Imma need an update on this.
Fucking trash team with like 3 dangerous pieces.
Update is not required because it’s still true. Difference is, Jarry is dog shit. We’ve all known it for years, goaltending has cost the Oilers at least one if not two Cups. The same will true this year if they keep running trash in net. Levi was just barely good enough to get wins, as soon as he got hurt, they were forced to put trash back in net.
Babcock is doing the maximum to get the Oilers to play like the Panthers did a few years ago. Do they have all the physical weapons to be that physical and nasty? No, not yet. But they have McDavid and he’s on pace to fuck with Gretzky records.
The Leafs are a trash team with like 3 dangerous pieces. Get use to it. They’re the same shit with different colors. Surprise, the Leafs haven’t won fuck all either.
I fear our net 100% PK could get lit up tonight. No dumb penalties!
I will give the Leafs PK credit as their PK has shutdown elite offensive teams (Colorado) a few times already this year so far.
But McDavid is one of a kind and Bouchard’s shot seems to be getting to the net very hard and very often, unlike Raddysh.
The Leafs PK seems to have a crazy unsustainably high SV% so if that’s because of the D reducing high danger chances or because of the goalies just stopping everything, we shall see.
The Shithawks just aren’t competitive. They’re starting to look like the Buffalo Sabres of 3 years ago. A long playoff drought. All of this hype around Connor Bedard. He’s in the class of a Mitch Marner, not a Connor McDavid. Why the media hypes this guy is beyond me. Chicago’s management is the worst in the league. So many top-end draft picks with nothing to show. Hopefully, the Avs can hang on and take out the Bolts. Leafs need to keep winning. If they can pull a point out of Edmonton tomorrow night, it’ll be a bonus. If the Leafs play up to snuff, they should win 3 of 4.
Marner and McDavid have both led the playoffs in scoring and have been to the Cup Final. Clearly, McDavid is the best player in the world but you misunderstand the “classes” here seeing as Bedard hasn’t ever made the playoffs.
Chicago has also refused to get decent goaltending or upgrade their D for years. Bedard has been injured and pretty much alone in turning his team around. Reality is, Chicago seems to want to keep tanking like San Jose did (Celebrini has also never made the playoffs). And they probably should continue because without it, they won’t gather up enough elite talent in other ways.
Bedard is a smaller, offensively dangerous one-way player. But his size and his defense will always hold him back, much like it does Nylander and McKenna. Those types of players will almost never be the top player on a winning team.
Jeez, Saturday night is gonna be a tough one. God, I hate the Oilers. Terrible team, but they’re NEVER out of the game.
Hate them as hard as you want, they’re one of the best teams in the league (VGK still #1 with Marner though) so far this year.
Babcock and his former assistant have turned around the Oilers and the Leafs. And dipshits have to cope.
I wonder if Devils fans are hoping Hellebuyck will be the next Brodeur lol
They’re already in on Quinn Hughes for next year, adding Helleybuck too is going to make the Devils very dangerous again.
Well he’s not technically old til next year when he hits the age of 34 and he’s only 33 lol
I googled it and this came up
• The Early Decline (Age 29–30): Production and skating metrics often begin a gradual descent.
• Entering “Old” Territory (Age 34–35): Performance drop-offs tend to accelerate sharply, and players in this bracket are widely viewed as veterans in the twilight of their careers.So wtf is 31-33?!? Regular decline? lol
Anyways he’s not old yet, just regular decline age lol
Every player is going to decline and get “old” at different rates depending on how they play the game and what their skills include. Historically, goal scoring disappears after 30. Some players have defied that but most don’t. Players that are physical, block shots, get into traffic and play hard hockey do get old, faster and sooner.
In the case of a player like McCabe, we have seen this fucking movie so many damn times and everybody is always shocked when it happens. Players like him get “old” faster. Why? Because they play the game physical and hard. Look at Wendel. He was basically useless at 32/33. Because he played every game like it was his last which means his last game comes quicker. Which is also why they were wise to trade him for Sundin. Probably the last time the Leafs realized a guy was about to fall off a cliff and actually won a trade by getting the younger, better player. Sundin should remind Chayka of that fact when it comes to Matthews and Nylander in the not too distant future.
We saw this movie with Muzzin. We see it with Tanev. We will see it with McCabe. Rielly and Raddysh won’t be much better either. These guys are signed for too much money and for too long. And there is nothing the Leafs can do to change it or upgrade it without blowing the team apart. It’s like building a house and forgetting to put rebar in the concrete but not realizing it until you’re installing the roof.
What the fuck does age have to do with that play?!?!? Danford/Makar/Burns/literally anybody else would have missed the rest of the game after that.
Retards gonna retard.
Only a retard would think that I meant he got hurt because he’s old on that play. Simply a statement of fact that another old D-man went down.
And Roslovic hit the net!!!
Use to play for CBJ so naturally, he must score.
