Around the League vol 4 - Own Goals Count Too!

[as Pure as Evil]

the troubling part of the penguins season this year is the last time it happened was after the leafs traded kessel to them. they were looking like they might miss the playoffs up to febuary and in turn it was looking like we were not going to get that draft pick then they went full doomsday mode and pretty much went through the gauntlet skipping and giggling like it wasn't anything but a sunny day at the park

I wouldn’t be too upset if the Pens made it too the Cup final again this year; of course losing to either Nashville or Vegas....

Tanev out for the season. Thank Dubas we didnt acqiure him

He just can't stay healthy.

Hes the modern day Lupul

However, we still have some Leaf fans suggesting that Dubas should have acquired him. It keeps coming up despite how many of us have suggested repeatedly that having a chronically injured player will not be helpful long term. Unbelievable!

I was more so just talking about the general sentiment on these boards. I'd personally think most Leaf fans are who are annoyed about anything are annoyed about the coaching and team effort of the Leafs. Very little to do with NYI. Props to them for keeping pace all season long in the metro.

You can’t really base anything of the main boards here. It’s basically just troll forum. You have to treat it for what it is; a dogs breakfast. I read it just to laugh at people. The team forums are much better for hockey chat.

Side note: a lot of NYI fans do have some serious issues.

Yes they do and now they just lost to the lowly Wings while they are fighting for first and the Wings are fighting for Hughes. I Love it.

Well, one way or the other, the Islanders could have used Tavares against the Wings.

They needed him on their team to help them score more than 1 goal, or, they needed him on the Wings to motivate them to score more than 1 goal!

Let’s go CBJ Chicago and Carolina.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I don't even care if Boston wins at this point lol

 

[Nineteen67]

Good job by CBJ Canes and Chicago. I’m hoping the Habs are about done

 

[taurine330]

What did they say the benefit of this current format would be when they changed it? I just don't see any benefits from this. Does it make ratings for the earlier playoff rounds higher because they are always gonna be high in the later rounds?

I think you answered your own question.

 

[Nineteen67]

I think you answered your own question.

Late rounds don’t get great ratings unless there is a big market or a great storyline.
This year the best chance for the highest ratings would be Vegas and (yuck) Boston.
This is why the NHL needs Detroit, NYR, Chicago to get better.

habs are pretty much done unless they win at least 7 of their last 10

 

[RomanianLeafs]

Oilers are done once again.. Horrible team their superstar Leon D with a minus 3 tonite..poor Mc David

 

[Nineteen67]

I’d prefer to see them 5 points down.

 

[Nineteen67]

Let’s see if we can get Arizona into the playoffs.

 

[Nineteen67]

Malkin out week to week....

So, Babcock, you didn't like, and, didn't want Josh Leivo as a regular NHL player.

Who knew he could even be effective in the shootout? His shootout goal gave the Canucks a 3-2 victory over the Dallas Stars.

Another case of a player labeled useless in Toronto, becomes useful elsewhere.

*Labeled useless by Babcock. Fans were screaming for the guy to get more playing time, but I guess he rubbed Babs the wrong way. So much so that he was irredeemable to our superstar coach so our loss is Vancouver’s gain.

Yes, I stand corrected, Babcock was the culprit that saw him disposed of like a used diaper!

You're hanging your hat on him being useful because he's 1/2 in the shootouts this year?

No, of course not, however, he was a more useful player than Babcock allowed him to be here as a Leaf.

He’s got a great shot.
