Around the League - PLAYOFFS!?

[Burnie97]

Right!

Possibly 4 legit cup threats will be out in 2 weeks.

Toronto. Boston. Florida Tampa. Dallas. Vegas. Col. Winnipeg.

Hopefully... Boston, Tampa, Vegas, Winnipeg... gone

 

[MarMarSab3]

Toronto. Boston. Florida Tampa. Dallas. Vegas. Col. Winnipeg.

Hopefully... Boston, Tampa, Vegas, Winnipeg... gone

Why Winnipeg?

 

[BallardEra]

Im thinking Keefe and sully get fired and do a Pitt tor swap.

It is kind of crazy that

4 of
Toronto. Boston. Florida Tampa. Dallas. Vegas. Col. Winnipeg are gauranteed out in round 1

Only problem is that Sullivan has a new 3 year deal that kicks in next season and the FSG ownership group loves him.

 

[Menzinger]

Ol Gary looks legitimately furious lol

I suspect they'll bring another team to Arizona eventually but probably wait out that 5 year bid agreement they have with Meruelo first

 

[Burnie97]

Why Winnipeg?

Nothing really against Winnipeg but MacKinnon is great... so I hope they go far... but also... I want the Leafs to be the next Canadian team to win a cup.

So Leafs vs Colorado Stanley cup is all good.

But if you had Leafs vs Winnipeg and we lost that'd be bad

But... lol... if the Leafs lose to Boston... I'd be okay with a Winnipeg cup.

I like Fury, but Blizzard is good too. Venom would open itself up so some interesting jersey colour choices.

Those names are all awful, MLS-esque.

 

[Legion34]

I still like.

Swarm (bee hive reference)
Elk (their animal)
Phoenix (cool animal/reference to roots)
Yeti
Olympians (the arena/history could use Thor/zeus)

Raptors would be cool. I heard they had a dinosaur.

I liked salt lake sidewinders (horned snake).


Utah rattlers could be ok.

Hopefully Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Vancouver are out in round 1.

As long as a team other than OTT, MTL, and CGY win it, I'm good !!! None of those teams fans wanted our Leafs to win the Matthews draft lottery !!!

 

[rumman]

Does anyone think Brindamour leaves Carolina?

I would be open to him coaching the Leafs

He’s one if yhe best coaches in the league imo, his players love hom and they’ll go to war for him, exactly what ghe Leafs need, but pigs will fly before he coaches in Toronto imo…….

Montreal winning would generate so much discussion here.

Calgary would be nice to keep talent in Canada, and annoy Bettman.

 

[rumman]

They should embrace the moab theme, or something along those lines……..

Sidewinders is a cool name……..

I believe I heard yesterday that his contract is up.

I wonder if they don't make the SCF if he would be open to coming here.

Unless Keefe wins the Cup, if I am Leafs management, I offer him the moon

I’d move heaven and earth to get him to coach here, guys a true leader, something Keefe doesn’t have in him……..

Yeah for sure. That would be just fine with me. Not sure they can all jump up to #1 though.

What I want to see is anyone but SJ win it. They don't deserve Celebrini. They are a dead end franchise IMO. It would be nice if Celebrini went to the Ducks to join Carlsson , Gauthier and their young core. Or join Bedard in Chicago. What a rebuild that would be.

Sidewinders is a cool name……..

Ya. I think they go yeti or swarm.

I would have went phoenix. But they probably don’t want that if the yotes come back.

Salt Lake City sidewinders is the coolest name I saw.

That’s just a random logo.

Utah sidewinders isn’t as cool.

The colours would be like the Utah NBA alternates u saw.

I’m thinking it will be yeti or swarm

Swarm could go wuth the jazz colors

 

[Brown Dog]

Not a fan of names not ending in S (Wild, Lightning, etc.). I don't mind the Kraken so much because my thinking is that's the plural form.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Ander5en lol.

Isles tie it

 

[TheBeastCoast]

f*** Freddie Andersen. Love seeing him come up small this time of year.

 

[TMLegend]

Ander5en lol.

Isles tie it

Wasn't even a weak goal lol. Varlys was far worse.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Wasn't even a weak goal lol. Varlys was far worse.

Yeah that kuznetsov goal was soft as hell. I’m surprised; Varlamov is in? What happened to Sorokin?

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Isles are playing a solid road game

Canes are passing up some good looks. They just need to shoot more

 

[TMLegend]

Terrible performance by Carolina so far. 10 shots through 2 is pretty embarrassing.

 

[stickty111]

After the fast start by the Canes, Isles have played a near perfect game since.
