Mikael Granlund is quietly having a stellar year


Dont speak of his name it makes me sad

God dammit Nashville had to barely make the playoffs last season

Would have been the perfect fill in for 2c after the JT accident

The majority of the players Holland brought in weren't that good before, but they've been even worse under Tippett. One saving grace is giving Puljujarvi more opportunities than McLellan did.

I'm interested as to what play Hamilton was hurt on. I wasn't watching players/the benches too closely until late in the first (when i realized he was missing), and I only saw him for one shift.

Also Hischier played that great a game on a broken foot? I'm impressed

Best advice

Holland should be fired this summer as he had 30mill to fix them and blew it. He can take Tippett with him

If they are testing again must be the rapid test as if it was the PCR then he would have to be quarantined

He wasnt at Mondays practice either for the Rangers game yet played a few hours later. If its confirmed they knew something was up before the game but still played him man its not gonna look good.

Anyways after watching the way he put on his mask or heck sometimes didnt wear a mask at all kind of not surprised

Virtual school is great. Also why do some of the caps wins feel like losses. For example the Detroit and Nashville games recently. We haven’t been playing well but continue to get points. That makes me mad.

with the amount you complain about the caps you’d think they’re in the basement lol, they’re literally tied for first in the league right now. Just relax and enjoy your team succeeding. Don’t ever get mad that they’re getting points unless you want to tank, otherwise you’ll never be happy lmao

Its hard to enjoy it with all these injuries and the stupid power play. It’s gotten to the point where I’m sad when there is a powerplay. It’s that bad. But your right I can’t take this for granted because it’s not gonna to last forever.

It's classic Laviolette. Preds PP was also dreadful when he was there.

We’ve been doing the same thing for years and it’s very predictable now. The stupid slingshot formation entering the zone doesn’t work. It’s needs to change. There has been only two times where the caps lost of more than a goal. If we can get the powerplay going we would win a ton more games. Also 3 on 3 hockey for us is terrible.

Decided to try and get a few cups for McDavid and Draisaitl on NHL 21. CBJ offered me Merzlikins and a 3rd for a 2nd 4th and Rodrigue. Should I do it?

The Maple Leafs
Both have blue/white as the colors, are the most popular teams in the sport, have crazy fans, can't get far in the playoffs, haven't won in a long time, and are extremely top-heavy
