OT: Around the NHL - Keep on truckin'

[HuskerTornado]

Imagine the 2016 Cup winning Pens in that Canadian division. Sid, Geno, Phil, and Letang would each already have eleventybillion points.

You can't take anything that happens in that division seriously.

This is what, the 7th game Edmonton has played against Ottawa?

6th game
6-0-0
Oilers outscored them 28-13
Draisaitl 15 points / McDavid 13 points
MM 76/88 = .863

Still 3 more games of misery

This is what I feared would happen when they announced the divisions.

Hornqvist would have shattered his career high by now.

How did they leave Murray in that entire game? I mean come on.. Definitely not helping his confidence there. If he even has any confidence left..

What a fall from grace--I feel bad for him.. and for me.. I have 2 signed SCF pucks signed from Murray from his back to back wins as a rookie.. they're probably worthless now

In my humble opinion, the Sens weren't realistic when they traded for him. They weren't getting Martin Brodeur, and they're not even close to being the New Jersey Devils. Now, he is having a terrible season. There's no sugar coating his play. However, he's playing behind a really bad team. So he could be having an 'OK' season (say a .910 sv%), and he'd still be fishing pucks out of his net. Any goalie would be hard pressed to get the job done when the likes of Zaitsev, Gudbranson, and Coburn are defending the crease.

The Oilers make more sense for a goalie like Murray, but... apparently everyone except Jujhar Khaira and Adam Larsson are off the table.

[AlphaMikeFoxtrots]

Look at you go, Wangs.

Stars...are y'all okay?

 

[Gurglesons]

Kane is about to win the Hart eh?

 

[Andy99]

Kane is about to win the Hart eh?

if the Hawks get in the POs, he’ll be up there for sure, along with McDavid/Drai and Matthews...

 

[BHD]

It's either him or Kevin Lankinen, if he keeps it up.

LOFL okaaaay, I mean....wow

 

[Gurglesons]

That Matthews OT goal was RIDICULOUS.

I can not wait to see him wear the red white and blue.

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

That Matthews OT goal was RIDICULOUS.

Those aren't Yotes colors

 

[Zirakzigil]

Right? I mean why would you wish for him to be on the Capitals?

Did you see the slash on Reilly right before that?

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Man what the f*** are the Jackets waiting to fire Tortorella lol
Bye Bye Patrick Laine!!

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Lol @ the Binnington extension

Seriously, has disaster written all over in the long run!!

 

[BHD]

Man what the f*** are the Jackets waiting to fire Tortorella lol

They're not making the playoffs (7 points back of the Hawks with the same number of games played) and his contract is done after the season.

Oh I agree with you completely, they`re definitely not making it also with Dallas a couple of pts behind with 6 games in hand on them.
But if they want to even remotely try and keep Laine long term, they need to fire that clown of a coach.

 

[BHD]

Seriously, has disaster written all over in the long run!!

He's been up and down since winning the Cup. Even during that run, he had some bad games. However, his side knew the situation heading into talks. He would have been a UFA after the season, and the Blues don't a goalie ready to succeed him. So, you can see how he got that contract.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

I sincerely don't know how you give Binnington that contract with Murray doing what he's doing on a catastrophic contract worth the same amount for 2 fewer years...with more success, talent, potential, and results.

I mean...even if Murray were playing out of his mind and making Ottawa somewhat competitive I still wouldn't get it because Jordan Binnington hasn't shown a sustained high level of play since the Cup. His numbers post-Cup are nothing more than fine. He's certainly capable of winning a game on any given night, but so is nearly every goalie good enough to play in the NHL in 2021.

Binnington's stats are barely better than Jarry's right now and we all know how miserable Jarry was at the start of the season.

 

[BHD]

He's certainly capable of winning a game on any given night, but so is nearly every goalie good enough to play in the NHL in 2021.

I suspect they were afraid of seeing Binnington find his game on another team while their goaltenders falter. That would be a bad look.
