The Del Preston Around The League Thread 2018-19 v5

Metro Division about to pass us. -27 differential overall. -29 pacific. I think the pacific was around -80 at one point hehe.

It's kind of weird to see LA and Chicago at the bottom of the standings in the West

Cyclical nature of the game as MacT would say. Just gotta hope that we see GM Patrick Kane with POHO Toews, and on the other side GM Doughty and POHO Quick so they can put in a solid 20-30 years of down cycle

Someone gonna remind Ebs he's in a contract year? Would be helpful if he was reminded today.

Took a look at the Ebs thread on HFIsles a few days ago. The comments there look eerily similar to what we were saying in his last year here.

Avs fans (and many non-leafs fans) getting to enjoy an endless argument with Leafs fans about how they think Matthews is better than their guy because of primary points and primary points/60, and how goals should be worth more than assists, etc...

 

[BlackDogg]

Maybe we can pick up Eberle on waivers for the playoffs

 

[BlackDogg]

2-1 Isles

Eberle for Spooner?

Calgary’s national anthem singer has to be the worst in the entire league. They love their faux-Country hack down there in shit town. Go Flyers!

Leaf fans will use whatever illogical logic when whining and snivelling their point of view. Up next - after they get eliminated in the first round again - how the playoffs are so unfair.

Flyers had all the pressure early and some chances but couldn't score.

Of course Calgary scores first.

Philly is mostly trash this year so I’m not surprised. They have crappy goaltending and their roster is like a tapestry of mediocrity.

 

[GodPucker]

Be ashamed Philly. Bennett scored lol.

 

[Cloned]

Rick Ball is so much better than Quinn. I actually hate that we get stuck with Quinn.

They sort of remind me of the Mclellan-led Oilers.

 

[Cloned]

Gaudreau down

 

[Cloned]

I’d trade for Gudas just for that lol

 

[GodPucker]

Jhonny falls down trying to avoid a check and hurts himself lol

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Gudas inadvertently knees Gaudreau in the head. Gaudreau was falling on his own and Gudas was finishing his check. Big loss for Calgary if he goes down too.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Yeah, Hrudey is over here like he slipped, wrong... He tried to bail on the hit, and got knee'd in the head.

 

[GodPucker]

Skittles will be right back out there though. Always has to dramatize everything.

Yeah, Hakstol isn’t a good coach. I still laugh that Hextall hired someone whose last name sounds exactly the same as his.

Rick Ball is terrible. Biggest lamest homer in all of sports. I was talking to a Flames fans last week and he was saying he think Ball sucks badly.

Quinn makes mistakes but is 1000 times better than Ball.

I’d prefer an accurate homer than a mistake prone, sleep inducing bore.
