    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    I totally get all that, dude scored at like a 2 point per game pace. I don't think anyones on that level! We were talking about crazy fans saying they didn't want him and I was trying to imagine what he was worth to me. Maybe I did a bad job explaining all that, idk lol. Anyone would be crazy...

    All 4 plus everything else I Iisted? I have no doubt people think he's worth that, but for me thats an overpayment. I'm only throwing out what I would hypothetically be okay with, and what I listed makes both teams better today and in Edmonton's case set up very nicely for the next decade.

    Mythic Quest: Raven's Banquet

    The only parts I really like are with Mac, Poppy and Cricket. Not the funniest or most entertaining show, but it's okay I guess. I enjoy the setting at least.

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    I guess. That's the real question though, what would it even take? I'd probably do any 2 of Laf/Fox/Kakko/Kravtsov, any of our top D prospects, a roster player or two and 2 1sts. I'd throw in a third 1st if it meant keeping any of the preceding or another D or G (where EDM are weak) to keep a...

    I can't imagine so. Especially not when there is so much more for them to blame. Who knows though, hockey fans are weird. I see people on the Rangers trade board saying they don't want him for what he'd cost. That's just nuts, there's not much I wouldn't part with to get him to NY, and you make...

    Think i'm almost full circle on Mathews. I was a total fanboy his draft year, but his whole "fashion phase" and the drunken sexcapades kind of turned me away. Now he's kind of turning into a self aware meme like Kessel and i'm starting to come back around on him.

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    Yeah, Knight looked awesome. Handled the pressure like a pro. Sorokin had a monster game as well, kid stole that game for the Isles particularly in the 2nd. Jarry however.... atrocious giveaway in 2OT. I just can't see it with him, he somehow impresses me less than Murray did. Those Sid and...

    I won't pretend to know the particulars of the Caps' contract situation, but I know it's very not good. They weren't gonna blow it up after a cup and then covid muddied the water, but it should of been blown up. Easy said in retrospect, but if i'm the Caps brass i'm buying as many 2022/23 lotto...

    Yeah, I missed the comeback unfortunately but tuned in just in time for the OT goal. I honestly don't even know what they could do to get better at this point with that roster and those contracts

    AM is pretty good. Imagine being McDavid and comparing rosters? Yeah, that dude is as good as gone first chance he gets. Still plenty more hockey to play for both teams, but as far as Mathews v. McDavid goes they must be loving this up in Toronto.

    I'll be damned if i'm gonna sit here and let you besmirch Marchand's good name! May he punch many a Cap in the nads, I say!

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    Jarry looked terrible, none of the goals he let in were overly impressive. I put that loss on him. Thought the Pens actually played well, considering that's a tough matchup for them. Won't matter if their goaltending doesn't get better. Must suck watching Fluery stand on his head in Vegas, loss...

    Oh, for sure they're fucked if they make if out of division. Part of the process though, leafs are on track imo. This season was good for ironing out the kinks for alot of the "close" teams.

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    I'm a believer, Leafs are actually good this time. But i'm here for the laughs if they're bounced!

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    Probably past reconciliation with Eichel, but I wonder if they try and bring in Quinn to reunite them. Was his college coach. Honestly, they may as well tear it down and farm 1st round lottery tickets for '22, '23. The rebuild failed miserably, time to admit it and try again. I feel for the...

    The defending champs ain't the underdogs, i'm sorry. TB might be winning the season series if their best Center wasn't circumven.... err, resting for the playoffs. But jokes aside, you're right. Florida is legit this year. Still gotta favor TB though imo.

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    Gonna be a great series. Hitching my wagon with the underdogs. As for the Metro, guess i'm rooting for the Pens and B's. Fucking gross. Honestly no clue whose coming out of that division, it's anyones game but i'm thinking Boston if Rask finds his game.

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    Yeah, I think for the most part the performance bonus situation has really sorted itself out. There was a lot of taxi squad movement on off days that really circumvented alot of that and provided extra wiggle room. It's really just about nobody's like Blackwell, Rooney and Digiuseppe getting...

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    Exactly, Wahlstrom is the perfect example. Crazy he's still getting juggled on and off the taxi squad. It's an interesting subject though. Stutzle and J. Hughes are playing around 18 minutes a night and getting PP time, but losing most games and getting hammered in advanced stats. Kakko and Laf...

    To answer your question though, Ranger fans aren't happy with the kids' usage. AHL journeymen consistently getting more TOI than the kids he was brought in to develop. It's annoying, but literally every coach does this shit on every team.

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    Sports fans culture always seems to think the grass is greener elsewhere, when it's all just different shades of piss yellow. I don't hate Quinn, he's done well with an impossible job under unprecedented circumstances. He has some shortcomings, but it's literally impossible for a fan to know if...

    I can't believe I am reading Torts to NYR rumours, what year is it?? I don't see it happening, but interestingly enough now GM/President Chris Drury was Torts' team Captain his first year coaching here. Flat circle man, seems like only yesterday...

    Pretty sure everyone expected as much. I figure that was kind of the point, embarrass Bettman on national t.v. and backed the DoPS into a corner to prove a point. That's a night's bar tab for Dolan. Well done tbh, imagine defending Parros and the DoPS... Sadly we'll never get a good call go our...

    While I didn't Hate JG, his resume with us isn't all that impressive really. Aside from winning 2 lotto's and signing 2 mega FA's who only wanted to play here, he also Traded Mac and Miller for Howden and Hajek who are pretty terrible and a high 1st, Signed DeAngelo and Banished him 3 games into...

    What a retarded comment. I've never seen everyone in hockey outside of Washington so unanimously in agreement, but yeah enjoy your vacuum. I'd honestly expect more from you than a typical twitter troll post, not sure why in retrospect.

    Binnington back to being a psycho shmuck. Least likable current goaltender by a mile, sad he got a ring and Hank didn't... I can tell by your post that you are very handsome and well educated

    I've always liked Reinhart, crazy he's making half of what Skinner makes. Though I do kind of like Skinner too, that contract is nuts.

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    Yeah, Buffalo definitely outplayed us tonight but our goalie stole one. They are playing well lately for sure. Pretty sure they just recently beat Boston too so it's not impossible. Should be interesting if Varlamov is out long term as well.
  35. StoiCynic

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    Yeah there's a chance. They have 1 reg win since the tdl, but unfortunately it was against us... We just don't match up well against them, shutting up Ranger fans is their Stanley Cup. Plus they have Buf x2 and NJ x2 and we have Caps and B's. Gonna take a miracle, but still fun to be chasing...

    I know I said this early on, but I love what Kaprizov is doing in Minnesota. He's completely changed the look of that team. Great Hockey market, they deserve it.

    So apparently with Stamkos going on LTIR, Kucherov is now free to participate in full contact team practice? Idk the details yet, but this just gets more and more sketchy. Would be curious to see if they can shed cap to get him in some games before the playoffs. And by curious I mean outraged

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    Yeah, Boston just has too many vets who know how to play desperate in these situations. I'd be shocked if we managed to jump them unfortunately. Our last 2 games are against them (then they play Isles and Caps), should come down to the wire. We have them on the tiebreaker atm at least. Either...

    Rangers now rocking the best differential in the East. Not too shabby all things considered. A regular season and we'd be looking pretty good right now. Considering Panarin's impact and the games he missed, when we miss the playoffs by a few points it's literally because communism... fuckin'...
