OT: Around the NHL: Congrats to Kessel

[Buddy Bizarre]

All of the awards handed to Bruins are underscored by their choke to the Panthers.

No different than our choke job in '93

 

[vikingGoalie]

wow that trade to chicago, they have a bunch yet to do on that roster but thats pretty much robbery.
dunno if Hall will ever see chicago be a playoff team but they might not be as far away as some think. I mean we couldn't beat them when we needed to so they must be goodish already right? right?

 

[Jumptheshark]

So you beat writer Seth Rorabaugh voted McDavid the 5th best player in the league this year.. I can understanding maybe voting McDavid 2nd or 3rd best--but 5th?

The worst part is that Rorabaugh isn't even the biggest nincompoop of the lot.

The Hart is a stupid trophy with a stupid definition, so I actually hope he's just exposing how dumb the criterion of "judged most valuable TO HIS TEAM" is.

All Penguins writers are f***ing idiots.

 

[td_ice]

Yeah, Seth Rorabaugh, he's in the media? I thought he was a blogger dude. Whatever he is, he's an idiot for that vote.

Karlsson was probably just as integral to the Sharks this year, as McDavid was to the Oilers imo

I don't think Rorabaugh's vote makes sense, but I am also struggling to feel bad that McDavid only won the MVP overwhelmingly instead of unanimously.

 

[Turin]

Yea just make the trophy the league MVP. Don't have it be this weird nebulous thing that almost always would be given to a goalie if it was actually the real definition.

 

[Zbynek]

This Devils lineup, after re-signing Boqvist and acquiring Helle/Ullmark, will dominate our division for years to come.

All the media are pretty much blogger dude grade at this point.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

It is so weird a stalwart like Danton Heinen has not been signed yet.

Just absolutely disrespectful for one of the best depth wingers to ever play the game.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Sucks that Poehling is in Philly. He showed he has so much promise if used correctly so naturally Sullivan rarely ever did. I'll be shocked if he doesn't hit close to 40+ in Philly.

No different than our choke job in '93

Or all the choke jobs by Sullivan since 2017.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Why is Yzerman making such terrible moves recently? I don’t see how the Red Wings are going to get much better now or long term unless a couple prospects/young guys turn into Art Ross/Hart/Norris level superstars.

Wanna bet?

They're gonna dominate the division for years to come without Hellebuyck or Ullmark. With 'em, they're probably gonna be in the running for a couple of SCF over the Hughes/Hischier era.

Though Schmid looks like he might be a real solid goalie, I imagine they're geared up and ready to start going now, so they're not interested in waiting to see when it comes to Schmid.

God f***ing forbid somebody has an opinion and not drop n' slob on Twinkletoes McFingerbang's knob.

 

[Ignatius]

Who is it on here who really hates Marc Staal? He is a Flyer now, we can all mutually dislike him at the very least until further notice.

Everyone with self-respect. He'll fit right in with those losers.

I like this Seth lad just for that.

f*** the Staal's. I hope they never win a cup ever again. Especially Marc.

I think they do care what Schmid does. He's been the only recent Devils goalie from the pipeline that has shown immense potential in a long time. He's still fairly young with room for growth and having him as their 1B is fantastic.

Meanwhile we ride a 1B that beat up a woman.

 

[eXile3]

Wanna bet?

Yeah I liked him for what he was but his offense was limited. I would be surprised if he cracks 30.

 

[eXile3]

Tarasenko fired his agent because he wants to stay with NY. I get it’s probably nice if you’re rich but I’ll never understand the allure of that city.

I don't like big cities, but I also live at a medium city myself. I hope Tarasenko signs with Canes on a medium term with around 6.5-7M AAV.
