Dom had an Athletic article today handing out awards for the first 2 months of the year and gave Robertson the Hart, and posted something that stuck out to me about Connor

Dom L posted:

With Robertson on the ice, the Stars have earned 58 percent of the expected goals and have outscored opponents 24-11. With McDavid, the Oilers are at 52 percent and have been outscored 16-14. At five-on-five, Robertson is personally outscoring McDavid 19 to 11.

That the Oilers have been outscored with McDavid on the ice is his current biggest deterrent, but given his 6.9 percent on-ice shooting percentage it’s unlikely that continues much longer. Yes, somehow, McDavid has been unlucky offensively. Once that changes, so will this leaderboard.

He goes on to say that every other player in Hart discussion plays with elite linemates or on a stacked team, but it’s still insane to me the Oilers can get outscored with him on the ice

It's a weird situation, we haven't seen it in a long time where the league's best player or near best player is on such a consistently mediocre team. Ovi and Jumbo fell short for a long time in their primes but they had great teams.

You've probably got to go back to Jagr after Lemieux retired for the first time, but he had already won a couple of Cups and peaced the gently caress out of there shortly after (after the miracle Mario 01 season sadly enough).



I feel like I made this same post last year and then he somehow carried them even harder. Difficult to see him having a better playoffs than he did last year and they still got smoked by the Avs. The West does look more open this year though.

The solution is to break their spirits by conditioning them as early in their careers as possible to being the only good player on losing franchises so it’s all they know.

See Connor Bedard and the Regina Pats

“Of course I’d like to be a productive top-line player,” Puljujärvi said in his native Finnish, as translated by Seppälä. “But right now, it looks like I can't do that in NHL. Maybe some other league.”

….

“It’s hard to tell why I'm not scoring,” he continued. “I've been thinking about it a lot. I scored earlier and I think now I'm older, more experienced and a better player. Yet I'm not scoring.

“If you play with Connor, you have to score. Maybe I just don't have it.”

Feel bad for him, but 1 goal and 6 points in 26 games playing shotgun with McDavid, maybe the fancystats community is wrong about him being the next Nichushkin?

I kind of took for granted how good Ovechkin was for a while. Laine came into the league with one of the most hyped releases in the league, and looked like he’d be a threat for 50 every year sitting in Ovie’s office on the power play in his rookie year. But it took less than 2 years for teams/goalies to figure it out and now he barely even scores on the powerplay

Ovie’s been socking dingers from that left hashmark on the powerplay for his entire career and there is absolutely nothing teams can do to stop it. Add to that he is like 240lbs, plays physical and never gets hurt and there’s never gonna be another player like him.

I remember when teenage Svechnikov thought it was a good idea to fight him in the playoffs and almost got a brain injury lol

Has DeBrincat shown any indication he'll resign or is the expectation the Sens will cut their losses and dump him at the deadline?

They have the cap space for him but I can’t see him wanting to stay in Ottawa long-term so it’s looking like another Matt Duchene-type acquisition for Pierre. Mostly just glad he never gave up the 2023 first for Chychrun

This limbo of not doing anything until new ownership takes over is brutal, don’t really care who buys the team as long as they clear house

Even though there aren’t really any more huge Scott Stevens 90’s style open ice hits in hockey anymore (which is good,) as someone that grew up watching it I cringed so hard when Hronek literally turns his head around exorcist style to look who’s behind him as he skates the puck up the middle of the ice. gently caress Ryan Reaves for throwing that hit at a guy that didn’t see him coming.

Hronek was having a breakout season in Detroit too (24pts in 29 games)

Brunnette got out-coached pretty bad in the playoffs last year, but it was by Jon Cooper and a meat grinder of a Lightning team in the 2nd round

He’s in charge of the Devils powerplay this year which is pretty mediocre for all the talent they have, so maybe the Panthers hiring a new guy was a good idea. Dunno why they chose a coach who lost the locker room so bad at his last job that he quit mid-season lol
