Around the League Part 8: Welcome to the league Vegas, and Duchene discussion

[MinJaBen]

So Devils, Vegas, Avs are all playing decent, what is this season?

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Supposedly Duchene and Yakupov have been playing together and playing really well? Both have 5pts in 4 games. It would be quite the plot twist if Duchene never gets traded, has a great season, and helps Yakupov have a breakout season

Would also be funny if Yakupov was having a great year alongside Duchene only to have his production drop off a cliff when Duchene is finally traded.

Duchene puts up a huge year next to Yak and gets traded for Hanifin. Then Duchene's number fall off a cliff. Turns out Yakupov was the Superstar all along. *What a twist*

 

[Breakdowns]

Devils are first in metro

We and only four more teams have played only 2 games and after tonight, we will be the only one

On the topic of jersey nostalgia I miss the ducks being mighty.

People should never take themselves too seriously.

I feel the same way about the Mighty Bosstones.

Purple and green works great together, Orange and gold really do not. At least that's the impression that I get

I gotta say though that it looks pretty good as far as headwear goes though. One of the guys that is in the cube across from me is a Ducks fan and wears his hat quite a bit, and there's a number of times I'm thinking "That's a hell of a hat that you're wearing"

 

[tarheelhockey]

and there's a number of times I'm thinking "That's a hell of a hat that you're wearing"

Have you ever thought of just walking up and saying that to him?

 

[Roboturner913]

There's a player with the last name "wood" on the Devils. The announcer said "A hit on Wood". It was a perfect chance to say "Wood's been hit! Wood's been hit!"

An underrated aspect of that movie that I've never seen anybody mention is that Iceman is all cool and collected and **** the whole movie but the second his wingman goes down he turns into a scared whiny b****. Cruise's line should've been "Maverick is supersonic, I'll be there in 30 seconds....or maybe 40. I could probably get there faster if maybe you felt like apologizing for all that bull**** drama before when you talked **** about me for being unsafe."

 

[Lempo]

Of this particular subtext I have not been aware of, no.

I'm kind of worried that Iceman is, like Johnny Lawrence, just competently doing his expected stuff and being good at it in the traditional way, and is unjustly denied the rewards because there's some unhinged reckless square-peg-to-round-hole type of fellow who somehow manages to draw all the other people on his personal orbit, and whose questionable antics get dubbed as "inspirational".

Being safe and conventional is fine until the **** hits the fan, but do you think Mig 28 pilots give a **** about a hard deck? Ooooooh, you broke the rules of engagement! Well, so ****ing what. Yee-hah, Jester's dead. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it Ice........man (chomp)

 

[Lempo]

Is 'chomp' the sound the goddamn mic does when it is being dropped?

[Negan4Coach]

Well, since we're living in "the current year", I think we all now are aware that Iceman was just a paragon of White Priviledge and Toxic Masculinity, lets face it.

 

[CandyCanes]

I think we might of let a good one slip away. Martin Frk has got quite the shot, and so far is looking like it's translating in the NHL.

I am not sure, playing for us he was nothing special, yes, his shot is good, but everything else is below average IMO

Playing for Wings he is put in the scoring position all the time - first PP, 1/2 line, so there is no surprise that he is getting points

Iceman, Johnny Lawrence and Ivan Drago all are pro-system beneficiaries of the white patriarchal system, all hidden in plain sight. Especially Iceman.

well yeah, but if he is being put in those positions and playing well and producing... then what is the issue?

 

[geehaad]

There's nothing wrong with letting go of a guy who goes on to do good things for another team. To me, it appeared his foot speed made him a bad fit in Peters' system...nothing wrong with that. Also, he's played 4 games so far...small sample size, right?

 

[the halleJOKEL]

pfft small sample size

and next thing you'll say is that ovechkin's goal scoring pace isn't sustainable and he sucks eggs

Who would you cut from our current squad and replace him with? Good shot for sure, but he can't skate with most of our guys.

 

[sheriff bart]

It isn't like the Canes are the only one that didn't see a future for Frk. He was a waiver wire pickup, and went back through.

Besides, they didn't know how to handle a name without a vowel in it.

Yeah, I think like this, he was not the right fit for us
