Around the League - 2019/20 Season Edition #2

[Merrrlin]

Their goaltending has been slipping, but they are also missing their best defenceman and several forwards, including two of their best defensive forwards.

If Toronto doesn't get to use the injury excuse, neither should anyone else IMO.

Not using it as an excuse, but just pointing it out. Like the Leafs, they are one of the teams with less depth.

Komarov was one of several players who was a -3 in that game, but their new savior, Pageau, was -5.

 

[Loosie]

you know. I shouldn't laugh.
but i can't help but laugh. this is just. nuts.

Jim wanted to spend money.....

Jim wanted to spend money.....

that's probably exactly what did it.

Imo the number are just catching up with them.

They were using redhot goaltending to overcome poor underlying numbers and thats not usually sustainable

Woh. That sucks for Canes fans.

Woh. That sucks for Canes fans.

Sucks that our Leafs lost to them with an MLSE employee guarding their net too!

 

[Tony Romo]

Come on Boston.

 

[Superstar]

Come on Boston.

Florida playing desperate...Leafs need to beat LA tonight!

 

[2 Slick]

Florida has one point for sure, I bet they do catch Toronto and even pass them up, just have that strange feeling

Boston wins! If the Leafs play hard the rest of the way, it's going to be difficult for Florida to catch them.

 

[Tony Romo]

Krug! Gotta win tonight to go 6 points up

I know, just talkin out of frustration, I talk smack sometimes when they drive me crazy and play bad. I was watching the overtime, nice to see Florida found a way to choke after playing a very solid defensive and very boring game I might add.

 

[1specter]

That top line is perfect.

We gifted them Rask.

Chara is also a god.

I remember thinking in like 2013 that hes old and cant have much left.

2013!

Chara and the rest of the Bruins also have their own rulebook so I guess that's nice.

 

[1specter]

They made a bunch of moves yet are falling more after the deadline. Really should've acquired Lehner

 

[Loosie]

Zibanejad had 5 goals tonight. Rangers beat Washington 6-5 in OT

 

[klmdg]

Buffalo needs to start over with a new GM and run with Dahlin as the main man.

Botterill inexplicably bought at the deadline and announced the goal of having a big March to build momentum for next season.
His team has responded by losing 5 in a row.

Meanwhile, Captain Jack has gone MIA. He is pointless in his last 6 with 22:01 TOI, and a cool -8 during his cold snap.

Not disputing that at all. But someone seemed to think that because Komarov was a -3 in that game, the loss was totally his fault. Just pointing out that he may not have been the only reason, and that injuries and poor goaltending may have been factors.

He's turned himself into a #1C in New York.

Glad it was there and not Ottawa

 

[MattySnipes]

I hope Rangers make the playoffs over that fake New York team that doesn't have a real home arena.

[leafsleafs]

The “pocket rocket” Henri Richard just passed.

Been watching the games since 63, and he was on the hated Habs when it mattered.

Nothing but mad respect for the guy.

He was good.

 

[stickty111]

Sabres, get him out of his misery. I'm not an Eichel fan, but he deserves better.

Yikes!
