OT: Around the NHL: Cup or bust for the Leafs and Oilers? Bust it is!

[GilbertSeinfeld]

*crickets*

"What's the behind you?"

The amount of mainboard wankers crying that Columbus should get the #1 pick this year is laughably hilarious.

No Columbus. Just because Gaudreau died tragically and you have a bunch of other guys out injured does not mean you deserve special treatment.

I said the same recently

It's one thing if a player dies on the ice, then maybe..


But it's squarely in the "people die tragically everyday" column for me

I'm also an asshole

Fellow asshole here too.

Lumbus should embrace the tank and trade for Graves.

So no summer training with Marchand this summer?

 

[Tom Hanks]

Should have been kicked out for this and fined or suspended. Can’t be hitting refs with your stick even if it’s accidental

If Columbus wants the number one pick, they need to do it the right way; cover up sexual abuse, tank, have the NHL give you a laughable punishment, and let you keep your first to draft a franchise altering player.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Guenther with a f***ing rifle to score the first goal in team history

Liam O’Brien tries hard.. but should not be in the NHL.

Marchand was recovering from 3 surgeries he had during the offseason

 

[MeinerEiner]

Utah is fun to watch. A lot of fast and skilled players. Keller, Cooley, Guenther etc.

 

[Zirakzigil]

lol…

I hope they give him 12mil. What a boat anchor of a contract that will be. Sorry but you play maybe 75% of the games your teammates play. The difference between you as an elite goalie and a great goalie isnt worth the extra 3-5mil.

Zadorov just stopped skating on the Panthers break away , yikes

He was such a rollercoaster on the Flames. Glad hes gone.

Damn, at his age that can be brutal for hockey.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Igor’s got balls to reject that. Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t he benched for Quick for a couple months last year?

His first few months of the season he was sub .900 for his GAA, he wasn't great at all until later in the season.

https://x.com/i/web/status/1843672835476357129

What makes it worse for me is knowing Sid prepares that hard only for a dipshit coach to act like he makes adjustments and puts the right players in the line-up to succeed.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Utah is fun to watch. A lot of fast and skilled players. Keller, Cooley, Guenther etc.

The way they overhauled that defense was impressive. To first move the team and all that mayhem, then go and pick up Sergachev and Marino while still having 16m in cap space is just bonkers.

Also hilarious how bad the previous owners were.

That’s what I thought. Rags fans didn’t want him until the team D started collapsing in front of the net ala what they used to do under Torts for Lundqvist.

Yeah it's been their go to method since Renney was the coach, to have as many D collapse and block as many shots as they can, I feel like they're probably a top 5 team for blocked shots since 2005-06.

Edit: I guess they aren't, either way...I really hope they sign him at like 12m with a buyout proof contract just to see the Rangers fans crying with that cap issue.

I think back to the Penguins 2010-2011 season in which Sid and Geno had season ending injuries halfway through and we had plenty of other injuries to other random players all season long.

For most of the second half of the season it was Jordan Staal and our normal bottom six forwards playing with a mishmash of WBS kids. It was interesting and not always pretty but the team still remained competitive, made the playoffs, and put up a pretty good fight in the first round against a very solid Tampa team that we took to 7 and then the Lightning went to 7 in the ECF against the eventual cup-winning Boston team.

Some sports franchises just cannot and perhaps will never be able to put it all together. It sucks being a fan but it is what it is.

Yeah wasn’t Tyler f***ing Kennedy our first line centre for awhile that year??

What a clusterf*** of a season that was….

They could be in the race for #28 near the deadline, if they stay in contention for a playoff spot. Lots of young talent and a boatload of picks.
