Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

I will say... its nice to argue about the teams again. Hopefully we get a playoff round in against eachother soon

 

[Habsy]

A better Montreal team is good for hockey. Same for Toronto and the other O6 teams.

 

[Killer93]

Habs will do very well this season as long as Price/Weber can stay healthy.

 

[soco22]

Our bottom 6 is actually going to be a match up advantage pretty much every night

u mean like to shutdown a top line?

 

[soco22]

But why? Did he dream of playing in buffalo as a kid? No bed sheet picture.

habs don’t have a top guy (could say top 10ish forward in the league) for him to pair with a rack in the free points and get a mega deal on next contract

Price has to be better in the regular season than he has for the last 3 years.

How the hell do I know? I don't even know if they tried.

 

[Habsy]

They didn't. They asked what he was looking for them never tended an offer.

 

[Habspatrol]

u mean like to shutdown a top line?

No, I mean that our 3rd and 4th line will have more talent than pretty much any other team.

Man, Pittsburgh really likes Rielly's shitty ex-defense partners, eh?

First Hunwick, now Ceci.

They also like giving us Rielly's shitty partners - Hainsey.

To be fair, Hainsey was probably the best regular defense partner Rielly's had in his NHL career so far.

As sad as that is.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

All I know is that when we had Hainsey, I would wish that our 2 minute minors could've been 3 minutes or more just so that he'd never have to leave the ice.

He was THAT good.

 

[Preston]

Fuck off. He's real good

 

[zeke]

Meh. Great numbers in extreme sheltering.

Only 1 year he's had non-buttersoft minutes was 18-19. Spot the outlier:

17-18: +.18xgfrel (-4.9qoc)
18-19: -.19xgfrel (+1.7qoc)
19-20: +.33xgfrel (-20.9qoc)

Boston may be making a mistake this year not realizing how crucial Chara taking the most extreme minutes in the league was for the rest of the defense.

 

[LeafGm]

Have they decided not to bring Chara back?

I always figured he’d keep playing there on one year deals for as long as he felt like it.

Oh come on, they can't just keep going with him forever. Or can they?

 

[LeafOfFaith]

**** off. He's real good

Meh.

And they already had him. I'm more interested in who they're going to add.

I saw some stuff about Hoffman, which I really wouldn't like since I'm a big fan of his.
