The Out of Town Thread (Part 47)

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

The way Rod Brind'Amour has the Canes playing reminds me a lot of Joel Bouchard. Both of them have this way of motivating the players to play relentless hockey. To give the opposition the hardest time, making them earn every inch they get. The only difference is that Carolina has the skill to keep up with the hard work. For Laval, and down the road in Montreal, that skill is on its way.

Canes are among my favs to win

And they went to the Conference Final last year. And this year's team is even deeper this year with the additions of Trotcheck, Skjei, Vatanen, Gardiner, and Dzingel (even if he's not in the line-up now, he is an NHL player who has two 20+ goal seasons).

Edmundson was a great addition.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Svechnikov with the hat trick. Those buggers jumped ahead of us in the 2018 draft.

Aho's an absolute post-season beast. We should have gone maximum salary and term on that offer sheet.

"Thomas Dundon can't afford to pay him, Bergevin is a genius, he front loaded the deal"

 

[peate]

Jets score first.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Edmundson was a great addition.

I'm sure I'm leaving out some other additions.

But this is why I said earlier that Rutherford, Francis, and Waddel can take credit for this team because the team is filled with players from all three GM reigns.

Rutherford's reign: Slavin, Staal, Williams, McGinn,

Francis: Aho, Teurevainen, Fleury, Necas, van Riemsdyk, Foegele,

Waddell: Svechnikov, Niederreiter, Martinook, Trotchek, Mrazek, Hamilton, Gardiner, Edmundson, Skjei, Vatanen.


Francis' reign mostly drafted the players. Waddell mostly added through trades and free agency. Nevertheless, this team looks to have been built and is being coached the right way.

Svechnikov should have been ours. Complete bullshit that the Canes got him, we deserve him.

and also Carolina destroying Rangers was more than expected

They are good. I had Rangers in 5, and it was mainly because how the Rangers came on in the 2nd half.

I guess the Rangers lost their magic during the pandemic. Shestorkin was a big part of that too, but he couldn't play.

Don't forget that Carolina did get some good players in the deadline and sadly a couple were injured back in march. The covid helped them like they did with Columbus who had like 10 injuries at 1 point.

 

[Redux91]

Washington vs Tampa should be fun, looking forward to it

Not to mention that we should also have Aho, but that's our scouts fault when we drafted Juulsen and Aho went like 9 spots later.

True , but u just made me think again how bad our offer was to AHO last summer
ahahahahahahahahahahahah

 

[JianYang]

Jets get a 2 minute 5 on 3, but I wonder if they even practiced one without scheifele and Laine.

Jets fail on the 5 on 3 but score soon after 5 on 5.... Weird stuff.

[CauZuki]

Svech is such a beast.

 

[ahmedou]

Svech is such a beast.

The no-mistakes mentality proned in this organization is toxic as hell. We are doing the opposite of the normal NHL teams that are accompanying their draftee/youngster players from the beginning until the end. We aren't allowing them to the best NHL'er possible (no chances and ice-time, punitions, rush, etc). We're the worst parents for these kids.

Our top prospects could've been in the same category, alas

 

[Canadienna]

Beaulieu's embarrased face on the bench after that own-goal gave me serious flashbacks. I feel like he had a lot of own-goals on the Habs too.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Tkachuk is such a f***ing tool

 

[JianYang]

So many odd man rushes for Winnipeg. They just can't finish them off.

Ehlers just scored, and I was just about to say that he really needs to step up with schiefle and Laine out. He's been preoccupied with Tkachuk way too much

 

[Adam Michaels]

Jets score on the PP. Take the lead again. Ehlers.

 

[Dagistitsyn]

Tkachuk is such a f***ing tool

Would love to have him on the team though.

Tkachuk - Suzuki - Gallagher would be such an annoying line to play against.

 

[Dagistitsyn]

Svechnikov should have been ours. Complete bullshit that the Canes got him, we deserve him.

He wouldn't be producing nearly as much if we picked him. Probably stuck on the 4th line.

Tkachuk - Suzuki - Tkachuk

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Tkachuk - Suzuki - Tkachuk

habs would always go 3v5 every games
