Miscellaneous NHL Discussion XCII: A buyer's or seller's market?

[Flyerfan4life]

It’s worse though.

you mean unlike the last 13 yrs Bill ??

idiot....

 

[NateThompson44]

As far as who I’m rooting for to win the Cup, it’s:
1. Carolina (Ghost & Brindy)
2. Ottawa (ridiculous longshot I know, but G winning would be the ultimate FU to Cuck)
3. Tampa (I live near Jacksonville & most of my local friends are Bolts fans)

I live in NYC and all I want is for the Rangers to go to the Stanley Cup final and lose. Preferably in game 7. A first round exit will not cut it. I want maximum pain.

Don't give af who wins this year, but G or Ghost getting their due would be nice

 

[GapToothedWonder]

Show me one player who was a point per game player in the 80s who has even scored at a 0.50 p/pg pace from 2020 onwards. One. Just one. Anyone at all.

They can’t keep up. The game is on a different level now.

You know he had to go look up Jagr's stats before throwing this out there.

Scummy Blackhawks

Well in cech league Jagr did put up PPG numbers and now is half PPG.

I thought you were from Alaska?

I don't like asking these questions on the mainboard, because that place is just a cesspool

But let's say Connor hits 65/150

Does he have an argument for the greatest season of all time (adjusted for for era, of course)

150 would be impressive, but even if you adjust for era there's still a 60+ point gap between him and Gretzky's best season.
For half a decade there was always a 70+ point gap between Gretzky and the next best player in the league at that time. The gap between McDavid and Draisaitl is 28 points.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Byfield is starting to have a small breakout as LA has given him an expanded role. He could be a big breakout guy to watch next year.

How can such a thing be possible without marinading in the AHL for 6-8 years??

[DancingPanther]

I'm so glad they're standing up for what they believe in

 

[BigToe]

I forgot how fun it is to watch Ghost

 

[renberg]

Wild won’t wear Pride jerseys in warm ups. There’s a place for Provorov

 

[Cody Webster]

Smart move

 

[BigToe]

The Avs are so good. Why can't we be like this?

[Hollywood Cannon]

That's Joe Sakic on the right there, right? They're basically the same person.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

LOLLLL.

Ghost is -2.

Git gud scrub.

 

[Beef Invictus]

I noticed the xGA stats for Canes dmen tonight we're generally at their best when they played with Ghost.

Weird, huh.

Weird, huh.

Ghost’s partner fell down and fell asleep on multiple goals, while he was in position and/or defending odd mans, and I saw some Canes fans blaming him being a PP specialist because he ate the minus for it. Tale as old as time.

Tough new for Mike Stothers. Former Flyer. Drafted 43 years ago?! Time flies.

Ducks assistant Mike Stothers diagnosed with Stage 3 melanoma

The former Ontario Reign head coach, who was diagnosed with the skin cancer more than 20 years ago, says it has spread to his lymph node.

www.ocregister.com

IRVINE — Ducks assistant coach Mike Stothers stood in a room at Great Park Ice with a handful of media members and several team staffers and started to talk about the series of events leading to his recent diagnosis with stage three melanoma of the lymph node.​

​

Stothers got to the day he heard the news from his oncologist Maki Yamamoto on Feb. 21 when the Ducks were in Tampa, only a few hours before their game against the Tampa Bay Lightning.​

​

“Give me a moment,” said an emotional Stothers on Saturday, pausing for a few seconds.​

​

Stothers, who turned 61 in February, is in charge of the defensemen and penalty-killing units.​

​

In a three-plus decades coaching career, Stothers is of an old-school ethic, using tough love when necessary but possessing genuine affection for the well-being of his players. When he informed the Ducks’ players after practice in Raleigh, N.C., on Feb. 24, Stothers did so with two goals in mind: to let them know of his own situation, but also urging them to be aware of their own health and to get checked out if something doesn’t feel right.​

​

“I’m a dad, and my whole life as a player I was a protector of my teammates and stuff like that,” Stothers said. “Figuring now maybe it’s time to help protect others from something turning into more than it should have been, if you could have got to it early and dealt with it then.”​

​

Said Ducks coach Dallas Eakins: “He’s one of the most giving, selfless people I know. For him to handle it this way is not surprising at all. His main concern right now is, ‘How can I help someone else get ahead of where I am right now?’​

​

“That’s all you need to know about that man.”​

Damn, sad to hear that. I hope he can beat this and make a full recovery.
