Around the League 2019-2025 Edition

Playing in Edmonton and losing has aged McDavid terribly. I'd bet quite a bit he fucks off to a big US market where hockey is like the number 3 or 4 sport. Kings, Rangers....
Losing in the final and going to the conference finals and perhaps another trip to the finals isn't what ages you and it demonstrates that "losing" is a relative term. The Leafs would love to have the Oilers playoff record.

If losing game 7 of the finals ages you, what does getting punted in the first or second round for 9 straight years do to you? Matthews should be bald by now.

To be fair, he is working on it.
 
Blashill hired in Chicago.

If anyone can point to anything he did during 7 years in Detroit i'd like to hear about it.
If he had done anything he'd be harder to fire the minute a better candidate turns up. The Hawks suck and are going to keep sucking for a while. No point hiring a top-flight coach now. Blashill won't be throwing sticks on the ice or having meltdowns in the dressing room. He's just going to do what he did in Detroit. X and O the shit out of his players while probably never raising his voice. He's a stop-gap, a place-holder, until someone better comes along and the team is ready to break out.
