Around the NHL - The dog days of the season

[Andy99]

I look forward to the Pens coming into town on the 15th. Every Sharks game I've been to this year, SJS have won. So kinda scared to be going to the game vs PIT now lol.

I’ll be there too..I’m not good luck either for the Pens usually, although I was at Game 4 of the SCF to watch them win...

Same. I had a bit of a let's go pens chant going in my section lol

I was hoping they'd sweep it that night but the stupid game 3 loss. Ugh.

I was there as well. Pretty solid game tbh. That Fehr goal was huge.

Watching Caps/Flyers during intermission.

FLYERS. IS. BUTT. CHEZZ.

 

[Andy99]

Good news tonight in the metro as Isles and CBJ lost...unfortunately Caps didn’t though

 

[cheesedanish87]

I'd really like to see CBJ go on a bad streak because that could push them to trade Panarin and Bob.

 

[BHD]

How many more seasons of Babcock saying the Leafs lost to a "veteran team" and "need to learn how to win"? Like come on...

 

[Tender Rip]

Hmm... I'd rather CBus get in, as I cannot conceive of losing a series to them. And I dislike them enough that I'd also rather see them lose Panarin for nothing .

Babs is a goof.

Man I hope Philly doesn’t get Hughes or Kappo. They are reaaally bad.

 

[LOGiK]

Rags lost the last 3 to Sharks, Yotes, Knights, yo. At least conquer the yoties - not lose 5 balls

eh. Capitals are the main enemy until Sid and OV hang'em up. Caps owned the metro season since 2014-15. So what if the penguins beat them then, they are the enemy now and will be for some time.
Flyers regrouping is another battle to fight down the road.

If they get one of those guys and make a couple smart moves they’ll be a battle next year.

Hakstol was a joke and the entire flyers board knew this for years. Don't watch enough of them to know their gm. But last year the flyers banged the penguins up enough to hurt them for the capitals series. Cryers, Craps, Rags, Debs, are always the enemy it is just how it is.

What is a derog for cbj, I can't think of one. Carolina I dont mind much, but the isles can be that old goon squad when they wanted. Never forget that murderous hit and taunt on kid Tangradi.

Their biggest problem is usually goaltending. They usually turn them into garbage. They have 1 signed for next season a 20 year old. UFA wise there is a lot of question marks in the UFA goalie market so not sure they will fix it through UFA.

Why'd they dump bob? Why of all things to your rival?

 

[LOGiK]

San Jose killing it

 

[Turin]

So when does Craig McTavish replace Hitchcock

 

[Tom Hanks]

Apparently he wasn’t go to re sign with them.

 

[LOGiK]

Apparently he wasn’t go to re sign with them.

To your main rival though? At least of all polish stupidity, the penguins haven't recently gave their enemies more fire power. Directly.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

The Oilers have the worst depth in hockey. It's almost unreal how the offense is basically three guys (four, if you include Chiasson and his ridiculous shooting percentage).

They signed Bryzgalov to a long deal too. Bob didn’t have a great season in Philly and still had an awfully bad playoff record. I guess they took the best deal of who was interested a bunch of draft picks that amounted to nothing lol

Tough in the streets.

and they are projected to only be 50k under the cap at the end of the season.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Like, how does that happen? I know the Lucic contract is bad, but who else are they spending way too much on? One bad contract can't be the entire cause for them spending to the cap, yet having zero depth.
