Quoting: mondo
dare i say the leafs are buzzing again


Did you watch that game mondo?
* Several SJ breakaways from barely ECHL calibre skaters
* N Robertson was one of the best players and he's a "black-ace" most nights chugging pressbox popcorn
* Best pass of the night was A. Dell pad-pass to a weak 4th-liner GWG; that finds him second in 'must-trade' posts on CF (puck drop @ ctr)
* Score was 1-1 w/ less than 5 to go...to SJ basement dwellers.

Hardly b-u-z-z-i-n-g - lucky 2pts @ best.
Enjoy

The club has to get going OG.
West is weak as fook and the Oil-leakers are WC#1...

Not acceptable!

In general in the Pacific only VGK goalies are doing well

Nobody else has good/stable goaltending

Its basically score your problems away over there

Wonder whose gonna be Ottawa's head coach come January


They're obviously not going to make the playoffs, so why wait any longer to make the change? Might as well get a head start on next year and start developing some semblance of a defensive system. All they're doing now is ingraining bad habits.

The days of handing middle tier Goalies $5M+ AAV contracts may be coming to an end. Theses deals seem to blow up much more often than they pay off.

Wolanin is tearing it up in the AHL. I see no reason why tank commander Stillman is in the NHL instead of him...

His play in the NHL last year makes me think he won't be much better than Stillman

Idk, I don't have a lot of faith after watching him get benched after a period against Washington (and then getting waived the next day iirc)

Stillman is bad though

Always an argument in English class whos better. Igor or Sorokin.

Imo it’s Sorokin. Best goalie in the league. And one of the best contracts took. 4 milx3 is a steal.

It's not. There's little to no new features, the story mode is still the same for like the 3rd year, the gameplay is worse IMO because the game prevents you from actually defending because you can't even pokecheck and sticklift without getting an automatic penalty.

Unless you'd actively use the custom league feature, just stick with 22

Evander Kane might be out for the entire season as apparently the feeling in his thumb and fingers has not returned and healing is going slower than expected

Bellows sucks tbh, He needs more time in the AHL to develop. I guess yea he has some Talent but he just does not do much of anything, nothing to negative or positive. Barely could create offense with Philly. I wouldn't be mad if he was claimed bc it would open up a contract spot.
