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

Hutson is more than an "8 D", if that's what you mean.

I said he's a buck fitty 8 D man. As in 158 # lol.
Us yinzers don't always enunciate properly.

Fold the Sabres and try it again.

Kakko scratched with Panarin out, interesting.

Fold the Sabres and try it again.

I remember the interview Cam and Strick did with Patrik Berglund maybe about a year ago where he spoke about how he didn't want to be dealt to Buffalo under any circumstances and that's what ended up happening to him behind his back. He played for them for a few games and then just quit the NHL altogether, giving up millions of dollars every year. That's how bad it is there, that someone would rather forfeit millions of dollars in salary rather than play for that organization.

10 straight L's for Buffalo. Ouch.

Rangers trolling pretty good here.

 

[Pancakes]

The Rangers have fallen so hard they're nearly in Penguins territory in points and point percentage. Oof.

Have to assume they fire Lavy soon and right the ship. Otherwise we'll see something weird like Philly or even the Pens making it and that would be high comedy. Or perhaps more likely Atlantic sends 5 with Ottawa getting in.

Yeah, I think between the age of their core, no real young guns coming in, Shesterkin making $11.5M AAV moving forward, etc., the Rangers are gonna fall off a cliff in the next couple years.

They’re in the 2016-2017 era again where they fell off a cliff after their SCF appearance

They look like they’re done. They’ve been running this group back (under different coaches) for awhile now. Maybe they retool to remain a playoff team, but their window closed. Gallant and Lavy were hired to get immediate results, and the furthest they got was the ECF.

Yeah, if Kakko and Lafreniere lived up to their pre-draft hype, that team's in a hell of a lot better place. Those two not really working out as planned f***ed the team big time.
