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

Can someone explain to me the whole Minnesota/Nashville thing? They (Minnesota) pulled the goalie during 3 on 3 and if they lost they would have forfeited their point?

Wtf? I feel like I should know this but clearly do not...

Exactly right and it's a new one for me. If you elect to pull your goalie during overtime apparently during normal course of play and are scored on, you lose the loser point. Why? Probably because the league wanted it to be somewhat like real hockey, even though it's not.

Why do I lose the loser point if I pull my goalie for it and try and go for the win? Still seems a little weird to me but yeah I didn't understand fully when I heard it either.

As someone who is admittedly a 'glass half empty' personality, The message to the players as I see it is "We need these points, and I don't trust you to win in the shootout".

The shootout is not the real sport and is a crap shoot.

I'm late on the TDL talk:

- Vegas is infuriating with the LTIR. Getting Hertl is insane.

- Mittelstadt Byram trade was really wild to me. Came out of nowhere.

Conference Finals: EDM-VGK / FLA-NYR

Red Wings getting smashed by the Sabres.

Red Wings falling apart lately and getting massacred by Buffalo 7-2 with more 2nd period to go lmao

Yzerman is going to still be building a barely over .500 team 5 years from now

What a fraud.

What a fraud.

You simply don't understand the Yzerplan. They need just 4 or 5 more years to build and then they can start ramping up to retool for the rebuild.

Kane carrying the Wings on his back to a 9th place finish.

Would love to see them get in over the NYI for the lulz but that team sucks balls.

Steve Whyzerman, fraud as a GM, was he also a fraud as a player? Starting to think so.

 

[Svenhart2008]

Florida is unstoppable right now

People starting to whisper, he was nothing without Lidstrom

 

[ReddestRum]

Bedard with 50 in 52. 4 point night for him. 9 in his last 5. Hella impressive.

Edit: 5 point night now.

They're probably going to get Celebrini also. Basically pulling a Pittsburgh.

The Yzerplan...

Few more years until he can draft these 'kids'.

Pittsburgh is sinking.



It looks like Pittsburgh will keep their pick for this draft. Top 10 protected.

The 2025 first rounder has no protections. Hope SJ gets a top 5 pick in 2025 from Pittsburgh to go along with their own top 5 pick.

So the wimpy devils fans are talking a lot about taking Rangers players out in the the final game of the series (and others are talking about causing CTE or cutting players open with skates - never change debbie fans) but as is usual with their limited hockey understanding, they've got it all wrong. You can't play an effective chippy game on demand, you have to have the lineup and you have to have the experience of playing nasty games. If the last game gets dirty, who do you think is going to get really nasty, the babysoft devils or the Rangers?

Same thing with teams like carolina, the more physical the game gets the more it advantage the Rangers. There are a few other physical teams out there as well but there are a lot more soft teams in the league right now.

The Red Wings suck. They’ve been visited by the PDO fairy this year. There’s one team like this every year.
