Around the League - 2023/24

HFAvs: What goalie can match George for the money?

Reality: A random cast off goalie signed on a deal to be a #3.

 

[The Shermanator]

3 on 3 looks fun when your season is on the line.

 

[Balthazar]

Roy did it, Isles are in the playoffs.

 

[dahrougem2]

I thought Boston threw the game intentionally to get Washington but NYR and Carolina are ahead

 

[Metallo]

If I had a vote, I think would give the Hart to Crosby now. Dude is willing that team from the dumpster to the playoffs. Kuch has been good, but can't get over the number of ENG points he has, and Mack has kinda fallen off a cliff the last 2 weeks, or at least his team has. While he has the most even strength points since like 1995 (I think that's what I read or heard yesterday) he's not powering them to wins like he was. If Pittsburgh gets in, I think Crosby should win it.

Let's be reality Mack has almost 50pts on Sid.

People need to remember the definition of the trophy. It's not best player in the league or most impressive season (like it probably should be). It's most valuable to their team.

 

[S E P H]

I switched between a lot of those important games today, and man, all those teams are just horribad to get that last playoff spot. Whoever gets it, should get destroyed by the Rags regardless (or Canes).

Also, how did the Avs lose back-to-back to the Habs? Awful team.

Yeah and Mack is more valuable than Sid.

 

[The Shermanator]

Yeah and Mack is more valuable than Sid.

Agreed.

 

[dahrougem2]

100 assists for McDavid. Nuts in this day and age.

Kucherov probably gets there in his final game, too.

 

[RECKLESS]

Without Mack I seriously doubt we're even in.

 

[BobRossColton]

So who really deserves celebrini?

I think we are in a new golden age of scoring. Too many of these old numbers are being matched. It isn’t 80s, but we should really redefine what these numbers really mean. Don’t get me wrong, it is super cool to see still.

I’d love to see the era adjusted numbers on Crosby’s 120 point season and McDavid’s last year. Sucks that health robbed what might’ve been 2 season from him around ~130 points when the leading scorers were getting 104 and 109. The end of career discussions regarding who was better between him and McDavid might’ve been a lot more heated if injuries hadn’t killed that

 

[GeoRox89]

That should be WC1 locked up for Nashville now. LA can at best tie them in points and RW but Nashville will finish ahead on ROW wins. Vegas can still move up to P3 and knock LA to WC2 though

I think it's a given now Vegas passes LA. Their last two games are against Chicago and Anaheim.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Without Mack I seriously doubt we're even in.

And without Sid, Pittsburgh is likely in the running for a top 5 draft pick.

 

[BobRossColton]

So Vegas Edmonton, Dallas Nashville, Vancouver LA?

Yeah, but f*** Kucherov.

 

[Grigowski]

So Dallas gets LA instead of Vegas?....They allready can plan for round 2 if so....

And Edmonton gets Vegas.... Oh boy.....

At least we are not the only "Favorites" which will be golfing 2 weeks from now...

Vegas needs to win their last two games for this to happen, but yeah, looking like a possibility that one of Edmonton or Vegas will be joining the Avs for some early May golf.

 

[UncleRisto]

The Soothsayer!!!!

(Get a REAL first name, asshole)

I like how you Google this guy's first name and get knives and pliers and Google is like or did you mean the boat?

Roy did it, Isles are in the playoffs.

Save by Roy

 

[Grigowski]

Vegas needs to win their last two games for this to happen,

Chicago and Anaheim at home..... Vegas will want to gain more self-confidence for the playoffs.

Maybe they prefer to play Dallas in Round 1, who knows.

But i think it will be Edmonton-Vegas.

 

[BaconNater]

All this focus on the Hart trophy race (Kuch, McD, Nate, Matthews or Sid) and they'll all be done in Round 1! Maybe Tampa beats Boston
