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

Laine isn't wrong but there's no need to call it out in public like that.

But I'm here for it.

And as with Laine he got hurt and didn’t come back after the 1st

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Laine is overrated

 

[BHD]

I don't think the Wings are contenders or anything like that, but they're better than what they've shown.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Wings also need a GM change imo.

Financial impact?

The Illitch's own about half of Detroit with their racist land grabs over the years.
Oh and Little Caesars is trash pizza

Little Caesars is trash pizza

I vaguely remember a story from that very long multi-overtime game 5 of the 2008 SCF that the Penguins org ordered pizzas for their locker room and the DRW org got mad at them because it was something other than Little Caesars. Nobody deserves to be forced to eat crap, maybe DRW fans but no one else!

Feels a little too late, even with over half the season to go. Furthermore, how much of a coaching bump can you expect from McLellan? He’s better than Lalonde for sure, but he’s still a mediocre coach.

Yes, and they have to win those games while the Pens AND Sens lose.

He will get them to 9th or 10th… above the bad teams, but just outside the playoffs - which is where we kind of expected them to be this season.

He’s the wrong guy to say it. Not exactly known for his work ethic or leadership lol

I was going to say that they were going to be on the bubble for being a bubble team.

They've got a decent top 6 and solid top D pairing but the wheels start falling off the wagon after that. IF they actually made the playoffs I'm not sure they win a game but that is the most that they could possibly accomplish.

And yes I remember that story too

I think Little Caesars increases profits by skipping the dough and putting the toppings directly on top of the cardboard box.
Subpar toppings from another pizza joints floor at that.
