Thee Officialle 2021 NHL Season Thread: Catch the Fever!

[Cacophony]

Blooz stonk. Wild can just cruise and will probably play VGK in the first round. So maybe a change (doubtful) but another loss in the first 2 rounds. That's fine as long as nothing is really given up in any trades which (thankfully) BG isn't going to do. Progress I suppose.

[Cacophony]

The Avs are so good I really am not enjoying this.

[Cacophony]

Welp I'm done

[Cacophony]

Oh nice I missed the cross check prior to Saad actually scoring. Goes well with the 2 trips that weren't called in the 1st by the Avs. Fuck them.

[Cacophony]

Gonna watch the Coyotes game instead.

[Cacophony]

Although I will absolutely love watching these Av brats getting their asses handed to them to a team like the Blot if they meet up. I know the West was supposed to be tough but they are playing decimated teams and will not be able to cave in teams later.

[bonertowne]

(they've also had a lot of injuries)

[bonertowne]

Anyhow, I'm not convinced they have enough size on the backline to keep top level opponents away from the net. They have a difficult time handling bigger teams and can't take them for a track meet. I like them but feel like they're a guy or two short of being a Cup favorite like Vegas (the town not the team) thinks they are.

Seems like you need a Patrik Nemeth reunion

Maybe with a Marc Staal stowaway

[bonertowne]

I liked Zadorov.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Colin Blackwell has ten goals?

[Cacophony]

(they've also had a lot of injuries)

Oh absolutely. I was just being a huge baby because I was frustrated that my favorite (inferior) team was getting piled on again.

Crazy to think what the Avs record would be if they had been healthier this year.

[Cacophony]

Anyways I'm working at the local public library tomorrow night so you'll all be spared my crybaby bs if the same result occurs!

[Alexei Ca$hin]

So Nylander has had a close contact with a Covid case outside of the team and can't play, but the rest of the Leafs still can?

Sure, makes sense to me.

[captain]

Isles loading up :trotz:

[Grand Moff Larkin]

I forgot how long Zajac had been a Devil

[bonertowne]

Minny with the most dangerous lead.

[Cacophony]

Minny with the most dangerous lead.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

I bet Panthers fans are weeping over the loss of newly beloved shithead Riley Stillman

Borgstrom is kind of a mystifying guy, I remember when the prospect knowers were super high on him and then he never clicked in Florida. Looks like he's playing in the Liiga this year. Wouldn't be surprised if he just stays in Europe.

Getting rid of the Connolly contract is most of this trade, though.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Like two more years at 3.5 for a guy who has two goals this year? And the best piece coming back is Borgstrom? You have to think Connolly could rebound to 20 goal form.
