Around the League 2019-20 - Part I

[tbcwpg]

Matthews usually racks up a ton of goals in the first few weeks and then tapers. I think he has a 50 goal season in him. I hope it's in a full 82.

Matthews is definitely gonna be in the Hart conversation this year. People can say what they want about the Leafs, and the fans, and the media, and all of that, but if you watch them objectively without focusing on the logo, they are a top 5 team to watch in the NHL.

I don't mind the Leafs at all. They are a fun team to watch, that play an exciting brand of hockey.

It's the fans, and also the incessant media coverage that I despise.

The ROC (rest of Canada) has taken notice!

Real Deal Neal with 4 for the Coilers, 6 on the season!

 

[WolfgangPuck]

That Neal for Lucic deal turning out really well for the Oilers so far

Meanwhile, Lucic with zero points and 2 handfuls of Flame fans tears.

 

[JetsFan815]

Shots in the LA-Flames game are 23-4 for LA. How?

 

[bustamente]

Sharks sign Marleau they need help anyway they can get it

 

[AlphaLackey]

Meanwhile, Lucic with zero points and 2 handfuls of Flame fans tears.

To be fair he also has 21 PIM and was at least a plain zero.

WHOOPS forgot last night's game. 3G, 0-0-0, -1, 26 PIM. WOW.

 

[roccerfeller]

I hope the oilers crash and burn

and then crash and burn some more

I thought trading Neal was a bit hasty on the part of Calgary, after only one season. Especially for Lucic who has had many garbage seasons with Edmonton.

Yeh seemed desperate

 

[Gm0ney]

Anything that makes the Flames worse is fine with me. Unfortunately, the deal made Edmonton better but they were probably due for a personnel move that wasn't a complete disaster.

Late in the third it's Sabres 4 Jets 3.

4-4 Chiarot tied it up.

Anyone here delighted that we now have Bourque instead of Armia?

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Neal looked like a fat, sassy beer leaguer last season. Seriously, he looked like he was pregnant. Could hardly move.

I get why Calgary traded him, but they somehow took on an even bigger waste of space in Lucic. They should’ve taken on a bloated goalie contract instead.

This question doesn't even make sense. Pick some random player from the past that has moved on and compare him to a current 4th line PB guy that is a league minimum player on a 2 way. You could always flip the question the other way and cherry pick the players.

Leafs butt's whupped. That is all

it is unfair that the tampa players get to pad their stats, playing the eastern teams

Tampa is a awesome regular season team , playoffs not so much .

Hasn't the 7pm CBC HNIC timeslot always been Toronto-centric, even prior to SN?

Toronto has had the Saturday evening time slot since the 1950s. Amazed that people think this is something new.

Actually, that is not all.

Leaf's butts whipped - again.

Leafs defense appears to be even worse than ours with all the missed games we've had.
