Around the NHL: Part XXXIV

[Tob]

@Cmox @bl02 the true Around the NHL thread champs for being able to talk hockey still when everyone is too upset to talk hockey seeing Quenville coach tonight.

How did we barely score 2 goals vs Toronto?

Our superstars are incompetent. Other teams' superstars are legit and mostly consistent

 

[Synergy27]

pretty goal by Dach one on one vs Muzzin. Looking forward to Kakko doing that friday night.

I came here to make a slightly more snarky remark about that goal. Will refrain.

As I bitch about my yahoo fantasy team. But I dont forget. I can multitask. Sadly many can’t.


Edit: not dissing on our NYRhffam but it seems apparent many people today can’t focus, let alone focus on more than 1 one thing.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

I can’t believe Queenville is coaching tonight what an embarrassment. Good on Beach tho the amount of courage to be able to publicly talk about what happened to him is insane

 

[LokiDog]

Honestly, I hope Ovie shocks everyone and breaks out another 60 goal season. The dude is just unstoppable.

Not sure how to respond to this. I guess I am being insensitive for not knowing more about the situation and talking about the Leafs game instead? I won't post anymore today about anything unrelated to the horrible events that happened.

no no i wasn't being mean. I'm not sure what my point was either.

I’m drunk, what’s your excuse ? ​

 

[Tob]

Quenville and Bettman and the Panthers carrying on is basically their way of showing how arrogant and confident they are that this will blow over and they'll be able to survive this even with how social media works nowadays.

 

[LOFIN]

I'll admit, I'm kinda enjoying the fact that Toronto is losing again. Most people are understandably cheering against the hawks but it will be so entertaining if the leafs lose tonight.

I genuinely believe the psyche of the Leafs is beyond broken. Marner is psychologically damaged, at least in Toronto. Will be interesting to see how they handle what's to come.

I just looked at what the Pat Nemeth buyout is going to cost in his final year to take my mind off of it, doesn’t look too bad lol.

They got pajama boy. That was their victory of the modern era. And it cost them any shot at a real victory.

He'll be what, 31 entering the final year? The old boys in the NHL love veteran defensive defensemen, gotta think someone would take him in a trade. Maybe we retain but still. Can't imagine his contract would be problematic for us.

I mean if someone--a good team no less!--will take a 34-year-old Jack Johnson for $750k, someone will be willing to take Nemeth at 31 for $1.75 or whatever.

Ironically, Jack Johnson was essentially Nemeth’s replacement in Colorado.

What kind of drunk? What are we drinking? Details. It’s f***ing frigid here today so I came home and poured a generous glass of… Trader Joe’s “wheat bourbon”. I’m not sure it’s actually proper bourbon, but it is pleasant and the wheat flavor mellows it down nicely. At 45% and very sippable, Trader Joe’s liquor is making me a believer. $17.99 helps.

Washington and Detroit when people are checking the scores to see Chicago and Florida lose

I’m honestly not good with liquor. I’d be worse than now posting. Sadly, I’m drinking wicked Redd’s 8% ontop of twisted tea ( no bully) on top of the evil forbidden fruit slushy that only PA sells. Had a long day. Don’t let me even mention the Micheal Cera horror movie I watched earlier today.

 

[ElLeetch]

Ovechkin is just an animal.

36 years old, 8 goals in 6 games and 1 period.

and still throwing dirty hits.

I could never like him as a player. he is a scumbag.

 

[Rangerboy030]

I hope I never find myself in a situation similar to Kyle Beach.

But if I do have that misfortune, I hope I have it in me to face it with the courage that he has.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Watching Detroit’s young players step up makes me a sad panda.

 

[Synergy27]

Flyers getting their shit utterly pushed in but somehow grab a 1-0 lead on a Frolov.

 

[LokiDog]

So, I have had a decent amount of whiskey tonight, but my wife and I recently (finally) started The Walking Dead, and if you can honestly tell me this man shouldn’t play Brian Leetch, idk what to tell you.
