Miscellaneous NHL Discussion XC: Stoppage Time Not Required

[Chicken N Raffls]

The contrast is Bedard might step into the NHL and flirt with 40 goals. Only 2 players in the last 30 years have scored 40 as rookies, and Ovechkin and Matthews were 20 and 19 y.o. respectfully, not 18. Push it to 35 goals, and you can add Laine and Crosby. He should hit the ground running -- I don't expect him to have the same issues as someone like Jack Hughes, who was just not NHL ready physically. Bedard is special, and he'll probably be alternating Rockets with Matthews.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like he's going to be fun to watch. Too bad we don't ever get those types here.

Ovechkin is breaking the record. Just a matter of when now

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Ovi is ****ing awesome. All time favorite player and always will be. That is all.

He's going to look real good launching those drag snapshots off after Kane finds him in the soft spots on Chicago's PP.

Kane's days are numbered there.

Kane's days are numbered there.

Do they have no plans to bring him back in the off season? I honestly haven't followed it much other then knowing he is a UFA this year.

The 'when' will be interesting too though. Can he do it before his 1,487th game? That's the number of games Gretzky needed.

88 goals in 174 games seems possible.

I don’t believe so. I believe his & Toews’ days are coming to an end there.

Doesn't sound like it. I'm not sure he wants to be there either with the way they are tanking. He's well under a PPG and has a Yandle-esque -24 in 35 games.

JVR might be the better player these days.

We did it! We won the draft after all!

Curious if all those US athletes should be banned for all the nonsense wars they’ve done

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Incredibly fun 4-4 game between the Canes and Devils now going to a shootout.

The Flyers are chasms behind these two teams.

Definitely a game I was interested in watching. Good game by both teams.

I don’t know why but I just remembered the existence of Klefbom. Crazy that his career ended at 26 all the way back in 19-20. He was one of the few bright spots on the Oilers backend.

Is Chuck awake? Go get Zaitsev and a pick. It’s a fricken no brainer

Too bad this idiot has stuffed the team full of awful players so we’re both one of the worst teams in the league and at the max 50 contracts.

Its really easy to be legit sad when you see our roster/assets/cap situation. No BS

It's a good reminder that even a young player's career can just go away overnight due to one unfortunate injury.

Note that one of the replies claims this is is his pre-warmup get-up, still funny to think about

Fair enough I haven't watched any of their games, I saw his raw stats were all pretty ugly (for him) but assumed that was just the effect of being on such a crap team.

I also haven't paid attention to his contract stuff. Just figured since he has already won he might want to just stay in Chicago, and adding Bedard might help convince him to stay.

That being said the Flyers jumping to second in the draft and picking somebody that tops out as a low end 1st liner and Chicago winning the draft, taking Bedard and resigning Kane, whom lead the Hawks to a super fast rebuild and a cup in 3 years seems like the path of #maximumpain.

Letang can’t catch a break right now.
