Around the NHL - Part XLIII

[noncents]

I just saw the isles had the lowest attendance at ubs arena since 2021. They had about 12,000+ in attendance. Yikes!

uh oh!

Mediocre product that is a chore to watch?

Im surprised that they got 12,000.

NJ will be unstoppable once they acquire established tending. Oh wait oh

Right up with the Jets being unstoppable with established QBing.

I went to their boards to hydrate with some Devils fan tears and found this gem:

.......? The bar is so f***ing low, it's actually absurd. And lol @ this board bringing up the Rags whenever people want this team to do good, the obsession is absurd

Finally! One of them admits it!

I lived in NJ so I love dunking on that team.

Last night Bratt got destroyed, the little devils do nothing because they can't play that goon they traded for because he can't skate, the air goes out of the building, and the gutless bunch of figure skaters just quit.

And the debbies fans still blaming sad sack Ruff for it all. What a weird little team.

Isles shutout in 3 of their 6 games so far. Imagine paying money to watch that game last night. Might as well stay home and read a book instead.

So many first round draft pick busts when picking forwards for NYI--Dal Colle, Ho-Sang, Bellows, Wahlstrom, Holmstrom, along with no first round pick 4 years in a row.

Quick, trade kaapo Kakko and zib for him and some

Oh great.. now they'll get a generational player.

Obviously it's not going to happen because it would mess up the locker room, but it would be nice to trade Lindgren to Utah for the picks we shipped away to rid ourselves of Nemeth (ouch). Then we could roll with Mancini, Jones, and GigaChad as our 5-7 D and see what D is available at the trade deadline. It would also free up a lot of cap space for the trade deadline.

You're telling me. He got the hat last night for wearing a racing helmet.

Watching last night's game and I couldn't help think that Habs might want a guy like Lindgren. They need D who can eat minutes, they need a 'veteran' presence in the locker-room, and Lindgren doesn't really hurt their draft position if they go the tank option

Not sure where to put this so I'll try here.

Over on the History subforum on the mains, we like to indulge in a little bit of fun now and then in the form of meaningless rankings, comparisons, and debates of historical players. This year we're ranking the top 60 goaltenders of all time, and in we're onto the third round of discussion, where your guy Henrik Lundqvist is now up for vote, with a spot in the top 15, and potentially as high as the 10th spot, up for grabs.

I know there's gotta be a lot of Hank truthers on here (as a Capitals fan, I'm one of his supporters in the project), or at the very least a lot of posters who watched most or all of his career and can offer insight, anecdotes, stories about him, all of which go towards making our discussion more fruitful and educational. If you want to join in, or just want to read up about how we think Lundqvist compares against greats of the past, take a peek at the thread! Thanks.
