Around the NHL — Episode XLXVI

[Super Cake]

My god the salt from Wings fans are incredible when it comes to what Torts did.

Maybe try not blowing a 4 goal lead to the Sharks in December and losing in overtime. There is your extra point that would have pushed you into the playoffs.

Yeah I’m wondering the same. I get their fan base is annoying with that whole Dylan Larkin injury but as a team, they came super close. I was watching the end of their game and figured they were gonna lose with 7 seconds and then BAM they tied the game with 3 seconds. It was wild and to do that two nights in a row felt almost like destiny (as we did during the hamburglar run).

It’s actually a shame that flyers pulled their goalie and basically handed the capitals the victory. Not sure why they pulled with over 3 mins remaining

Let’s not attract bad juju for our team with all this hatred…

Because they needed a regulation win to keep their playoff hopes alive. A win in overtime would have eliminated them.

Why’s everybody hating on the redwings lmao

When your team is dogshit for 6 years running, with a ton of question marks remaining, all you've got left is to cheer for or against other teams unless you check out entirely.

Now Kucherov gets to 100 apples. Wild offensive year in the NHL.

Wild couple of years, last year was nuts too.

I get that but I’ll clarify my point: I don’t know why they pulled the goalie with almost 4 mins left in the game. Capitals scored the empty netter with like 3 mins left…feels like the capitals would have also had ample opportunities and time to win the game

Because the hard data suggests that it's the best time to do something like that. Idk why but this is now the accepted practice.

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Good start for the Coyotes.

Kinda feels weird watching this game....that could've been us, if there wasn't a juicy parcel of NCC land being handed to a new owner on a silver platter.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Debrincat
Kane
Perron
Larkin

A quitter and short king
A taxi cab drivers worst nightmare
A giant p***y
A soft p***y

Honestly avoiding playoff hockey may have saved Larkins life

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Larkin lost a child and came back to play hockey a week later.

Crap on the Wings all you want, but Larkin is no "p***y".

It is honestly their fans that probably brought this level of vitriol…

Wings are not that much better then us bud, don't let what they did this season fool you.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

It’s not really year 3 for them. Other than Covid garbage they haven’t made the playoffs since we beat them in 2017.

Did we beat them in that run? I’m sure we did not

Let’s not continue the little brother syndrome and just let ourselves enjoy the rivalries we have with teams. We don’t like the RW for obvious reasons, coupled with the fact that they are in the same 4-5 team lump of up and coming teams trying to make the playoffs.

Bad juju comes with being wimps who constantly try and not ride the wave of fan rivalries. That shit hasn’t won us a thing, not a draft pick, not a round of playoffs.

Time to straighten up and deal tit for tat with our rivals and deal with the consequences without fearing bullshit magic. Those days are over.

Seems obvious that you want to give yourself the most time to score without the added pressure of 1 or 2 minutes left in the game. Less forced plays and panic.

The reality is that the other team has just as much of a chance to score into the empty net, but if you’re playing without time pressure, you’re more likely to score.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Wings are not that much better then us bud, don't let what they did this season fool you.

No, they aren't great, but its a way to get interested in the games that actually have consequences to them. I can relate to the idea of bandwagon hopping/cheering for teams to lose as our team spins its wheels.

I’d classify celebrating a last minute red wings loss when they were competing for a playoff spot and lost out on such an extraordinary circumstance while we weren’t in any kind of competition to the end…the true ‘loser mentality’.

 

[Loach]

Coyotes confirmed to Utah. Just like that. Seems when the league wants to get things done they can move fast. Not to give Andlauer the keys though, that takes over 3 months after a year of "vetting". What a joke.

The damage they did to this team taking their sweet ass time with the sale is immeasurable.

I'll take our first round pick back as compensation from the NHL for being so waste over the sale situation.

 

[Tragedy]

Why are we blaming the NHL when it was the Melnyk installed Board that caused all the headaches?

Everything Melnyk touched operated smoothly so it must’ve been the NHLs fault.
