GDT: HFBoards GDT: 3/24/2025 | Well I can count to 4 at least.

Should be a good Prime game.

I made cookies with 10 year old Betty Crocker mix. I ate them all over the last 4 days. No injuries.

E40 played about 3 fantastic games this year, including the last few.

It feels like this year, everything that could have gone wrong for Vancouver has gone wrong. Almost everything that could have gone right for them last year went right (until injuries did them in come playoff time). Average this year and last year out and that’s more like who they really are.

I feel like the subtext here is that my Caps are in for a rough ride next year. And I don’t like it…

That’s where you went wrong. If you’re trying to get injured while eating, you’re supposed to try it with pancakes, not cookies. Ask Dustin Penner about that one.

The Devils feel Denis Cholowski gives them a better chance to win than Simon Nemec, tonight.

I think it depends on the guys who took a big step forward this year to keep it up. It’s not something I would count on happening, but you never know, and there could very well be someone else who takes a step forward to even out, say, Dylan Strome, regressing a bit. You never know.

That’s my favorite word in English: “you never know.”

It’s wild how out of favor Nemec has become there. Not sure what the deal is - maybe Keefe just sucks.

Someone had to eat that contract.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Well Columbus having trouble with a mediocre trash team

 

[Anti Hangman]

This game should be a layup for Joisey

Only if they get riddled with injuries

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Only if they get riddled with injuries

They are nowhere near as good as their record but they should make the playoffs next year.

 

[RedRocking]

I wish we could fall to M2 and play Jersey in the first round. Lucky Canes.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Skate, pass , shoot , score you just can't stop the Pius...

 

[robertocarlos]

If you go to church, you are Pius.

 

[hangman013]

Kovacevic needs to watch his own stick better than that.

 

[Matty Sundin]

Unlikely though it’s be a massive meltdown if Devils somehow missed the playoffs

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Looks lkike the Jackets are fading away even with the return of Monahan.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Holy f*** what a pass by Hughes

 

[Matty Sundin]

Pretty much over for them and Detroit tonight if they lose I think

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Good lord the Blue Jackets are absolute garbage....

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Good lord the Blue Jackets are absolute garbage....

I think it's more of a case of a useless waste of a coach. Even an idiot like Roy can outcoach him.

 

[Breakers]

Kovacevic needs to watch his own stick better than that.

Keefe frothing at the mouth to throw him under the bus the again in the post game

 

[Mr Nogatco]

It’s wild how out of favor Nemec has become there. Not sure what the deal is - maybe Keefe just sucks.

In my experience guys drafted that high tend to be treated with favoritism at every turn so if he’s being consistently beat out by journeyman that might reflect more on him than it does the org

 

[Mr Nogatco]

Holy f*** what a pass by Hughes

Specification needed

Vancouver was very good the last 30 games under Tochett his first year and carried that basically all of last year.
I mean I don't think it's a homer take to say any team would struggle without their vezina calibre goalie for 60 games with the replacement rocking a 904 save % and the backup 856%.
You then add 21 games no Hronek, the JT saga, EP not healthy all year until the last 8-10 games, Quinn missing 14 Brock 8 games etc etc.
Ive watched the sport for 40+ years and honestly haven't quite seen a season where a black cloud has been hovering this long.

Forget everything else and just insert Demko healthy all year and we are likely 3rd in the Pacific.

People gush over Lankinen and he's had a good season but for reference, both duck goalies have a better save% and the nucks have a much stingier defense.
Blown leads and OT losses like we've had I don't see happening with Demko, especially last year's version.
