Around the League - Pre-season 2015 Edition

[me2]

Blues are playing with way more hustle/urgency.

Is Yak just not good or has he been mishandled?

Just not good by #1 standards. It happens. Also mismanaged.

 

[WTG]

So far McDavid and Eichel have looked unimpressive.

It's only been a little bit but I'd think they'd have more jump to their game.

Mcdavid has had like 2 shifts.

 

[WTG]

Mcdavid has had like 2 shifts.

Yeah I'm mostly talking about Eichel

Haven't noticed him at all.

i'm blacked out on that game

 

[WTG]

i'm blacked out on that game

Meh the game is pretty boring.

 

[Balls Mahoney]

Seriously how can a 18-year old kid handle all this pressure unless he's a high level functioning sociopath?

 

[Ainec]

thats why u draft 22 yr olds like Barkov

 

[Balls Mahoney]

Yakupov was pretty good that rookie season in the lockout shortened 13'. They are a joke, poor RNH McDavid etc. look like they know they're doomed.

Yeah, I hate that organization with a fiery passion. Yakupov has a great personality and he's a good team. He should have been an eternal 30/40 goal scorer and looked very good coming in the league. But Oilers gonna Oil, so now he's a confused 3rd liner.

The grossest thing was the prejudice that organization showed against Russians. Why the hell did you draft a Russian 1st overall if you don't like Russians?

 

[GetFocht]

McD's first point.

Nope.

 

[Ainec]

would've been the greatest first goal for McDavid

damn nuge

 

[a Fool]

Saw that Brown got nothing for his headbutt/hit. NHL continues to be a joke as usual. I hope they get lawsuits rammed up their ass from all these incidents that they try to sweep under the rug. Throw the book at Torres to pretend like they actually care about player safety then don't do anything on worse plays. **** off.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

One thing I notice so far,McJesus is too fast. If he doesn't slow down some times, I'm expecting a tons of offside whistles.

 

[Balls Mahoney]

Mark Messier sure seems to have a lot of free time.

 

[WTG]

No kidding.

I honestly hope that the Oilers turn it around I'd love for the canadian teams to dominate the pacific. Would make the playoffs so fun.

 

[Hyzer]

im watching the edmonton game right now. wow. this intermission has been literally 20 minutes of ONLY mcdavid commercials.

im not even joking. LITERALLY only things involved with mcdavid. mcdavid commercials, messier and mcdavid commercials, analysts talking about mcdavid, interview with mcdavids dad.

what the flying ****. talk about pressure jesus

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

I hope we can some how get Yakupov or Draisitle for a cheap price.

Let them talk about McDavid.

McDavid will be the poster boy of the NHL in a few years. Will only grow the game

 

[WTG]

I hope we can some how get Yakupov or Draisitle for a cheap price.

I would love to get Yakupov

Seems like a great guy.

 

[Hyzer]

It's getting disgusting. Let the kid play for **** sake.

seriously i swear to god the word "mcdavid" has been uttered literally 200 times in the 20 minutes i was watching. this kind of pressure is going to absolutely break the kid.

 

[PG Canuck]

I hope we can some how get Yakupov or Draisitle for a cheap price.

Good luck.

 

[WTG]

There we go Eichel.

Kid can shoot holy ****.

 

[Hyzer]

eichel scored.. how was it? this edm game is boring as ****

 

[Balls Mahoney]

seriously i swear to god the word "mcdavid" has been uttered literally 200 times in the 20 minutes i was watching. this kind of pressure is going to absolutely break the kid.

He's already starting to get that same 1,000 yard stare Yakupov got around year two. The fact that he seems petrified to shoot the puck is telling.

I think Hall has to be cancer to a locker room. He doesn't seem to jive with McDavid at all and he keeps stealing the play.
