Out of Town Thread: Part 20

Avs gets Meyers? That's funny....Where in the world does the kid think he fits?

Avs needs to resign MacKinnon after the next season. They will also likely need to replace or sign Kadri. There likely wont be enough money left for Burakovsky and/or Nichushkin. They pretty much have their entire offense minus Rantanen and Landeskog to resign in the next 2 seasons ... they'll need elc. It's a good grab for them.

Still...there was, or so we hear, a lot of interest, with other teams having way more openings than the AVS.

[Lafleurs Guy]

Worst 50 goals scorer since Peter Bondra ???

Rob Brown.

 

[BozoTheClown]

Rob Brown.

Not quite.
Brown scored 49 goals.

Gary Leeman scored 51 goals one season, but only has 199 goals in 14 seasons.

 

[Stive Morgan]

lol I checked the score of the Kings/Avs game and said "holy shit" out loud

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Brown scored 49 goals.

Gary Leeman scored 51 goals one season, but only has 199 goals in 14 seasons.

Hah! You're right. 49 goals in sixty something games. And he still managed 115 points!

It pays to be on a line with Mario Lemieux.

Avs

Avs

They really did tanking right (Mackinon, Landeskog, Rantanen, Makar, and Duchene - who became Byram), finishing bottom of the league many years over a long period of time.

Man, it feels like Canada's hockey domination is going to come to an end at the hands of the Americans really really fast... That's kind of sad.

I guess we dug our own grave with our outdated youth development systems compared to what the US is doing... I hope we wake up.

Doesn't feel like that at all to me.

Maybe it's just recency bias affecting my point of view, but they have sooooo many amazing players coming out of the pipelines recently.

Mind you, I don't follow non Habs hockey much especially compared to most people here, so I may be wrong! (I hope I am).

Every country had to catch up in terms of talent/development and when you throw in the money the Americans invest in their sporting programs, it happens much quicker than most.

They've made great strides, which is good for the game.

Worst 50 goals scorer since Peter Bondra ???

While it was before Bondra - Guy Chouinard? scored 50 with Atlanta flames in 79. Other than that season his career best was 31 twice.

 

[WeThreeKings]

It's Jonathan Cheechoo guys.

Yeah, definitely not a model to consider - haven't won anything and play really boring hockey - no entertainment value at all

 

[LaP]

And still haven't won anything

Like if their window would be about to close rofl man this board ...

 

[Deebs]

Like if their window would be about to close rofl man this board ...

You can tank and get great players all you want but if you don't win anything, it's gotta be a disappointment.

Nobody said anything about their window closing as it's their time right now and for the next few years. Man this board

The habs and yankees are the only teams I see this happen to
You'll watch a Boston vs Calgary game and you'll spot a habs jersey
You can watch red sox vs blue Jay's and see a yankees cap lol
