GDT: Around the League: Playoff Edition Part VII

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Wonder what's going on. I highly doubt the Jets make the playoffs if he doesn't play.

They lose Trouba, Chariot, Myers and now possibly Buff off their top 6 in 1 summer. Ouch.

Perhaps one or two of Honka, Faulk or Ristolainen winds up in Buffalo.

Guy has been banged up the past couple years, so it does make some sense. I have to wonder even if he decides to play is he in any shape to actually play?

 

[snipes]

Laine is a loser

Or Russell...

Or Russell...

Russell for Lowry make it happen.

Or Russell...

They need right shot D men but yeah maybe as he’s played the right side the last 3 years here. We’d need to take the same money back so maybe Perrault would be coming our way.

Wpg is dying for right shot D men though so I can’t see it.

If you guys haven't seen that Rubi guy having a meltdown in the Gaudreau thread on the main boards, I would highly recommend:

Gaudreau thinks that finishing his career as a Flame would be "awesome".

Hi

 

[Mav3rick07]

Quinn Hughes is so freaking tiny can someone explain to me how he was drafted before Bouchard ?

 

[JordanGalhanth]

Aaaaaaand, make that a THIRD Finn entering into the contract holdout drama:

Avs RFA Rantanen to join Laine at SC Bern:

That’s what happens when your role model is a Columbian drug lord.

Penaldy kill? No ****en way. Say hello to my liddle fren....

Mind you Scarface was Puerto Rican I think.

I thought he was Cuban?

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

I thought he was Cuban?

Could be! Not sure?!

Not a surprise, some of their fans still think that Lucic just wasn’t given enough of a chance with our skilled players.

I kind of dont blame Rantanen compared to JP and Laine though.
IIRC, Sakic is playing the 'no more than [or not much more] than Mackinnon' card and Rantanen isn't buying it given that was signed way back
Both JP and Laine are very incomplete players [even moreso with the former] and are whining where they should be slotted.

Just curious how Neal has looked so far for you guys (haven’t paid attention to date).

Lucic wasn’t actually bad this game. I mean I don’t think he should be a specialty teams guy or anything, but he did create plays here and there.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Sabourin should have jammed his stick in Nostrils nuts right there and then.

Good so far. Potted a goal vs Wpg and seems to be developing some early chemistry with Nugent-Hopkins. Didn’t play vs Vancouver.

Lucic will be good for 2/3 good plays a game, 4/5 unforced giveaways per game and 6/7 boneheaded plays per game. When Doughty elbows Gaudreau in the chops and laughs, Lucic will just give Drew a wink and a nod.

 

[GodPucker]

Lucic looked fast tonight, but I also remember how fast he looked in pre-season last year. One play I remember was him bursting by a Canuck at the offensive blueline.

Lucic did look different though. Looks skinnier.

 

[Paralyzer]

Sens made an excellent deal with Chabot. With the way he scored last year, he's worth the money and 8 years. Good for them.

 

[Beerfish]

Chabots pretty good but he is no Griffin Reinhart.

Wow great work

The Devils are going to be fun to watch this year. Hughes looks absolutely electric with his speed, vision, playmaking and hands, and then they have Hall, Subban and Hischier too along good complementary guys like Palmieri, Coleman, Simmonds etc. I think they could have a real hot start to the season.

Honestly a lot of exciting teams this year. So much unreal talent have come into the league these past couple of years. It's amazing to see.

 

[mcdraividmoto]

Wasn't technically the first shot but Talbot allowed a goal on the rebound of the first shot of the game LOL
