like 1 shift off and then were back out for the 5v5 shift again on which they got scored on, wonder if the energy level had something to do with that OT goal.

Hat tip to Stars, I expected a beatdown with their injuries but they are not just hanging on but also looking they are matching the Avs.

I think because of how the Avs embarrassed us in the playoffs and the fact they have two amazing superstars we tend to hold them in slightly higher regard that they deserve. Dallas has been a better team than the Avs and amassed more points even without Heiskenan for a good portion of the season. Avs are solid but they have holes too and Dallas even banged up is their pier as far as team vs team.

When Dallas plays their game they do just fine. This is coming down to a coin toss type margin.

I thought avs were the better team last night. They completely controlled play, Dallas countrrstrikedonce and it was in the back of the net.

 

[wpgallday1960]

Wanted Dallas to win last night, Avs next game. Nice long, brutal series.

 

[bustamente]

Laine's regression in full effect last night, he has no ice awareness and generally gets in the way most of the time. As for the pp he waits just inside circle waiting to unleash a shot that might hit the net but probably misses it.

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

I don't really care about Dallas or Colorado tbh. They are both very good, just beat the shit out of each other for 7 games and have the Jets take care of business against STL. Then we see where the chips land.

If we still had Laine we wouldn't have Vilardi , Iafallo , Kupari and probably wouldn't be in the playoffs right now. Trading Laine absolutely changed this franchise.

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

If you told me Laine turned into what he turned into after his 44 goal 19 year old season, I would have called you f***ing nuts. So disappointing to see what he became. It was so fun there for a couple years and you thought he would have grew but he's only got worse.

 

[wpgallday1960]

I see HF Oilers is ready to string Stu Skinner up by his knackers. Don’t blame them as provides about the polar opposite to clutch goaltending.

 

[Jets 31]

Watching the Oilers play defense looks exactly like this.....
Sometimes you have to play a actual 2 way game and that team has no concept. And i couldn't be happier .

He has nobody to blame but himself, to be in the best league in the world you have to continually work on your game as opposed to having things handed to you. What could of been if he would of applied himself in the off season.

 

[Buffdog]

That's a tough way to FINNISH the game

You remember when people wanted us to get Armia back?

Skinner shouldn't take all the blame, that team doesn't play defense. Maybe McJesus and Drai should have taken a little less money and the Oilers would have the cap room to add some solid 2 way players . You know like Scheifele and Helly did for Winnipeg. Again i couldn't be happier to watch the Oilers crash and burn.

Yeah, it's a real shame on a number of levels. He was a preternaturally gifted scorer, but that covered up aspects of his game and character that were not NHL-worthy. That proved his undoing in the end.

When you look at the list of early first rounds talents who have have been traded away by the Jets, is there anyone you'd really want back in our locker room? Kane, Laine, Trouba, PLD....
