Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

BTW, since it's brought up so much this week with Iginla getting into the HHOF, that 2004 'Goal" by Gelinas would have never counted at all. Refs need it to be conclusive. It's far from it.

Its still hilarious that they picked Lowe over Mogilny and Alfie.

lowe doesn’t even make the hall if the very good. It’s an absolute joke he’s in there b

 

[LeafGm]

Someone like Kevin Lowe getting into the hall of fame is as clear a reminder as possible that the Hall of Fame mainly exists as a vehicle for the NHL’s old boys network to jerk each other off.

To be fair Lowe is also a mediocre to shit exec

 

[JackBurton]

And of course he needs to take a little dig at the Leafs. centre of the universe.

True. But I will say his 2006 deadline deals were the best ever by a GM. Brilliant.

The irony is that no team gets as much undeserved credit as the Oilers.

They've always allowed more clutching in the playoffs. That regular season was crazy with offensive numbers though. It started to creep into the regular season the next year when Lemaire was hired by Jersey.

It's kind of funny the playoff reputation Yzerman had in 93 compared to now.

 

[Kritter]

thats what a cup or two will do for ya

Yzerman is exactly why you don’t dump Marner and Matthews.

Yes.
