Around the League 2020-21

[Kalv]

Gibson would rock Binnington

Since Binnington is even shorter than Dostal, he is extremely undersized , he would stand NO CHANCE against a guy like Stolarz as well, to who he could barely touch a chin

 

[Mr Rogers]

Lecavalier and Martin St Louis era was fun for them with 1 cup together but sucks how things turned out later for Lecavalier in his career from 50 goal machine to depth player too fast.

Yeah Vinny only had a short period where he was truly playing at an elite level for entire seasons. He always was capable of dynamic play for spurts but it was really just those two seasons where it all came together. Matt Cooke may have played a role in accelerating his decline. Vinny was a unique player in that it was tough to categorize him into the traditional playmaker or goal-scorer molds. He was just a well-rounded offensive player.

MSL was the better player but they both were really good in the playoffs. They were fantastic in 2011. But I don’t think Vinny is a HOFer.

they also had Dan Boyle, prime Brad Richards, and a couple other players who have played big roles for the franchise.

So , is it too soon to go after Barkov and convince him he ain’t winning there? Lol.

Lol. Can also convince him of the area too. No alligators or hurricanes here, no Florida Man incidents either.

Caps PP looking like hot dog water.

They have been studying the Ducks PP. lol .

Anytime Aho does something, it makes me sad to think he was still available when the Ducks picked Larsson.

I still don't understand how Jacob was the third rated Euro skater.

I hope Larsson has saved or invested his money wisely.
If he's worse than Sbisa then he might not last much longer before going back to europe.
The Ducks 2nd rounder Nattinen was a such a miss too.

I like how Ovi went ahead and scored afterwards, of course.

Not even Ovi could save our PP. lol.

 

[Arthuros]

Not even Ovi could save our PP. lol.

Don't get me thinking how we'd get Zegras playing with Ovi...

 

[Mr Rogers]

Carlson is such a smart player. always has that head up and never makes it easy on the goalie.

Which goalie are we talking about?

 

[Paul4587]

It’s so weird watching Oilers Jets after seeing all the US series with fans. So much less intensity.

 

[DigiDuck]

Aho is a playoff beast. Go Canes!

If Nashville never wins another playoff game, would that be so terrible?

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Don’t want to write off a team with championship pedigree this early, but St. Louis looks exhausted and overmatched. Avs probably close this out in 5.

St. Louis struggled against us, down the stretch. So yeah, not surprising they are having a hard time against a Top team in the league.

 

[Mr Rogers]

that is just an incredible shot by Mack

 

[Paul4587]

And to nobody’s surprise when the games matter relying on two players to do everything for you doesn’t work. Oilers have arguably the two best forwards in the league and they can’t win shot when it counts.

 

[Paul4587]

MacKinnon is the best player in the world come playoff time. Such a beast. Why did I pick the Oilers game to watch over this one!!??

Playoff MacK > Playoff McD

MacKinnon is built for postseason play, much like Crosby was/is.

 

[PaddyMcStackin]

Kadri gonna Kadri.

 

[DigiDuck]

Kadri makes it hard to root for the Avs. Such a fool.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Grubauer just has to have that

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

MacKinnon damn near singlehandedly carried the Avs to the conference finals last year when their entire team got hurt, he was absurd in the Dallas series. He's gotta be on a mission and they have everyone back.

I've said this before, but the lack of any sort of investment into quality wingers for McDrai must violate international law. I mean, I'm not mad about it as a division rival, but it would be better for hockey if the best player of this generation and last year's MVP were not forced to carry around Alex Chaisson, Zack Kassian, and the corpse of James Neal.
