Around the NHL — Episode XLXVI

[FunkySeeFunkyDoo]

they got elite goaltending tho and a team that buys in to play a defensive brand. I can see them winning the cup.

No chance.

 

[Micklebot]

They were dumb to go with him in Game 2 and they still did.

It's not like Ulmark was bad, but they should still stick with Swayman

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Florida Tampa Bay has been excellent. Florida can thank Bob for the win in game 2. Tampa is still a tough out,

 

[Sun God Nika]

No chance.

I wouldn't say they have the best chance , but clearly way higher than no chance.

 

[DueDiligence]

Tavares is such an overrated POS. His signing was the Leaf's biggest mistake.

 

[Senovision]

Domi with the Jr. B play tripping Swayman as he was going to the bench. The definition of a bush league play!

Really hope someone finds out if his head is solid bone like his dads.


I'm guessing it isn't

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Vegas definitely getting their money's worth out of Hanifin so far.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

I'm finding myself really disliking Doughty this series. I mean, I never liked the guy but he's just such a whiny, try-hard MFer lol. Go Oilers!

 

[Burrowsaurus]

He did the sharks fire their coach during their rebuild. Thought you weren’t allowed to do that or else the players get sad

 

[Tuna99]

Oh man. The best I've seen in my life. Bobrovsky's save reminds me of him.

Hasek might be the best player to ever play - guy was unreal. Without question the best goalie ever

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Great great player.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Great job by Chicago locking up Vlasic at $4.6m x 6yrs

 

[Adele Dazeem]

You can't get mad at Vegas. Jealous? Sure. They're the best in the league.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

That's why it was so heartbreaking when he was injured at the Olympics the year we acquired him. Oh, what could have been.

100%. I still think about it sometimes. I was really upset they wouldn't run it back with him. I understood the why, but when you looked at the legendary greatness potential of Hasek in contrast to the at best, decidedly averageness of Emery, it was worth the risk. They gave up a real chance at the cup in the summer imo and the team had no chance beating Anaheim without Hasek.

Agreed. He was #1 in my world for the greatest goaltender ever. Hard to qualify it against skaters, but he's a top 5 guy for sure imo.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Reinhart is gonna get paid.

Edit: creepy the commentator said that in unison with me typing it at the exact pace. I hate when the simulation shows itself.

Makes me wonder how things are going to go in Utah (and possibly Houston and Atlanta) in the future. SLC doesn't have the entertainment that Vegas has, but they've got some cash and clout now to make waves. Also big draw for outdoor activities. They won't unseat Vegas as the top destination for players, but they will give Vegas some competition.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Florida is just playing smothering hockey... They are at the top of their game right now.
A model for where the Sens should try to get to.

Massive defensive breakdown last game in a tie game (I think). Great save by bob

That's quite the understatement. In terms of entertainment and "action" for young athletes it's fairly low on the list compared to Florida, California, New York, Vegas...

Don't think it'll be easy for them to get the biggest fish, but they have a decent young team. Need better D and G.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Tarasenko looks slow

But that's the thing....Coyotes go from the team on the top of everyone's no trade lists, to a reasonably attractive destination.

Which also mean Canadian teams, and a few other franchises, drop one notch down on the desirability list. Not good for us, at the end of the day.

 

[albator71]

I think we're headed to another VGK/FLA Stanley Cup Final, which I'm fine with

I don't see anyone stopping Vegas in the West and in the East maybe NYR or CAR could be a threat to the Panthers

You just realizing this now?

I feel the second he started pouting for a Norris Trophy that should have disqualified him right there and then.

As I said I've never liked him, but the Kings were irrelevant for so long that there was no reason to even think of ol' grumpy Doughty until now.
