Around The League Part 10: Sleep with one eye open

[tarheelhockey]

The Oilers are one of the worst teams in the NHL without McDavid. That guy is amazing. It's hilarious that Edmonton fans acted like they wouldn't take Faulk for free. They're hard to watch the 35 minutes/game McDavid isn't on the ice.

Edit: Not "hard" in the way Teavu thinks Brind'Amour is horny

It's only a matter of time before someone targets a headshot at McDavid, and that whole franchise melts down.

Yeah women like this:

Crosby says McDavid is best player in NHL

Penguins captain: choosing Oilers center 'an easy pick'

"There are so many different guys," Crosby said. "Matthews has emerged this year and it really looks like he's taken even another step. I think there's a lot of guys in the conversation. But it's hard to argue (McDavid). He's been really consistent. He's won scoring titles, MVPs. So yeah, that's an easy one to pick."
"Obviously Auston's a great player, he's got a lot of skill and you watch him on a nightly basis, he makes a lot of really good plays," Scheifele said. "Connor McDavid has put up back-to-back 100-point seasons. He's done a lot that Matthews obviously hasn't done. Matthews is a star in this league and he's going to get better. But he's not at McDavid's level just yet."

Just think if Lucic accidentally hurts him in practice like what happened here with Faulk.

They would implode

 

[Canes]

Remember when Sabres fans thought they would be competing for the playoffs just because they drafted Dahlin, signed Hutton and acquired Skinner for cheap?

Pepperidge Farm remembers

 

[The Faulker 27]

Speaking of Dahlin, has anyone seen him play? I'm curious how he's holding up in the NHL.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Yeah women like this:

You gonna post a selfie now?

You gonna post a selfie now?

Sure, here's me:

He has been by far our best defenseman. Has lived up to the hype in my opinion.

Forget our roster, if Phail Housley coached the 1982 Islanders they would probably finish last. I can't overstate just what a total worthless clueless f*** up Housley is as a coach.

Little I've seen of him.

He's good. Damn good even.

 

[AD Skinner]

Still number one in the metro... when was the last time the canes spent a week + on top of their division? 2008?

 

[The Faulker 27]

I may have to catch their game against the Kings today. Wouldn't mind seeing Skins dipsy doodle again. For ol' times sake.

Lockout shortened season probably.

Went about 2 weeks and then in classic Canes fashion, they fall apart while Washington racked up all the wins.

jake allen sucks

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Skinner hat trick

 

[Canes]

Skinner had a hatty today apparently

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

2 wraparounds and an ENG. He also got into a wrestling match with former Staal bros. foe Phaneuf.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Good for Skinner. Seemed like he'd started slow.

IIRC, Skinner and Phaneuf are pretty good friends.

IIRC, Skinner and Phaneuf are pretty good friends.

That could explain why they had somewhat amused expressions as they were barking at each other from the penalty boxes.

Skinner's definitely the pain in the ass friend type.

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

Good for Skinner. Seemed like he'd started slow.

He was snake bitten on the score sheet but was doing everything BUT score on the offensive side. He has been our best offensive player so far this year.

I am glad we got skinner and the Canes look like the 05 06 Sabres.

He can be a frustrating player, but when he's on you'll love him. His goals normally come in bunches like you saw today. He has the ability to take over a game at any moment.
