OOT Scoreboard 2024-25 season

Whatever, he's elite. So damn good.

Wish we had him.

 

[Bleedred]

The Canucks are one of the more overrated teams coming into this season. Other than the Pacific sucks, I’m not sure why they’re considered a playoff lock.

 

[Bleedred]

The Kings are a really, really, really, really rough watch.

Are they really so mediocre that they have to play like this win? Obviously really good teams are gonna shut that shit right down, but we struggled mightily against them in the two games last year.

Boston again not looking like a really good team this year. Last year it translated to A LOT of wins, but they were low key mediocre last year. They're looking low key mediocre again this year and if they don't win as much as last year it won't be so low key.

Having 25-30 korpisalo starts instead of Ullmark ones is uh, sure not gonna help.

Those hard working Utah Coyotes already up 1-0 vs the Rags.

Utah is f***ing fun man

Looked like he was gonna pull a Roy for a second.

Now he’s trying to carry the puck up ice on the breakout too?

Really trying to earn that big money extension, I see.

Spencer Knight is probably going to give @Bleedred an aneurysm when he does his goals review for the Cats-Sabres game.

Dropped Knight in fantasy for Lankinen last night and I picked up Levi in a different league, I'm glad that Buffalo result happened tonight or else I would've been very angry lmao

We caught a ton of shit for running back Vitek after a year he was really good in. No one bats an eye when Colorado runs back Georgiev and his .897. Not going well so far with that experiment. Kahkonen's got a huge opportunity there now and I think he could run with it.

Well maybe if they hadn’t played Vitek at running back it would have been better. I always saw him as more of an in thr box safety.

Looks like Annunen isn’t much better tonight. 2 GA on 5 shots. Colorado had tied it at 3, but now the Jackets are up 5-3.

Must be so frustrating to have both goalies let you down like that.

That never happened last year for NJ. I can’t at all envision that.

I said that the other night too when Georgiev got blown up lol but yep you aren't wrong, I hope Kakkonen does well there, I wish we kept him over Allen but it isn't the biggest thing in the world

Goals 2 and 3 were bad. Goal 4 he looked like he made no attempt to recover.

I think he's still waiver exempt, so he probably won't be afforded too many more games like that before he's sent to Charlotte (or wherever their AHL affiliate is these days) and Driedger gets called up.

I also wish we kept Kahkonen. It could end up being a big thing.

There were a few Avs fans spewing a bunch of crap about how the Rangers traded the wrong goalie after that year Georgiev had there in 22-23 lol.

He's been a mediocre to bad goalie for much of his career. His one particularly good season was 22-23 in Colorado. Everything else has been meh to horrible. I know it's Igor, but the numbers between the two of them behind the same team were staggering.

I honestly don't think you can even say Georgiev is better than Vanecek. His best season was better than Vitek's best season and Vitek's worst was probably even worse than his, but he's had more bad seasons than Vitek has to this point.

Eh, I think they'll be fine in the Allen starts. I just wish we were a bit younger at goaltender in general but I think they'll have a team that'll attract goalies regardless of how they are, similar to what Markstrom did.

I’m talking more in the long term having Kahkonen could’ve been big. Sure maybe we’ll be able to keep attracting them but if it’s through trades you’ve gotta pay assets and if it’s through UFA you’re likely overpaying on the contract. Idk if Kahkonen’s the guy long term but there’s potential upside there I think was worth checking out over Allen. Allen’s not some rock steady goalie that you take because you don’t want the potential volatility of a Kahkonen if things don’t work out. Allen could have that volatility himself this year.

Yeah, that's fair, I think they just wanted the extra year of Allen already + they thought Kakkonen wanted more but there was virtually no market for him when 7/1 came. It's funny that he ended up in one of the best spots in WPG for a goalie and then waived to a team like Colorado that seems to be a bit overrated coming into the year

 

[NJDevs26]

It's a funny time to be pining for someone who's already been waived once and is still third-string, you guys really want to make Kahkonen happen based off five games. There was no way they were going to guarantee him a spot this year because they wanted more proven options and had younger options for the AHL they ultimately want to be at least part of the solution long-term.

It's not pining, I said I don't care lol. If I had a choice between the two, it'd be Kakkonen but it's crying over spilled milk with the rest of the roster being so good.

Winning a Cup with Darcy Kuemper will make you think you can win with any goalie.

Those hard working Utah Coyotes already up 1-0 vs the Rags.

I'm saying it right now, before the game on Monday: I really like this team and if I could get anyone in the league on the Devils (yeah yeah, McDavid, McKinnon, etc.), I would pick Keller. Love his game and imagine he'll become elite some time soon.
