Around the NHL 13/14 Part III

[Super Cake]

The islanders are as worse as the sens. They take the lead with a couple of minutes to go in the third period, but they allow the caps to tie it up withing 30 seconds left when the caps were on the pk. Then ovi wins it in overtime.

I would like the scoreboard to fall at the opening faceoff. The resulting explosion vapourizes both benches, no fans are hurt. Both teams fold.

The Senators fall ass first into a wildcard spot.

That woulda been perfect.

Have I mentioned how much I hate the way the Calgary Flames run their team?

hm? Just woke up....what are they doing now? They better not be messing up Monahan (although last i heard his foot was broken...actually played virtually a whole game on a fractured foot - warrior!).

Baertschi is a healthy scratch again. They are playing Blair ****ing Jones and Paul Byron over him. One of their top offensive players gets injured, so instead of relying on a good offensive player like Baertschi they double down on suck.

Ah. Jones is a center, iirc? Maybe they're worried about faceoffs with Monahan out. LA has a ton of talent, they can make you pay dearly for a lost faceoff in your zone.

Their second, third and fourth line left wingers as per their pre-game lineup are Lance Bouma, Blair Jones and Paul Byron.

That's....erm....is there a nice word for "weak"?

Very noticeable trend forming in the league lately. Only a couple teams out there with nice depth and about 25 teams with a lot of 'wth are they thinking' in the bottom 6.

Sven hasn't been good

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

lol...that's why we need to get rid of the trapezoid and let goalies roam. Pure hilarity.

 

[SENSational Sens Fan]

Lmao Scrivens on the Flames goal.

Well... Byron just set up Jones for a goal

where?

 

[LynxBud]

where?

I saw the Ottawa Sun mention it in an article about Alfredsson today. Didn't really go into details.

So maybe Murray has leaked this information to try to get a better contract from Melnyk.

Or maybe Tim is not anxious to be working for a strict budget team that is perennially rebuilding with young players and can't bring in free agents.

The owner in Buffalo can be a free spender.

 

[Qward]

Wonder if Tim took over in Buffalo if he and Bryan would make a deal for Moulson for a couple prospects.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

yuck.....this Canucks pregame show on Sportsnet reeks. I can't believe hockey fans will be stuck with such horrible announcers/panels next season. What the heck was the NHL thinking with that stupid tv deal? Brutal.

 

[Benjamin]

I wouldn't blame Tim for leaving. The current situation for the Sens cant be fun for a GM.

Is it just me, or can anyone else see the similarities between the islanders and the senators?

Both are having major defensive problems right now
Both have coaches who are making questionable decisions.

Both traded away 1st round picks to acquire star forwards
Edit- At least the Isles have the option of switching it to next year's pick. Although, if we had that option I wouldn't take it since McDavid is available next year.

 

[Qward]

Both have an eccentric owner that enforces a strict internal budget.
Both have to make their contracts back loaded to afford players.
