Miscellaneous NHL Talk XLIII - April showers

[Beef Invictus]

This proposed playoff format is quite awful. I hope it never sees the light of day:

FORGET THE f***ING DIVISIONS

FORGET THE f***ING DIVISIONS

[Rebels57]

There isnt a world that exists that I take Gaudreau or Huberdeau over Couturier.

I agree, but having him 4th isnt exactly 0 love. He should be 2 though behind Kucherov, at worst.

Ok - getting minimal love. I don't see how you can put him behind the other two unless you're only looking at points - which is likely what ESPN does, so it wouldnt be surprising. But it's still baffling how hes so underappreciated.

Im surprised they even had him that high. They usually just look at total points. They are less insightful than a lockdown protester.

Death to divisions.

 

[orangey]

If they play in divisional locations and finish all or most of the regular season does that mean they wouldn't play any non-divisional opponents? Would they just play a few of the previously scheduled divisional opponents to get up to a common number of games then call it a reg season? You could get everyone to 76 (or however many) games with an assortment of divisional opponents then have a 'normal' playoffs. That would seem to work and be fair while allowing some ramp up games that matter.

Laraque tests positive for COVID-19

 

[The Rage Kage]

tbh they should just turn the lites off on this season, and list it as the year NHL was played.

the cup will always carry a * for this regardless who or how its won.

As long as they don't screw with the playoffs it won't be any more tainted than 2013, missing 10-15 games in the regular season is hardly that big of a deal when it comes to determining a champion.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I feel like the 1991, 1992, 2009, 2016 and 2017 Cups were extremely tainted, as they were won by taints.

Scratch a backup off the list.

 

[Appleyard]

Scratch a backup off the list.

Nice in terms of setting the market though.

Took a 0.5m wage drop on a 1 year deal.

And he is pretty much best backup available.

I guess only Khudobin left can even demand 2m now.

 

[DAVIDE1333]

Scratch a backup off the list.

I know salary cap has been hash out in numerous threads. I don't keep up with it. Can anyone guess if this contract could have been doable for the Flyers?

Yep. Just about. Elliott is on 2m.

I thought Halak and Khudobin might be at 3m and push out of Flyers reach.

 

[Deadpool8812]

Halak would have been a nice signing. oh well

 

[Stizzle]

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

 

[TheKingPin]

All the good players coming to the East. Colorado is going to run the west. Prob rest their starters for the first round.

 

[FLYguy3911]

I get the need for entertainment but a draft before the conclusion of a season would be terrible.

This is the NHL we're talking about.

 

[Striiker]

This is the NHL we're talking about.

It’s going to be a far more poorly executed budget version of the NFL draft.

Ol' Jumbo doesn't look like he's in peak physical shape

Hey Brendan Leipsic, Do You Kiss Your Mom With That Mouth

Brendan, if you want to grow (TWSS), I have some advice for you. There are only two insults that you ever need in life:

1. “Your mom”
2. “no, u”

 

[FLYguy3911]

There was also a “Patty crushed her” mixed in there which I’m pretty sure was in reference to fellow Winnipeger Nolan Patrick lol.
