Around the League 2018-19 v4

Wow AZ you are terrible.

 

[Oilhawks]

Let's say that San Jose & Calgary have two spots locked up in the Pacific at this point (yes, it's early yadda yadda). LA will likely take last spot in the division (and the league?), Vancouver and Arizona will likely be fighting for second and third last spots.

That leaves Edmonton, Anaheim and Vegas in the mix for the third spot (both Wildcard likely going to Central). If Hitchcock can continue to get the most out of this roster (which is IMO is around as flawed / weak as Anaheim and Vegas - in different ways but still), they have a good chance of beating out those two for the third spot. It will be tight though and they simply have to keep winning, especially in the Pacific, and especially against those two teams in their remaining games.

That was BAAAADDD Hammer.

 

[RalphKing]

Did he forget they're in their reds? lol

Devils are legit awful.

Remind me a lot of the Oilers.

Small core of great forwards with trash around them.
Nonexistant D.
Shady goaltending.

Kincaid stopped doing backflips in net for them? Bummer.

Trade goalies last year with us and the records probably perfectly swap. But Hall probably is still given MVP over McDavid, just to stick it to Chia, hehe.

Nick Schmaltz to Arizona, Dylan Strome and Brendan Perlini to Chicago. Chayka didn't draft Strome or Perlini but that looks bad on the Coyotes organization trading two former high 1st round picks for another former 1st round pick who's struggling somewhat. The Coyotes really have trouble developing young players, which seems familiar to me for some reason.

That is some crazy lack of patience with Strome by Chayka. Kid put up pretty good AHL numbers. 21 year old kid couldn't be a consistent top end performer within a complete disaster NHL lineup, oh no, better dump him.

 

[Oilhawks]

Strome will probably do decent in Chicago playing 2C/3C but Schmaltz was scapegoated this year. Not sure who wins that trade in the long run. Definitely a Chayka move.

Seems like he didn’t believe either player would be anything special.

 

[oobga]

Give this boy his 11M+ AAV

 

[Mez]

See with Playoff teams, if they have poor games they still come out with wins half the time. For us if we have good games we come out with wins half the time.

 

[Del Preston]

There is no one at the Devils-Panthers game.

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

There is no one at the Devils-Panthers game.

Yeah that looks like a failed experiment. 25 years to build a fanbase and this is the end result.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Hows the nfl and nba doing?

 

[Soundwave]

[Tobias Kahun]

I don’t even know if that meme is accurate.

 

[joestevens29]

Why wouldn't they just get rid of the upper bowl and put everyone in the lower bowl to make it look packed?

 

[joestevens29]

Hows the nfl and nba doing?

Bucs 84.1% with 55k
Dolphins 101.1% with 65k
Jags 97.9% with 66K

Magic 87.4% with 16.5k

Lightning 100% with 19k
Panthers 74.2% with 12k Panthers also have 3rd lowest % on the road in the league

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Yeah that looks like a failed experiment. 25 years to build a fanbase and this is the end result.

I bet 90% of the fans in the stands are Devils fans. I remember going to a Lightning game against the Devils while i was vacationing in Florida. Massive number of Devils fans attended the game since a bunch of people from New York/New Jersey vacation & live in Florida in the winter.

How many coaches did the GM get in Philly before getting fired?

 

[Del Preston]

How many coaches did the GM get in Philly before getting fired?

Just one.

 

[oobga]

Just one.

May have refused to fire the coach to save himself though. Chia lacks those kinds of balls. Hakstol is probably a dead man walking.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Just read that Holmgren is the interim GM and has narrowed down his search to four candidates... Clarke remains employed in upper management... Philly has their own version of the OBC.

 

[Soundwave]

Vegas and Anaheim look like they're finding their groove, Pacific may not be such a cake walk.
