Around the League 2020-21 part 2 *Insert funny thread title here* edition

Are you saying the Kings may have all lima beans, or creamed spinach.

Wow! Just saw highlights of Oilers-Canucks game last night. What a collapse by the Canucks.

Yeah but Oilers fans will tell you Doughty doesn't deserve Norris consideration because he plays in a division without any offensive talent, yet will be happy to proclaim McDavid and Draisaitl the greatest gods on offense the world has ever seen when they get to go up against "defense" like Vancouver, Ottawa, and Toronto.

One of Hexy's picks in his first draft, and a good defenseman, just didn't get tbe minutes in philly. He'll get a shot in Pittsburgh, esp given how pourus they d is.

Habs fire Julien...

Did someone make the annual "Is someone going to beat the Canadians" thread that I missed? I swear they're always cup winners the first few weeks of the season.

You mean this one?
Montreal is the best team in the league

LOL. Yes there it is. I think I did see this one. It's funny as hell. Every freakin year I swear.

I remember they had a 10 or 11 game win streak a few years ago at the start of the year I believe, and they had the same thread about who can beat this team. It's so damn funny. I'm expecting another one next season, funny as hell. And on a side note, if anyone saw the game yesterday the Goalie of the Decade had a interesting game yesterday.

It was right below the Tyler Toffoli for the Hart thread.

Bergevin hit the panic button. Julien is a good coach, you needed a move, trade for a legit 1C. Ducharme has no NHL experience in a town that is a pressure cooker with a rabid fanbase. I think Bergevin fired Julien in hopes a coaching change would save a playoff spot and his job.

They may have a future 1C already but when your top two centers are under 22 they are going to be inconsistent.

That's correct, and it's something they should have identifed prior to the season, would have been less pressure on them in a critical role.

Playoff teams if there was no realignment. Saw this in a TSN article and thought it might be of some interest.

The picture is the current alignment. Is there one without realignment? Am I missing something?

Yeah, the Kings would be 3rd in the Pacific (% wise). Of course the exercise is pointless since the schedule makes no sense.

Is this based off of last season's results or something?

Edit: No wait, nvm. In the Pacific, top three is Vegas, Edmonton, Calgary with Vancouver as a WC.

Central would be Colorado, St. Louis, Dallas, but why would Nashville get the other WC and not Chicago?

 

[HookKing]

Jeez, Flyers and Rangers must think they are in the Canadian division. Every other shift is a breakaway.

They’re determined to go to OT so we can miss the first 5 minutes of our game.

That's neat, but given that each team only plays in-division, it's kind of pointless.

 

[KingLB]

Playoff teams if there was no realignment. Saw this in a TSN article and thought it might be of some interest.

Just from looking at it, I think it’s last year’s playoff teams, and where they currently are in this year’s divisions.

Which I guess is to show...well I’m not sure.

 

[KINGS17]

I think the object is to show which teams would make the playoffs based on winning percentage in the divisions and conferences reverted to last season's alignment. I could be wrong.

 

[Stimpythecat]

We'd be a legit second/third in the division if we could hold a lead vs. Minnesota.

 

[KingsFan7824]

Pts%:
1) Vegas
2) Min
3) Col
4) LA
5) Ari
6) StL
7) SJ
8) Ana

 

[HookKing]

Perry vs. Ehlers. Perry finds a midget to tangle with.

 

[Herby]

Toffoli may have won the Hart if they played Vancouver every game.

8-3-11 +9 in 5 games vs. them
4-2-6 -4 in 14 games vs. everyone else
