League News: NHL Talk - (News n' Scores n' Stuff) - 2022-23 season, Vol. 4, Off-season Edition

[Silky mitts]

Had the Caps won in regulation tonight it would have cost something like a high 2nd in draft capital. Columbus maybe cost themselves like the 8-10 pick in draft capital. An additional 1/7 shot at Bedard!

 

[895]

McDavid finishes at 64. Ovechkin still holds the modern goals record at 65.

I have been manifesting this for months. Youre all welcome.

 

[Cush]

Chandler Stephenson clinches the 1 seed for the Knights

 

[ovikovy817]

Seems like a perfect night.

Caps stayed at 8th.
Columbus went from 1st to third and maybe 4th tomorrow.
Pittsburgh lost (always good).
McDavid didn't score the 65th.

Would have liked to see the Pens fall out of contention for the 4OA, but otherwise, yes.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

I might be pulling for Vegas and the Canes. I got some nice futures on them when they were playing bad

 

[Raikkonen]

I like orlov too much too root against his team

also I respect bergeron

 

[trick9]

We should convince Toronto that Kuznetsov was the real Conn Smythe winner during the Cup run and they should trade noted playoff choker Auston Matthews to us for playoff hero Evegny Kuznetsov.

Don't get greedy. I'd take Nylander for him.

Do you respect Marchand also?

It was the greatest goal scoring season ever in the cap era anyway and it’s not particularly close. Save percentage is the lowest it’s been in a decade and the lowest it’s been since the two-line pass was removed. Goals per game are up 15% this season compared to 2007-08. PP% is up 20% compared to 2007-08. Ovechkin had a 13 goal lead on the second leading scorer in the league his season while McDavid finished a three goal lead.

Ovechkin’s 2007-08 season was the most dominant goal scoring season in the modern era. He did it when scoring was harder and he did it a level far superior to his peers. That’s nothing to take away from McDavid who may have just had the most dominant season in the modern era and is a video game create-a-player but if we’re talking about most impressive goal scoring feats in the cap era, it’s Ovi and then a wide gap before we discuss anyone else.

We all know this. People who know anything about hockey know this. Look at the final stats, so many 100 point players you cant even see anyone under 100 unless you expand the chart. This is not 22-23 this is 82-83 baby

 

[kicksavedave]

For so many years I've spent the playoffs rooting for the Caps, and then when that fails rooting against the Flyers and Pens.

What the f*** am I gonna do now??

You can root for the 12 or so recent ex Caps in the playoffs. Pick a team, any team, you'll find one.

 

[Corby78]

I don't think I'm going to root for a team, but root for players I like to play well.

I think that's allowed...

A house cleaning in Pittsburgh.

 

[Brian23]

Wonder if Sullivan hits the market then.

I think I much prefer Carbery, but if Sullivan hits the market this team has shown they love Pittsburgh cast offs.

 

[895]

Pittsburgh holds their management to higher standards than Washington.

 

[Misery74]

I think I much prefer Carbery, but if Sullivan hits the market this team has shown they love Pittsburgh cast offs.

I also think we need someone younger. We need someone who can help develop young talent.

Im not saying Sullivan cannot, but he seems more valuable to a contender.

 

[twabby]

I suspect Sullivan is going to stay put and they are going to try to build a roster around his system rather than doing whatever Hextall and Burke did with their roster construction.

 

[itsjustsurvival]

Don't think Sullivan would be a good fit.

 

[StrikingDistance]

Don't think Ted & Co will use the 'Fire' word with Lavi. He just won't be 're-signed'. Hopefully along with everyone else. Clean slate please.

 

[AlexModvechkin8]

Pittsburgh holds their management to higher standards than Washington.

Washington’s management team has done a better job so that makes sense.

 

[Marshall]

Between this and the Flyers suddenly not doing stupid things, not pleasant news.

 

[Carlzner]

Granlund was such a nice going away gift from Hextall to us!
