Around The NHL V

Personally, I am not impressed by HF's favorite Alex Pietrangelo.

Neither am I. For a consensus top 5 defenseman I've really never seen him play like one.

His best season was two years ago, and even then I didn't think he was like the elite of the elite.

AV favorite Shane O'Brien is on waivers.

RT @FriedgeHNIC: Shane O'Brien (CAL) and Mikael Samuelsson (DET) on waivers


Would be a big upgrade over Falk as the 7th dman... would add a lot of toughness on the defense..

Yeah, don't agree there.

Shane O'Brien is absolutely god awful.

He and McD are not as far apart as HF will make you try to believe. Hell, JayBo might be having a better season than Pietrangelo.

If he can't even crack Colorado's top 7, he isn't as good as you think.

well AV seems to like him.. he played him a lot over Ballard who was a much better dman.

 

[Thunderhead]

Can anyone explain how the wild card works ? Thank you.

he would give something this team lacks. some physical play on the defense and he would only be a 7th dman. im just saying that AV likes him from his days on the Canucks, and Rangers did have interest in the past so im just throwing it out there...

AV just didn't like Ballard.

Well garry bettman wanted to **** on the rivalries in the west and make our division about 100 times worse so yea thats the wild card

The wild card positions go to the two highest point getting teams in the conference, that aren't in the top three of their division.

Lol, I see but, how many teams will make the wild card ?

 

[Thunderhead]

Martin threw a big hit on Sobotka but, he hurt himself real bad .

Thanks.

 

[Raspewtin]

Two in each conference.

Here's fictional standings to give you an idea

Atlantic:
Team A-100
Team B-99
Team C-98
Team D-90
Team E-89
Team F-78
Team G-77
Team H-50

Metropolitan:
Team Q-99
Team R-98
Team S-95
Team T-91
Team U-89
Team V-86
Team W-85
Team X-40

In this case, the top three in each division make it by default.

The wild card spots would go to team T and team D, they have the highest points out of teams that missed the top three spots in their divisions. Both wildcard teams can come from the same division, too.

Blues get a PP, 9 minutes left in the game.

 

[Kokoschka]

Poulin has been outstanding for the Islanders this game. Stringing together a few good performances as of late. Also, Blues get absolutely zero bounces this game.

 

[Loff]

The Isles are beating STL. You can't make this **** up.

 

[Raspewtin]

The Blues are not getting ANY bounces this game. Oshie just hit their 4th goal post of the game.

 

[The Gloaming]

The Isles are beating STL. You can't make this **** up.

Loffen is posting in a non-GDT. You can't make this **** up.

 

[Kokoschka]

hOW THE **** DOES THIS STAY OUT?!

 

[Raspewtin]

"Has this been fun or what?!"

Shut up Darren.

 

[Bullseyes]

How does that not go in?!
