Around the League 2018-19 v7

Not sure which I feel better about, the oilers winning or the Anaheim deplosion.

League trying to help the flames out.

Mr. Bean runs a blatant pick and can't believe he gets a penalty for it.

 

[Drivesaitl]

With the Kings W again tonight theres only 5pts between last place and WC spot after the Allstar break. This is crazy shit. Basically everybody is in it now.

Sharks and Flames fans are going at it in the GDT on the main boards.

I had to take a look. Was not disappointed.

Watch the six goals the Sabres let in tonight and try to blame one on Ullmark.

In this current six game losing streak, Anaheim has been outscored 31-6.

 

[GodPucker]

Man I read CGY has been down 2 or more goals in like 22+ games this year.

That is INSANE

They are a pretty good all around team, but how sustainable is that?

Well it's not a recipe for success in the playoffs, that's for sure. Teams dial it in defensively and it's tougher to come back. I can see them winning a playoff round, maybe two if they get some injury and ref help agains San Jose/Vegas. They're not tough enough or consistent enough defensively though to win a 7 game series against Winnipeg or Nashville. I think Treliving would need to add a defenseman and forward if the Flames want a shot this year and even then they don't have a playoff proven starter.

Makes you wonder where they'd be if Gibson wasn't playing elite for the first couple months.

Yeah, Sabres success was a mirage this year. Almost purely due to goalies saving the teams bacon. Oh no, goalie won't do backflips to make up for the team giving up golden chances all night anymore, guess it's all the goalies fault they're losing now.

Even if all 6 were horrible goals, when does a player ever say that about the goalie?

Has anyone said that here? Usually it's more about how they need to support their goalie and play tighter defense. Coaches from time to time will say the goalie needs to be better, but I can't remember a player saying that.

Not shocking. How many young teams can continue to let in 3+ goals and continue to outscore their opponents? Sooner or later the goaltending will buckle.

What he should of said was "We suck and cant win unless our goalie plays out of this world and saves our butts."

 

[BlackDogg]

Drai tied for third in league for goals. Not too shabby for the German Idle.

Lol now he is saying he meant to say “we need to help the goalies more” Haha and Buffalo fans are believing it. Whatever dumb comment I’m glad he took it back.

That's what I've been saying, I don't believe they're as good as their record indicates. I'm not sure how many games those two+ goal deficits turned into wins for them, but they could just as easily be a wild card team as they are leading the division.

One thing I can give them credit for is not giving up. They battle right to the final horn just about every game.

However, if there's a division leader to be upset by a wild card team in the 1st round, my money is on Calgary (if they even finish first).

On holidays with in-laws from Calgary and told them they are gonzo come playoff time as those leads aren’t relinquished as easily come playoff time. They seem to think Calgary’s recipe for success is to lull the other team into a false sense of security and then pour it on in the 3rd period.

Yeah ok is my reply. Cant argue with stupid.

That might have worked in Rocky III. It's a bold strategy-lol.

They were literally shocked that the Flames didn’t come back against the Sharks the other day. I had to be careful with my chirping because Oilers, but told them to get used to it.

They do it so often, the fan base expects it to come naturally.

The Ducks are getting smoked again.

 

[GodPucker]

Oh man seeing the Ducks get absolutely annihilated the last 2 months makes my day. F*** that team
