2017-18 Around the League Thread - Part II

Psshhh please, Benning WISHES he's Greedo.


He's more like Jar Jar Binks without the laughs.

No, we wish he were Greedo. We could just watch him get quickly smoked, then proceed on with the real entertainment.

I WISH I COULD SHOOT FIRST!

Sbisa on pace for 41 points

In the event that Sbisa actually manages that, how are we as Canucks fans to interpret it?

Is he just a product of playing on an expansion team like Norm Maciver?
Did he finally take that step that he never took with Vancouver?
Was Willie just a really bad coach who didn't utilize him properly?
His numbers are just disguising the fact that he's still really bad?
Fluke season?

Fluke season?
Unsustainable fluke?

16 games.

4 games ago Brock Boeser was on pace to score 107 pts. Now he’s on pace for 82. He’ll probably finish around 60.

Don’t bother projecting seasons on 16 games.

Teeheehee is that a not-so-subtle way to say you're Han Solo~?

I can neither confirm nor deny and allegations.

Having a major brain fart here..... is a 5 minute fighting major an automatic game misconduct?

What a game going on in Chicago. The Hawks took a 4-1 lead in the first. Late in the second it was 6-4 Devils, but the Hawks put up #5 with 2 seconds left. The 3rd could keep this barn burning to the ground. When is the last time we saw the Devils with the Offense this year's team has?

Weird how it can be exciting (and rewarding on the scoresheet and in the standings) to watch a team where young, promising players are given a real opportunity to show what they can do.

"Those young Devils just don't know any better!"

"Miles Wood" is a great hockey name.

Stamkos' line strikes again.

Almost 30 SOG after 2 periods, jeeeeepers...

Drew Remenda is trash, why is this guy doing a national broadcast???

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

in his hall of fame speech last night, did paul kariya really say "i want to thank my brothers, steve, martin, and travis green"?

 

[Zombotron]

That is what he must weigh when the question inevitably rises about whether he’ll ever work in hockey. He counts Vancouver Canucks coach Travis Green and Colorado Avalanche GM Joe Sakic among his close friends, and undoubtedly has a clear window into what those kind of jobs entail.

LA is mad drunk. Unfortunately the coilers win the trade.

Yeah, saw the trade and assumed that this was a salary dump for LA and that Cammalleri had a much larger salary than Jokinen ... but Cammalleri's contract is actually $100k less and they both expire next summer. Nice little move for Edmonton.

Two guys who I did not even realize were still in the league.

"Miles Wood" is a great hockey name.

Even better porn name.

 

[MS]

Even better porn name.

Still not as good as his dad's, though.

i know, but still, just casually slipping travis green in there between his two brothers and his sister? felt like an inside joke

it’s not like they really grew up together right? they’re four years apart and green is from the kootenays afaik.
