Around the NHL XXXVI - Final Countdown: 2018 edition

[DaveMatthew]

Ha. Turns out it was EK that was cursing at EK.

Who cussed out Erik Karlsson?

Hahaha paging @Ice-Tray who once famously said:

Dillon Is speaking directly to EK (still makes me laugh that you argued that it was actually EK yelling at himself).

 

[Boud]

Hahaha paging @Ice-Tray who once famously said:

I remember seeing that comment and just thinking how some people just think what they want. This guy was not a big fan of EK/ big supporter of management decisions so for him he obviously wants to make it a negative spin towards EK.

It was obviously not Dillion you just look at the play and it makes absolutely NO SENSE AT ALL that it would be Dillon.

 

[slamigo]

The first voice is Dillon though. Then it’s EK.

 

[Sens]

So... SJ traded him for a 2nd 4th and 5th, not exactly great for a guy on that pace. Might not even get a mediocre nhl'r out of those picks.

Which tells you how overrated draft picks are... picks that this management tosses away like candy

That’s friggin awesome, I was totally wrong! Thanks for taking the time to notify me in the post so I could back here and face the music.

When you’re wrong you’re wrong, and I was wrong. It’s pretty funny insight actually, I little window into how EK does things on the ice.

Flame away, I deserve it

 

[Karl Prime]

Karlsson's back to looking like Norris Erik. 14 points in last 15 games. He's been especially exceptional since that Ottawa game.

you're just always wrong tho.
And it's hilarious with the kind of certainty you think you're right.

Eh, I'm ok with you disagreeing with me given the opinions you post.

Wow, man, guy owns up to his mistake and you gotta get another dig in? Not sure how well that reflects on you...


TO with a beauty loss last night, sometimes it's the only thing that keeps me going

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Watched half the Sharks game last night. Karlsson was looking superb IMO. Fast and big active stick.

With Waddell and Dundon running the show, Carolina may actually have a worse owner/management combo than us.

Dundon just gave an interview where he made it very clear he's going to be involved in the decision making of hockey moves:

Waddell has decades of incompetence under his belt, and has continued that by trading Skinner, Lindholm and Hanifin (41G and 80P thus far) for Hamilton, Ferland, Fox (who probably won't re-sign), Pu and a 2nd (14G and 25P thus far).

It's a shame. I like the Canes and thought they were well on their way to being a future contender before this off-season. Now I'm not so sure.

 

[Sensmileletsgo]

Having an owner that hands on to the hockey side of things like Dundon and Melnyk are must be a total nightmare for the GM.

Not if being a sucky yes man is in your nature

I’m just waiting for Dundon to offer Melnyk a subprime loan.

Do you mean Ferland? Fox has given every indication he will sign with Carolina.

 

[TheBradyBunch]

Kuokkanen
Slavin
Di Guiseppe
Hamilton
Williams
McGinn

That's a list of who Carolina used in the shootout. Aho had a 4 pt night. They lost, would you believe it?!

Washington, on the other hand, used Oshie, Kuznetsov, Ovechkin, Backstrom, Eller, and Vrana.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Can't believe that goof ball Chiasson has 14 goals already this year.

 

[Melgene Eunyk]

Ovie now has 28 goals in 31 games.. Cup hangover doesn't seem to be adversely affecting him lol

He must be loving life right now considering he had a hard time finding a contact this summer

 

[Six Assets]

he's a serviceable 3rd liner imo, not sure why he no one signed him

 

[Melgene Eunyk]

he's a serviceable 3rd liner imo, not sure why he no one signed him

He hasn't really displayed an ability to play at that level consistently, though. He's a strange player.

 

[Sensmileletsgo]

he's a serviceable 3rd liner imo, not sure why he no one signed him

He looked like a fringe guy in Ottawa and Calgary IMO. A guy with skill but not enough to play in your top 6, but not really a guy with the grit to play in your bottom 6.

But he did have a decent playoffs in Washington on their fourth line so I was also not sure why he had a hard time finding a team this summer

Weren't they first in the league at some point this year (or conference at least) and everyone was all like, see their time has finally come? Anyhow I don't know how anyone could actually like Carolina, aside from being an expansion (OK fine relocation) team that has won the cup before us, they then went outside to celebrate in the 40-degree carolina sun, plus I stayed up till like five in the morning to watch that game seven in the hope that a Canadian team might actually win the cup again (and felt dirty for doing so because ew Edmonton).

 

[The Lewler]

He's gonna be one of those guys at the end of his career where you are gonna go, wait what?

That goofy tweener hung on for 500+ NHL games and put up less than 200 pts as an offensive player?
