Carolina failed to improve their centers and didn't come out of the East, shocking.

Thanks!

Well can’t say I’m not surprised about Carolina. They desperately need an elite talent on their team and I’m not sure how they go about acquiring one. Missing out on Tkachuk really may be a death knell for their contention window it seems.

I think Aho is pretty close to being elite, but he's just one guy. I was listening to Overdrive (TSN Toronto radio) podcast at work, and they talked about the best PPG players all time in playoffs. Draisaitl, McDavid, MacKinnon, Rantanen all in top-10 ALL TIME. Also Kucherov and Point in the top 20. And they really noted that the top-20 is all duos (well, trio in our case because Makar was in the top-20 as well). Elite players need other elite players to truly put up elite numbers.

Aho has had to carry that team a lot, and he's not McDavid or MacKinnon level. Svech is a nice player, but not good enough. Guentzel, not elite either.

Soo... Marner to Carolina?

Yep. Their politeness disgusts me.

Realistically they need another C to take over the 2C spot. But I think Tkachuk would’ve been good enough to offset that issue. Should be an interesting summer for Carolina with likely a new coach and some roster turnover I’d guess.

You know who would have been good? Trocheck.

Wait a second...

I'm thinking 2 series end tonight.

I wanna be wrong about 1 of them however...........

No.... smug. Especially about hockey.

(Love it when Sweden beats them at the Worlds....) LOL

You really wanna see Boston make it to game 7 huh?

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Man I miss that man. Big Z is the shit......... and he's only 23.

Let's just say he and Bednar had "irreconcilable differences".

I'll take Zads coming late to a meeting or two over how Nuke has managed to ef this team.........

Anyone remember the lamentation of spending a 1st on Keumper instead of signing Freddie Anderson as a UFA?

Why do you guys hate Canadian teams?

Might be the only one here who is Canadian and wants the Canadian teams to fail (Flames with Kadri and the Habs I don’t hate). Bring about the maximum chaos possible. I’ve listened to way too many people arrogantly bleat on pissed off about a team in Florida/California winning and how awful that is because it’s ’not even cold there’. The little brother syndrome up here is something else at times and I find it exhausting

He owns Kane.


They are too nice eh?

We aren’t nice. Canadians tend to be polite but it’s not the same thing. On a general scale, Americans are nicer and friendlier than Canadians but not as polite. Finns whole mind your own business and don’t bother me vibe is more my speed than either

 

[MacKaRant]

Did Drai skate once back to defensive zone?

Nope.

And the reason why Nurse's defensive impact rating is so low is because he DID skate back into the defensive zone

Little kids controlling social media these days?

Pretty sure Twitter is just a troll battle royale at this point. At least Dallas’ jumbotron trolling was usually funny but Canes are sure trying to outdo that with more cringe than funny

Man that Kotkaniemi contract blew up in their face. I thought it would eventually be good, because he should be at least a decent bottom end 2C. And he had not an awful last year, and started this season on fire. Then absolutely nothing...

All timer of a typo. Sounds like some sort of fundamentalist cult. Everyone I’ve ever met from the maritimes is fantastic
