Around the League 2018-19: Part V

[Eyeseeing]

It's bizarre that a team that's a hundred years old is treated like the baby sibling

It’s not surprising.
It serves a huge market not just Toronto but a big chunk of Ontario not to mention strong pockets of Leaf fans across the country.
It’s hard to take for sure*
but advertising follows marketing numbers.

*Matthews has a tummy ache
*Nylander coloured his hair.
Exaggerating but the constant coverage is THAT annoying

Whoever is the colour guy for Sportsnet on this Montreal game is having an absurdly hard time determining whether a puck that clearly deflected off Jordie Benn into his own net actually hit him.

We watched some of the game on APTN, I don't understand Cree outside of a couple of words but found their broadcast much more entertaining and enjoyable than the usual SN English teams.

 

[HannuJ]

[Saintb]

Andrew Ladd out for the season with a torn ACL

Tough luck for the guy. Injuries are gonna do him in sooner rather then later.

think they did him in 3 years ago

Ladd on LTIR might be the best case scenario for the Isles.

 

[Jets 31]

He just didn't want to play against the Jets .

That hernia set him back permanently for sure.

Or maybe Blake Wheeler carried him for years. Whatever the case, the Jets really dodged a bullet.

You couldn’t be more wrong. What athlete has ever fully recovered from a hernia operation? It wasn’t a coincidence his decline was immediately after the hernia. People need to open their eyes.

Performance and Return to Sport After Sports Hernia Surgery in NFL Players
"Conclusion:

There was a high RTS [Return To Sport] rate after AP surgery without a significant difference in postoperative performance, though career length and games per season after AP surgery were significantly less than that of matched controls."

That study only looked at NFL players, but still, I think "You couldn't be more wrong" is a bit harsh.

Also, did Bryan Little have some hernia surgery that we just never heard about or is his decline immediately after being separated from Wheeler just a coincidence?

Probably had something to do with chained to Laine for two years. Now he’s with Lowry who’s offense has been nonexistent this year. If we want offense from Little, it ain’t gonna happen on Lowry’s wing. He was more effective playing center. I’d rather he be on Copp’s wing honestly.

Indeed -your so right Gmoney - I was so glad when the Jet's didn't resign him, although they tried, and offered him a lot of money. I'm glad he got more elsewhere. He was already on the slow side, and then has a "hernia", which tells me his insides are starting to weaken. A "dodged bullet " for sure. - A $ 36 million dollar bullet, that would have critically impacted the Jets.

Leafs lose in the shootout to Philly.

 

[nhlpro]

Yup Tavares shootout try was awesome lol

 

[bustamente]

Hey at least Nylander got his 6th goal of the year

 

[AlphaLackey]

Yup Tavares shootout try was awesome lol

I could practically hear The Price Is Right's "you lose" oboe solo after he cacked on it.

Avalanche are looking like they're set to take that #8 spot, looking great tonight against Vegas.

Ben Bishop leaves the game with Calgary, nagging injuries always finds this guy.

Hate to see a guy get hurt but this greatly benefits us if we play them in Round 1

 

[AlphaLackey]

ahahaha take that Arizona
