League News: NHL Talk - (News n' Scores n' Stuff) | 2024-25 Summer Edition

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
Boston loses to the Sharks. Seems like a good bet their second rounder ends up being a top 40 pick. While I've mostly panned this draft perhaps that allows them to move up into the late teens/early twenties if someone slips (a Ravensbergen, Nesbitt or Ryabkin perhaps). I remained mostly underwhelmed by this class but perhaps that changes after the U18s.

A lot of East teams want nothing to do with the Playoffs

If these bubble teams simply played .500 the last 10:
NYR 3-5-2 (add 2 pts.) = 76
CBJ 2-7-1 (add 5) = 76
DET 2-8-0 (add 6) = 76
BOS 2-7-1 (add 5) = 74
PHI 1-8-1 (add 7) = 72

instead MTL is curr WC2 at 75 pts.

LOL.

It's not about OTT/MTL and NYI that actually have performed well/above .500 the L10...

It's about the 5 teams I listed that were in v good position to take one of the 2 WC slots and they couldn't summon the moxie, the intestinal fortitude, the gumption to play even .500 to give themselves a great chance at a Playoff spot

Shitting your pants down the stretch is not a good look

Damn, Pens sticking their head back in since March 2. But i think Boston and Pens are both done as they are at 71 games. But then again, nobody really wants to grab it. Ottawa looks solid though. Both in play and position.

Tried Blue Jackets/Islanders for 5 minutes, since one of em could be a 1st round opponent. Unwatchable. 10 guys skate around trying as hard as they can not to f*** up.

I watched to the end. Always pull against NY just on principle but man that was a hard watch. Caught the shootout loss for NJ (loved that too). Will watch the 3rd of Detroit/Utah to see if the Wings can crap the bed.

Same thing the other night for me, it was Jackets vs Pens. It was so god awful to watch, I didn't realize how good the Caps really are. The bad part is, when we play some of the bottom dwellers they come alive and look like Cup contenders :laugh:
