I'm kind of disappointed Torts claimed/admitted in the presser he didn't know what was going on elsewhere when he pulled his goalie in a tie game. I was hoping he'd say "I did it just to gently caress the Penguins over" I'm also disappointed it would have fallen flat since the Pens needed no help loving themselves over and it was actually the Red Wings.

What are the odds of one team pulling off three miracle comebacks in a week to stay alive in the race, another team finding everything breaking just right so that they have to pull their goalie at the end of a tie game to stay alive, and both of those teams eliminating each other nearly simultaneously in real time? That's never ever going to happen again. It's like the hockey version of the 2011 AL East.

That fuckin losing streak was painful but overall I'm optimistic about Philly next season and I look forward to what moves happen in the summer also frame this post and break it out when I am suicidal by the end of October and am awaiting my lobotomy

I feel like they are destined to hobble into a weak first round exit, but that is definitely an optimistic viewpoint

I am so glad this season is almost over... I watched the first period of the Flames/Sharks game about a week ago and it was just so so bad. The only thing I'm optimistic about next season is a top 5 pick.

Good Soldier Svejk posted:Especially not without fixing their goaltending issues. And unfortunately for them any quality goaltender up for grabs is guaranteed to involve a bidding war Fedotov and Kolosov are obviously the two big question marks. I don't count any of Fedotov's appearances this season for or against him because of the circumstances. Like welcome to America, here's brand new equipment, here's smaller rinks, you're playing tomorrow, have fun. I also don't know enough about Kolosov to venture any sort of guess. So the situation is... fluid. Better than it was a month ago, but I don't think we'll have a handle on it until this time next season.

the blues had the most disastrous season. finish just out of the playoffs to ensure you draft maybe a 3rd liner/2nd pairing guy, definitely what will improve the team's longterm prospects

The Flyers biggets issue was that they didn't have a competent #3 goalie at all. They ran Ersson into the ground after Hart got arrested and it showed at the end

They also should look into getting a #1 or #2 goalie first but the #3 does seem like something they'll also have to solve seriously don't go into next season expecting good things if your #1 guy has put up an .89 the last 2 seasons it's not like the defense is going to suddenly get better, or the coaching if they're not swinging for Ullmark they're right back to the basement

Probably the most disappointing Devils season since like, 1996 or 2011, and at least the 96 team had the 95 and 94 results to fall back on, and the 10 team had the cool Lemaire bump at the end of the season and the promise of what that meant the next year. Obviously they need a goalie but I don't trust Fitzgerald to make the right choice there. I think the core is still probably good enough, especially with Dougie back and Luke/Nemec having another year under their belt, but questions are there too (is Jack just a 60 game player, is Siegenthaler dogshit, etc). At least I don't have to read zoomers talking about how many Cups they're going to win, and it will probably do the team good to have a little bit of a chip like they did in 22-23.

So I assume the Penguins are dropping the pick to the Sharks unless they get incredibly lucky draft lottery wise? I am ready to switch back to mid 2000's Penguins of dreaming about the best players available again.

Carver posted:So I assume the Penguins are dropping the pick to the Sharks unless they get incredibly lucky draft lottery wise? Yes, unless they win the lottery at like 2% odds they'll be outside the top ten. Thank goodness for that. Their 2025 pick will probably be in the top five. Here's hoping they at least top-3 protect it when they inevitably trade it this summer.

I was hoping he'd say "I did it just to gently caress the Penguins over" Can't speak for other barns but, in 2013 (the lockout year), I attended the last CBJ game of the season wherein a win and any Minnesota loss put them in. The displays around the arena showed the score of every other game in progress except MIN/COL. I remember this because cell service sucked inside the building and no one seemed to know what was going on with the other game that mattered. The Jackets won, but so did the Wild.

Habs were good enough to cheat themselves out of a top-5 pick but the vibes at the end of the season were good, so that's something. Next year they need to be contending for playoffs at min, ideally making it in as a wild card. Good Things
Bad Things
