Miscellaneous NHL Discussion XCIII: Spring has Sprung

[Flyerfan4life]

Could you imagine all the stuff someone like Lindros could truly tell us about this organization? The only reason why the fan base hated him was because Clarke was quick to go to the papers and talk to the media to give his side of everything and put all the blame on him. Lindros has never really said anything negative since it all went down and has obviously even buried the hatched.

Even Richards and Carter

id love to hear Voraceks opinions..

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

No if they win it’ll be because of Hyman and Ceci.

Avs won because of Manson last year after all.

Even Giroux now when it's pretty obvious they ditched him so he wouldn't break any of Clarke's records

You mean the team that had less depth than Fletcher-Flyers?

 

[Beef Invictus]

Meh, not as good as a core of Laughton and Cates.

And Seeler

Leafs doing another EBUG to get under the cap....so they can play Neis.

When I rule Celcius Time will be banned.

Karlsson’s been horrible defensively even isolating goal impacts this year. But the argument the mainstream media is making against him isn’t weighting how horrible SJ’s goaltending has been as well.

No respect for your Quackverse franchise, either.

I didn’t say the people would be banned or the places.

Just that they would function on Fahrenheit Time.

Pavelski hit 1000 tonight, as well.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Karlsson getting 100 was one of the last things I cared about left this year. If he leads the league in 5v5 Points, we’re going to have a discussion where this season ranks because it’s very, very high on every all time list or it’s wrong.

As always, f*** Matt Cooke.

-2 tonight, losing 6-2!

Certain people seeing this…

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Between G/Pavelski and Karlsson this has gotta be one of the craziest milestone nights we've seen in the NHL.

 

[FLYguy3911]

100 points by a defenseman on that team is stupid.

I wasn’t even 1 years old yet the last time a defensemen hit a 100.

G is the poster child for why you should expect top offensive players to play decent defense - because they CAN and still score. The idea if a player is good offensively they should get a pass on defense is a loser's mentality. Karlsson is a good example.

Great defense is skill and instincts, decent defense is primarily effort.
Losers pad their stats, winners do what they need to help their team win.

The shame for G is if Holmgren had started the rebuild in 2012, and built the team around G and Couts, he could have spent his career as a Flyer and had a shot at the Cup. Instead, by the time Hextall started in 2014, two years and asset value had been wasted, and he only had two playoff runs in his peak seasons.

Weird how you ignore the most wasteful and useless GM of them all. You know, the one who is actually the reason Giroux isn't a Flyer now. Hint: it's not Holmgren.

This is one hell of a time for an "Erik Karlsson is bad actually," take.
