Miscellaneous NHL Discussion CXI: The Last One Went So Long Because I Didn't Know What The Next Number Was

[Magua]

Made me hopeful he was going to walk it back knowing that’s our best shot at a top pick next year. My current opinion is that they don’t don’t want to be good next year.

They’d rather pick 17th next year than 4th. I don’t even think it’s a question, honestly. They cannot stomach this.

That’s the track record. Have to hope Briere gets it and it’s is given the keys. God know why they would pass up on the chance to get a potential elite forward and dman the next two drafts.

This is one of the most revealing Briere quotes in the New Era of Orange:

“But like I said, when you’re not spending $12 million on a player, or even two like Edmonton does… Colorado has three or four high-end guys. We’re not going to be built that way. So depth will be important to us.”

Not being locked into multiple elite franchise players is the plan.

One more year of a bottom 5 finish and Briere will probably get fired.

So dumb. If that is the case, there is literally no point following this team.

 

[Magua]

I’d want Dallas to win normally. But since we have Colorado’s pick, I’m rooting for Colorado.

Definitely puts the McDavid plan in some doubt!

 

[Nizzle]

Such an idiotic play by Benn

The McDavid plan is already at risk. They needed to lose in the first round haha. Going to have to win the lottery now.

The longer this goes, the less I want someone to score

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Josh Manson shorthanded. Always someone you least expect in a game 7.

 

[GKJ]

Off the post and in, shorthanded goal for Josh Manson.

1 goal this season, 2 in this series

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Same.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Two teams tentatively feeling each other out cautiously. Dallas however has to be concerned. 10 shots through 2 periods and 0 goal in a game 7 at home is bad.

 

[Curufinwe]

These Subban segments suck shit.

 

[GKJ]

MacKinnon 2-0

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Dallas sucks. They are missing their best player but they are still a loaded team and shouldn’t be laying an egg in a game 7 in the 1st round

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Looking likely Avs are going to win with Stars effort thus far being so lacking, if this is all Stars can bring to a game 7 they deserve to lose

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Dallas is like a rich man’s Carolina because they’ve at least been to the finals. Still, if they go without a cup through this era, it has to be a disappointment

 

[GKJ]

Rantanen gets one back

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Dallas has life somehow

 

[BillDineen]

Terrible penalty to take

 

[ponder719]

While true, we can still place our hope in the fact that they're also really, really stupid and terrible at their jobs.

 

[Cody Webster]

Neccas took a terrible tumble into the boards there

 

[GKJ]

Rantanen scores again

 

[Cody Webster]

Well f***
