Pornographic Memory posted:the sad thing is they aren't even a team that intended to tank the season yet they're managing to be literally the worst team of this millenium I can't wait until next year, when an expansion team will probably beat the marker laid down by the 2016-2017 Colorado Avalanche.

I still don't understand how the Avs are so terrible unless their players just quit. Varlamov wasn't hurt all year, the defense has a couple good players in EJ and Barrie, the offense should be lethal but isn't.

It's almost all the offense. As soon as the team said "Start worrying about playing defense/Corsi" there has been no offense to speak of. Plus EJ was out for a few months, as well with Varlamov fighting injuries as he is wont to do. We used our fourth string goalie tonight. Not that that's an excuse for the Abortion On Ice that was tonight's game. There's no reason a team with Landeskog/Duchene/Rantanen/MacKinnon are playing this horribly. None.

Dorion has done many shameful things since taking over, but Mike Condon for a 5th was definitely not one of them Also they showed Methot's mangled finger on the jumbotron lol

The Dirty Burger posted:Dorion has done many shameful things since taking over, but Mike Condon for a 5th was definitely not one of them I feel for Condon. He was really solid after Carey went down, and his play probably declined heavily because he wasn't ready to be the guy for as much as he was last year. I also feel for Scrivens, but that's because I just think he's a nice guy. At the end of the day, Montoya came here with the mission of "I'm going to be the best backup goalie in the world", and I don't think you can ask a guy to be ready to stay in for 10 goals against. The Habs haven't necessarily had the best statistical backups, but they all seem like great guys and I really hope they enjoy success wherever they go. Just not at the expense of the Habs.

In addition to McDavid having a 6 point lead for 1st, Draisaitl is now 10th in points with 69 (nice). They're also have the highest combined point total at 156, 3 better than Crosby/Malkin. Draisaitl's gonna get paid.

the Bruins are gonna blow it down the stretch and miss the playoffs ha ha. I'll still be a fan, but jeez. I'd be happier if they were clearly NOT a playoff team because being this weird, frustrating, bubble team for the last few years has not been a whole lot of fun to watch.

I feel for Avs fans and maybe the players, but this feels like some sort of cosmic justice for the Kroenkes taking the Rams and putting them in a market where somehow fewer people give a poo poo. Was the Crosby/Methot thing intentional or incidental? bewbies posted:also just close your eyes for a second and imagine if methot had chopped off crosby's finger The Yinzers would Yinzer unlike any Yinzering that had ever happened before. e- https://twitter.com/Aportzline/status/845251269375725568 Sorry FAS.

He wasn't intentionally trying to amputate his finger but it was definitely an intentional slash. https://gfycat.com/ifr/FinishedShallowAntelope It sucks for the guy, our #2 defenseman's out for the rest of the season, but it's a move you see a hundred times a night

Does anybody know why Calgary wasn't more patient with Daniel Tkaczuk? I was looking at his profile on hockeydb and he had 11 pts in 19 games as a 21/22 yr old, which seems decent to me. What gives? They traded him for Roman Turek after like 20 reasonably productive games. Weird.

To further pile on the Avs Are Bad wagon, they're only the fourth team in the post-lockout era to reach the 50 regulation loss mark. The other teams: 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 Sabres - 51 regulation losses 2014-2015 Coyotes - 50 regulation losses Oh by the way, this year's Avs still have NINE games left. I thought those Sabres squads were dire but hoooly poo poo this Avalanche team is on another level of terrible. Chuch fucked around with this message at 15:53 on Mar 24, 2017 |

Weird. 11 points in 19 would be great from a prospect now, but I don't think it was particularly impressive for the late 90s/early 2000s. I mean, Jagr had 121 points the year you're talking about, for example. Also, if you look at the Flames roster that year, it seems like they had a lot of young talent (Savard and Iginla both 23) and he probably seemed expendable.
