sabremike Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 First statement is a demonstrable lie, the second statement is among the most ludicrously stupid things I have ever seen. Of course cross-team transmission of an airborne virus is possible you dipshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elizium Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) Ehlers Scheifele Copp Vesalainen Stastny Wheeler Connor Dubois Lewis Perreault Lowry Appleton Toninanto Gustafsson This is apparently the line combos Maurice is going to be running with Dubois coming in the lineup. Interesting, clearly going for depth, rather than stacking the top 2 lines, a third line with Connor could be deadly. Big opportunity for Vesalainen, he's not looked great in limited minutes in less than half a dozen games, but his promise is huge. Curious to see how long Wheeler and Scheifele remain split up, it usually doesn't happen for long as *supposedly* Scheif pouts when they're not together, but Wheeler is getting near unplayable at 5v5 e: just noticed i wrote "dozen" and not "half a dozen" about Vesa Edited February 7, 2021 by elizium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 if they run all four lines equally, it's going to be difficult for anyone to match that depth in the North. if the 4th line gets treated like a 4th line, it's not enough playing time for them, Lowry and Appleton have been really good so far this year. My fantasy booking had Wheeler on the 3rd line with Lowry, until he remembered how to play defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gun to head, I think Maurice would say he's his favourite player on the team. Maybe Copp... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Torts hasn't won a Stanley Cup in 16 years so it's only another 25 or so until the hockey men realize he's past his expiry date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Torts is somehow already unhappy with Laine off the ice so a lazy effort on defense was enough to earn him a seat on the pine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Due to COVID completely fucking with the schedule - the Blues and Coyotes are now in a stretch where they will play each other 7 straight times The have played 4 times already in St Louis - the 4th game was yesterday. They will now both be off until Friday and then play Friday, Saturday and Monday in Arizona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 The Edmonton/Montreal game tonight is currintly in a 1-hour delay to give time on the results of a COVID test. Jesse Puljujarvi wasn't at Oilers practice this morning, so those could be related. If it's a positive, it's the first one in Canada this season.

Death From Above Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Leafs blew a 5-1 lead to the Senators, who are on pace to be one of the worst teams in the last 50 years. That's good shit, pal. Evgeni Dadanov is honestly a delightful player. At least Sens fans have that guy and Stutzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Their goaltending has been just off the charts bad, especially for this era. Matt Murray is rocking a 3.69 GAA and a .882 sv%. Marcus Hogberg 4.32 GAA and a .860 sv%, this is some expansion Senators level stuff. Part of this is that the team defense is nonexistant but it's not like they're doing a lot to help themselves either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I mean yes, leading the only division playing all of their games is going to put you in good standing. Pretty much every single accumulation stat is in the hands of someone in Canada right now which is kind of fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
