Miscellaneous NHL Discussion XCIV: From Ghost to Hakstol and all things in between

[GKJ]

Arvidsson 2-0. Skinner a bit leaky

 

[Cody Webster]

Loilers

 

[GKJ]

If the Kings had goaltending id consider them a Finals contender. They've scored strongly all year and as I recall had ass tier goaltending. Basically the Bryz era Flyers with offense to win, but struggling to outscore their goalie nightly

They have Korpisalo now who has ruled in this series

 

[GKJ]

Kopitar, 3-0

 

[Cody Webster]

ROFL

 

[Magua]

The Kings acquiring Fiala's rights for #19 + Faber, Danault as a UFA for $5.5MM x 6 years, and Arvidsson for #40 + #84 in a 12 month period is a perfect representation of the Flyers' failures in their "win now" mandate. That's an entire proven top 6 line created out of thin air at a relatively cheap cost on multiple axes. Whether or not the Flyers should've made moves like this is a separate discussion from the fact they totally fell flat on their face trying.

So uh. Who can actually complete a McDavid deal? Detroit? Buffalo? …the Devils?

 

[sauce88]

Again, the haul they could get trading Hart to some of these playoff teams.

Whoever gets the Bedard pick, maybe?

 

[snoop88]

I'm a sucker for a good heartbreaking upset. Edmonton fans really thought this was the year.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

The Edmonton media should be a hoot.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

*deep breath* I don’t think he returns that pick.

Is there anyone in the bottom 11 that would trade that pick in for a win now piece? You’d need a ready to win team AND a market that can keep stars. I would guess best case for Edmonton in such a deal is a lower lottery team moving up but not to 1?

Now that's a hypothetical. Put my crazy ass down for not trading that pick for McDavid.

 

[DancingPanther]

McDavid = Trout but better

 

[Magua]

I thoroughly enjoy watching Doughty f*** up. I know they stink in the playoffs, but what lead against McDavid and Draisaitl do you even need to feel safe? Double digits?

Well with those 2 chokers you can probably win 1-0 every game. Don't worry about the near record setting ppg pace last postseason

 

[Deadpool8812]

Funny how McDavid gets taken out away from the play with no call, but less would happen to Crosby and he would always get the call, especially in the playoffs

 

[GKJ]

Oilers back to 3-3 after 2

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

Hockey is more fun in the playoffs. Ya know, when you're not watching the Flyers. Hate watching was kind of fun this year, but next I'll be half interested, especially depending on the direction ofthe off-season goes. But this is fun hockey. I miss that.

So intent to blow the whistle doesn't exist now? Only when they want it to?

The first time i heard of this rule i thought, "Intent to Blow" has to be a porn name, no?

 

[FLYguy3911]

Nurse is a brain fart waiting to happen.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Nurse had the highest salary (7th in cap hit) of any Defenseman in the league this year. Professionals.

Runs in the family

McDavid is a gift and a curse. He gets these guys paid to a level they never would anywhere else.

 

[DancingPanther]

Hey look McDavid with another assist that's crazy

 

[CutOnDime97]

Very dirty hit by Kempe
