Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

[Habsy]

That’s their addiction program right?

 

[Leafin']

Probably addicted to pain killers and booze with all his hand injuries.

 

[LeafGm]

Could just be mental health issues too.

Dude's childhood/personal life was pretty goddamn wild.

 

[Preston]

Why is it always the Trump supporters who have a screw loose?

 

[Wayward DP]

That’s their addiction program right?

not exclusively. could be mental health or something different. but also could be substance abuse.

 

[Wayward DP]

from the CBC story:

The player assistance program was first offered in 1996 and is designed to help players and their families treat health issues, including substance abuse.

 

[Volcanologist]

No official name for the expansion Seattle team yet, so the internet has apparently decided on...

The Rain City Bitch Pigeons

 

[WellPlayed]

New fantasy hockey team name. Gracias.

The Rain City Bitch Pigeons

The pre rumour of the expansion team being interest in our old coach has already spawned a great headline online:

Bitch pigeons snatch 'cock

 

[Volcanologist]

doesn't matter what they get called now. too late.

 

[CH1]

My fave think about Hughson was that he constantly explained the line change icing rule year after year as if he was the only one who picked up on it.
Maybe he still does. Dunno because I rarely have the sound on anymore

 

[Habsy]

I think he does it to remind himself.

 

[MindzEye]

How long can the Islanders keep doing this with:

45.3% Possession (30th)
46.1% Scoring Chances For (28th)
51.6 HDCF% (11th)

Clearly they're playing a "bend but don't break" style, but even what they're good at, they're not elite at.

 

[BeLeafer]

A team primed for regression.

30th in SCA/60 and 26th in HDCA/60. Leaning hard on goaltending.

 

[JackBurton]

I still say they crash hard and miss the playoffs

 

[JackBurton]

If you want a relatively cheap DMan to acquire go for Big Buff. Jets can't ask for much and he has what, `1 more year left?
The concern is, how big is buff right bow sitting at home and eating?

 

[zeke]

Let's see what we've got first.

2.01xga/60 so far for keefe. Held both teams below their season xgf/60 average.

He has probably put on a lot of weight.

 

[JackBurton]

Only 6 more years after this one for Carey Price?
I don't want to see Andersen get some massive long-term deal until his late 30's.

 

[leaffan2005]

Damn the Habs blew a 4-0 lead eh?
