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

They really will need too. Phi gets CLB tomorrow. Wash gets Ottawa next on Sunday. Det gets Buffalo. Have to think so pts there for the other guys.

The Isles need to control their own destiny. OTT and BUF are annual post-elimination Cup champs. PHI looks spent.

Debrincat has one goal in 16 games…another ‘winner’ stepping up when should be.

??

Buffalo helping a lot.

What happened to DeBrincat? Fell off a cliff. Isles dodged a bullet?

When I wrote that:
Philly had just tied it 1-1
Detroit had just taken a 3-2 lead
Caps were winning 2-0

So happy how that turned around.

Crosby, 40Gs, impressive.

Tampa not helping the cause

For sure. Looks like 92 pts is prob enough right now. PIT looks like they are going to collect points coming home. Phi and Det look like they have stalled out. But it’s only 5 or 6 games so a bit of chance involved now. Phi has a pretty decent schedule coming home.

Game 82 is going to be a play-in game.

Ooof ref took a big blindside hit in the TB game. Scary shit. Hope he’s alright

 

[Crashsunday]

TB is in so don’t think Isles are going to get any help from them moving forward.

 

[islesmb]

Tie game!

 

[Crashsunday]

I stand corrected. Go TB!!

 

[Big L]

Tie game!

That tying goal - kuch passed to Hedman, then hedman made a blind pass to stamkos while looking back at kuch. Hate to say it, but that was sweet.

 

[MJF]

That was a Dubas move that paid off.

 

[Crashsunday]

Oh well. Win their own games and they are in.

Time for Gary Bettman to give up on Phoenix.

It’s the land of no one has a NHL arena for them anyway.

In a related story, Kate Murray has retired, moved to Phoenix and is the mayor elect for 2025. Film at 11.

Time for league contraction. Get rid of coyotes and Columbus. Hold a contraction draft.

Islander fans know the struggle. I wish they would build it. I would definitely fly out for a game.

A fun trip is SJ > LAK > ANA > AZ > LV.

 

[The Lighthouse]

Whether copium or not, the word from AZ fans is the proposed development won't be located within Scottsdale at all, so some posturing from Scottsdale mayor here and to the extent there's a dispute about resources, the proposal would pull the resources from Phoenix.

 

[PWJunior]

Jack Hughes done for the season, what a f***ing smurf. He could be elite, but he's brittle AF.

The flyers have given the big middle finger back at Torts and flat out given up on him. They are so done.

Remarkable that he can just hang himself like that after he had them playing as well as they were. Oh well!

Yeah, allegedly Berube is going to take the HC job with Torts moving on. I wonder if he tried to get a final whip in on the last turn to the finish, but it backfired and the team just wants the season to end.
