Around The NHL: Part XXXI

[NYR94]

The Senators, Oilers and Canucks--three worst teams defensively and all in the same division. Auston Matthews is going to score 50 goals this year.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I'm convinced that OV is going to be potting 40 goal seasons in his 40's.

Also, If AV is ever elected to the HOF, they should just induct Lundqvist and Luongo a second time instead.

All time best I think is really in reach for him for sure. In my lifetime I've never seen anything like him. The only guy, aside from Sid who would just spank Hank regularly. And Hank is my favorite goalie ever and really only ever got taken to school by probably two of the 2-6 greatest scorers in the history of a 120+ year old sport.

F*ck AV, that complete assclown.

 

[bobbop]

It would if he's not signing there or wants a trade... otherwise maybe for bennet or a different player.

You need to learn a little bit more about Danault and better understand how teams think when they are Stanley Cup contenders. Montreal isn’t about to conduct a fire sale.

Ok well what decent centers are feasible now otherwise?

Ted Leonsis: Brian, can we go shop for more elite and experienced goaltending depth please?
MacLellan: no, we have Ilya Samsonov and Henrik Lundqvist at home
Goaltending depth at home:

I'd hope so. I'd love for him to break 900 goals.

It'd be great for the game too. Like the McGuire/Bonds race back in the day

 

[Synergy27]

Can you imagine swapping our #1 and #2 picks, for their #1 and #3? McDavid plus Drai, with the NYRs depth and management, would be near unbeatable around the league.

It’s better to be lucky and lucky than lucky and kinda unlucky. Or maybe it’s not because the Oilers still suck somehow. Winning the lottery at the right time really matters. Or maybe it doesn’t.

f***. I dunno.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

AV’s at it again

 

[RangersFan1994]

Laughton hat trick underrated player in my opinion

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Didn’t realize there was an early game today. The Flyers have been struggling lately this has got to feel good for them

7 goals on 23 shots lol. AV af

LOL...I kind of hope he never scores another NHL goal. Now..if he was a Ranger....then I would root for him.

 

[bobbop]

Right now, there really aren't any

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Mike Rupp is moving up in the world, looks like he’s starting to call games now?

 

[leetch99]

Canes and Columbus should be a fun game to watch...

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I like these Columbus sweaters

 

[duhmetreE]

LOL...I kind of hope he never scores another NHL goal. Now..if he was a Ranger....then I would root for him.

he's the greatest goal scorer in history. he should be at top

If he was a whiny bitch like Crosby when he first came up, then maybe I'd have a different tune.

 

[aufheben]

Looks like Hart is struggling and the Flyers are still having to rely on Elliott for a decent chunk of games.

“When he first came up”

 

[LokiDog]

I’m at the Stars Hawks game and it’s crazy to be in the building with only maybe 18% of seats filled and no artificial crowd noise. Can really hear the players talking and chirping.

 

[duhmetreE]

Ovi beat Carter Hart with a snapshot above the circle... how can you not respect that.

 

[NYRKing]

The Oilers are a crazy story. It’s too tough to watch the best two players in the world on such a wreck of a team year in and year out. Also hurts the game big time. I wonder what will happen with Nuge.

Who requests a trade first? McDavid or Draisatl?

How long can both of them, play at that level and be content with losing?

I'd give up a lot for either one
