OT: Around the NHL - Keep on truckin'

[The Old Master]

Yeah, that’s why I’d try to move him in season.

and it means we will not need to protect him.

 

[dogthateats]

The sun and shadows seem like less than ideal playing conditions, but the view is pretty cool. I missed the first Lake Tahoe game.

 

[Andy99]

Marchand and Pasta perfectly execute a 2 on 1 and finish....meanwhile, the Pens attempt one and either the puck hits a skate and it’s a 3 on 1 the other way, or it’s a chest snipe easily stopped by the goalie...

 

[dogthateats]

Weird goal for Farabee there

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

A very fortuitous bounce..

 

[BHD]

It has been sad to see him decline. I firmly believe he would be fine as a 4th liner if he wasn't being paid so damn much.

Agreed. He was my favourite Islander during those early post lockout years. It's unfortunate that his career became the classic case of a respectable player being unable to live up to an outrageous contract.

 

[Andy99]

Man, Marchand is so good...you forget until you watch him again

 

[BHD]

I'm not watching the game, but I'm scrolling through Twitter... So Edzo suggested Marc Staal as a player the Bruins could add at the deadline? The Pens are sooooo lucky to not have him as a GM. lol

 

[dogthateats]

That was a snipe by Pastrnak

 

[Gurglesons]

Hart reminds me so much of Murray.

 

[ChaosAgent]

If Jarry gave up those last couple goals y'all would act like he scuttled the Cup for us.

 

[Gurglesons]

And looking more and more like Murray

 

[Gurglesons]

Hart has been horrible this year.

 

[DRAGO 18]

Too bad we played the Flyers at the beginning of the year they look like rotten shit now

 

[dogthateats]

Lolll

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Hart has been horrible this year.

Maybe people will stop randomly penciling him in as starter for Team Canada next year.

 

[Gurglesons]

I mean, Canada’s goalie situation is horrible.

 

[Bingo71]

Boston, Washington and Philly will run away with the division. 4th and final spot is up for grabs...

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

Flyers will never have a good goalie. There is an order to this world

 

[BHD]

That's an accurate assessment of a team after the first year of Alain Vigneault's system, especially when the goalie falters. He's just happened to have not one, but two HoF goalies to rely on for most of his career - a major reason why he is up there in wins.

I mean, Canada’s goalie situation is horrible.

It really is. Price, Binnington, and Hart? Yay???

Speaking of international hockey, I totally blanked on some guys being American.

Quinn Hughes, Boeser, Krug, Seth Jones, Anders Lee, Larkin, Petry.

And obviously the high end talent in Matthews, Eichel and Gaudrau. Stud goalie in Gibson. And some vets still playing legit hockey in Wheeler, Kane, Patches and Pavelski.

They can build a really really good team.

I think top 4 in the division will be Bruins, Flyers, Isles, Caps.

Don't forget Hellebuyck as a 1A/1B with Gibson.

I also had no idea Boeser and Krug were American. "Torey Krug" is an extremely Canadian name.

I feel like an idiot. Spend way too many hours watching hockey and not know nationalities lol.

Why? We’ve been shit and beat the Caps and Isles 3-1 both.
