Around the league 2019-20

[duckpuck]

So then strip his ‘A’ and bury him in the pressbox. The ducks didnt have to buy him out

Perry would still be practicing with the team in your scenario, sulking and angry (understandably). And around the younger players which is a big part of what the ducks management did not want. As Static pointing out, they did the right thing by Perry in letting him find a different opportunity, even if it was not an easy decision.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

I think it's kinda cool.

Same. I always said it was a mistake the Sharks got rid of Pavelski and that the Sharks would not be as good as years before.

 

[Static]

I dont care about the sentimental stuff quite aa much as you do.
But I agree it hasnt and probably wont affect us. I understand why Murray did it

It would be more than sentimental stuff, there would be tangible effects to deal with in an already troubled room. Having a disgruntled former star who is best friends with the captain isn't a recipe for great success in a room full of kids learning to be pros.

I keep changing my mind on who gets the Smythe. I think it’s Points to lose now. Hedman was way ahead until game 4 then he had two terrible games in a row and Point continues to score. Kucherov is also deserving. Tampa is ridiculously spoilt to have those three on their team.

 

[Static]

Good for Tampa, excellent organization.

 

[McDonald19]

Tampa is stacked with offensive talent. #1 defensemen are so important as well, and that’s exactly what Hedman is.

 

[Terry Yake]

maroon wins the cup two years in a row

yuck

 

[dracom]

sad for Cogs and Perry, not thrilled Maroon wins again, but whatever. Tampa was obviously the better team and a good example of how to build an exciting team that can also win. hopefully other teams follow their example.

 

[Goose of Reason]

I still love Maroon and I'm happy for him, but man I wish Dallas got one for Cogs.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Wonderful. Yzerman should be proud.

That's a lot easier said than done. This is 99% due to them being the best drafting team over the past decade.

 

[duckaroosky]

Meh

 

[Dryish]

Despised all four CF teams, and in the end got to witness the most boring one out of them all win. Meh, indeed. Sucky as has been the rest of this year.

Good for Stamkos and Vasilevsky, though.

 

[Fighter]

I'm actually happy Tampa won, despite Cogs and Perrs I dislike the Stars a lot. Wish we could rebuild as well as they did, granted that having 1st and 2nd overalls helps more than 8s and 9s. Hedman is a heck of a player, I remember the skepticism around him the first two years he was in the NHL lol...

Yeah, there were some trade talks a few years in.

Oh well... wanted the Stars to get it for Cogs and Perry but Tampa just outshot and IIRC outhit them every game. Was bound to happen.

 

[Frosted Tips]

Disappointed but not mad. Tampa was clearly better.

Now can't wait for the draft and the beginning of the next season. Not sure how the season will be held but I just want to see some Ducks hockey already.

 

[SirQuacksALot]

Hedman with a well deserved CS. Guy was absolutely unreal at times this run.

 

[ducks8]

McBackup gets his cup as well.

 

[AngelDuck]

At this point Maroon will be one of those guys that hangs around into his early 40s due to the experience he has I think. How many deep runs is that for him now, like 5?

Good for him. Wish he won one with us too

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Asterisk.

 

[Kalv]

Rangers preparing for Pietro push?

 

[Paul4587]

Rangers preparing for Pietro push?

Or Eichel?

Pietro, Fox and Trouba would be the best group of RDs in the league if it happened.

 

[Dryish]

Or Eichel?

Pietro, Fox and Trouba would be the best group of RDs in the league if it happened.

Eichel already said with his agent's mouth that he's not willing to move out of Buffalo as of now. That rumour was dead in the water before it even made a splash.

 

[pbgoalie]

Even with his emotional press conference, I’m just glad Benn did not win. I have this irrational dislike for him
