GDT: Around the League

[sinDer]

2 points for Philly and 1 for Boston. The worst possible outcome.










PANTHERS!

Doesn't change anything for us. Especially Boston getting a point.

You're commenting on people discussing scores around the league in the around the league thread.....

That’s fine. I never said don’t do it.
Just said i find it funny when every other game we play the standings will change.

How so?

Are you of the opinion that chatting about it or getting an emotional attachment to the team is folly? Beep boop beep.

 

[Drugs Delaney]

Wasn't it like a month ago where there was five or six games in play that affected the Panthers and every team Panthers wanted to win, won?

I don't know. Was it? Probably.

 

[Dread Clawz]

I don't blame them. Kassian's the one going in front of the League disciplinary body, but Tkachuk is a real piece of **** for headhunting like that.

New generation of Tkachuks, same results. Brady is the one we have to worry about in our division. He's getting cockier and cockier all the time.

Kings defenseman Alec Martinez available for trade

Opinions? Signed through next year too. What can we send their way?

2nd and Borgstrom/Hepo, or 2nd and Gildon/Koly. We'd have to move some salary off the defense though, we'd have a ton of money tied up in D. Preferably Yandle, but maybe Matheson.

I don't think Tallon will sell low on Borgstrom though. I think he hopes that he'll eventually figure it out in the A, and maybe in a year or sooner he'll be called up. I think Borgstrom has to get stronger and faster though. He likes to play a finesse game but he's got to be a bit more versatile in order to succeed in the pros. It's interesting that a Finn would be so averse to physical play.

And he plays hard all the time! I watched Pretty closely last year being in Ottawa, and the guy is a player. I would love to have him on the Panthers!

THG had a good video up the other day about parity in the league right now. So many teams are within a single point or two with each other that one hot/cold streak can make or break you now.

Plus since so many teams are still "in it", you went have many sellers

That's why I was wondering, would New Jersey have been better off to sell Taylor Hall at the trade deadline?

He's definitely a player, but he's a dirty prick like all Tkachuks. I know he's gonna try something slick with Barky or Huby sooner or later.

How so?

Simple math.

It will take 95-97 pts to make the playoffs. So we need a 98 pts season the secure our playoffs spot.

Carolina and Philly are WC1 and WC2 right now. They could lose their next 10 games, but the magic number will still be 98. Same thing if they both win their next 10.

Boston is completely useless (also if CBJ wins today they're 12-2-4 over their last 18 games with half their roster out, insane run)

Columbus is making the playoffs. I wouldn't be surprised if they and the Canes pass the Isles soon. The Isles are freefalling. Minus tonight's game because playing Detroit doesn't count. Playing that grinding style Trotz plays isn't sustainable. When you take that away they are a below average team in terms of talent. They've lost some key guys who helped them grind out a lot of victories.

CBJ faces the Canes Thursday so one of them will get a loss. As long as Florida gets around 98 points they'll be ok.

Yup, the Metro is gonna beat up on eachother a lot down the stretch. That's one advantage Florida has.

Just watching that LA Kings Tampa game::

Quick just let of bomb by kucherov, top circles, High blocker top corner. Amazing shot. No way Bob or Big D makes that save either.

With 14 seconds left though, Quick saved Hedman Point Blank High blocker.

That kuch shot was insane. The puck was rolling too...

An extreme believer in controlling your own fate eh? But what if a meteor crashes into earth killing half of all life while riding on a train travelling 200 mph? How many points will it take then?

Not sure this is a wise move by Vegas?

Uhhh.....what did Gallant do?

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

GG probably displayed him limitations as a coach, only able to use one strategy, one lineup, etc..

 

[BeezKnees]

Holy shit...
