Around the NHL #4

Ryan MacInnis with 7 NHL games for the Blue Jackets - sure it was only about a dozen shifts per game but I still did not see that coming.

 

[_Del_]

We talked about him recently. Still think he ends up an NHL player. Too many tools. He'll get chances to stick-- he just has to grab them.

Habs up 3-1 on the Knights...the Yotes dodge so many bullets. I feel they never feel a sense of urgency because they keep staying up there despite playing like poop. Bad parity is still parity I guess.

Oops 3-2, was 3-0 at one point. Jinxed it

Vegas ended up with a point (SOL). Couldn’t expect the Habs to do us any real favors since they’re a mess at the moment. Even with Kovalchuk.

What’s really whack though is as bad everyone says the Pacific is, five teams sit in playoff positions.

If Vancouver gets a point tonight we fall to WC2. The Jets have 3 games before they go to the break to pick up 3 points to catch us. The Jets play @CHI, @car, @CBJ. I think if they are all loser points the Coyotes are still in WC. If one is a regulation win and an OT/SO loss we're out of a playoff spot.

 

[CNYCrunchfan1]

Yeah its getting crazy. Hawks have been slowly climbing and so are the Preds now. If that division starts getting more in the mix...yikes.

 

[MIGs Dog]

In the West I'd only label the California teams as out of the picture.

 

[Grimes]

Carolina and Boston did their parts tonight. Losses to both Vegas and Winnipeg

I liked him in the rookie camps I saw. Big and liked to play around the net. I thought he'd get a shot here. Not sure what happened.

Some players development time is longer than the time you have him waiver exempt. You get caught with by the time he’s ready he’s already gone through 1-2 waiver drafts where all the benefits of your development system are to the benefit of another organization.

"the teen was hit so hard, he required medical attention."

The medical records and witness statements should clear things up.

CBJ hung on to defeat WPG in regulation. Whoop!

 

[rt]

We had BETTER whip those Cali teams in regulation in back-to-back games out of the break. Need to win at least those two, right in a row, right out of the break.

 

[RemoAZ]

Feels like we haven't played in a long time and there are still games going on. Is the break usually this long? 10 days seem longer than I remember. Still another week until we play. Maybe it's just that this season the team is actually more fun to watch.

 

[Mosby]

Usually the break isn't coupled with the ASG.

 

[PainForShane]

LOVE the fact that there's no ASG thread on this site (not being sarcastic, it means we're all true hockey fans . If anyone's watching rn (or skipping the game out of principle), Jarry has had a couple of really amazing saves after he was completely deked out of position during the breakaway event that's currently going on. Would encourage any fmr goalies to watch Jarry's performance on youtube after the fact (we'll see if he wins).

Just re-watched, they were saves 4 and 5 on Duclair / Huberdeau

It's not born in America, but rather born American.

To be President of the U.S. you must be a "natural born Citizen". John McCain was born in Panama, yet he was considered a natural-born citizen because mom and dad were Americans.

Even though Brett Hull was born in Canada, since he was born with U.S. citizenship he would qualify as a natural-born citizen.

First, John McCain was born on American territory in Panama and used that as a loophole. My eldest daughter was born in Mexico to American parents. She cannot become president as she was born on Mexican territory.

I believe she can be President, see Ted Cruz.

Holy shit Duclair is an All-Star? I don't follow it at all so I didn't know that. Good for him! Man I wish we could develop offensive talent...

 

[ArizonaCoyotes19]

This break is killing me, I need to watch some meaningful hockey!

 

[PainForShane]

LOL. I've been watching some Dylan Strome in Chi, he's currently IR but continuing to show good offensive awareness. Still slow but understands the game at an NHL level, 30 points in 40 games but to be fair he's spent almost all of it playing with Debrincat (they were teammates in Erie and absolutely killed it), and maybe half that time with Patrick Kane on the other wing (Kane and Toews have also been reunited at times and have been doing well when together).

I would absolutely love to have Dylan Strome as our 2C rn. Different discussion though.

Re: Duc, to be fair I think a big part of the reason he's an all-star is that he's in Ottawa... but then Brady Tkachuk just replaced Auston Matthews on the playing roster bc apparently Matthews is injured enough to miss the ASG but not an actual game? Whatever.

Point is Duclair is having a good season, haven't seen him much (it's OTT!!!) but writers are saying he's played consistently and sharpened up his defensive game. Haven't seen enough Ottawa games to confirm or deny

I've watched a lot of Chicago games since the trade as well. Shame he's hurt but a poster on their board put up a stat. He actually has more points per 60 playing away from Kane than with him. Not like we could use a scoring center... Seems the Coyotes are always going to trade players I like. Yandle, Domi, Duclair, Strome. Crouse is going to get the ax soon I'm sure.

 

[Lawson of Anarchy]

Oh good! More lamenting of Strome. Does anyone have a verbose opinion about his off-season conditioning as a Coyote? I'd like to discuss that.
