Miscellaneous NHL Discussion XCIII: Spring has Sprung

[Cody Webster]

Underdogs 4-0 last night @Hollywood Cannon

That's not conclusive. Can't see the goal line.

It completely crossed; that was the best screen shot I could get. There was a better look, but I couldn't quite snip it.

 

[BernieParent]

Fun fact

Last 9 years, Kucherov has as many 3 point playoff games as the Flyers have games played .

21

That fact is not fun.

 

[DancingPanther]

The Avs could also use Hart. Look at all these playoff teams that Hart could elevate to cup favorites. I'm sure we'll see a trade shortly after the playoffs. Full faith in management

 

[deadhead]

Nobody is happier than the Flyers seeing Seattle win today.

Effort. Shutting down top talent.

Who'd have thought playoff hockey is about defense and goaltending?
Certainly not the Maple Leafs?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Nothing like results in a small sample size to confirm previous biases.

Tale as old as time.

“Pens series” was fun argument, but “I saw this thing on game day 1” is even better

Bunting is a good guy to have in fantasy because he does things that help all over the place.

I can't help but notice that every team that won did so by scoring goals.

Weird.

Serious question: how many orgs would see Hart as a significant upgrade to what they have in house?

 

[Tripod]

Not to mention...

L Schenn, McCabe, Lafferty, RoR this year
Giordano, Blackwell, Lubyushkin, Clifford, Foligno, etc... previous years


The Leafs HAVE added "grit" in the past/present.

Without hesitation, just from the playoff teams...
Toronto, Edmonton, NJ Devils, Florida (maybe, but they're quite tied up), Carolina (long term, but they don't pay for goalies). Non playoff teams looking to make a jump next year, you could easily add another 4 or 5 to that list.

Backed up Hart in juniors. Doesn’t have the preferred size but he’s been productive every step of the way.

What does he need to do to get an NHL opportunity?

Treliving already signed Vladar to a 2 year deal at real backup money, so probably get traded.

 

[FLYguy3911]

He and Levi went within the last 6 picks of their respective drafts only due to size.

Meanwhile, the Flyers picked..checks hockeydb.com, 6'3 goaltender Roddy Ross 1 round earlier lol

Scouts wanted Levi.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

I usually don’t get worked up over missing a guy in the 6th or 7th round. Every once in a while you find a diamond but the odds are usually low finding NHL talent that deep in the draft

The Flyers usually prefer to trade their 7th for Montreal's 7th the following year.

He’ll be in the NHL next year, they’ll find a taker for Vladar (though he didn’t have as good of a year as I thought) unless Markstrom has a conveniently mysterious injury.

[GKJ]

He must have really pissed someone off. 3 games in the playoffs is like 10 regular ones

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Seems fair. His regular season history this season didn’t help his case.
