Around the NHL - Part XXXVI

[2014nyr]

here we go again..cross border travel suspended til after christmas break? yea, ok

this ain't ending anytime soon. canada going to create massive obstacle for league to work around.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Pain.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

We aren't going to get any help from the shitty Devils are we.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Pain.

It does hurt especially with Blais done for the year and Kravs in Russia. Thank you for reminding me once again.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Piles once again managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

When I read this, 'How sweet it is to be loved by you' started playing in my head.

Gotta love it. F*ck 'em.

Pissed they didn’t win. They are useless. Lol.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Pavel Buchnevich scoring points again.

 

[bl02]

I thought the Devils were supposed to be much improved and challenging for a playoff spot?! Seems like they are on track for their regular tanking again. Probably the worst team in the division.

 

[McRanger92]

NHL is using the holiday break as a semi pause. By the time they start playing again the league will have adopted the same vaxxed/asymptomatic protocols the NFL just did. Season keeps moving along

 

[TheBloodyNine]

7 wins in a row for the Penguins.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Caps loss is YUGE.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Georgiev > Blackwood. lmfao. Back to a tie at .902 2.87 vs .902 3.14.

Remember when he was the next great goaltender?

 

[Kords]

Happy the Caps lost, but the Pens have clawed their way back into relevance which kinda sucks

 

[PuckLuck3043]

I'm never pissed when they don't win. They won't win the lottery either. They will probably win some games in March and Lou will think they can make a playoff run and he trades their first and they miss playoffs.

it does suck but just means we are gonna have to take care of business against teams like the Pens and Bruins. Mostly its gonna make it tough for teams like the Islanders to crack that final playoff spot which could be around 95 points this year in the East.

Why? loser points are perfect for them. They will fall short and hit around 80-85 points about 10 points shy of the final playoff spot and hopefully Lou will trade off another of their first rounders for that late "push"
The Devils are the team that worry me since they look to be tanking for another top 5 pick

Don't worry, according to Isles fans they are about to make a run even though they haven't won 2 games in a row in a month and a half.

They played Vegas. Wanted Vegas to lose. I’m not worried about the Isles catching the Rangers, just not gonna happen. Gotta worry about Pittsburgh and maybe Columbus.

Run in their shorts more like it.

"With MacBlack in net against Shesterkin, I like our advantage in goal"

 

[SnowblindNYR]

There are MUCH better treatments, specifically early days when people just find out they have it that this shouldn’t be as large of a concern as many are discussing. Hospitals shouldn’t be as overwhelmed if doctors are prescribing aggressive combinations of meds.

Not sure the booster is going to be the answer to any of this but people should do what they believe is right for themselves.

From what I’ve read, Omicron is not as virulent as Delta. Like not even close. So in that case, and I hate to say this for fear of people being upset, but if there was a strain to get, it’s this one and not Delta.

Be proactive where you can.

I've read it's more virulent but more mild as well.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

"With MacBlack in net against Shesterkin, I like our advantage in goal"

Was this actually said?

ya, i snooped in their GDTs a while back, early season before their implosion

Damn, was this during the preseason? Because the one game we played against them Shesterkin was already a Vezina candidate.

Edit: Georgiev played that game. Maybe they didn't know he was playing though.
