Around the League - 2024-2025 Part II

[MSZ]

Nathan Mac is killing Edmonton so far in the first period. 2.03 pts per game in his last 64 home games.

 

[MCR74]

LOL

And he's got plenty of time left to completely sink the team beyond recognition. You hate to see it.

 

[Evilhomer]

Florida and Tampa pretty much guaranteed at this point to meet in the first round again. I might actually pick Tampa to win this time.

They mentioned in the game last night about playing the Avs tonight.

Analysts did not expect a good outcome on a back-to-back against a rested Avs team.

And currently Oilers outshooting them 16-8.

 

[ACC1224]

Oilers are pretty good.

Mac leading Connor 2-1, but scored tied now.

 

[ULF_55]

Oilers are pretty good.

McDavid can play near his ceiling more minutes than most other players.

McDavid can play near his ceiling more minutes than most other players.

Well said. He is machine like in his ability to do that.

Impressive win by the Oilers.

 

[BallardEra]

Oilers come back from being down 3-0 and win 4-3.

On a back-to-back.

Bouchard shows what a point shot is used for.
Bouchard can pick his spot, not just blast Phaneuf style.

And they beat them in Colorado on the back half of the two games. That’s very hard to do.

Impressive win by the Oilers.

I've always been suprised he doesn't get two points a game every year. He looks like the tripe A guy that would play in the summer house league.

 

[arso40]

Oilers are pretty good.

Imagine they had Tanev

 

[leafs in five]

Stu Skinner stood tall at the end. what a finish

Any other player.

Stu Skinner stood tall at the end. what a finish

Oilers flubbed a couple clearing attempts, including McDavid.

Previous night they were talking about how few empty net goals they have scored, compared to some other teams.
Oilers have 6 empty net goals, Avs have 18. Oilers are 4th. best team, points percentage, Avs 11th. Most of the better teams have more empty net goals.

that's wild. statmuse says Rantanen has 7 EN goals already this year, wonder how many of Mackinnon's points are

 

[capfit9]

Jarry debacle just one part of Dubas’ disastrous timeline as Penguins’ GM


Hallelujah.

 

[leafsfan5]

the obsession some of you have with Dubas is crazy

Who cares what he's doing in Pittsburgh

 

[BallardEra]

that's wild. statmuse says Rantanen has 7 EN goals already this year, wonder how many of Mackinnon's points are

He's had a lot of EN points this season.

 

[BallardEra]

Logan Thompson has been a huge surprise so far this season:

 

[Dekes For Days]

that's wild. statmuse says Rantanen has 7 EN goals already this year, wonder how many of Mackinnon's points are

Fun fact: Almost 9% of Rantanen's career points and over 10% of his career goals are into an empty net.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Who knew that goals and points that clinch games when the opposing team has an extra skater and typically far more possession are bad things?

You mean the goals and points that are massively easier to score, are more representative of opportunity, and generally have less impact on the outcome of a game?

Bad thing? No. As much of a good thing as other points? No.

Do the soccer guys in Switzerland agree with that?
