Is there a predictions thread up yet? what's the word on Barzal anyway Seems like whatever has hosed his leg up is probably still loving it up at least a little bit and he was just sitting out as long as he theoretically could maybe gonna be one of those dope yourself up for the post-season and then get extensive surgery in the summer situations

Wheeler is also an unfathomably huge rear end in a top hat so... Burns or Pavelski I guess? Are they cool outside the rink?

Duckman2008 posted:That’s a super good point and true, but every time it comes up on athletes and ethics, it’s a downward spiral because the majority of NHL hockey players have horrible opinions. this is why it's best to have hockey players like Sid whose opinions top out at "gotta get out there and put some pucks on the net"

rex rabidorum vires posted:Yeah chasing the Vezina trophy winning goalie twice and hanging 3 goals or more in 6 of the 7 games is definitely overblowing the Pens offensive output against the Rangers. The Pens scored more in 2 of their games combined than Carolina in their entire series. Yeah, Crosby's line really had them hammered until something happened I don't recall what

Simplex posted:The players seemed to know Landy wasn't coming back before the deadline. Even then it seemed the team position was that they were hoping for him to be back for the playoffs, so they really could have Kucherov'd him. even seeing the holes, it would've been a bit of a tall order to replace a 2C, 1LW, and 1G with what was available and the space they had.

Personally I can think of no bigger punishment to the rangers than being forced to have Trouba play out the duration of his contract (and probably giving him another entirely too big one at the end of it) He's already actively a detriment at every facet of play, and he's only going to get slower and worse positionally to the point where he'll be too busy headhunting to make up for last shift's embarrassment to realize he's already been deked again

glynnenstein posted:This is one of JFresh's dumb positions to hold. The NHL being bad at business is one of the things that contributes to the many lockouts that are incredibly impactful to the fan experience. Yes it's dumb that fans have to care about the business side of the sport, but the league has made it abundantly clear that they have no problem making their dollars and cents our problem. not to mention their inability to market their sport leads to them doing stupid poo poo like the jersey ads and the animated boards (not that making more money elsewhere would stop them but, ostensibly, a league worried about image wouldn't be scrimping for that sort of petty cash compared to the allure of primetime coverage)
