Around the League v2: Everyone Is Getting Fired!

And it shows. They arent very good.

Yep. The problems start with the owner. He jettisons the good players when they need to get paid. Most owners would have told their GM to sign a vet defender to stabilize their defense until their kids mature and grow into their roles. Not Ottawa.

Having a team with deep pockets is a huge advantage. I'm always a little surprised how much we moan about stuff and how much we overlook this. We are very fortunate.

I know no one watches Dallas and like, it's Dallas so fair enough. But Heiskanen is going to be a star.

I watch them from time to time. I keep thinking the Stars will be in the thick of things given how many good forwards they have. Doesn't seem to happen for whatever reasons.

Calgary has a good team this year. They could make some noise.

Not much forward depth for the Stars though. Benn, Seguin, Radulov... then the dried up husk of Spezza and a bunch of 4th liners.

Yep. However, they can probably get by with an elite 5 man unit and solid goaltending. The West has some pretty bad bubble teams, so I'll place money on Dallas grabbing one of the two wild card spots.

Speaking of poor depth, what the hell happened to Nichushkin? I know he has been snakebitten (couldn't buy a goal vs MTL), but he just doesn't have that flash or explosiveness in the games I have watched. Seems like the two years in the K ruined his development

you can't get much classier than that, it's why Sid's a superstar on and off the ice.

Looks like Boston, Buffalo, and Montreal will win tonight.

We need Andersen back ASAP. But i guess the silver lining is the fact that he will be better rested for the playoffs

The Atlantic division is going to be a fun division in the last half. Add the Isles to the mix and it should be good. I have no idea how it’ll play out. Just hope the Leafs can secure a post season berth.

Yes it is. You know Beoser and Pettersson will each score, no need to have another fired up player with chip on his shoulder.

Pettersson left the game tonight with a lower-body injury, he got tangled up with the Habs rookie star

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Lol 5 minutes into the game and Tampa gets a 4 minute 5v3, and score twice so far

Oh, I missed that.

I watched for a few mins toward the end and I thought I saw him....

That’s too bad. He’s fun to watch.

I have watched a bunch of Canucks games, he is a beauty, Virtanen looks like he is starting to play well.

That kid for Montreal would have gotten his teethe knocked out I was Canucks coach.That was bush league and not even a penalty tells you how bad NHL officials are. .I would of sent someone to even that score

If you see it from another angle, the canuck player stops and throws the hit, there was no penalty called on the play
