The Fantastically Beautiful Joyously Superfun 22-23 Season Celebration Thread

How do you go from bottom pair Vancouver D to to pair Toronto D?

Ignore the order. I don't really think there is a top or bottom pair there; it's not really how this d-corps is built.

 

[MindzEye]

Replacing Mo seems to be the only idea we ever have to "fix" the PP and then it always, always gets worse.

 

[Volcanologist]

If Mo isn't on PP1 then I'm not sure I can justify 7.5mx8 years. Wouldn't mind giving it a look and mixing it up once in awhile though maybe, yeah.

what a horrible contract that's going to be.

ever since this franchise started to finally care about defensive play, Rielly sticks out like a sore thumb.

Jesus, you guys gonna be okay?

Fair

what a horrible contract that's going to be.

23rd highest paid defender in the league, top 10 offensive defender. He's more than fine with a bit of sheltering.

Probably not, based on past history

When did you become the calm voice of reason?

 

[MindzEye]

I'll fucking show you the calm voice of reason.

FWIW:
Crouse is at a 1.86P/60 rate at 5 on 5 - this is a fair amount worse than Jarnkrok
Schmaltz is at 2.44 - this is around Tavares level with a fair bit of luck involved due to a high S% and on-ice S%

Angry voice of reason? You’re practically the Raptors PR man in that thread

DailyFaceoff says his linemates are Maccelli? and McBain. Yikes.

Jarnkrok's most common even strength linemates....by a lot....are Tavares and Marner.

Crouse's most common even strength linemates....by even more...are Nick Bjugstad & Mattias Macelli

I'm going to suggest that QoT is the reason Jarnkrok is cruising way, way above his normal P/60 rates this season. He's been roughly 1.5-1.6 P/60 over the last few years, while having soft play driving numbers and hilarious career playoff futility.

Bjugstad is being held out with a lower trade related injury.

For sure, QOT is crucial especially for guys who aren't line drivers like Crouse. He would be better in Toronto. Still impressed with Schmaltz though, despite the very good luck contributing to those numbers.

They've earned it.

Period of relocation reflection

"hey you, big dummy, yeah you. Go stand in front of the fucking net and give the midget a body part of bank pucks off of"

35 goals a year later....
