Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

What's MSL's record behind the bench?

 

[Habsy]

Shots 39-14 and Isles up 2-0. Sounds about right.

Frenemy and his constant "we haven't had Price all year!" arguments will be funny if this holds up.

Tell him Sorokin was the one pulling the Price.

22 has always been my favourite number because of this guy. What an amazing talent. RIP.

Letter to My Younger Self | By Mike Bossy

Dear 14-year-old Mike. I write to you today as a 60-year-old man, and I have some news from the future that you probably aren’t going to believe.

His autobiography was great too

Tripping on the puck, landing face first and losing your front teeth is incompetence. Kicking the puck onto a Bruins stick is sub conscious bias.

If only there were emails showing the pro bruin bias
Oh wait

 

[worm]

Why is there ingrained bias to help the Bruins? I find that idea laughable. Kicking the puck due to a brain fart makes too much sense, adding in the conspiracy angle seems kinda goofy.

Why would it be laughable?

It is actually confirmed.

 

[worm]

We tend to get a little loony here at times. I do think there's some evidence that when Greg Campbell played on Boston, Colin's influence impacted some things in favor of Boston. I recall there being some emails thrown around by Colin strongly implying preferential treatment for Boston. I have no explanation why that would continue today though.

Jeremy Jacobs still runs things.

See patriots. Must be Mob.

Assume this ref is in on the conspiracy. Was he cc'd on the emails?

 

[hockeylover]

Think it's just incompetence myself.

However, if you're a professional sports league and have emails leaked where it reveals your officials favour one team and you never properly address it, these are the very obvious questions people will ask forever. Love hockey, find I hate this league so often though.

Two things while I’m watching this Pens Bruins game.

First, Crosby can still really skate.

Second, there’s only so much of Weekes that I can listen to without getting nauseous.

Is this the first time you're seeing Crosby play this year?

 

[zeke]

Everytime I convince myself that one of BOS or TB are preferable in round 1 and start cheering for them to win games I instantly star getting nervous about facing them when they do win.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

They both played fast, tough games. I’d for sure rather Pittsburgh, but they’d probably put up a decent fight too. There’s no easy target in the East, and despite Florida’s success, there’s no juggernaut either.

They good

 

[MindzEye]

Yeah I'm torn. On one hand, I'd rather face Boston because regardless of what their season SV% is, I'll take my chances against Swaymark rather than Vasilevsky (though, Vasy has a Fleuryesque habit of flaming out in the playoffs when he's making cup winning runs). On the other hand, PTSD is a motherfucker.

 

[axlsalinger]

I have no preference; there is no easy matchup, but no team we can't beat either.

[zeke]

The scary thing about BOS is that they have like the 30th ranked shooting percentage.

Much of that is due to shooting from anywhere I'm sure but it's still a bit scary.

The nice part about Patrick Swayze is that outside of today's game he's been pretty shit since the game against the leafs. Famous last words since it's the leafs and all but I'm not particularly scared of him. Ullmark is probably their guy.
