Around the NHL: Part XVII - Season’s Greetings

[Cane mutiny]

What was that in Carolina after the game? Why don't they all just do the Ickey shuffle? LOL

They're thanking the gods for their win.

 

[Avery16]

Post-Names Rangers are 0-1, while...

 

[YoSoyLalo]

The Devils need a come to Jesus moment right uh now or they’re gonna lose this game like 9-1

 

[YoSoyLalo]

8 points in 5 games so far. And his game is so well rounded. Love the kid. He was #2 overall last year and had 20g 37pts. Which a lot of people seem to feel would be disappointing for Kakko, but Svech is obviously going to be a beast. I’d kill to draft a kid whose going to shoot the puck like Svechnikov.

He got underrated because Dahlin stole his spotlight (and uh yea Dahlin is nuts).

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Subban looks very very bad in his own zone

 

[aufheben]

Nice, Dallas-Washington coming on. Heiskanen is like my favorite player to watch.

I’ll say this: Svechnikov’s performance makes me feel so vindicated for all the arguments I got in when people thought Zadina was better toward the end of their draft season

How many NHL players are more underrated than Torey Krug?

I feel like he got his big PR tour this summer

Devils player literally takes out the back of a players leg.

Daneyko: "Not sure where the trip is there"

He's going to get a nice deal this summer, probably not from the Bruins, unless they shed some salary elsewhere.

Idk what this is in reference to.

I just feel like I noticed a lot more talk about how good Krug is after his play in the playoffs (deservedly so). Even during the playoffs when people wanted to push the “big teams are back” narrative going into the finals, the counter point was always “but Krug and Schwartz are the ones playing the best on either team”

 

[darko]

Really? I was thinking more like 76-4 as they lose their only 4 games to us...lol

What happened in the other 2 games?

I wouldn't really know, I'm only referring to HFBoards. I always assume if anything interesting happens I'll just read about it on HF.

I listen to a buuuunch of hockey podcasts while I’m at work, Friedman and Marek couldn’t love Krug enough in the playoffs and over the summer, but then again, they can’t love any player enough

I hope the Devils re-sign Hall to a megadeal.

 

[Cassano]

I hope the Devils re-sign Hall to a megadeal.

their coach will be fired by next week

 

[egelband]

Nice for Namestnikov!

 

[Maximus]

What happened in the other 2 games?

Ahhh...they play each other 6 times...eh? OK, so your still wrong...no 82-0 crap...you'll have to settle for 75-6

 

[Maximus]

I dunno man....Hughes needs to hit the gym and start lifting more than them 5 pound dumb bells. I know there are quite a few small players in the league but Hughes looks smaller than them. I'd bet that over the next offseason, he'll put on 10-15 pounds of muscle. If not, I'm not sure he's going to be as good as his #1 overall status says he is supposed to be.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Lol Devils shut out again

 

[aufheben]

Why are the Panthers just never good lol

 

[aufheben]

Lol Devils shut out again

Team's got red flags on both sides of the puck.

Insane is that Bob contract. Buying extremely high on goalies that have the highest of highs and the lowest of lows when the goalie is already passed his prime.
