NHL Thread

[onwego]

I hate the philosophy of playing not to lose...but that's essentially what Bettman has created.

 

 

Buffalo sits there watching 2 points handed out to Fla/Tor and a pretty good chance a 3rd one as well

 

it's almost impossible to come back from a less than 500 start without an amazing win streak in the NHL

[onwego]

Or win outright?

 

 

the visiting team in a good position in the standings will rarely risk losing that tie point

 

the NHL has not been able to solve this, offering 3 for a regulation win makes it even more of an incentive for the visitor to cling to that road point

 

i don't like the Leafs turtling up 4-2, but until the other team scores two, all power to them

[Spanky99]

No, win outright...

 

GO LEAFS GO!!!

 

[Spanky99]

Geez... Muzzin out for a month? lol

Fire the 31 year old nerd Dubas and start the re-construction in the off season.

Three untouchables, Mathews, Hyman and Kapanen. Whoever is the GM in the summer should listen to offers for anyone else.

[Spanky99]

Bobby Ryan scores a hatty in his first home game after 3 months treating his alcohol addiction.

 

It suddenly got a bit dusty in here.

Yeah I won't lie, this one really got me. Especially when they showed him on the bench during the ovation.

Prime Draisaitl > Prime Malkin?

 

Leon is probably going to surpass the single-season career best point totals of Crosby (120), Malkin (113), Ovechkin (112), and McDavid (116) this year. He's got 107 already and is on pace for 133. A chance to surpass Kucherov's 128 from last year.

Probably better than Prime Malkin, yes. Lots of his points are McDavid influenced though.

 

It's funny... kind of like Crosby-Malkin all over again.

Thing is, I don't think they played a lot together, Crosby/Malkin that is, I'd give Malkin the edge.

[Spanky99]

That 1st period was lit, playoff hockey in the Bruin/Lightning tilt... highly recommend.

[Spanky99]

Great fight, great game!

Actually these guys game styles are fairly similar, big bodies, know how to position themselves and use there reach a lot, with elite skill... good call.

[Spanky99]

Mikheyev/Rielly/Ceci, and Muzzin all coming back soon before the playoffs. Lets go boys, get it.

 

GO LEAFS GO!!!

 

 

Keefe giving Freddy a lot of rest this trip.
