  1. That team should be worried about having to go through the Rangers.
  2. Bennet? Sam Bennet? He of the 34 points? Mean Reinhart?
  3. Numbers wise he's better than last year, but it would have been hard to be worse. The Athletic's player card rates him as a $2M defenseman, for whatever that is worth. They value Key almost right at his contract, and Fox at $14M.
  4. It's like having pneumonia and missing the days when it was just an upper respiratory infection.
  5. Lots of people here predicted this team would be a bubble team for various reasons. None of the predictions led to bubbliness. However, this season, shit happened. Injuries Bad goaltending stretches Bad PP stretches Uneven 5v5 play And they've been at the top of the league and #1 in the division all year. They get contributions from everywhere. They're never out of games. They win in bunches but never lost more than 3 in a row and pretty sure they only did that once this season? Either way no one could have predicted how good this team would be. They are a legitimate contender.
  6. 1. Artemi Panarin 2. Adam Fox 3. Vincent Trocheck 4. Alexis Lafrenière 5. Igor Shesterkin 6. Mika Zibanejad 7. Jonathan Quick 8. Chris Kreider 9. K'Andre Miller 10. Braden Schneider 11. Kaapo Kakko 12. Jimmy Vesey 13. Zac Jones +1 14. Will Cuylle -1 15. Matt Rempe 16. Jack Roslovic 17. Erik Gustafsson 18. Alexander Wennberg 19. Barclay Goodrow 20. Jonny Brodzinski 21. Chad ## Cuylle -3 last night....Jones was great. Moved Jones up one so he was right underneath Cuylle, then dropped Cullye down one.
  7. Entire line was quiet for 2 games now. It's almost like trying the one thing that hasn't been tried yet, should be tried...
  8. You should go back and look at last years garden of dreams GDT, because I think that joke is recycled.
  9. What a gutty win. Team is missing half it's regular defense and their 3rd Line C who also PKs ... And they just keep finding a way to win. They definitely have an aura or mystique this season. The stats are going to be ugly, but this defense has even ME wanting to see Trouba back... Take the win on the playoff berth and turn the page. Get healthy.
  10. I have no idea what Hyman's backstory is and if that's true about his parents buying a league, but at the end of the day, what is he saying that's not true? If you've got hyper-rich parents who are paying for elite training, do you not have an advantage? He has spent his whole career with Matthews and McDavid. There are players with much more talent who work just as hard who aren't in the NHL. He wouldn't be scoring 50 goals if he played with first line center Boone Jenner. These aren't really hot takes. It's actually pretty ballsy to say it out loud though.
  11. I don't think anyone there will know any other name aside from Rempe.
  12. Did you see what I bolded? There's no indication of any leadership ability. He's curt with the media, when he talks to them. That doesn't scream "letter" to me. Fox is probably next man up for the C.
  13. If they did a recall, there's no better time, at least you know it's fixed haha.
  14. Look at Mazda as well, the CX-90 is dope. Make sure you get the captain's chairs and not the 2nd row bench.
  15. No LOL, Panarin, Fox, Mika and the powerplay helped him. GG didn't coach anyone.
  16. Only gonna watch if Will Smith slaps Martin.
  17. NHL Network did a great breakdown on what Lafreniere is doing g differently, and it's mostly about his confidence and willingness to hold onto the puck and make plays. That wasn't there in prior years. He would make weak plays and thoughtless dump ins. Maybe some of it is Panarin, hard to prove. What's clear is that he's having the table set for him by Panarin in ways that it wasn't by Chytil, so there are definitely more offensive opportunities and space playing with an MVP calibre center vs Chytil.
  18. I don't think he was ever even part of the conversation to be honest.
  19. Panarin has been on similar paces twice before for the Rangers. He just didn't play the full season, therefore he never scored 100 points. The only thing that's unprecedented for him is the goal scoring, which we all know is because he's shooting more, which doesn't have much to do with his line mates. That's a personal choice, and we know that because we've seen him make the opposite choice a couple of times lately and pass when he should have shot.
  20. Copp is irrelevant to the conversation. He's playing a different role and with nowhere near the level of talent.
  21. Where in the rules does it I need to quote you directly? If I want to reply to a point without directly engaging you so that we can spend the rest of the night repeating ourselves, that's within my right to do so. I didn't directly quote you because I don't like engaging with you. But Phil won't let us ignore mods.
