Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

[MindzEye]

Kane needs to hire you as his lawyer. Or at least hype man.

I mean, immediately believing in rando stories we've heard but won't mention specifics of is kind of part of the overall problem that I argue against in general, whether it's Kane or others who don't fit the mold.

You know what they say... Guilty until proven innocent!




unless they're white

Simmonds plays the white way.

 

[leafman101]

Kane is a piece of shit. Ho-Sang is a much better example. If it wasn't for the Leafs he'd probably never get a shot and just because he's different.

 

[Wayward DP]

Honestly, that clip gets worse and worse with each passing year.

Even aside from the “plays the white way” Freudian slip, that commentary is one long codeword-packed speech saying “this player acts like they come from a different cultural background than the prototypical white, laconic farmboy hockey robot from Saskatchewan that I want every player in this league to be, and it makes me uncomfortable”.

no outsiders allowed in the old boys club

One one hand - HEH

on the other hand - darnit

 

[hockeylover]

Obviously the right move but yeah, definitely a little heh, since we just heard all summer about the playoffs being proof that was the wrong way to build.

It's been a great year to be a Habs fan....highly entertaining cup run followed by a 180 degree regime change

Ultimately it's what's best... probably have some hurt coming first though.

 

[hockeylover]

It's pretty awesome the Islanders are still so fucking bad.

looks like they did need him after all

With any luck we can grab a legit stud in the draft. I'll take a couple years of hurt if we can legitimately rebuild.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Your chances of doing so have exponentially increased by chucking out that rotting garbage that was your management team.

 

[uncus]

Keep the great examples ....
I want a Stanley Cup. Get Kane.
Kane AM and Marner.

Oilers lose, leafs scoot up into 3rd overall.

Behind the scary looking Panthers....and the somehow still winning Rangers.

Leafs got their minds set on blue (shirts)

Gorton is taking over the same situation as Yzerman did in Detroit

It’s going to be 3-5 years minimum

Needs to start unwinding some bad contracts , and draft a better base of players

Most of the roster will be gone in 2-3 years

Needs to start with the retool/rebuild plan and complete it , no more bandaids

[CTheBigPicture]

Gorton feels like Habs version of Shanahan.

Gorton feels like Habs version of Shanahan.

That would be great news. no need to worry about Montreal for at least another 8 years.
