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

[stats1]

Buffalo seems to be that team that no matter how much they've "improved" in the off-season and hockey people are predicting them to do well, they end up sucking.

Who said they improved? Kevyn Adams is the worst GM in sports not just hockey. Should not be near a front office. Buffalo hasn’t made the playoffs in 13 years and likely 14.. they look horrendous. They legit look worse than the Sharks and Jackets

Vegas and Edmonton are weirdos.

Getting “who’s on first” vibes

I guess Edmonton and Vegas want him for their AHL teams but this could go on forever

Oh, same ol' same ol'. Nothing he could have done in Los Angeles. Things just didn't work out with the Kings. His lack of self-reflection is disgraceful.

Yeah, kinda expected that to be the case.

Dude's such a lame loser.

I wonder how Jake feels not seeing the #1 pp unit in Tampa

He’ll be the empty net guy

Lol Carolina booing Guentzel while barely there. Talking about making yourself a main character for no reason.

Some Blue Jackets fan tried to tell me that Fantilli is in the same tier as Celbrini. Yeah, ok bud.

Now that they have a good coach finally, Fantilli might have a fighting chance to hit his potential.

Seemed really weird they chose Raddysh over Jake lol.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

It's not even 5 games into the season. I'm sure a lot will change with his usage.

Never have been a big fan of Jake on the power play tbh. Then again he was good at it in CAR.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I just don't think Jake really fit on the power play with the Pens. He wasn't horrible, but he definitely wasn't supplanting Sid or Geno in their spots, he's not a point guy, so he was kinda just left to work as the slot/net-front dude and I don't think he's really suited for it.
