Around the League 2019-2025 Edition

Yeah thats the same as giving up 2 with the goalie pulled, 1 with 1.4 seconds left.

The Jets won the President's Trophy. This was no plucky underdog story. This was a first overall team that simply did its job and beat an 8th seed. The fact that it took them 7 games plus double overtime to do it should not be celebrated. It's kind of a failure, in fact. This series should have been over in 4 or 5 games max.

Rob Bake done in L.A.

News from 2025 that sounds like it should be from 2020.

I didnt know Luc Robitaille was President.

Is LA trying to do it the Oiler way?

What legend is left to gift a job? Bernie Nichols?

Rob Bake done in L.A.

He was brutal.

LAs drafts were overrated. They had a stacked system with years of top 10 pics, but their best player is Kempe. None of those guys became stars.

Except the one they traded for Fiala.

They also drafted Kopitar.

 

[mbow30]

he played with Blake.

They’ve done a good job of surrounding doughty and kopitar with some really solid players. But the problem is that those two are still there best two players.

They also drafted Kopitar.

20 years ago. Blake was still playing.

 

[JackBurton]

The issue is they drafted more support guys and not real stars. They are relying on Doughty/Kopitar too much still. Some bad trades as well.

History of hockey trades by general manager Rob Blake - NHL Trade Tracker

Trade record is fairly poop.

 

[JackBurton]

That PLD trade...Jesus. He also traded Durzi for fairly cheap to make cap room for PLD.

This playoffs has actually been pretty good so far for other teams doing Leafy shit.

The Avs getting lit the fuck up by a former player en route to losing their seventh consecutive game seven.

Minnesota losing its seventh consecutive first-round series.

Los Angeles losing their fifth consecutive first round series and fourth in a row against the Oilers.

St-Louis blowing a two goal lead in the last two minutes of a game seven, then losing in OT.

Maybe if enough other teams do enough Leafy shit there won't be any Leafy shit left over for the Leafs to do?


Nah, that's wishful thinking, they'd find a way.

How is this the first time they have done this live.

 

[zeke]

Islanders

that's fine. they never tanked and don't have a history of getting high picks so good on them.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Utah moves to 4

San Jose locks in 2

Yeah, they stink the honorable way, and presumably with Lou gone will make a pick thats not terrible
