Around the NHL — Episode XLXVI

[Tuna99]

That was a pretty wild game. Lots of scoring and back & forth.

 

[Icelevel]

NYI wins

It’s right there for you Washington.

Florida vs Rangers 2 - 2 tie. 3rd period.

 

[UglyPuckling]

Rangers win in shootout. Zbad with beauty shootout goal.

Rangers win in shootout. Zbad with beauty shootout goal.

Have the fans stopped whining about their team being full of losers?
They’re at the top of the standings. Wonder if that’s acceptable.

 

[Tuna99]

You see Philly stumbling a bit and going into games where they desperately need points against Toronto, Carolina, Boston and they get 5 of 6 points. This is how playoff seasons are made

Ottawa just could never get a win, or get a game to OT and squeeze out a point in games they maybe deserved points in, they couldn’t stop the bleeding. They just couldn’t be desperate enough for long enough to control their own fate

It was good match between two evenly matched teams. No idea why fans would be whining either. Maybe they dipped at some point in the season? Rangers are right in the thick of things with the best in Eastern Conference teams like Florida, Boston, Canes, etc.

Rangers win in shootout. Zbad with beauty shootout goal.

Was such a Forbsergesque goal, beautiful

 

[BoardsofCanada]

Some fantastic match ups tonight:

Wings against the Caps. I am cheering hard for the Caps to knock the Wings out of the playoffs.
Florida and Boston. Two top teams... Eastern Conference final preview
Vegas and Nashville: should be a good battle for the final two wild card spots
Oilers in Winnipeg: Edmonton licking their wounds inflicted by the Leafs and Sens
Yotes hosting the Bluejackets: We need the Yotes to take this one and stay ahead of us in the tankathon.

 

[Icelevel]

Damn that Patrick Kane. Tied it up with 5 to go.
They’re lucky they got him or they’d be screwed.

They got a point but lost in ot. So we got that going for us.

 

[Senscore]

And the Leafs lost too.


f*** em!

 

[Big Muddy]

Wild game between the Rangers and Flyers. Lots of goals in the 3rd period, seesaw back & forth with Rangers winning in OT.

 

[Senscore]

The preds are a really good team

 

[Tuna99]

Shane Doan was the original no-taxes and Sun guy in the NHL, the one guy who refused to play for a good team so he could tan. I always thought players played to win Cups but Doan would not leave that disgustingly bad Phoenix team no matter what was out there. He just stayed out, sucked, and had Gretzky talk about how great it is to play hockey in Arizona is

Shane Doan made business decisions, not hockey decisions. Not a real hockey player IMO

 

[BondraTime]

Doan is one of the most real hockey players there is in the history of the league

 

[maclean]

As amazing as it may sound, I do not hold an opinion on Shane Doan

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

Doan's always got my respect. Man played hockey at a high level for a long time and seemed more interested in helping establish a fledgling franchise than he was in glory-chasing. Class act on and off the ice.

 

[BondraTime]

3 goals, 1 shorthanded, and 14 shots on goal between Arizona's 1st and 2nd round pick last night is wild.

What an absolute haul Arizona had, Guenther, Doan and Moser in the first 2 rounds

And Doan was a great bit of scouting, albeit obviously other factors leading to that

Phoenix actually had some good teams in the early 2010s. They never went anywhere in the playoffs but I remember one year, they were one of the best reg. season teams in the league.

Arz and Dal absolutely crushed it that year.

Doan had 32 playoff games by the time he was Chabot and Brady's age.

I'm so annoyed that we couldn't have lost just one more game in 2021. We could have drafted Guenther or Clarke instead of Boucher.

How do you know we wouldn't have drafted Boucher anyway?
