The 2019-20 Around the League Thread, Pt. VI - Zamboni Goalie Edition

[Zombotron]

I will vociferously cheer for Edmonton's first-round opponent if it's not us. Even if it's Calgary.

Pacific Division is Vegas + a bunch of pretenders. Edm/Cal/Van/Ari/Cali teams are just not very good.

So did we.

 

[M2Beezy]

So did we.

Yeah by getting out of Maddens potentially expensive contract

To be fair no one is really prepared for this- Italy just shut everything down

i second that. they've done pretty well. upgraded their fowards/defense positions. when the guys are healthy. time for them to make another magical run ala 2017

Being dominated at 5 on 5 for the last couple weeks . Relying on great goaltending and special team is not a recipe for success. Should have been run out of the building their last couple of games.

are you talking about the Canucks?

 

[canuckking1]

Flordia one point back of the leafs. At least if the canucks miss the playoffs I can take solace in the fact that leafs will be joining them at Augusta national.

 

[VanillaCoke]

The leafs are going to make the playoffs.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Dave Tippett (whom I was never a fan of his coaching style) has to be up for the 'coach of the year'..He has succeeded where other good coaches before him, have failed in Edmonton.

Even through their injuries, he maintained a respectable record.

 

[WTG]

I wish Ray Ferraro did Canucks games.
Maybe in a few years Bieksa will do Canucks games.

 

[Pip]

Morgan Geekie having an impressive start to his career. Another goal tonight.

 

[geebaan]

Come on Montreal....way to help us out.

Coleman has been a real disappointment for Tampa. Never got the hype around him

 

[Addison Rae]

Toronto with back 2 back wins against Tampa, without Stamkos that series could be very interesting.

 

[Slapshot_11]

Too easy

 

[PG Canuck]

Toronto with back 2 back wins against Tampa, without Stamkos that series could be very interesting.

Tampa really lacks top end talent now. It’s very bleak after Kucherov.

I’d put point in just a tier below Kuch but yeah, Stamkos being hurt is a massive blow. And Hedman is also banged up now per usual for this time of year.

 

[canuckking1]

Tampa spent 2 firsts+good prospect on Coleman and Goodrow they've been real difference makers so far.

 

[John Belushi]

Tampa spent 2 firsts+good prospect on Coleman and Goodrow they've been real difference makers so far.

They're the sort of players to make a big impact in a lengthy playoff run. Coleman especially has "big goal" written all over him.

 

[Hit the post]

They’re that good, they could afford to lose our arguable MVP (JT Miller) and STILL be tied for 2nd overall in the league at this point. We could be a lottery pick team again without JT.
