Around the NHL - Part XLII - (2023-24 Season edition)

Flyers

Caps and Flyers will be very interesting. Could see a goalie pulled in a tied game towards the end of the 3rd period. Flyers need the RW just to survive.

Caps win they are in, and the Rangers play the Caps, obviously.

Flyers sure went bad . The trades and the Captain sitting by Torts hurt short term . On the flip side...we never had to listen to Jones all year in the non MSG games....but then again we had PK .

Some Alumni news....Dugay and a couple of other Rangers- Deblois- playing a tour in Alaska and the Yukon this week . A friend of mine , Liam Maguire is with the team as an ambassador / MC type . He is quite the hockey guy ! If you ever get a chance to hear him talk hockey...DO IT !!!! You will walk away after saying WOW !!! ,Liam has been giving daily reports on Facebook . He said it was quite a thrill to ride in from airport with Ron and Sarah Palin ,his girlfriend, and to have drinks and stuff at the Palins .

i'd love to party with the Palins tbh

I should also add Liam Maguire is a HUGE fan of the Rempe hype across the league . He thinks it is great ...he figured the buzz and chatter are great for hockey . I tend to agree with him....hockey is best played with emotion and certainly much more enjoyable for the fans .

P.K. Suban loves the Rangers?:

Who's the guy with the mullet?

Yes I’d much rather play Detroit. A because they’re weaker defensively and b) when was the last time we played them, the Truman administration?

Yup. Since 1950.

NHL: Record 22.5M fans went to games in '23-24

The NHL said the new attendance mark of 22,560,634 was set with 18 games remaining in the regular season. Buildings so far have been filled 97% to capacity.

www.espn.com

Most of that missing 3% is probably coming out of San Jose.

I'm not upset by the top 3-4. Fox belongs above or equal to Dobson, Bouchard. Being below Doughty and, Heiskanen is laughable. Morrissey got disrespected too.

He’s one of Marinaro’s cronies.

Dobson, Doughty, Hieskanen, Hedman, and Bouchard are disgraceful to be ranked above Fox.

Fox should be over Makar too tbh but hes got a lot of points. Hughes will win either way but some of these names are a joke. I guess these are the same blockheads who think Trouba is the Rangers #1 D

Caps or Wings? Who cares. Just not the Pens

this. Sid scares the shit out of me.

this. Sid scares the shit out of me.

i don't want to deal with Sid-influenced refs again.

Just give me the Caps or, ideally, the Red Wings. Wings can score, sure, but we beat them in high end talent and they are not good defensively, in goal, and they are soft. Definitely the easiest first round matchup we can get.

Sid is always scary. But we have Louis Domingue now so they don't stand a chance against us now.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Caps are kind of the reverse Penguins.

Pens should have finished 3rd in the metro but are likely to miss out entirely.

Caps should probably be below the Devils but are likely to get in.

Give me Detroit. They suck but Washington isn’t a bad draw either.

I just hope for an entertaining playoffs.

The first round sets the bar high usually and then it just turns meh

I think the matchups are good.

I just want a competitive Conference Finals and Stanley Cup

I'd would love to see Leafs-Bruins and Panthers-Lightning. Probably won't happen though.
