Around the NHL: Part VII – Sweeps and Suspensions (Mod Warning Post #249)

So does cooper get fired tonight or no?

Columbus pulls a random 19 year old kid out of France and he’s a stud now. Never happens to us lol

Also picking Dubois over Puljujarvi was considered risky at the time but it definitely worked out.

 

[Kovalev27]

Mcdonagh Girardi Miller look like absolute trash tonight. Mcdonagh looks asleep

 

[Bob Richards]

Sorry guys, seeing the flawed mediocre teams doing well in the playoffs so far, I don’t want to try and actively suck next year.

I honestly think Columbus is getting a little of the 2012 LA look. Where the team is clearly much better than its 8th seed (WC2) seed says but for whatever reason they couldn't figure it out until the very end of the year.

Columbus stunk for whatever reason after the TDL but figured it out. They have an extremely talented team. Way more than anything we had this year.

We did well early in the decade. That's not good enough anymore. I want to assemble an ultra talented roster that is a legitimate cup contender every year.

I'm seeing this, I'm just not really sure I'm believing this!

 

[Fugazy]

The former Rangers aren't look too good tonight.

 

[Kovalev27]

Oh my god Tampa just saved their season there with pure luck. That’s out

 

[Overcast]

Offside.

 

[Fugazy]

Tampa still has a pulse.

Not sure if you saw the early penalty McDonagh took (goal by CBJ on ensuing PP). He showed no ability or effort to contain the Bluejacket player so he just chopped down on the hands/stick. The dumb thing was he didn't even have to.
Edit: I was happy when McDonagh got traded. His arc was over. It really was.

 

[Zibanejbread]

TB needed that badly

 

[Kovalev27]

Mcdonagh has that Eli Manning look going right now. Not good

The Rangers probably lead the league in randoms turning into NHL pieces.

Our problem is not having a PLD/Duchene/Panarin/Jones.

The former Rangers aren't look too good tonight.

Which ones?

Clendening, Dubinsky and McQuaid have to be feeling pretty good.

Side note- dang Dubinsky's offense has disappeared.

 

[Kovalev27]

Not for nothing this Columbus team is loaded up right now. Figured each other out and have completely blindsided Tampa

 

[NYR Viper]

Which ones?

Clendening, Dubinsky and McQuaid have to be feeling pretty good.

Side note- dang Dubinsky's offense has disappeared.

Injuries have really hampered him.

 

[trilobyte]

Dubinski played like a wrecking ball on skates, all heart, but no wonder he had so many injuries.

The Lightning ones

 

[Kovalev27]

This powerplay was like 12 mins long lol

 

[mike14]

Pierre and Callahan is one of the great sports bromances

 

[Machinehead]

Dubinsky's offense was already starting to disappear when he was still on the Rangers. We got out of that at just the right time.

If only we did the same with Staal and Girardi.

Looks like we may have with McDonagh and Miller.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Callahan looks like he’s about to drop dead

 

[Zibanejbread]

PIT up 1-0 early
