HF Habs: Out Of Town Thread: 2023-2024 season

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Listening to 32 thoughts they talked about MacKinnon streak coming to an end, but players on the avs thought he had an assist on Devon Toews' goal, so the avs have asked the league to look into it.

I'm watching the replay there is no way in hell MacKinnon doesn't get an assist.
The broadcast team had it Rantanen from Toews and Mackinnon. The NHL changed it to an own goal?
Even if Toews gets credit for an own goal nobody on the Rangers had control of that puck.

Bizarre to say the least.

The Russian 27 years old goalie with back support is here guys the future is bright orange

Wouldn't a rich kid have less incentive to work hard, knowing that whatever he did or didn't do wouldn't negatively impact his bottom line?

This isn't is an argument worth bringing up. It isn't validated with real world experience. When put in the context of a rich kid working hard to become a hockey player rather than any "normal" career, it makes even less sense.

Hyman has brothers who all played hockey and who all had the same advantages he did. But they aren't playing NHL hockey and they aren't scoring 51 goals this season. So if Berkshire's awful take had merit all the Hyman brothers would be lighting it up in the NHL right now.

No one is suggesting that an advantage means automatic success.

Watching Jamie Benn win the scoring title with like 85 points a while, I would never had guessed I'd live to see a player get 100 assists in a season. McDavid is truly something else.

It's like McDavid gives himself some soft of challenge before the season starts. Last year was scoring over 60 goals and this year is to get 100 assists.

The 100 assists is phenomenal and a huge accomplishment but I think he’s better served shooting a lot more. He’s going to wind up with about 100 less shots than last year. That’s insane.

I'm so pissed Holland didn't do more for the roster. The Oilers are so close to being the cup favorites. Just needed more depth and goaltending. They can still go all the way, but they needed a Julien Brisebois to sell the farm and get all the missing pieces.

They didn't have the cap space to fiddle much with the roster. All in all they did okay. They picked up Corey Perry from the reject pile and he's been great on a line with Kane and McLeod. Adam Henrique provides them with good forward depth also. He can score and kill penalties.

Troy Stetcher wasn't a great add. I wish they had offered us something for Savard.

As for goal, it's Skinner's net and if he's getting yanked in the middle of a playoff game the Oilers are probably losing that game anyway. As it is though, Pickard has been solid and his numbers bear this out.

No team is without flaws. But given the small amount of money the Oilers had to spend I think they did about as well as could be expected.

I have no faith in Skinner whatsoever. However, they killed themselves with the Campbell contract. What a stupid f***ing signing that was. Did no one in Edmonton actually watch that guy play?

They need a better #1, but there isn't a lot out there. No way in hell is Calgary going to send them Markstrom. Nashville doesn't seem interested in trading Saros.

Yeah, kinda like when one of Sid's teammate told him he wasn't all that good of a goalscorer so he went on to win the Richard the next year

Those guys are actually built different.

I hated Sly as a coach but I did have to do a double take when I saw he was assistant coach for the Panthers. Good for him I guess. Their D has been great.

That signing made no sense. And for five years ? I wish they would have gone with another GM than Holland.

Monahan is out shining Elias Lindholm by quite a bit

Proof #589405 that the posters on the main board have 0 hockey knowledge and just write paragraphs because they think the more words they write the smarter they are. Some of those same clowns are in a thread about Suzuki vs Stutzle.

McDavid told them to sign Soupy. Said he was good goalie with Toronto porous defense. Should be good in Edmonton. He wasn't

Note to self: Do not root for McDavid to be GM post retirement.

The reason he grew out his hair and has it spiked up is to raise money for cancer research and had kid with cancer shave his head

They also hired McDavid's coach when he was in junior hockey and he is the only one that has made them play some sustainable winning hockey.

You win some, you lose some.

Does it make me a terrible privilege lover if I want Hyman to finish the season with more goals than Matthews?

Yeah I caught that part later, I turned my TV on and saw the hair without context lol

Brutal for Fantilli, he was starting to get going before his injury. Carlsson also sustained multiple injuries this year (MCL, concussion, right knee).
