Around the League 17: Cherry, Babcock, Peters, and Montgomery Unemployment Edition

[AeroFishOne]

Unpopular opinion but two of the most boring teams in the entire league. Zero interest in Preds/Stars.

As long as it wasn’t the same 6 teams again I didn’t care. I like the Preds since they are our next closest team. (Washington doesn’t count because I’d rather light my testicles on fire with a blow torch while sitting on a cactus then be a fan of Washington)

Nashville has fallen apart.

Not Me, that's for sure!!

A sellout crowd of 85,630 are attending the 2020 Bridgestone NHL #WinterClassic,
the second-largest crowd in NHL history (2014 Winter Classic: 105,491).

Does Lavy make it after this? Predators fans are ready to move on.

I’d be surprised if he is the coach to start next year.

You obviously have put a lot of thought in this.

I'm not sure he's their coach after the asg break honestly

 

[My Special Purpose]

We have to root for the Devils and Sharks tonight? Ugh.

 

[HisIceness]

Won't get help from either.

This might be the first and only time NBCsn airs a Devils/Islanders game.

 

[HisIceness]

Brendan Gallagher out w/ concussion. That was tough to watch and I hope he gets better soon, dude's a good player.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

In the vein of "it's a great day when you get to play with Chad", McDavid's linemates are Kassian and Neal. Ouch.

@sabremike

Thoughts on the Sabres trades tonight?

They suck?

sorry

 

[HisIceness]

nevermind

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

For some reason I thought the Sabres acquired some roster players. NBCs graphics must have confused me. Nevermind, carry on.

They essentially swapped a depth D for a depth F in a 3-way. Biggest winner is Calgary, who essentially got a draft pick and cap space for a guy slated to leave via UFA anyways.

Good pace to Leafs - Jets. Toronto is a high event team and Winnipeg looks like it will let them play that way tonight.

This is looking like it will be a repeat of the game we played against them last week.

Obviously hoping the Leafs lose enough the rest of the way to miss the playoffs (unlikely since the Atlantic is trash) but this run and gun style is exposing enough more just how bad their defense is. If Andersen doesn’t stand on his head they’ll get slaughtered in the playoffs when things tighten up

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

Wow. Hellybuck is trash lately. These goals are pretty brutal

 

[geehaad]

NYI loses to NJD??

and PIT only gets 1 from SJS. Nice.
