No Excuses No Limits! The mother fucking goddamn season thread

LIst of dmen on teams that are out of it with > 33% dsf, plus rel xGF% and 17+ mins 5v5 (Top 90ish) . And it does not include players teams wouldn't trade like Guhle and Faber.


Mario Ferraro
Alex Vlasic
Henry Thrun
Noah Hanifin
Artem Zub

Zub, Hanifin and Ferraro are the only ones with > 0.9 5v5 p/60.

Brodin just misses the DSZ (31%) and Tanev just misses TOI, and points.

Hanifin, Brodin, Zub are obvious targets. Ferraro is kind of interesting though, because he is 25, signed cheap for 3 years and his numbers on the surface are terrible. But he gets 38% dzf on maybe the worst team ever.

Vlasic is an absolute beauty imo. I don't think they'd trade him tho. He's their best D.

Austin came out of the weekend looking really good. Just a cool, nice dude. They should be marketing him way harder in the US. He should be hosting SNL with Beibs.

I don't love watching ASGs usually but I think by all accounts and from the bit I saw, it seemed the NHL did a good job with this one. I recognize their choices aren't really geared towards me in my late 30s. Bieber and Tate McCrae are fairly big deals though and I think the jerseys seemed to really appeal to the younger crowd.
 
Speaking of the AS weekend, I took a few non hockey fan families and kids to the weekend's fanfair. They had an amazing time. I was even asked which city will host next year's AS game so they can go to their fan fair.

Great job by the NHL. Hopefully, we made a new fan or two this weekend from this group.

Yeah, bitching about the all-star game, the all-star festivities or skills comp as an adult is pretty dumb. The whole production is definitely all for the kids.


(which also makes a guy like Kucherov an even bigger asshole, imo)

I dunno what Kucherov did this time but yup, confirmed asshole.

Also agreed re the kids thing. I went to the ASG in 2000 in Toronto and I'm still here talking to you fuckers 24 years later.

He took part in the skills competition, but he made it crystal clear to everyone watching that he didn’t give a shit, didn’t want to be there and was putting in no effort whatsoever.

And 24 years, good God. Almost a quarter of a century that some of us have been posting together on some variation of this website or another.

So you're saying it's a bad idea to take a kid to the Allstars game?

Also re: athletes and kids... I've noticed that most guys have trouble with kids until they have kids of their own. Even my brother in law is worried about holding my son and he will be having his own kid in a few months.
 
Jarnkrok has an actual broken bone, right? That would mean an easy LTIR i think? wouuld give us plenty of room to call anyone up.

If they don't want to LTIR him they could send down Lagesson for a forward.
