GDT: Around the League 2020-21 v5

[Section337]

I fist pumped a Tkachuk goal. It feels so wrong.

Flames fans should be like this right now:

Ottawa has been playing better, ever since their away games in Edmonton.

 

[Snipes45]

LOl MTL

Time to open and record the post game show. TSN 690. lol

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

I just knew montreal would tie this grrrrrrr

I’ll stick rock a split though!!!!!

Also what the hell happened to the Flyers? Last I saw it was 2-2 lmao. Man oh man.

Holy crap 6-2 Bruins. What happened?

To be fair, Brady is a lot more likeable than Matthew. Kneeordano got his hands on Matthew from a young age to teach him, and enable him on the art of cheap shots.

Yup, and Brady is going to show he's the better player of the two brothers

Good work Sens

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Montreal really doesn't have any high end talent. I think they are going to taper off pretty hard here relying on a team that lacks talent who had a hot start.

Yep - their offseason was praised by many but their holes are pretty obvious and there's only so much you can do with hard work. Most of their guys were pacing for career years but they're coming back down to Earth now.

Edmonton and Toronto have been the best teams in the Canadian division as of late. 3, 4 & 5 being Winnipeg, Montreal, and Calgary respectively, with Ottawa/Vancouver at the bottom. Although Ottawa has definitely started looking a lot better as of late as well. Amazing what even average goaltending can do.

Also for some reason Brady Tkachuk has always reminded me of Pulju lol. They kind of have a similar (ish) build and face.

We need more colour vs colour games

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Ah well. One point is better than 2 for Mtl.

What I like is Ottawa is trending up just in time for a 4 game series vs the Flames later this week.

Sens deserved it
too bad the Habs got a point

Silver lining in this: A Montreal point puts them 4 ahead of Calgary and Ottawa winning gets them within 6. Ottawa is closer to Calgary in points than Calgary is to us.

Yup, totally agree. Imo its Toronto, Edmonton, and Winnipeg (once PLD gets in and finds his spot) as the clear cut top 3, and then 4th place is up for grabs depending on how hard Montreal falls. Luckily for them the Flames and Canucks are just down right awful, and Ottawa is far too young and raw to push for the spot that they might just get it by default.

 

[BlackDogg]

Sens win!!!

The good brother scored

 

[Snipes45]

I agree above. TO/WPG/EDM are the top 3 teams right now the way they are playing.

 

[snipes]

The Sens are going to curb stomp that confused, cement boots of a roster they have on the Lames.

All the dysfunctional toxicity of that lockeroom isn’t a good formula for success.

 

[McFlyingV]

The good brother scored

Haha too true. I actually don't have any hatred for Brady like some do on here after the scrum with Kassian. Lets be honest Kassian is hilarious and we love him, but he's kind of a doofus himself sometimes lol. Matthew on the other hand is a true scum bag rat who deserves to live in the sewers of Calgary at his 9mil qualifying offer for the remainder of his career.

 

[Snipes45]

Jake Allen was great. He would have been a good 1a or 1B

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Silver lining in this: A Montreal point puts them 4 ahead of Calgary and Ottawa winning gets them within 6. Ottawa is closer to Calgary in points than Calgary is too us.

I just want Ottawa peaking when they play the Flames 5 times next week

Ottawa is at least splitting that series, book it.

 

[Snipes45]

Ottawa has 5 wins

TO - 2
MTL - 2
Wpg - 1

Soon to be a few against Cowgary

Jake Allen was great. He would have been a good 1a or 1B

He's bounced back nicely the past two seasons in a reduced role after 2 terrible seasons as a starter. He's a very good back up, but I don't think he has what it takes to be a consistently good to great starter.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Yup, totally agree. Imo its Toronto, Edmonton, and Winnipeg (once PLD gets in and finds his spot) as the clear cut top 3, and then 4th place is up for grabs depending on how hard Montreal falls. Luckily for them the Flames and Canucks are just down right awful, and Ottawa is far too young and raw to push for the spot that they might just get it by default.

PLD may help, but his addition is kind of more of what they already have, which is offensive firepower and grit. Their black hole is on defense whereas ours is (was) in net.

If Koskinen and Smith can keep up their recent stretch I think we can contend with first place. It'll come down to our games versus the Leafs (although if we continue to split that then it'll come down to our record against everyone else).

We need more colour vs colour games

Ya this looks cool.

The dark and white was for 100 years ago when wool colors were very basic and then black and white grainy tv for viewers to differentiate between the teams which is why Toronto will never vote for color v color. They are still mired in 1967.

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

Well the Habs won against the Sens so it doesn't count.

Oh wait, you're saying they lost? LOL
