Out of Town Thread - New Year's Edition!

[red devil]

Terrible night for McJesus. Just a casual 3 assists. This guy is overrated.



They went to the semis last year and were eliminated by a power house. I think they have a slightly better team this year.

Agreed about them having a better team, as adding Ekholm was huge for them it has solidified their defense. They just need Skinner to give some solid goaltending for a chance in every series. They are dominating Vegas right now outshooting them 34-12 after 2 periods.

Dare I say it’s the Nuge’s team play that has elevated McDavid and Draisaitl this year

Kulak just went bar and in, on a 2 on 1 as he was coming of the box.

Brett "sniper" Kulak

dang, Edmonton with 6 goals, and the third period is still to be played. Draisaitl 47G, Hyman 33G.

really curious to see whether all-offense Edmonton team will translate to playoffs success (probably won't)

They need a miracle.... A perfectly paved path.

They probably have a good shot to get past most teams just with that sheer talent they inherited at the top of the draft. However, when they start matching up against the heavyweights in a best of 7 situation, you begin to realize that the big flaws can no longer be masked.

Case in point, look at last year where they didn't meet a heavyweight until Colorado in the 3rd round. It was no contest.

Former Hab Marco Scandella with a -1 and 2 PIM in 27 seconds of ice time lmao

Didn't even realize he was back. Thought he was out the year due to his hip injury. He had off-season hip surgery like Monahan.

And Nugent's hopkins with 35 goals and 96 points, closing in on 100.

Oilers should have traded for a goalie. I wonder if Columbus would have taken back Cambell in Gavrikov and Korpisalo deal. Kings gave one 1st. Maybe if the Oilers gave two 1sts and a prospect.

Oilers need to sacrifice more of the future to build up their D and goaltending.

Got to love the Kulak

Imagine the shit show it would be in Habs land if Raphael Lavoie was drafted by Montreal.

Aren't the LA Kings doing very well this year?

Glad we did pass on him. Mailloux was shit storm enough for me.

Yup, been stuck on 60 goals for 3 games now, he can't handle it anymore me thinks

 

[Canadienna]

Just listened to the Max Domi interview on 32 thoughts. He's very well spoken. Love his attitude.

Even when he got traded and the fans here were turning on him he always kept a positive attitude.

Who was the last guy to hit 100 points with over half of them on the PP? The only one I can see is Crosby's 120 point season with 61 PP points and Ovi's 108 point year where he had 52 pp points. Those were in the first few post-lockout years where the number of PPs were insane. I think Kovalchuk's 05-06 98 point season is the only comparable to RNH's campaign this year.

Imagine the shit that Lavoie's coaches have put up with over the years from this corrupt control freak!

Hughes looks even SMARTER when compared to the Dach contract and people are calling this signing a great move on the main board. Dach is better (my opinion) and makes a million less

 

[Team_Spirit]

Tfw your team is shit and you have no 1st picks in the 2020s.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

A B.C. kid that Canucks fans were sure was going to sign with them. They signed his defense partner though: Akito Hirose.

Interesting he picked Nashville who generally have a deep blueline, although not as much anymore I guess.

 

[LaP]

I wish we would have a player like Matthews able to score almost 40 goals (he might reach it actually) while having a bad season.

 

[zx81]

100% knew that the Leafs would choke in the last minute.
f***in Leaves

 

[Whitesnake]

FU Leafs. You deserve to be eliminated in the 1st round again.

 

[Prairie Habs]

I wish we would have a player like Matthews able to score almost 40 goals (he might reach it actually) while having a bad season.

isn't that what Suzuki and Caufield were doing before Caufield got injured?
