2017-18 Around the League Thread - Part II

[Breakers]

8 points in 9 games.

The thing I love about this goal that it doesn't show in this gif is how sergahev changes his position and cuts back to the skater to receive the pass so he doesn't have to pass through bodies.

Such a smart offensive d-man.

 

[valkynax]

I'm guessing leaving Habs got something to do with that too.

Man, just...look at all these amazing players we could've drafted.

f***ing hell...

 

[timw33]

Clayton Keller is very good.

 

[PG Canuck]

Arizona is never winning a game again.

 

[Carl Carlson]

****ing hell...

Drafting in the top 5 or 6 is exciting but man when you miss on your pick its rough watching what could have been.

hell those great players we missed, we didn't even NEED to draft top 5/6 to get them.

blowing those picks alone should be firable offense, but nope, not for Benning.

 

[David Bruce Banner]

Is this where, once again, we list all the guys we could have drafted and then post, "sigh" or a frowny face emoji?

 

[Knight53]

Gaudreau with an amazing rush and Monahan completely botches it by tripping over himself... wild go the other way and score on the empty net.

Flames fans ripping Bennett, been garbage this year.

If they miss the playoffs, have to think Treliving is fired after that god awful Hamonic trade.

 

[Knight53]

Arizona .....0-7-1

After making win-now moves with trading the 7th overall pick for Stepan and the Hjalmarsson trade.

Tire Fire organization right now.

 

[Knight53]

Kucherov


Dude is almost at 2 PPG pace.

The scary thing for the other eastern teams is that he is still only 24. That Stamkos-Kucherov duo is just terrorizing.

Chayka's hand was definitely forced imo.

Arizonians weren't going to sit around for a long rebuild after Doan retired.

 

[yvrtojfk]

Jagr is such a legend.

 

[EpochLink]

Remember the legend of 18 year old Sam Bennett in the 2015 playoffs?

 

[MS]

Bennett is another one of those guys who seemed to completely lose his shiftiness and talent when he bulked up.

Guy looked great when he couldn't do a chin-up at 170 lbs. and is total garbage at a built 200 lbs.

 

[PG Canuck]

Vegas is winning the Cup

 

[thepuckmonster]

I don’t care how petty it is but I derive so much joy from watching Toronto, Edmonton and Calgary lose. It’s like the small joy I get as a Canucks fan in this massive tomfoolery we have going on.

It’s early enough that they won’t f*** up our draft chances but goddamn it’s good.

 

[PG Canuck]

Calgary is irrelevant. I forget they exist half the time and I don't even care to follow or whatch their games. I don't find them exciting at all.

Oilers, when on their game are amazing to watch. I also watch them for fantasy hockey purposes but I've watched them just because of how exciting they can be. I've grown to not really hate them, most because of how irrelevant we have become it doesn't matter how good they are.

Leafs are going to be a good team and like the Oilers, are exciting as hell the watch. Obviously the media adores them but it's not any different to what we have seen for 1938382 years.

 

[PM]

Karlsson with 6 points in 3 games since returning from surgery. The king is back.

I don’t hate the oilers or leafs as a team, I really just can’t tolerate the fan bases or media coverage. The shallow depths of my soul enjoy the future dynasty struggling out of the gate and I’m going to revel in it for the short time it’s gonna last

I think I'm just use to it. Everyone still complains about it, but this isn't anything new. The Leafs were utter trash and still got the headlines - at least they are f***ing good now that they are making headlines.

Robbed of his rightful Norris last year, stupid Canadian media

 

[tantalum]

Went to the Knights-Blues game tonight. Vegas stole one. Tarasenko was awful. Schwartz not much better. Vegas in a world of hurt now with Dansk a the starter. Subban was in serious pain when he left the game.

Saw a headline about that, what happened? Did a teammate crash into Subban or something?

He just kicked his leg out trying to make a save, and likely pulled something. Knew right away he wasn't feeling right.

 

[Addison Rae]

He struck gold with Boeser but literally missed a couple tap ins in 3 years. They were right ****ing there, the pundits knew it, the fans knew it, everyone ****ing knew it but Dim Jim.

I knew it too, what are you talking about
