Around the League 2019-2026 Edition

[BG]

Best case scenario I think is, Bussi gets the net the rest of the series, series goes 7 and Marner is quiet in a game 7 loss.

Alright, so game 6 loss works.

Goddamn what a relief this all is.

And now the stuff that actually matters starts.

RIP 2025-2026. You were absolute shit until the very end there, and now I'll remember you fondly.

Rid us of Bundy and Biff.

Brought Mats back into the fold.

1st overall.

Mitchie cements his reputation and ends up empty-handed in the ultimate cosmic tease.

Freddie wins a Cup but in the most pathetic, fraudulent way.

Quite the season.

What a great season for the Leafs:

- got rid of playoff loser Mitch Marner
- got rid of Pizza Boy
- got rid of Berubee
- won draft lotto to pick younger cheaper nastier Mitch

somehow i doubt we see a mitch interview tonight.

what about those dark times, though?

 

[CH1]

It's mostly systems. Ehlers, Hall, Stankoven, all come in from elsewhere and not exactly with stellar defensive reputations. Most of the forwards are fucking midgets, etc.

Systems matter.

The players still need to dig in

Gary sounds like he's selling us a used car here trying to convince us that Staal should win the Conn Smythe.

Guys, he's super old, and this is hard, and he's uh, really nice, and he smells good, and he's like, so old for this.

No Frills goaltending wins another Cup!

Sure, but easier to do when you believe in the system you're playing. Carolina plays fast, relatively skilled, possession dominant hockey and they've filled their roster with players who want to play that style. Tough to be want to dig in when you're a skilled guy and your coach is trying to get you to dump and chase, and chase, and chase, and chase.

Dude, this is food bank goaltending.

 

[CH1]

Slavin and Staal have me reconsidering my atheism

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Haha. Brind'Amour just said "Freddie was a little nicked up, but got us here."

A "little nicked up" - and missed the rest of the series.

Cup parade is scheduled for Mayberry

The fact that Slavin is apparently a real Jesus freak is explaining the fact that his kid (who’s currently playing against the Marlies in the final) is named “Josiah”.

Goaltending being the story is just reaching for an old boilerplate

Apparently?

He mentioned Jesus/God 23 times in his short interview
