League News: 2015-16 Around the League VI (NHL News n' Scores n' Stuff)

[strungout]

I have a feeling the Bruins will be the team missing the playoffs from the Atlantic.

I'd love to see the Pens get the shaft somehow. Both the Islanders and Flyers leap frog them and Detroit somehow manages to win a few to knock Boston out. That would be glorious.

And the Pens last game is against... wait for it.. Caps. If excluding Pittsburgh from the playoffs is not a motivator for the Caps then nothing is

I find the new crew of plucky, barely shaving Maple Leafs to be a pretty entertaining bunch. The organization seem to be doing a decent job of finding out what they have, letting young guys gain experience, and upping their overall competitiveness - all the while without winning so much as to move them out of a good lottery spot.

If they were a stock, I'd say that they've stopped getting worse, and while they may not start turn up in near or even medium term, it may be time to think about starting a long position because the bottom appears to be in.

Their draft situation for 2016 and 2017 is pretty strong.

I just found this uncanny (If someone can put these images side by side?)

Edit: images appear to be too big for side by side unless you crop them, which I'm too lazy to do. Still, it works.

I thought the Caps got Toronto's 5th rounder in the Laich deal?

We got Anaheim's.

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

We got Anaheim's.

Oh, that's right!

Carry on.

 

[RandyHolt]

uncanny indeed

 

[strungout]

Olli Matta is week to week with a lower body injury. Dude is made of straight balsa wood.

isles give up 7 goals to tampa

that team sucks. and i dig it.

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Blues leading the Canucks 4-0 midway through the third period.
Canucks could be shut out for the 4th time in 5 games, IIRC.

Brouwer has 2 assists.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Pens missing the playoffs would be glorious, especially after all the gloating of their fanboys on the main board. It's not going to happen though. The Wings are my pick to miss the playoffs.

The great Thomas Greiss is coming back to Earth it seems.

 

[hockeykicker]

that stinks

 

[Calicaps]

that stinks

Ouch!

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

That's a tough blow. I'm glad the Caps are one of the healthiest playoff teams. My only concern is Ovi's health, we need him to be at his best.

That looked terrible ouch.

It's an Ex-Cap-apolloza. Wardo knocks down the goalie, puck comes to Eakin, who brain-farts it to Ward who gets an abandoned net shortie. And now the Sharks score agsin

giroux hurt badly

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

That gif makes it look like Hanzal barely touches Giroux but catches him at the exact wrong (right?) time. Is that accurate? Either way, hopefully Giroux isn't hurt too badly... head injuries are scary.
