Around the NHL - Part II

[Tob]

FLA picks up 2, PIT picks up 2, LAK picks up 1, DET/NYI in SO. Hopefully we get slammed by the Knights tomorrow.

Flyers losing to the Nucks in the last game of their road trip. Wouldn't be surprised to see Hakstol get canned tomorrow.

Speaking of Edmonton, Alex Chiasson has 14 goals in 27 games played. He's already beaten his career high of 13 goals in 79 games back with Dallas. He's shooting an unsustainable 30.4% right now!

Mario Lemieux shot 19% in 915 games.

I just think that's insane.

Alex Tanguay being a career 18.6% shooter still blows my mind

I was not aware of that!

I guess the guy had some wrister.

Dude barely shot the puck over a 15+ year NHL career and still almost potted 300 goals. He’s AV’s wet dream of a player

Dude looks like a meerkat on the bench.

LMAO the Kings' PP is 2.6% on the road

 

[Rangers ftw]

That is one terrible call, 2 min for embellishment and no goal.

It's definitely embellishment. He falls.afted the stick is let go of...there's nothing that should make him flop like that..if he was still holding the stick....sure.

Not shocking, Flyers see that this is make or break for their season

I suspected that they’d go on a run and pass us eventually.

Now I’m sure of it.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

The Blues are f***ing garbage

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Yes they are.

Calgary is also really good.

 

[DutchShamrock]

That explains the delay in firing hakstol relative to hextall. They probably called Q weekly, asking if he was ready yet.

Crawford incoming to Philly? 31 thoughts was just saying his timeline marries nicely to the coming of the all great and powerful Carter Hart.

They are going to blow out their prospect pool making a premature run. I was resigned to philly winning a cup when they hired hextall. Now I can rest easy again.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I don’t trust Smith , one of the most hot and cold goalies out there. But can that team ever score goals. Super jealous.

Yeah some of the geniuses on this board* thought that Carolina took them to the cleaners in that off season trade. Elias Lindholm only needed to get out of Calgary to figure it out.

*I was one of those geniuses.

Yeah I don't see how Smith can take them far. Boy Hank would look good with that offense tho
Too bad they couldn't play well last year when they gifted the Islanders Dobson

If Fox turns out to be a top pairing or very very good top 4 guy/Strong pp guy then both teams did well for sure. At only 24 years old and over a ppg pace Lindholm is looking like the steal of the trade.

They don't need to.

Rittich is top 3 in the NHL in GSAA.

Ryan O'Reily seems to have a negative impact everywhere he goes whether intentional or not.

Ryan O'Reily seems to have a negative impact everywhere he goes whether intentional or not.

To be fair, the Avs and Sabres when he was there were the worst team in the NHL at the time, and he was traded as part of massive overhauls.

Now he finds himself on another rebuilding team.

I was killing Carolina at the time the deal was made. They gave up a top 6 forward that was a former top pick and a young, top 4 stud two way defenseman for the next 10 years that was also a top pick for a defenseman similar to what they already had in Faulk, a bottom six forward, and a prospect that probably won't sign for them.

Calgary killed that trade.

 

[Machinehead]

Now apparently Philly didn't fire him. Can't be confirmed.
