OT: Around the NHL - where coaches are hired to be fired

[Tasty Biscuits]

He has as many as Horny and Letang..and Josh Archibald has more than Simon and ZAR...lol

Archie would definitely fit right in on a Sully 4th line.

I think Flyers end up with third in the Metro. Would prefer not having Flyers and then Caps.... too much stress.... so, lets win the division.

Doubt it. I think CBJ, Carolina and Philly duke it out for the WC. Isles have games in hand and a weaker schedule.

Isles started out 16-3-1 for their first 20... they’re 17-15-5 since then.
Flyers look like a better team to me, and if Hart gives them good goaltending, they have a lot of weapons.

If the Canes ever got decent goaltending, they'd be my choice. But as it stands, their goalies are probably the worst of the lot who are battling for 3rd.

For my own personal stress levels, I'd rather play the Canes, with the Jackets a distant second. Canes are the one team that if the Pens lost, it wouldn't bother me as much. Jackets with Torts kind of would, but Dubinsky's no longer around so whatever. Losing to one of the divisional rivals like the Flyers or Isles would leave a bitter taste in my mouth all summer (though not as much as winning Round 1, then losing to the Caps in Round 2).

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

I think the Devils did trade but it's with TB not Avs....

I'm seeing new posts from 10 mins ago that they made the deal.

Nolan Foote and Vancouvers 1st for Coleman...

That's a hefty price to pay. However, Coleman's the type of player that can really help a team in the playoffs, and Tampa's obviously more concerned with winning now rather than worrying about how Foote or the 1st will do in 4 to 5 years.

 

[EightyOne]

Correct. All Stadium Series games ARE shit

Why are we thinking about losing to them tho? We are going to smack them all. The only teams that are “scaring me” right now are Tampa, Boston and the usual Caps.

If it wasn’t for Hamilton’s injury, I would agree. But he was pretty much their MVP before the injury, and he’ll be missing quite more games I think.

Flyers have enough high end talent and youngsters developing well. X-factor with them is as always the goal tending.

The Leafs are such a weird team, sometimes they look amazing and sometimes they are utterly horrible. The refs screwed them a bit against the Sabres but on the other hand they were very much outplayed and totally folded after the third goal. One thing the Pens have been so good at this season is staying in games until the very end even when they don't play too well, all other teams have games where they get annihilated. Let's see what we do against TOR this week.
The Canes were a bit lucky to even get a point, Sheahan had an empty net right before Aho's tying goal but somehow missed. Draisatl showing he is not a product of McDavid and my fantasy team can't thank him enough.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I knew Coleman was going to go for a lot. Thank God JR stayed out of that one.

Archie was barely used by Sully when he had him and there were times he should have used him.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Sounds like the logistics of the Stadium Series game in Colorado was a complete shit show.

Have any of the Stadium Series games ran smoothly? Also, how on earth are they going to pull off an outdoor game in the Carolinas? Rollerhockey?

I wish they would find a new gimmick. It's not a classic anymore when it's literally every year and with teams that aren't even rivals. Like Avs vs LA? Lol.

 

[Turin]

I just really want Washington vs Philly in the first round if Philly makes it.

 

[Andy99]

Man am I tired of NBC’s Ovi goal watch 2020...but if helps Washington to keep losing games, I’ll endure it...

He's getting it Sunday against the Pens probably.

let’s hope not...

thank you Isles for losing again...I think that just means they’re going to trade for a top 6 forward...Pageau has been linked to them

 

[LOGiK]

Arizona is really doing us a solid lately. Beat up the Capitals and now the Islanders both in regulation.

Gotta nice cushion on 2nd and pushing on first hard.
Penguins are in an ultra good position... with all things considered... what an incredible season. Miserable injuries aside.

I'm wondering if this is why the team is struggling that they're forcing things.

 

[cookthebooks]

vegas and fleury doing the pens a solid through 1

 

[66-30-33]

Isles lose in reg...now 6 points back with 1 more game played. Let's beat out Toronto this week and not look back to 3rd spot in the metro and aim for 1st in the metro, but don't aim for the president trophy because that's a curse when it comes to the playoffs.

The loss of bird boy has apparently been their biggest loss so far, on par with our Jake loss but we keep winning.
