Me and justaboss were crunching numbers.


Ovi 65 goal season, he scored 27,3 percent of our goals,

Toronto scored 312 goals in 21-22 when Matthews scored 60...
19.2 percent
27.3% of that 312 goals is 85 goals
07-08 ovi would be so dominant rn


When Gretzky hit 92 goals that year he was only 22% of his teams goals.


Ovi= best goal scorer of all time


We were crunching some numbers = I were crunching numbers and you were stealing the clout tears of joy

Now that I think of it, when was the last time the cup favourites actually won the cup? Playoffs are always unpredictable


Last year. And the year before that.

Colorado and Tampa were such juggernauts.

Happy lottery day

I've been preparing for the crushing disappointment of losing the lottery again

If I had to predict what happens to the Habs at the lottery, we either fall to 6, or move up to 2

Not sure how you’re going to go from 8th last to a contender when you have limited assets to use for trade

not having 10 million injuries next year is a start

edit: also not having a coach who has both thumbs stuck up his ass

Just think, a few years from now:

Gaudreau - Bedard - Laine
Johnson - Sillinger - Dumais
Chinakhov - Jenner - Marchenko
Kuraly - Voronkov - Danforth

NIGHTMARES. PERSONIFIED.

I want:
- the Canucks to win the lottery cus they never have won it before and they are overdue + Bedard seem to be a fan of the team and I'm fond of the idea of players getting drafted by their favorite teams
- CBJ to win the lottery cus a super talented superstar like Bedard is something the team has never really had before and that poor fanbase deserve it
- Yotes to win the lottery for similar reasons as CBJ (and it'd upset a lot of hockey fans actively hoping for their relocation, which would amuse me)

I wouldn't hate it if Sharks or Ducks won it cus they are just regular teams going through their standard, inoffensive rebuild.
I wouldn't hate it if Caps won it either cus I don't harbor any particular malice against them and it'd be cool to see Bedard playing with Bäckström and Ovechkin. Besides the Caps are gonna be mediocre for most of Bedard's tenure there (like McDavid in Edmonton) so they wouldn't automatically become a dynasty by having Bedard.

I'd hate it if:
- the Blackhawks won the lottery cus they're a garbage organization and I've never liked the team much anyway.
- the Flyers, Blues or Red Wings won the lottery cus I've always disliked these teams. especially the Flyers
- Habs cus I've never liked them and I'd hate for them to get a do over right away from selecting an obvious bust in Slafkovsky at #1 the year before (i'm sure this take won't age badly at all)

You know, I think the only team I would hate getting Bedard is Washington, they don't deserve another franchise talent, I would rather Chicago and Vancouver don't get Bedard due to them being bad organizations ( of course lobbing Vancouver with Chicago is slightly unfair, Vancouver isn't as bad )
