Post-Game Talk: Hockey is Fun!

[TML11]

I watched Reilly fairly closely this game. Yes, definitely a number of blunders. Not sure what's going on with him. Hopefully its just a temporary thing and he'll find his game again.

He has been doing this kind of stuff all season. Is he injured? Or just lost his mojo?

 

[Rare Jewel]

Outside of the comeback, I think the Canes are in a really good position. Great blueline and their forwards are really coming around. Loved what I saw from Necas and Svechnikov. And Aho is Aho.

Oh yeah. They get one more forward, they're set.

Probably the best set up team to play Boston in a series IMO.

Gotta be some kind of injury because he's not even skating as well as he could be. Getting to watch him live a few times he was flying all over the ice and was always involved and looked like the best player out there but that hasn't been the case this season.

Didn't Carolina just get swept by Boston?

Ok, well Boston are quite good.

But I don't see really how that carries over if they do meet in the coming playoffs.

 

[Mikeyg]

Yeah points are cool, but the real victory here is all the pain and self doubt that ole egocock is harboring while watching this. What a miracle.

 

[Eye Test]

A +19 goal differential in 15 games is good right?

That includes the philly debacle right ? That’s very very impressive if it does

 

[Eye Test]

I really hope Babcock supporters and Dubas/Keefe haters can now see how absolutely AWFUL Babcock's line management was compared to Keefe. Ik there are still some in hiding waiting for us to lose a few so they can come out of hiding.

They’re switching to Corsi arguments now lmao... sad day for mr poulin where ever he is hiding

 

[Razz]

Visiting home for the holidays and bought tickets to this game for the hell of it. Had zero expectations of a win given the schedule. Boy oh boy was I ever treated to the best game I've ever seen live.

So why isn't on the IR? He's never even been scratched this year. It's kind of strange eh?

Who knows. He's been given a lot of practices off this year so far so makes you think some kind of injury is definitely real.

 

[HoweHullOrr]

1. He has had a tonne of those moments this year.

He isn't old as a defenseman so you hope he keeps improving. No one would complain about having a Yandle, Letang, Karlsson, they just need good defensive partners.

2. Maybe there should two trophies, best defensman Norris/Orr, and best offensive defenseman Coffey.

1. Agreed. What seems to bothering Reilly has been happening since the start of the season pretty much.

2. Ya, that's a good idea. Clearly there are 2 different kind of defensemen and playing styles.

 

[HoweHullOrr]

Only problem I see with sech so far is he doesnt seem to know how to nibble he just bites and a few times already he has bit off more then he can chew. He already got brained by ovexhkin for it.

He'll learn quickly I suspect.

 

[HoweHullOrr]

IDK really. He doesn't appear injured and there's been no news of such, but I guess you never know. They can hide that kind of thing pretty well.

Goaltending is suspect in my opinion.

 

[Welsh Maple Leaf]

Babcock this, Egocock that

enough is enough. It’s nice to just win as fans of the club without talking about that miserable prick.

Its obsessive.

 

[crump]

 

[mix1home]

You know, they say that puck always travels faster than you can skate. We should add now that “...except if that is Mitch Marner”.

 

[IPS]

I thinks it's pretty obvious. All the fame would go to the stars. They would be the reason we won all the games, and that egoist sick maniac wouldn't be able to tolerate it. He wanted all the fame, he wanted to be a difference maker. He would rather lose than release the top guys and to see them winning.

It is such a shame we have wasted the last two years thanks to that prick.

A lot of our own fans were trying to defend this nonsense too.

Some people honestly tried telling me that Babcock was neutering offense from our star players to get cheaper contracts.

Unprecedented stupidity.

 

[MyBudJT]

lmao pal you thought Ben Harpur should have been on the team to start the year.

your player evaluation is completely awful, just quit already.

Are you going to go around bashing me spreading lies (I’ve openly said his preseason wasn’t good enough)... or actually discuss the opinion that Hyman is due for a big pay day after next season...?

 

[Magic Man]

Harpur is having a fine season in the AHL. He is the +/- leader for the team, is tied with the Leafs in major penalties and has repectable point production without PP time.

Not in the Hyman for 7M camp though. He's not good enough or mean enough to earn that.

after four years of gud pro this and pucks in deep that, we're allowed to vent a bit.

I love Hyman, but his game will undoubtedly drop off as he gets into his late 20s, early 30s. He’s a very important part of the team, but he’s also definitely replaceable. Anything over $3m you simply can’t consider for a guy at that age who plays that role

 

[Bluebear]

Hd's scoring at a 30 goal pace since he's been back from injury. Looking like he'll get 20 this year despite the late start. If he keeps up that pace, it would be hard to pay him like he is just a grinder, he'll get paid for his offence too, but probably not big term.

 

[Welsh Maple Leaf]

I think that period is over.

Just my opinion.
