Around the NHL: Part XXV

blatant interference by Maroon

 

[Machinehead]

I’m generally not a bitter person or one to hold a grudge but it does bring me legitimate joy to see TB fail to win a cup.

I feel you, but I'm kinda rooting for them now.

I feel like they got theirs last year.

I just funnel all my grudges
into hockey which makes me an understanding person in real life and a petty asshole in HF life.

f*** Tampa.

Was going to mention the other day that you seem a little testy here lately

Regarding this thread or other threads?

I don’t like Colorado either.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Kucherov needs to be the best player on the ice at some point.

I think this one, because I think this is the one where you'd be most likely to just post "f*** _____"

Yeah that’s a staple for sure.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Coleman, what a pick up

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Wow. That was a great shift by Marchand.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Cirelli can't let that pass through.

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

Offer sheet withdrawn....

 

[Edge]

And Toronto moves Kapanen and lands the 15th pick in the draft.

And just like that, they're back in the first round.

That's an awful trade for Pittsburgh.

Pettersson basically said "f*** it I'll do it myself" on that goal

They're in a tough spot. Can't rebuild with Crosby and Malkin on the team.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Why did Pierre say that Petterson tried a wraparound and failed? That looked like pass to me.

Pittsburgh needs to make way bigger changes than just adding Kapanen. That organization is like psychically spent at the moment (I’m sure you know way more about it than I do).

Kinda feel like if Boston wins this one it’s over for the Lightning.

They need to put Crosby, Malkin, and Letang in some kind of suspended animation cryo-chamber every offseason for the entire offseason until they retire

I think to get the most out of Crosby/Malkin’s remaining years is to forget the back-to-back Cups. Wipe out the memory, the satisfaction, and excessive loyalties to players remaining from those Cups.

I'd say they should probably do the basketball thing of cutting back their workload during the regular season, but they really might not make the playoffs without them playing the whole thing

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

3 of the 4 series going on right now are f***ing fantastic and the other is the watching paint drylanders vs mid transition to AV hockey Flyers.

Honestly, better ratio than most years

The Rangers are not going to be making wholesale trades. I could see one or perhaps two complimentary moves but the laundry lists of 4/5 trades are not going to happen. I like that we discuss a lot of different players but let’s be realistic, there’s no way the Rangers can bring in that much payroll and no one is going to be lining up to trade us young talent. It’s probably pick one solid acquisition, move out at least one, maybe two veterans and let’s the cards fall where they may.

Which is why I wouldn't be surprised if Fast is still here when next season starts.
