MVP! MVP! MVP!

He is our 3rd best defender unironically.

 

[quat]

Dam, what's that on the screen?!


Imac. lol

 

[MS]

Bo Horvat back to scoring big goals and likely missing the playoffs. The man might be cursed to only play under dinosaur GMs.

Guy was an idiot to re-sign with NYI.

 

[sting101]

Duclair sucks.

yes you're right just saw the highlights and am not thrilled with Suter.

Panthers were happy to rid themselves of his brutal defensive play and inconsistent efforts. Can look good at times similar to Kuzmenko

 

[Ace of Hades]

Here for the 3rd.hows the game been?

Very solid. Just need to get the power play rolling.

 

[geebster]

Here for the 3rd.hows the game been?

First period was pretty even but they suffocated us defensively. One mistake ended up in our net. Second period was all us. Amazing goal by Pettersson

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

Here for the 3rd.hows the game been?

Meh first, dominant second. Petey scored a nice goal.

 

[Tables of Stats]

Hoglander is quietly becoming one of this team's most important players.

To win a cup I agree. But I've never even seen 8.5M in my life.

 

[ziploc]

On a side note, My God Stankoven with another goal. The kid is an amazing hockey player. Time to start scouting our own back yard. Delorme has to be better.

This is like saying wasps should stop being assholes and start making honey like their hillbilly cousins, the bees. We all want it to happen, but it just never will.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Guy was an idiot to re-sign with NYI.

Nah, he’s getting paid to live on LI. And idk if it’s unfair but looking back how much did he really care about winning?

He and Athanasiou are basically the same player. Nice talents, not a lot of IQ, bad defensive players, bad team scorers.

 

[Jovofan]

That was maybe the best Pettersson has looked in a month.

One last one: can you do Iain Macintyre in a basement with a laptop

 

[Flik]

Hoglander is quietly becoming one of this team's most important players.

Absolutely, he's untouchable for a trade now.

 

[NailsHoglander]

Hoglander is quietly becoming one of this team's most important players.

And some people are ok with trading him for a rental

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

I don’t get the hate for Suter. He is not getting paid to drive a line he is a good complementary player. Can play multiple positions and is producing at a nice rate mostly at 5 on 5.

There was a time y’all thought I was crazy for saying Hogs ceiling is higher than Pods.

I still very well might be.

 

[Canuckle1970]

That's wonderful for Brisebois. Wishing him all the best in Abby and going forward.

 

[Bobby9]

AND BOBBY9 GOES CRAZY!!!!

BEAN POLE BABYYYY

Why are you so rattled by me?

It’s not like you spent 15 years of your life and put up 70,000 posts about a sport you don’t know anything about?

That would be super weird to one day realize.

Look, I’ve had this discussion enough to know where it usually ends up, when I hear these arguments it always comes down to nothing to do with actually getting tougher, heavier, or stronger. It’s always just another way of saying you want basketball players without saying you want basketball players.

Steve Bernier was a big guy, and I’m sure if when he did hit he hit the puck handler and not the glass beside him, he would’ve been great. If you want toughness, and aggression I’m all here for that, I want those players.

But if you just want like f***ing Mantha, Hoglander already plays much bigger than him.

I think we’ve already made a massive mistake committing 12 million dollars to player that: Sulks, goes cold for weeks on end, has no edge to his game, gets beat in many physical battles.

And now we’re are likely to sign Hronek to 7M+ contract to cement many of our highest paid players

We’ve already made a big mistake spending 12M on EP.

That high of a cap hit for a player that: Goes cold for weeks on end, can’t play a heavy game that’s required to win in the playoffs and sulks? Nightmare contract.

Now people actually wanna spend 7M+ on Hronek? Another point generating player that can’t excel in a playoff atmosphere?

Nightmare long term contracts coming up.

You need some of those big cap hits to be big skilled players. Not all but we’re spending to much on soft players.

I agree Suter imo has played well and worth his contract

 

[ephmrl]

Murph desperately trying to wrap up the segment, but imac won't stop talking

 

[Dtrain88]

Here for the 3rd.hows the game been?

About to get lit

 

[bh53]

I'm glad Brisebois is doing well now

I don’t get it either. He was brought in to play on the third line and be solid defensively with some
Offensive upside. He’s being put in positions that he’s not supposed to be in
