Miscellaneous NHL Discussion LXXXVIII: The Liaison of Doom

Asplund is a man of culture.

Lyubushkin

He only has 3 goals in 211 career games, but I hope he scores 10, all on home ice, this year.

 

[Curufinwe]

Idk why but j was expecting tortz to ask him what his pronouns are lmaooooo

He’s a shooter who isn’t very accurate, coach.

I do remember. Guy couldn't fill the net in the playoffs and got bounced.

Tragic story if you ask me.

They couldn't defeat the defensive specialist, non-scoring Avalanche, right?

Speaking of scoring in the playoffs, this is still one of my favorite dumbass hockey guy moments

WOOOOOF.

Much as I prefer gaslighting and not playing "high floor" prospects.....

Did Colorado really only have 3 shots in the first?

 

[Kelmitchell2]

The avs look hung over lol. They're playing like shit

Marchment with 2 goals as well. That was one of the more intriguing UFA gambles. No really projectable track record across any level, former ECHL player, 47 points in 54 games at age 26 along with elite play-driving. Maybe Hodgson can be our Marchment. Fingers crossed.

 

[flyerslducks]

Still don’t understand why giroux didn’t consider the avs last year..

 

[Striiker]

We certainly couldn't use this type of player. Two perfect passes to set up goals. Nothing complicated, just quick and decisive puck moving.

Also appears to be moving pretty damn well for someone who you'd think was a paraplegic if you listened to dishonest Flyers fans who are desperate to pretend the trade was anything but a horrific disaster.

His off puck movement, his body fakes, his edges…..I’m sorry, but Tony DeAngelo cannot replicate what he does at his best (Keith Yandle was close!). DeAngelo is one of the more purely skilled defenders, and I’m not talking production, but a healthy Gostisbehere is just different with how he moves and thinks. There’s an unpredictability factor. There’s a reason a guy like Makar name dropped him stylistically.

Nice move by Boldy, but some pissant goalie play.

You mean the Ghost who had 2 assists on the PP (with the other D-man), but posted a 19.55% xGF (-5.78 xGFrel)?

He'll get his points, so will the other team.

Is this a new version of the JXC parrot or something?

 

[Striiker]

It may interest you to know that, in addition to it being a tiny cherrypicked sample and completely worthless, it's also thanks to playing with one awful defensemen, Josh Brown, for more than half the game because outside of that time Ghost had a 50.79 xGF% (+20.47 rel) on a team with an overall xGF% of 24.49%

Unsurprisingly Josh Brown is a big, unskilled defensemen who has consistently been a terrible possession player his entire career.

Isn't fuller context more interesting?

Usually is.

Ghost found his new Hagg

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Wait, when in the f*** did Brent Burns become a Cane?

It’s still sinking in for me too. We got him for a third round pick, a fourth liner, and a so-so goaltending prospect. And San Jose retained like 1/3 of his salary. Having competent management is fun.
