Out of Town Thread - New Year’s 2025 Edition

[Don D]

I'm going to be honest: for a myriad of reasons both at the start, and now at the end, of the season with their winning streak, the Blue Jackets deserve to be in the playoffs and we do not. I have made peace with that outcome.

After that brutal collision with the boards last game, Suzuki is likely injured and I'd like to see him get the time that he needs to recover, rather than forcing himself to play through it.

Imagine if Kotkaniemi scored in the team's final game of the season vs Carolina?

Frank Nazar...what a f***ing release....go see that OT winner...

Could of been a Hab!

 

[Whitesnake]

Habs picked Noah Juulsen in the first round that year. Sebastian Aho was picked in the second round by Carolina. Hindsight is......

Yeah, that's exactly the same thing. Juulsen was always pegged as a 1st rounder. Aho not so much. Timmins went and thought that a guy playing in Sweden JR league, where not a lot ever comes from there when they play JR at their draft year, instead of a Q kid that had his deficiencies...but see...a 6'4'' C....had to be interesting..

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Minnesota scores with 20 seconds left & their net empty 2-2!

 

[Whitesnake]

Wild...you lucky bs...

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Minnesota clinches!

 

[the valiant effort]

I was rooting for the Flames to do a CBJ-style comeback

 

[red devil]

Minnesota clinches!

Blues are up 5-1 with less than 7 min to go, Calgary is going to miss the playoffs

 

[Whitesnake]

Wow...what an insane save by Dostal just prior to the goal......

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Minnesota putting Fleury in for OT. His last few minutes in NHL.

 

[BoneHutson]

16th and 17th OA picks here we come

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Two more series clinched:

Minnesota @ Vegas
St. Louis @ Winnipeg

Only East WC2 spot left.

Calgary is out.

 

[red devil]

This better be precautionary or the Blues are going to be in major trouble against the Jets

 

[MarkovsKnee]

This better be precautionary or the Blues are going to be in major trouble against the Jets

Probably precautionary.

 

[Whitesnake]

Great story....even in Minny.

 

[Kimota]

Minnesota always reminded me of us. Now it remains to us doing the same.

 

[The Great Weal]

I'm going to guess a St.Louis vs Tampa finals

 

[Guy Larose]

I'm going to guess a St.Louis vs Tampa finals

Impossible because it's going to be a Habs vs Dallas final.

 

[nhlfan9191]

We’re in trouble. Columbus is on a heater and we’re barely breathing.

 

[Whitesnake]

is there a faster goalie than Wolf?

 

[Whitesnake]

Minnesota always reminded me of us. Now it remains to us doing the same.

If you don't mind....please let's not wait till there is 20 seconds left...But yeah, Wild at the end looks exactly the same. Lack of implication. Missed chances. Not a lot of imagination...but they made it. Let's hope we do the same.

 

[Shred]

His contract 8 mil/yr goes for 2 more years. Why retire?

He hates money I think

 

[The Great Weal]

Man that's some tough luck. This is the kind of way I'd be okay with missing the playoffs.

ONLY FANS GRITTY

 

[WeThreeKings]

Imagine if Kotkaniemi scored in the team's final game of the season vs Carolina?

Could of been a Hab!

No, he couldn't have.

If Dach wasn't available, they don't acquire the 13th pick. It's a 3 way trade, essentially.

He could have been a Hab in the same vein that a team retaining salary on a guy, could have had that player.
