GDT: Around the League 2019-20 v16

[Aerchon]

National sportscaster drops only the Leafs line ups because you know, the Leafs are the only team that matter.

I hope Columbus kicks the living shit out of them literally and figuratively.

As much as that set of forwards is incredibly good imo that defense is incredibly bad.

I would imagine many here are at least familiar with guys like Barrie and Ceci. Both being brought up here a lot. I cringe at the thought of one of those guys on my team let alone both defensively.

They have a good team for the current nhl but tough playoff hockey will give then troubles. Their success hinges on phenomenal goaltending more than most teams imo. Out scoring teams generally isn't the best strategy come playoff time.

Jets in 3. Flames players can’t even practice together for undisclosed reasons. I hope the Jets curb stomp those assholes down south, in our building yet lol.

So long as Lafreniere doesn’t wind up in Calgary afterwords. Or Toronto.

LETS GO JETS

I love this little gem. Storytime on Gregor's show is the best thing to happen to local radio in a long time.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Cassidy, Tortorella and Vigneault are the three Adams finalists, Tippett gets snubbed.

The Oilers were on pace for a 17 point increase over 82 games this season from last, their power play was tops in the league and PK as shitty and God-awful as it was last season, was #2 this season. I guess that all had nothing to do with Tippett.

I don't disagree however, i think Tortorella wins this hands down and Vigneault did a great job with the Flyers. They barely lost any games after xmas so i think he deserves a nomination. I would have placed Tippett above Cassidy but he had the best record in the NHL so i guess that matters most people.

Torts I agree with too...he had a CBJ team battling for a playoff spot all season long even though the roster resembled that of an expansion team and just about everyone had them in and around bottom 3-5. Cassidy I'm pretty "meh" on, the Bruins were pretty stacked so a turnip would have had them at tops in the league. Vigneault I'm borderline on too, yes he did good with Philly but Tippett accomplished much more outside of the position in the standings. I think Tippett easily could have replaced either/or.

Oh well, it is what it is.

I just went back and looked.

Flyers lost 4 games in Jan. (one loss was in OT vs PIT)
2 games in Feb.
1 game in March.

Don't like playing the C Turtles before the series. Guess its to save travel.

 

[TB12]

I post this a lot because it's important...never forget that the Flames radio play-by-play announcer CRIED ON AIR last year when the Flames were eliminated. Real man tears. HE CRIED.

Pathetic.

Can't wait to see what happens this year if/when they're bounced by the Jets.

Teams are supposed to be in hub cities by the 26th, so travel doesn't play into the decision.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

....and no surprise, the Leafs bring in refs who weren’t covered by Phase 3 Quarantine rules. Leafs think they run the whole f***ing show.

Columbus is going to pound the little pretty Leaf boys. I wonder how Dumbass is going to simulate that.

Torts for PM please.

I had no idea that “commitment and focus“ were such key components of being nominated for a Lady Byng.

Toronto media gushing itself into oblivion that their poster boy with the pornstache - the same poster boy who had to buy his way out of a court case and into a settlement from a harassment charge this year - gets nominated for the dumbest and most nonsensical trophy outside of the Bridgestone Mark Messier Leadership Award.

Edit - love the lone comment

This man is a legend. Just give him the Jack Adams for that quote alone.

Guessing he's getting nominated for only having 8 PIMs (the least out of any of the top10 scorers this year). Same with MacKinnon who only had 12 PIMs and had 13 more points. O'Reilly only had 10 PIMs but only 37nd in scoring. Interestingly, Teräväinen also only had 8 PIMs and was 29th in scoring. Wonder why he wasn't nominated, guessing O'Reilly due to reputation, even though that really bothers me as the guy was caught drunk driving a couple of years ago yet he keeps getting nominated for Lady Byng. Makes no sense.

Just a little Overmanking for anyone who’s having a bad day, still seems like a troll his opinions are so bad. Looks like he has a new account though, that’s exciting

That is the worst post in HF history.

Another cringe-worthy article from Shilton. She's a fangirl, not a reporter. TSN's hiring standards are at an all-time low.

Thank goodness for NBC being in control of the leafs game feeds. Not sure the world could stand endless real time Nylander flow and Matthews nostrils.
