Thorny Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Giroux and Voracek are deadly, Couturier is an elite defensive center who happens to be having a career year scoring a point per game, Simmonds is his usual self, and they've got some good young depth pieces like Patrick and Konecny who are starting to take advantage of the cushy minutes they get behind those guys. On D, they have 2-3 very good young players (and a bunch of garbage that will keep them from going too far, along with in goal). Once they get the rest of their nice young stable of defensemen integrated over the corpses, they'll be incredible if Giroux and Voracek are still good. Seriously, how much better is the East going to be than the West, soon? If not already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Apparently you can still buy tickets as of right now. Sheesh. Currently watching Stars-Blues. Dallas D is getting torn up, but Ben Bishop is stopping pucks, still 0-0. Amazing concept. Yeah, I'm a tad bitter. Annapolis is not an ideal venue for an NHL game.

stuuuuuuuuu Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Everybody: do yourself a failure and google Cam Fowler flying. Or similar verbs. Total meltdown just now in Anaheim-Columbus game. He covered himself in the opposite of glory... I couldn't find anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pi2000 Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 But then it would just be the actual logo upside down. It's slightly more off-putting this way, which I like. I see scissors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Am I the only one who is just now finding out there's an outdoor game tonight? I just found out by reading your post at 9:38. And I think I'm starting to like the way that outdoor games look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 So how much did the Navy/taxpayers pay for this game? The are playing on an aircraft carrier FFS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampD Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Is there any reason they don't use clear dasher boards for these outdoor games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Annapolis is not an ideal venue for an NHL game. I've been looking for an attendance number for that game and can't find one. Just an estimate of 40K. Curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 But what's his plus minus :flirt: His minus is always a plus :flirt: Oh, and his stat is -8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 But what's his plus minus :flirt: In the 29 game stretch I believe he has 0G, 3A, -14. I know you were joking haha. Chiarelli is the worst GM in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampD Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 In the 29 game stretch I believe he has 0G, 3A, -14. I know you were joking haha. Chiarelli is the worst GM in the league. I'm pretty sure he has like 5 years at 6+MM left on his contract,as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabel79 Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 And a full no-move clause for the next three seasons. Modified no-trade after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Lucic has no goals in his last 29 games. Read something recently (was it posted here?), he has admitted that he needs to show up next season much lighter. He knows the game he is built for is no longer a thing. He needs to drop like 30-40lbs for next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't think that Lucic is going to work his way into being a 40 goal guy that can again be considered fast, but I do think he can become a serviceable NHL player that isn't TOO far removed from just-post-prime Lucic.

WildCard Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) Yeah, I don't think that Lucic is going to work his way into being a 40 goal guy that can again be considered fast, but I do think he can become a serviceable NHL player that isn't TOO far removed from just-post-prime Lucic. He has 11 points when not paired with McDavid https://frozenpool.dobbersports.com/frozenpool_production.php?chkForward=checkbox&selForward=L.ALUCIC%2CMILAN&situation=ALL&games=2017-2018%3AR%3A99&Submit=Show+Line+Production&sent=go Something like that. Yep. Ovie did it and looks great this year, so it's possible. Speaking of Ovie, he got his 40th goal last night already. Amazing. That's just absurd. Really hope this guy can finally win a Cup Edit: Ovechkin averages 46 goals a season, over a 13 year NHL career; that's including the lockout year (excluding it it's 47/season). He sits at 598 total career goals, 20th of all time; he turns 33 in September. He probably has 6 years, left, and maybe, what? 150 goals left in him? That would put him at 4th all time, behind only Gretzky, Howe and Jagr. He's arguably a top 5 forward of all time, and he's doing it in an era where scoring is harder than ever. It will be interesting to see if he plays a few more seasons to pass Jagr Edited March 5, 2018 by Jokertecken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that prime Lucic includes running goalies and punching women, just post-prime Lucic is as good as it'll ever get. Of course, there have been no hockey media-wide discussions of Lucic's "character". Wonder why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
