2019-2020 - Around the League (All non-Stars NHL Talk here)

Can broken Vilardi put up 2 goals a game for us, cause that would make me smile

I’m pro Fabbri and pro Vilardi so yes

 

[Kalamazoo Wings]

I’m pro Fabbri and pro Vilardi so yes

Me as well, wanted Fabbri at the 2014 draft but nö... admittedly Larkin wouldn't have been bad either.

Ok seriously whats with this obsession over Nic Petan ? The guy is a fringe NHL player signed for another season. If he was UFA maybe someone puts in a claim but nobody wants be to stuck with a fringe guy that probably won't work ( because he never has anywhere ) out for longer than 1 season .

By the way Hanley will also clear when Klingberg and Polak are back and he gets waived. Hanley is also signed for next season . Teams would have to be completely devastated by injuries to make a claim for guys who aren't upcoming free agents. ( UFA or RFA )

I know, the guy scored tons in junior (5 years ago). Also had a good season in the AHL, but has never put it together at the NHL level and likely never will.

Carl doing big things.

Makar has 2 goals tonight so far, which means he has 17 points in 17 games this season. Crazy

Obviously a lot of that production is from the PP and MacKinnon but still that's insane.

 

[serp]

Leafs backup situation is just awful.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Don Cherry is finally off my TV, I haven't been happier in years.

 

[serp]

Considering Cherry said worse stuff over the years ( and there was some really awful stuff back in the 80's and 90's you can find on youtube ) i'm honestly suprised this is what ended it . Probably just not worth keeping around anymore. Too much incoherent rambling.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

I actually feel bad for people that sat there and watched him during intermission.. like how anyone found that entertaining, informative, or interesting is beyond me.

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Cherry has basically been meme fodder for the last five years. Took long enough to pull the trigger.

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

In the 90s and early 2000s he was much watch TV for me on Saturday nights. Good times.

But yeah, in the last 10-12 years I never tuned into him. Brian Burke is an updated, more current model.

 

[Kcb12345]

 

[serp]

I think there's a real chance Babcock gets fired in the next couple of days. The way the Leafs played infront of the rookie goalie was just pathetic. No heart , nothing , they just quit .

11 minutes TOI for generational talent Rasmus Dahlin

 

[Kcb12345]

11 minutes TOI for generational talent Rasmus Dahlin

Yeah he got benched for the entire 3rd period

Sad part is tonight was probably his best game in quite some time despite being benched

 

[Kalamazoo Wings]

Yeah he got benched for the entire 3rd period

Sad part is tonight was probably his best game in quite some time despite being benched

I was disappointed, I tuned in for the 3rd and was wondering wtf was up. I originally thought he might be injured, so at least it was just a benching and nothing worse.

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

He hasn’t scored in awhile as well if I’m not mistaken, rough sophomore season for Dahlin.

 

[Kalamazoo Wings]

In other news Makar is absolutely lights out. 4 apples tonight, and has such a good stick defending too. Bright future for him for sure.

 

[Kcb12345]

Yeah Makar's got 22 points now in 20 games. Crazy, and most of that is with just MacKinnon alone. Imagine if Rantanen and Landeskog were healthy

 

[serp]

Quite a bit of it is MacKinnon beeing just a machine. Teams need to focus on neutralizing him as much as possible or he's gonna roll you over especially right now where the Avs have injuries to their other star forwards.

Yeah, 14 of Makar's 22 points to be exact have come from plays that also involved MacKinnon.

Makar is very talented though so it's really not surprising at all that good things are coming offensively while he's on the ice. It also won't be surprising when he easily cracks 60+ points this season. It's basically like playing MacKinnon with a younger version of himself

But there will be plenty more games like tonight where he picks up assists without having to do anything at all thanks to MacKinnon. Makar's pass to Kadri was a beauty tho

I’d still take Miro over Makar .

 

[serp]

It actually happened . Thought Babcock would get the roadtrip. Oh well.
