Golden Knights are bad without Mark Stone. Which is a shame because his back is hosed.

I can sympathize. My back is also hosed. And I basically just walk around.

Koopa Kid posted:Speaking of medical staff, I’m sorry but Vancouver was letting Ilya Mikheyev play on a torn ACL? What the gently caress? Last week someone like Bourne or Charron was posting video about how much slower Mikheyev was looking this year compared to last year and, well, I guess we have our answer.

Apparently you can just headhunt your rival's star player and take them out for multiple games for the low low price of a 2 minute minor. I see you too are 'new' to this NHL thing. You can and are both in couraged and rewarded for dangerous play that injures opponents, yes. It's a time honored tradition.

fawning deference posted:6 goals from Laf in a season with this much offense is pretty concerning, why are they highlighting that Fun Fact: on a per 60 minute basis Laf is out producing Kakko both at 5v5 and all situations. Although the players are nearly identical is production. The difference in goal scoring between the 2 is that Kakko is shooting 11% and Laf is at 7. Down from his career average of 17. Kakko's 11% is in line with his career average.

Devils fans can chirp all they want. Laf will come around Kakko is our second best 2 way player next to Mika, and what else can I say about Chytil that hasn't been said.

This is fair but Kakko does a lot of things away from the puck extremely well and looks a lot less lost in the game than Laf does. Laf has a great shot and therefore finishes as a high rate but he has taken a concerning step back this year, while Kakko has gotten better.

Also I'm very skeptical of that chart because it doesn't have any lines from the Bruins, Lightning, or Devils. That's suspicious.

The Canucks game was fun. It was pretty empty and quiet though. I enjoyed Crazy Pete's energy though. Also the stadium was cool as hell. The monuments to the jersey retired jerseys and the store with game used equipment ruled. Every single stick was taller than me though and I'm 5 11. These fuckers are tall and or use huge sticks

It's a really big problem and that Trocheck contract gets worse as time goes on. Drury is a loving moron for not letting Chytil take over 2C. They're also going to have problems with Kakko and Miller. They quickly went from "great contract situation" to capfucked in the span of 2 years. Goodrow and Trouba should be the candidates to get away from but I don't see that happening. My first guess is Lindgren is going to get traded which causes another problem.

Lindgren is one of those defensemen that gets a little underappreciated because he doesn’t play a flashy game or put up points, but is a perfect partner to a top offensive d like Fox. Reminds me a bit of Dylan Demelo, he was perfect for Chabot and then Pierre flipped him for a 3rd to Winnipeg where he is playing 22+ mins a night with Morrissey now.

The Pacific garbage patch is turning into a pretty interesting divisional race, 5 teams with 5 points of each other... all terribly inconsistent with various holes in the lineup, currently being lead by a team with a negative goal differential (yeah yeah games played). It's not really who wants it more rather who can poo poo the bed less

I fully appreciate him. It's pretty clear the defense completely falls apart whenever he misses time. And this year if that happens it means Harpur gets moved up which is really bad. But he's probably the most movable asset they have if they can't figure something out this off-season. This is all moot if Drury goes full moron and decides to trade Chytil.

Goodrow and Trouba should be the candidates to get away from but I don't see that happening. My first guess is Lindgren is going to get traded which causes another problem. Devils are absolutely going to do this too I bet. The Palat deal is going to be bad in like two years, and we'll see what behemoths Bratt and Meier get. Fitz was already trying to throw like 10m at Johnny Hockey, although I suppose that was when his job was at stake. e: Although honestly, Palat is really the only bad contract on the books. Maybe Dougie if he falls to pieces towards the end of his deal. The best thing about getting Meier would be that it takes the decision of whether to overpay for Miles Wood or Ryan Graves out of a NHL GM's hands T-Bone fucked around with this message at 18:31 on Jan 28, 2023 |

DancingMachine posted:That's a bummer OP. It hurts overall competitiveness and quality of play. The NFL figured this out like 2 decades ago and is more popular than ever. The NHL is by far the most poorly run and least forward thinking league out of the big 4 of NFL, NBA and MLB, although I guess I should say I hear the MLB is pretty dumb but I rarely follow baseball.

The NHL is an atavistic league, it’s obsessed with “returning” to some idealized state of the game that nobody wants and was objectively worse and less entertaining. Progress is actively opposed and resented.

My favourite Crazy Pete moment was last season at the first round of "Fire Benning" Chants. He tried *so hard* to turn into the usual "Go Canucks Go" chant and got visibly pissed off when the Benning chants just got louder.
