GDT: Other Games Around the League 2016-17

[SJSharksfan39]

I have a hunch that Florida is going deep in the playoffs.

Isn't Florida like 4 points back of a wild card? They have to make the playoffs first.

They've had a really interesting year. Fire their coach, leave him at the curb in Carolina, and they are still in the playoff hunt.

Thanks Jarg.

Rielly is so bad defensively, yeesh.

Rielly is so bad defensively, yeesh.

But, top pairing defenseman.

(I think I've seen a thread like that on the side of HF where it says the latest threads.)

Antoine Roussel has a hat trick.

Zaitsev is also pretty overrated. It's incredible that the Leafs' D is so bad, but those two never ever ever get the blame. It's always Polak and Hunwick, even though they play only like a quarter of the game, or their favorite whipping boy Gardiner (when they aren't trying to use advanced stats to show he's a top-10 defenseman in the league).

Never Rielly or Zaitsev though.

I really like Connor Carrick. He reminds me a lot of Schlemko (and Brodzinski when he was in college).

He makes some mistakes, but he looks so smooth by the eye test and the stats test.

As of today, they are in. And by the end of the year, I think they win that division.

Since they got Barkov and Huberdeau healthy, they've won 5 of 6 averaging 4 goals a game and just swept a 4-game road trip to Nash/SJ/ANA/LA

Yeah, they are playing surprisingly well. Nice to get your stars back, something they didn't have at the beginning of the season.

I like Carrick a lot too.

I do think they will be a team to watch down the stretch. I don't think they'll win the division, but with Montreal in a free fall, you never know. I think the Bruins will end up winning the division.

 

[Negatively Positive]

After how ever long, I think the East is finally stronger than the West. Now if only the East in the NBA can ever rise up so Lebron doesn't get a free pass to the finals every year.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Apparently, there is a free preview of NHL Center Ice (stick tap to someone on the mod board).

 

[rangerssharks414]

Toews has three goals and two assists tonight. See, he's a top 100 player ever.

More like Top 10.

Wayne who?

Didn't remove enough zeroes

 

[SJSharksfan39]

The Ducks and Oilers both lost in the last two nights. That makes the bye week get off to a nice start.

 

[Timo Time]

Laine is too ****ing good.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

I had Laine at #1 before the draft. Ain't changing my mind.

(of course, I had PLD at 2 ahead of Matthews....so.....that's not looking great)

Laine is doubtlessly better at goal scoring but I really struggle to understand what else he's better at. Matthews is on another level.

Agreed, the top two went in the right order.

Agreed, the top two went in the right order.

And if we're only talking about what's happened so far, Matt Tkachuk should have gone third overall. He's an incredible player.

As good as Columbus has played this year, if they had him they'd be even better.

Especially against the Sharks...

The Tkachuk in my username is in reference to his dad, who was my favorite player growing up. Needless to say I've got a soft spot for the kid.
