Miscellaneous NHL Discussion: "The March is On" edition

PSA, I saw what you originally posted.

I assumed all mods could read edits. I just didn’t want to overflow into other threads too much.

 

[WolfOfBroadStreet14]

Ranked him 15th! But you know this.

Appropriate to Robertson, I just came across this too (last sentence, 1st paragraph).

Ratcliffe and Strome.

What was/is your take on Nicholas Hague?

 

[Domino666]

Ovi is a stud got 719 & 720 tonight sinking the Rags

There's something sweet about hearing other commentary crews whine about officiating.

It makes me cringe every time JJ does it.

John Garrett is whining like a mule about a late penalty that cost the Canucks a regulation win.

What was/is your take on Nicholas Hague?

He was a mediocre skater with gawky size to him in his draft year, but I actually really liked him. Not usually my profile pick. But I always loved his offense and thought he was a high IQ player. I had him #21, looking at it. I thought I may have overrated him after WJC camp. I can’t say I’ve followed him the last couple years, but it seems he’s doing more than okay.

JT Miller just scored an absolute beauty to win the game in OT for Vancouver.

They cancelled practice yesterday after Sean Kuraly tested positive but didn't cancel last night's game? That's just stupid....

but yet forced the Flyers to play the outdoor game with similar number players unavailable..

nice rules NHL...

Their goaltending is a tire fire too.

Makes me feel a little bit better.

Ya this is the stupidest shit I’ve seen. I wanna hear an actual justification for this. Absolute bullshit.

It seems like every team is going to have its moments with a Covid outbreak. Also they’ll be facing a rash of injuries, some serious, due to the contracted schedule. When that happens the team hits the skids. The Flyers have had their run with these things and so have the Bruins and Caps. The Isles will have theirs.
The issue is how does the team play after the rough stretch? The depth of talent for the franchise may well determine who makes the POs and who doesn’t. The Flyers could have an edge here if guys like Laczynski, Hogberg, Sandin and even Lyon and York get a shot and perform. Bringing in Prosser and AA isn’t the answer. The Flyers need better output than those two.

Yup. Killing me in fantasy. I was running away with the league regular season, too.

Money is your answer.

His skating seems to have improved. He seems to have gotten better each year and I think he has a legit shot to be a top 4 dman, wouldn’t surprise me if he ended up even better.

Bruins situation is different. Four addiotnal players tested positive yesterday, game is today. Outdoor game was a week later.
And there could be more Bruins who test postive today and beyond.

Not cancelling thurs game vs Sabres was stupid, when they knew a player was positive. Now they exposed another team.

Did any of the Sabres actively try to drink out of the Bruins' water bottles during the game?

Looks like playing NHL back in the day & always picking the retro jerseys.

love those jerseys! NJ of course...not the shit Pens.

 

[Stumble40]

hmmmm that’s wierd
I guess they won’t be forced to play with an AHL roster and moving D men to wing?

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Yup, just making shit up as they go along. This league.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Colorado is good. Saad & Towes were nice moves for them this offseason to improve on what they already had.

 

[renberg]

The TDL is April 12. Canadian teams that want to make trades with US franchises need to start making moves soon since a player moving to Canada from the US needs to sit out a fourteen day quarantine before they can play. In light of that the moves might start to happen this week. I can see both Edmonton and Toronto doing things.

Good username. Second best Flyer ever. I lived in Paris, he's from Quebec, and even in my mind I always pronounce his last name with the correct French accent. In about six months I'm gonna post something about my third best Flyer ever. Gotta wait for secret reason.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Jesus. Friedman continuing to push the goalie controversy narrative in Toronto because Andersen is getting a complete night off today with Campbell in net and Hutchinson as the back up.

He just can't help himself.
