OT: Around the NHL - Summer Edition

[Corvidae]

Cale Makar is scary good.

I don't care if they have to have oxygen on the bench--give me 10 minutes of 3-on-3 OT in the regular season. Nothing comes close in terms of excitement.

Elite Winger Who’s Stats Had Not Become Misleading is really thriving under his handler.

Stripper night at the game?

Gross.

NHL circa 2025. In an effort to reduce their emissions due to travel, teams will now play doubleheaders 41 times a year. Games will consist of 3v3 for two 20 minute periods.

Sign me up.

Looks like Calgary didn’t learn anything from last season.

 

[EightyOne]

Sign me up.

You will still travel with 18 skaters and 2 goalies.

But, in an effort to keep energy at 120%, you only dress 12 per game.

2nd game you must sit 6 who played in the first.

Goalies can only play a max of 3 of the 4 periods (unless injuries).

The VGK home jerseys are just so boring.

1st period 4v4

3rd period 2v2

S/O 1v0

He's why they dealt Barrie.

Marchand and Bergeron on the PK against the Devils. True, the Devils are bad, but this is fun to watch:

That is embarrassing.

A vindictive part of me can't help but smile when I see the Devils look like trash.

just wait until they sweep the season series against the Pens again though...

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Only in LA.

It wasn't crappy decisions or play, it was the dreaded Taylor Swift curse.

Who cursed the Steelers and Pirates?

This Flames/Sharks game is being played at a blistering pace. They are flying, both sides.

I was THIS close to Going, but I worked all last night and wanted to sleep instead.

SJS-CGY games are usually good.

I dare not go on Facebook but the NHL Twitter account tweetered Fleury’s big save tonight and people are actually throwing out GOAT.

Not people. Twitter commenters.

Brassard on pace for 16 assists. And no goals.

Devils seriously gonna get another top 3 pick? Hopefully this time if they do finish in bottom 3 they get pushed out and dont land one of Lafrienere or Byfield. Give em to Sens if they "have" to be in the East....where all the top players go these days.

really, Schneider and Bob have been horrible to start the season...backups aren’t better either...FLA and NJD going nowhere it appears..

Yeah i can see Devs getting top pick and then offering Holtby a ton of money(with their top players on ELCs)...since i can also see Taylor Hall leaving unless they tell him to wait it out....their plan to sign Holtby. But if they do land Lafrienere(LW) they may just let Hall walk. With his injury history hes not gonna take a short-term deal.

Already with Hughes and Hischier...if they get one of Lafrienere/Byfield...would be crazy. Shero could go to his 3C route with Byfield. 6'4 center whos ridiculously skilled.

And i could see Holtby being enticed to sign there. Being the one to get them back on top since Brodeur.

Idk if Caps can keep him. Would Backstrom really take a hometown discount when hes only made 6.7 a year? Some team would def give him an extra 3 a year even at that age. Still one of the best passers in the game.
