Around Hockey XXIII (All Non-Jackets Hockey talk in here)

[majormajor]

That series is a tricky one because there are guys in both teams I really like and guys on both teams I really dislike.

My favorite guy is Marchand, no joke.

 

[majormajor]

The islanders give me hope that one day we can be like them

That to me is a dying hope. We were so much more like them just a few years ago. We had four lines that could all play with some jam.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I really like Danault

 

[Viqsi]

goodbye traitor

He was literally RIGHT THERE feebly swinging his stick to try to stop the shot that ended his season. G-d it feels SO GOOD.

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

Fittingly I think it was PLDouche who blew the coverage on Toffoli.

He was a shell of his former self.. what the hell happened to him. Forget I asked, who cares. Go to home depot and build yourself a barn to hide in. The Peg is going to try and dump him after such a stellar showing

 

[Viqsi]

RIGHT THERE.

Schadenfreude SO MUCH.

season ends the same way it started. Standing still

Honestly it's like a great mystery of life right now. Like magnets and shit.

Ok, to be fair, that was not his man, that was Morrissey's guy, Dubois was actually racing back to cover the guy his teammate lost track of.

I can say this while retaining schadenfreude because Dubois was objectively horrible in this series.

I really like Danault

I can't remember who repeated the old Jacques Lemaire line recently, but it applies to Danault. "Wes Walz is my fifty-goal scorer. He puts 20 in and stops 30 from going in."

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Ok, to be fair, that was not his man, that was Morrissey's guy, Dubois was actually racing back to cover the guy his teammate lost track of.

I can say this without feeling bad because Dubois was objectively horrible in this series.

The lords from all across Canada right now:

(for those who didn't watch GoT, this is where all these surly northern folk got together and proclaimed a "King of the North")

 

[Jovavic]

Looking at the stats I see that Andy has been...underwhelming for someone making that kind of money. I'm sure he's still being a fast and physical presence but I'm guessing the team would like some more offense out of him.

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

So PLD went the last 24 games of the season without scoring a goal (17 regular season games and 7 playoff games). Yikes. Maybe they need to bring Torts up to Winnipeg to yell at him on the bench and get his butt in gear.

And Maurice for the Jackets and Laine

 

[LoneFunyan]

If WPG doesn't announce that PLD had a season-long _______ injury and will undergo surgery, Jets fans are going to riot.

 

[MoeBartoli]

I’ve watched most of the games and he has indeed been underwhelming. While not scoring he also hasn’t brought that physical havoc to the ice.

 

[Nanabijou]

Just amazing how the Laine-Dubois trade was such a flop for both players in the first season. You have to figure that both have to be better next year. If it wasn't for Roslovic, this trade would be on track for a great example of a lose-lose trade between two teams. (And maybe it should be, as I kind of think of Roslovic for draft pick and Laine for Dubois as two separate trades that were rolled together)

 

[MoeBartoli]

I got a kick out of this one from the Toronto Star.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

The Leafs won the first Cup awarded after I was born. I am a Leafs fan but I’m starting to think it’s good for me that they haven't won since.

 

[Cyclones Rock]

PLD just scored an endorsement contract with Nordstom Canada for their Loafers Line.

 

[LJ7]

I'm so glad the Jets didn't see PLD's loafing as the huge red flag like I was afraid teams would see.

Well that means the rings represent your age as well.

 

[thebus88]

PLD has gone 23 games without a goal.

Fire Torts!!
