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

Hello sweet prince


Not that I know of, but it's given a voice to a whole bunch of idiots that watch hockey. The harm goes beyond the PR for a team. Real people think it's ok to treat other real people horribly because things like this happen

Thanks. Just wondering if I missed anything on this front.

I found it hilarious/ironic that the Lightning did it, considering the circumstances in that lovely state.

Panthers have been doing it a while I believe. Or at least similar things

Yup! Just gave me a chuckle, that's all. Especially in the wake of the Flyers' situation

Carolina has revitalized Brent Burns.

 

[Rebels57]

Do you know who participated in pride night?

Claude friggin' Giroux.

Pffftt. That's not the type of culture Torts and the Flyers are building.

 

[Curufinwe]

This will be Provorov's legacy. Hope he's "proud."

That and being the only/oldest virgin in the NHL.

 

[Starat327]

Locker room cancer, right there. No wonder Torts had to change the culture.

Its true. He was trying to teach Provorov not to be an ignorant prick, and Provorov said he didnt want Giroux here, so Fletcher obliged, because Provorov gets whatever he wants, despite earning absolutely none of it.

That's a question only @Appleyard can answer

Pacing for 156 right now.

But as we are having another high scoring season that would be around ~150 adjusted points.

2020-21 was probably more impressive, marginally, but ofc 56 games does not make it look the same.

Now, it is amazing and likely a top ~10 all-time full season.

But Gretzky probably has ~5-6 seasons better than it to be honest. Lemieux ~2.

Then have Morenz's crazy 1927-28 which, vs peers, is probably best ever. ~34% better than 2nd best. While McDavid currently is at 29% better.

Watching this alongside a 0 Goal Flyers game was an experience.

Torts woulda called him over n benched him...

My nephew is in Buffalo reveling in their utter annihilation by the Stars tonight. He's been shown on the Stars broadcast numerous times after goals.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

A lot of OT tonight. Thankfully wasn't the case in Carolina...

perfect night for metro points outcomes

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Boston loses their first game of the year when scoring first, leading after one, and leading after two.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Patrick Brown with his first as a Senator.

 

[Devonator]

Pffftt. That's not the type of culture Torts and the Flyers are building.

Thankfully so!

Sens continuing to roll

Going to be hard for them to sneak into the playoffs. They need to get red hot.

They had a lot of additions this past year. So probably next year is a better bet.

Go on.

They're only 4 points out with 18 games left

Pittsburgh isn't a slouch. Realistically they have a better chance of catching the Islanders but they've got be winning a lot.

That's a lot of maybes.

I think there's a bit of truth to "if you can get in the playoffs, anything can happen". Sometimes it can take a bit of time for a good team to gel and faulting out the gate at the beginning of the season can make it hard to catch back up.

I say they make it and the Pens miss. I'm going to will this into existence.
