Around The League 2018-19

I suppose... if you're running goalie reps on picking up a shot through a screen there are worse things you could come up with. Let's your shooter shoot with abandon and saves wear and tear on your defenders.

Yeah it is still really creepy tho lol

 

[GameSeven]

it seems like a very complicated solution to an almost nonexistent problem lol. look at that thing. think about how ridiculous that would be to transport between two places

I wouldn't say complicated. I mean, it's low-tech to say the least

But yeah, I'm not saying it's a fantastic idea... just thinking through the possible thought process.

Maybe nobody on the Leafs wants to block shots when they're scoring a dozen goals a game?

Better lateral movement than Lovejoy, trade opportunity

 

[Bleedred]

Dolan plays in a really terrible blues group that he books to open for bigger names all the time, and he pays ringers to come in and play with him. It's pathetic.

Haha I’ve never heard his band before, but I knew he booked himself as the opener a lot haha.

 

[RangerDoggo]

Dolan is a vile piece of trash, so not sure what he's so butt hurt about. It's not like the woman said something that wasn't true.

He's done a lot of really ****ty things. I remember a few years ago when he went off on that Knicks fan that wrote to him and told him to go root for the Nets because the Knicks didn't want him. He also accused the guy of being an alcoholic, which wasn't right to do.

The kicker: Dolan is a former alcoholic himself. The worst thing you can be in recovery is someone who gets holier-than-thou.

i used to (indirectly) work for him at MSG...this was around 10 years ago. biggest douche i ever met

No such thing as a former , whether he's still boozing or not, he's still one

I don’t subscribe to the AA model. Too much religion for a heathen like me.

 

[nugg]

Quenneville and Santini for Nylander and Taveras straight up

It's two for two!

 

[None Shall Pass]

Spare your ears. They suck. They're like Dad Rock Blues but there's nothing redeeming about it. Just awful. Bad bad bad.

I always thought about going over to the Rangers board to see if any of them uninronically enjoyed the band but I don't wanna get in trouble.

No more broken jaws! Using mannequins saves jaws! Save the jaws!

After 9 games, Kovalchuk is pacing for only 18 goals and 46 points.

This currently ranks him #362 of #501 NHL forwards is $/Point.

Admittedly, it's a little early for me to take my victory lap yet, but a reminder to all that KHL ≠ NHL.

Well to paraphrase a Shaq line about age, 35 ain't 25 either.

I'm sure this is better suited for the tan thread and I'm certainly no 12 step acolyte, but they do get some things for some people right.

It's a spectrum, but I generally agree with this sentiment.

And that's still good enough for him to be one of the better players on the Kings. They're not good, folks.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Kings are also awful, but it was always insanely bullish to think he would put superstar numbers at his age.

 

[manilaNJ]

The Coyotes have officially leap frogged the Kings in the standings, with a game in hand.
That's how well things are going in LA right now.

 

[Jack Be Quick]

Good for kovy.

It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

6 x $5.95

comparable for Vatanen?

 

[JrFischer54]

fleury's banana pads are back……..****ing nasty

Marc-Andre Fleury turns back clock with new solid gold pads

ill never forget the day i stopped giving a **** about international canadian hockey

i'm all for anything that breaks the boring mold. so this gets an A+ from me. Im really surprised goalies haven't tried to do a retro LOOKING leather pads from back in the day. maybe they have and i haven't seen it. my guess is if it was done it was only for a special game. or something similar to martys blocker that just had the dots in it

 

[devilsblood]

Kings have the 2nd fewest goals scored, and the 2nd worst GF%.

George McPhee is potentially screwing over Vegas in the long run. Schmidt, Theodore, Karlsson, and Tuch should not be getting the terms and money they’ve been given. It’s all based off of one year of overperformance. Combine that with poor asset management to get Tatar and subsequently Pacioretty and things could get really ugly there down the line.

And the trickle down effect of every other team that has to deal with those contracts as comparables now.

yet i was mocked when i said they should look into moving pieces last year. interesting to see how it plays out
