News from Around the AHL/NHL/KHL 2023-24

[Throttle]

Tuned into the Buffalo game during intermission and man these guys are bad. They changed goalies and gave up another one a minute later, just getting tooled by Columbus. Wonder if Granato lasts much longer.

He’ll get fired too before the ASG game, if not earlier. Expectations are high (were). The GM refused to add a goalie, depth, experience, while riding career years of young players that had zero pressure to perform. Lottoland again.

Rough night in the division, almost every team won

 

[PK Cronin]

Seems so strange Toews isn't excited about his teammates running around trusting their instincts and abandoning structure. They have so much confidence that they think they're playing well too!

If you read between the lines, Toews said a similar thing about Barzal in 2020 but Lou had the evidence destroyed and shipped him away as punishment.

His teammates would fit in here like a glove. Ever since Lambert took the reins off everyone and told them to trust their instincts it’s been “Go Go Go.”

Okposo with a shorty v toronto tonight

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Leafs getting smacked, devils down. Think I saw it was 1-0 Pens over Canes at some point.

 

[duster19]

Caps win the back to back with travel.

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Caps win, that isn’t ideal. Pens over Canes is good, canes got the Islander patented loser point.

Devils getting wrecked 6-3 right now

 

[Zeeker]

Devils and Flyers lose in regulation, Canes get one point only, Caps get two points (wait, you’re allowed to win the second game of a back to back on the road?).

Overall a decent night on the OOT scoreboard.

 

[MJF]

Flyers lose to the Preds. 4-2 on a late goal by Phil Tomasino. Very entertaining game to watch when you don’t have a horse in the race.

Flyers go to Detroit tomorrow night. Should be a cranky flight for them.

Great, should be an automatic loss for them right?

All the flash and dash teams with terrible goaltending are looking up in the standings…

 

[Throttle]

Wilson knows about 85% of the teams don’t have a guy to counter him, so he can do this all day long like he does.

In 3-5 years, it’s gonna be more like flag football vs tackle football since all the new kids play a more ‘check and roll off’ style vs a ‘check and hit’ style.

 

[Green]

This was from a game last week, if this is Tavares shaking his head at a bad goal his goalie gave up which it looks like that is brutal, as a captain you can't be showing up your teammates like that

 

[The Real JT]

I don’t gamble on hockey but it’s hard to avoid betting lines when you look at daily game schedules.

Answer this one for me.

Rags are at home facing the Oil (on a b2b) yet the Rags are only favored -145.

What am I missing? I know Edmonton is playing better but their D is awful and while Skinner is also playing better, their goaltending sucks.

I wonder if he just lost his edge like he did against Varly??

That CBJ roster is almost completely devoid of grit. Yuck.

On paper, should be an easy rags win? I’m guessing the bookies are lookin to make people put cash on the rags, then? In that case, throw a few sheckles on Edmonton.

Agreed. When the line doesn’t make sense you’d be foolish to go against the smart money.

Mathieu Oliver and Gudbranson can go, they are one of the few teams with multiple muscle

Gudbranson is one of the better and yet, still an underrated fighter in the NHL. Has already fought and convincingly beat Wilson.
