Around the NHL (Part XVIII) - Tankiest tank to have ever tanked

[Blackhawkswincup]

Leafs look lifeless

2-1 Canes in 1st

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Oh, Malcolm Subban's getting the start in the Boston @ St. Louis game.

Talk about being thrown into the deep end. Hope that the rookie start hax trick works against the Blues, too.

That will be interesting. Bs are desperate

That's for sure. Plus there's been a bunch of talk about them moving him for pieces.

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Trying to showcase him against the Blues. Not a bad idea if he does well

 

[No Fun Shogun]

That's a good point. And if he does poorly, it's his first start against one of the best teams in the league. Low risk, high reward.

Good GMing, Dags.

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

All those season of playing Be A GM finally paying off.
Phew.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

So.... NHL15 actually does pay off?

 

[Taze em]

You can't showcase a goalie in a one game sample.

 

[JaegerDice]

I wish NHL15 was real life.

If it was, then we'd have traded Shaw for Bjugstad straight up at the start of this season.

...he won the Conn Smythe in my run, lol

 

[No Fun Shogun]

If NHL15 was real life, then every game would have a shot differential of 48-7.... and the team with the 7 shots would win 3-1.

But I did score a hat trick with John Scott in an earlier iteration of the game, and that'd be all kinds of amazing.

But I thought goalies didn't need that many games to show they were starter capable???????

Thats why we are trading Crawford to play Darling....

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Meh, wasn't paying attention while the Hawks were on, so I missed the Blues scoring three straight.

what?

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

what?

You must not be around for arguments about Crow

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Subban pulled after giving up 3 goals on 6 shots

Terrible debut for kid

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Canes def Leafs 2-1 ,, Kessel line another poor night

Kings get help tonight as Devils down the Nucks 4-2 ,, Wild up 2-0 on Oilers after 1 and Flames up 1-0 on Ducks after 1

David Krejci got injured for B's as well tonight

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Everyone needs this in their lives. I love goalies


Edit:This one too. I ****ing love goalies.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Us goalies are a weird bunch.

Peewee level soccer, baby.

Chicago's shot suppression rank in the league:
09-10: 1st
10-11: 4th
11-12: 6th
12-13: 2nd
13-14: 3rd

14-15: 15th

Without an absolutely massive turnaround in this department, the Blackhawks would need a Tim Thomas level performance from Crawford to get anywhere close to a cup.

You think THAT is being thrown into the deep end? He is being showcased for the Oilers.

...though, maybe not anymore.

You just word for word took that from Jen LC

First NHL game against one of the best teams in the league in their barn while your guys are in a major rut?

Yet, I'd say that's being thrown into the deep end.

.... didn't work out too well, though.
