Around The League: Playoffs 2026

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Fucking Penguins won again.

Celebrini ran riot over the Rags

 

[AH$$$]

Imagine all the awesome surfs we could have had.

Cooley over Slaf.
Michkov over Reinbacher
Nazar over Dach

So replace Michkov with Leonard.

Redenbacher will be fine … a draft is for longterm success not 2-4 years after

Maybe . . . but that will require him to develop, which requires him to actually not get injured every 10 games for long periods of time, which he has not yet shown the ability to do.

Sure. The GM would have to trade some. Michkov for a 2C

Heineman just scored his 4th goal. What did we do?

Wrong guy to throw in. Knew it at the time.

This. I really didn't want to get rid of him at this time. He played his way onto the team last year and showed intangibles, at least until he got run over in the parking lot or wherever. Looked like he might be able to play a variety of roles. Good eye by the Islanders.

Are people forgetting he went from January to game 5 against Washingtomln without scoring?

Not saying he was top six but he uses the body, excellent pk, very good shot etc. would be an excellent third liner.

I’m thinking they had to cough him up to outbid Columbus who also offered 2 firsts and a player.

Dobson was expensive.

I think Heineman impressed a lot of folks...we both really liked him but two late firsts was not enough for a young top pairing RD like Dobson.

And then we traded a prospect to get Bolduc (Heineman upgrade)

Hard to knock Hughes here, IMO

But Marty needs to play Bolduc more.

 

[Habsy]

Where?

He’s buried on the fourth line.

Ovechkin 7 points in 8 games and a +6. WTF

Steroids are good

This is whining about losing Eller or Lehkonen all over again. Bottom six guys like that literally grow on trees. We got a #1 RHD in return and locked him up long term. We won that trade.hands down.

Calgary's season is essentially over. They'd need to go about 20 games above .500 the rest of the season just to be in the hunt for WC 2 in the Western Conference. Obviously not happening. They have almost no talent other than Parekh and Wolf.

Conroy is being very stealth about trying to bring McKenna back to his WHL roots…

Too bad Habs didn’t end up Cgy’s 2026 1st rounder

Malkin has 12 points in 8 games. Sid has 6 goals and 11 points. These old bastards are killing it.
