Around The League 2019-20 Part VIII

[njdevils1982]

It depends your set-up. Being able to distribute the puck effectively and read the play is half of what being a PPQB is about. The umbrella set up is all about being in those positions because those are where the angles are most effective. It's nearly impossible to defend that set-up with four players once you're in position. Butcher does a good job of getting set-up and maintaining the puck in the zone which is half the battle.

The days of the defender with a booming shot on the PP are pretty much over. It's more about being simple and effective. Having a talented guy like Hughes, Makar, or Burns will obviously make a huge difference, but for the most part, it's distribution and moving the puck to the dangerous guy more than anything. Or knowing when the lane is opening and taking your shot.

time for some gelly bombs!

Once again.... RR Pt.2 (see how "into it" the crowd is? Wish we had a real Goal-scoring song instead of the Generic crap we got now)

Oh and Gelinas? Meh. Rolston had a better shot.

(a better shot at breaking the glass that is)

One of the highlights of Bobby Holik is the interview where he clowned Mottau's shot.

Might need to revive that soon.

Sean McIndoe (DownGoesBrown) at the Athletic had a fun game where he made an entire team with a common "rule". For those who have the Athletic: Down Goes Brown: Can you figure out the simple rules behind...

I might have some fun and put together a couple Devils related ones.

It is tough losing year after year.

It is tough losing year after year.

Zacha, the VAN pick if it is this year, Butcher, Seney, and Lovejoy's private cellphone number. Sure, it's a bit of an overpayment given that Seney leads all drafted Devils prospects in something good since 2012, but move Hughes to wing and play Eichel and Jack with Palms, and Nico can center Bratt and Gusev. Zajac can stay on the third line on one year deals until McLeod is ready and there you have it.

The league did confirm teams out of the qualifying round can start trading between each other now. Let’s do it.

Should’ve thought about that before signing a long term contract there Jackie

He was an RFA. He was gonna be there through 2022 anyway, unless he got traded.

And he can still get traded if he/they really want him to.

 

[NJDevs26]

Well Buffalo DID trade Ryan O'Reilly for a song when he got sick of losing.

 

[The 29th Pick]

load up on guns and bring your friends,
its fun to lose and to pretend
oh well whatever nevermind !

 

[Spoiled Bratt]

It is tough losing year after year.

And that’s why we have to start having some type of progression, sooner rather then later, before Nico gets the same vibe Jack is having atm.

 

[njdevils1982]

i love buffalo

 

[MadDevil]

The Silver Knights? How original...

 

[glenwo2]

Golden Knights’ AHL team to be called Henderson Silver Knights

Interesting.

 

[MadDevil]

Their ECHL affiliate will be called the Bronze Knights.

 

[Forge]

Interesting.

I'm excited to have them. Means I will get to go to a lot more hockey games

I can’t help but love the cheesiness of the Knights franchise. I love the Devils but how many franchises have red, black or white color schemes. The Canes could of kept the Whalers colors but red and black made more sense!?

Besides the Devils my favorite color schemes

Avs
Sharks
Knights
Wild
(Hopefully Seattle)

The Preds are different but I find the yellow ugly.
