Around the NHL 11 - 2023/24

I guess that they needed to go back to Skinner but if they get eliminated the Oilers will have more questions about their tending going into next year.

Well at least Skinner has had a couple of good playoff performances this season unlike the Jets narcisstic #1 who just can't maintain any regular season consistency come playoff time!

….and professional excuses maker while taking no accountability.

Jerts and Chevy might of messed up again.

Utah will get a name and logo in 2025-26.

Utah's NHL team to debut name, logo, colours in 2025-26 | TSN

Ownership of the NHL’s team in Utah has given fans 20 choices to vote on for the franchise’s new name, according to a survey sent out Wednesday by Smith Entertainment Group. The inaugural season will feature jerseys with the name of the state on them, with a name, logo and colors to debut for...

That seems dumb to not have a name for a year

Pleasantly surprising to see Lowry up at 7th although it's a weird mix of offence guys who are decent at defence and purely defence guys like him

Apparently with the change over to Fanatics for 24/25 season there just isn't enough time even if they decide on a name right away and get their branding done fast. I think it's good to take some time and get it right. Seattle went with the meme name and a few years in it already looks like a dated and a poor choice. No need to rush it.

I agree. Listening to Ryan Smith he seems like a really sharp and thoughtful guy. He will make mistakes but I don’t think they need to rush on this. Maybe the process won’t work but the approach is novel.

This was by far the easiest choice of all the trophies that are voted on, and two guys still managed to leave Barkov off their ballots entirely. I wonder what ridiculous shit they've come up with for the actually difficult votes.

Good to see Lowry getting credit, but it's also a good indicator of the Selke being too much about reputation. If you had Lowry at 2, where are the votes for Nino?

“The winner is selected by a poll of the Professional Hockey Writers' Association following the regular season.”

IF this is who decides I can’t take it seriously. Honestly they give out one award every year and it’s called the Stanley Cup and the rest of this shit is just PR stunts and noise in my opinion. Its like the All stars, once again who cares?

I realize not everyone thinks like me on this.

It wasn't announced the Thrashers were sold until May 31...they have plenty of time.
Makes the league look even more bush.

I am now conflicted.

I have been cheering for Paul Maurice and the Panthers to come out of the East. I would like to see the coach with the most losses in the history of the NHL win a Cup so that his legacy is of winning instead of always losing.

There is a problem. Blake Wheeler is back. Now I am conflicted. I would love to see Wheels get past the Panthers and have a shot at the Cup. If anyone has earned it with hard work ethic it is Blake.

Gotta think about this one.

I guess you could look at it as a win-win... regardless of which team gets through, there's a chance that one of them gets a cup

I would say that this is more likely Wheeler's last kick at it, whereas the Panthers seem to have a bit of a window here

Tonight's game 7 will be the first game I watch since the Jets were eliminated.

You've been missing out.

You've been missing out.

Just a ton of 6:30 am shifts at work. Off tomorrow though.

Yeah but we already had a name.

Hopefully we’re watching a Stanley Cup winner tonight!

Double minor pp for the Canucks no shots on net, only 2 for the period

 

[Orrrules]

Nucks need to fire their pp coach

 

[PaulPooley]

Double minor pp for the Canucks no shots on net, only 2 for the period

That is a garbage powerplay the Canucks have there. Wow.
Brad Lauer was blushing.

 

[WolfHouse]

That was like the Jets scheme.... drop pass at your own blue line then hope the D gets a stretch pass... quick pass to gain the zone and then play from the perimeter

Lots of guys standing around

 

[bustamente]

Oilers get the best chance on that double pp with the break away by Brown.

 

[Channelcat]

Hopefully we’re watching a Stanley Cup winner tonight!

I can't imagine Dallas not winning the cup at this point.

 

[bustamente]

Oilers take the lead

 

[cbcwpg]

And people think the Jets don’t show up in elimination games….what the hell is Vancouver doing? Game 7 and you have 4 shots half way thru? Freaking embarrassing.
