Around the NHL - Episode XLVI

[Icelevel]

An I mistaken or was K'Andre Miller taken with our pick?

Yeah was worried about that. I was hoping we’d take Miller.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Miller's physical tools are Brent Burns-level. Huge, fantastic skater, heavy shot, good hands.

I'm definitely not sold on his hockey IQ, having seen some of the terrible mistakes he's made at lower levels, but he's very raw having not played D for many years (was a forward for most of his minor hockey career).

Smart high-upside pick by the Rangers in the late 1st.

Im glad its not health related. Strange none the less tho

His progression has impressed the hell out of me. I for sure thought he would need a year or 2 in the AHL.

Kid definitely looks good out there

Obviously it was you either resign or we will fire you. He has screwed the Pens for a good five years with his decisions.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

I'm convinced that aliens kidnapped the real Rutherford and replaced him with a doppelganger after the Pens 2017 cup win.

Before that he made a lot of smart moves(Kessel, Bonino,Shultz trades) that helped the Pens win back-to-back cups but after that he made a lot of questionable decisions.

 

[bicboi64]

argh, Rutherford retiring means a competent GM might come to Pittsburgh and they won't be getting fleeced! Crosby and Malkin might carry the Pens to one more cup during their reign

 

[BondraTime]

Islanders have a very impressive team at every position

Montreal look scary good

Everything is going in for the now. We’ll see if they fizzle out or not later in the season.

pretty deep team. Good D. Good Goal tending .. Price and Allen
Not relying on one line to score.. good mix of player types

 

[JungleBeat]

Duclair looks good in Florida. He’s look good in our lineup...

Habs big guys can play hockey while ours practice fighting during morning skates. Unbelievable.

They are a good team no doubt

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

nice

If the rangers still had Anisimov no way we see Lafreniere out there

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

and .... not so nice

 

[BondraTime]

That Texier goal may be the cleanest shootout move I’ve seen in years

It has to do with a serious investigation within the Pens organization.

I'll just leave it at that.

Oof. Hope its not related to that lawsuit from the ex wilkes barre coach...

So.. I'm trying to cheer for Edmonton right (and ottawa, but I live in edmonton now)

They just picked up Turris so I was excited to have my boy back. But the team sticks him at 3C and gives him no support just plays with a bunch of scrubs.

Im trying to convince people over on the edmonton board that Turris needs to play with skilled players, that he was peaking when we traded him from Ottawa and had 9 points in 11 games playing with Stone, Hoffman and Karlsson. ETC.,

I think he would thrive up there in Edmonton's top6 playing on the wing with one of Mcdavid or Draisaitl.

Edmonton fans are ready to send Turris packing already like they did with Strome (whoooooops)

Did something happen to Turris that I dont know about? Or do you guys agree with me and think if he was given the proper oppurtunity in the top6 and PP that he could re-ignite that fire he had while he was here?

He’s sucked for better part of the past 3 years, that’s nothing new.

I've been watching a lot of Columbus this year and they have a nice hockey team there. Foudy, Robinson, and Texier are fun to watch and Laine will thrive in that division.

He has a lot of miles on him for a guy who's always had a very slight frame. One thing i loved bout him was the fact he didn't shy away despite being a smaller dude (not talking height)

I think he's just on a quick decline tbh. Id love to see him have a bounce back, but it's unlikely imo
