Around the League - 2019/20 Season Edition #2

[Pi]

Getting a back up now would be stupid. We needed one during our toughest stretch. Now it’s not tough. Not many back to backs and the schedule is very light as well.

no way I trade anyone from our roster for Georgiev. f*** that. Goalies are random. Who knows maybe Joseph Woll is ready next season and we don’t even need a back up.

This would be more entertaining then whatever the NHL all star game is about.

Islanders collapsed pretty hard today.

How do you feel now Devon?

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

The league is pretty crazy when the best defensive team can have a 4-1 lead and lose in regulation. I wonder if that will help people temper their wildly unrealistic expectations for the Leafs defense

With just how toxic their fans are seeing them blow a huge lead makes me happy.

 

[BertCorbeau]

It was 4-1...

So Ovechkin is gonna win the Rocket again isn't he..

 

[hamzarocks]

Ovechkin is going to win another rocket. This guy is the best goal scorer of all time AINEC.

If Ovechkin hadnt declined post 2010 and stayed an elite play maker and line driver he could have surpassed Howe and ended 4th all time. Rigjt now his lack of overall production (relative to other top 7 players of all time) pushes him back despite the generational goal scoring.

My top 10 post this season is

Gretzky
Lemieux
Orr
Howe
Crosby(could have been 3rd/4th if he stayed fully healthy is entire career)
Bourque
McDavid ( he will pass Howe when his career ends expecting 5-6 ross/hart/Lindsay's and 20+' individual awards overall for his career)
Ovechkin
Hull
Hasek

Holland up to his old tricks

 

[Menzinger]

4 years?

They may regret that as early as next season

Kassian is a guy who has value at like 1 mil aav. Once you start paying him like a legit 2nd tier guy.... thats trouble

 

[HoweHullOrr]

Florida is going to win their game.

 

[Big Muddy]

Rangers are 6 points behind but have played the fewest games with 3 games in hand. going to be a crazy finish.

 

[aingefan]

Parity is cool.

 

[Blowfish]

Parity is cool.

Love it! For the most part unpredictable and exciting and allows almost every team to be competitive to the end. How many folk love the Yankees and Red Sox knowing endless pit of $$$ mostly funded by taxpayers.

 

[LeafsNation75]

At least Patrick Kane didn't get 1000 points last night.

 

[Superstar]

Chicago on fire lately...beat up Winnipeg 5-2 tonight on the back-end of a back-to-back flying home from Toronto.
