News from Around the AHL/NHL/KHL 2018-19 Pt. IV

[Uncle Duke]

Hurricanes have had 41 shots to 17 .. And down 2-0!

That's their MO.

No loser point tonight. Was pulling for Canes but good outcome.

 

[SI90]

Philly looks like garbage unless they play us. Wtf

 

[islesfan186]

Lol flyers, up 5-2 and now losing 6-5.

Edit: make that 7-5 now

Maybe with a fork in them they'll be less of a challenge for us.

They met us at the right time. At our best, they would be slapped!

TO isn’t going anywhere w that D and G.

You can only outscore your opponent for a round, as you advance D takes over; they don’t have it.

 

[PK Cronin]

That all but eliminates Philadelphia I think. Seven points back with 11 games left to play and a team to jump too. We get less cushion from that 8th seed, but still have a game in hand. Glad they all were over in regulation.

...wasn’t aware of a large Irish population in Toronto.

Not sure if you're joking or not, so I'll reply honestly. The St. Patricks were an old team in Toronto that eventually became the Maple Leafs.

...wasn’t aware of a large Irish population in Toronto.

It would explain much of the obvious drunken trade proposals by the fan base

 

[Quickdraw2828]

Count on at least one fight in next Isles Flyers game, Flyers have nothing to lose now. Will be extremely chippy.

I said this before but I think more then there defense it will be team toughness that kills them in the playoffs.

Laffs score 7 goals and Johnny Turncoat goes 0 -0 -0 in almost 22 minutes played including 4 minutes on the pp.

 

[YearlyLottery]

The Flyers f***ing suck.

Looking like he won't beat his career high in points and only marginally improve on his career high in goals....playing with Matthews, Marner, Nylander, and Reilly on that PP.

He’s going to score 50 this year!! Maybe even 60!!!

I predicated 43 on one of the main board threads back in maybe November and that seems to be like it will be pretty accurate. Surrounded by all that talent and only beating your career high by a few goals and not even topping your career high in points...

Now watch him get like 3 hat tricks and 20 points in the remaining games lol

Good call.

He’s having a good year. We tried to warm leafs fans about his hit first half of the season that he always has but they didn’t want to listen. We were screamed at that he’s on pace for 50 goals and 100pts and he’s going to get it!

 

[notDatsyuk]

...wasn’t aware of a large Irish population in Toronto.

There is. Also, the team was the "Toronto St Pats" when they started in 1917, up until Conn Smythe bought them and changed the name to "Maple Leafs". Those are their throwback jerseys, and this was their last home game before St Paddy's Day.

and he’s going to get it!

He got it alright and he'll get it again the next time we see him on Long Island

 

[SI90]

Pettersson so disrespectful. Filthy

He should beat his career high even without getting hot. The Leafs still have 11 games to go and he's only 10 points away from beating his career best.

Where context needs to be used before Leaf fans gloat too much is the fact this is one of the highest scoring seasons in some time and his "career high" will still see him finish somewhere in the 14-18 range league-wide.

That might be the best technique I've ever seen on that move. He really sold it to the goalie by going so far to his left until moving the puck right at the last possible second. He even did the little curl on his backhand at the end. Nice.

So now that he's finally on a good team and surrounded by quality players he basically matches his previous best season.

Yep!

Unleashed... to do more of the same!

 

[BTrotts19]

It all comes down to playoff performance, if he only puts up a couple of points in that Boston series, and a playoff defeat, the hometown crowd will start sniping at him

If that happens, there will be a lot of stressful mornings sitting on the couch out by the pool clutching the blanky....
