Around the NHL - Part XLII - (2023-24 Season edition)

[LOFIN]

I don't really watch the MSG coverage outside of gameplay (well most games I couldn't because they play at night lol), but once again watching Steve Valiquette interviewed on Real Kyper and Bourne makes me feel sad of what I'm missing out on. You better hope the Rangers are buying analytics from him, because everytime he's on you learn so much.

Sad, feel for the kid.


Only a year older than Chytil, head trauma is scary stuff.

That Lindgren trade everyone wants would be very easy to pull off if this is the case.

Is cold for a couple of SoCal boys like them

any devastating injuries to the Islanders or Caps in this game so far?

[RangerLifer]

Islanders suck.

 

[Tob]

NJD and PIT fans shitting themselves at every metro game going to OT

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

The Dubois trade may be an all timer for Winnipeg.

Pat Kane is scoring but the Wings are sliding. Stevey Y fell for the oldest ruse in the tablets.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Tielanders strike again. Pathetic. Their true winning percentage is in the .400s
NHL is a joke. Does any other major sport have two different values for a game.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

New York Loser Points strike again

I'm not sure how they do scoring in MLS, but other sports are far less likely to end in a tie.

We could go back to ties, but I don't see what the big deal is. Every team plays by the same rules.

 

[Stugots]

Isles would be in like 6th or 7th without the loser point but somehow they’re 6 points behind us.

Imagine losing your way to a playoff berth. The jokes write themselves on the Island.

Without loser points they are under .500. They are a joke.

The value of a game is my contention.
If a team wins in regulation they are awarded 2 points. Total points awarded 2.
If a team wins in O/T they are awarded 2 points and the losing team is awarded 1 point. Total points awarded 3.
It just bush league for a major sport to have two different values for a regular season game.

 

[Kakko]

I'd prefer they both miss, but Islanders losing their way to keep the Devils out of the playoffs is much funnier than the opposite
