@number9concepts So why do the gloves and pants have to be black?

I’ve heard the “they have to share styles with the parent club” excuse. Maybe a little more than half of AHL teams match their NHL club, so clearly they don’t *have* to.

This would look much better with purple instead of black.

@LAKings Lipstick on a pig. The culture needs to change – and that starts with getting rid of the white-haired man at the top.

@JustBins The narrator kind of evolved into Macho Man at the end 😂

@313_chalk @EM_Creates The Avs did the exact same thing this year at least seven times.

@ObeseCoach95 @JFreshHockey No, it calls any game going to a shootout a tie. OT wins and losses move to the W and L columns. Utah somehow didn’t have any shootouts this season, but a team like LA went to 14. Crazy stuff.

@JFreshHockey The issue was always that he disappeared late in playoff series:

w/ TOR, Games 1–4: 12 G, 40 A, 52 PTS in 44 GP (1.18 pts/game)
w/ TOR, Games 5–7: 1 G, 10 A, 11 PTS in 26 GP (0.42 pts/game)

With VGK, he’s at 1.40 pts/game – and 3 G, 3 A in “crunch time”: Games 5–6 vs. UTA & ANA

@dog_rates That’s clearly a horse. Stop trying to fool us. 14/10 would ride.

@Patar4950 His mama named him Lew, Imma call him Lew.

[Nigelle Talisman II @meatwagon_]

Okay, @Canes. You’re the last best option now. I’m on the bandwagon. Don’t mess this up.

[Nigelle Talisman II @meatwagon_]

@JFreshHockey Nooope. They sold their soul in ’93. They shall never get the Cup again.

[Nigelle Talisman II @meatwagon_]

@K9701087431180 @puckempire Oh I know. I’m a Kings fan too. The original post was just about the playoffs, though.

Right around the 2012 trade deadline, they famously turned into a juggernaut and jumped from 2.05 GPG to 3.0 GPG during that 13-5-3 finish.

The game has changed but the Kings haven’t kept up.

[Nigelle Talisman II @meatwagon_]

@K9701087431180 @puckempire That’s not exactly true. LA scored 57 goals in 20 games (2.85/GP) when the rest of the league averaged 2.36 that playoff year. Yes, they won four 2-1 games and one 1-0 game. But they had 9 games scoring 4+. Quick was the main reason they won the Cup, but the team was formidable.

@motownbert Sure, Philly was 21st in GF during the season, but Ottawa was 8th. I’m not even a Carolina fan but you can’t ignore that their team GAA is currently 1.11 (!).

I guess we’ll see how BUF (5th in GF) or MTL (7th) do in the East final.

[Nigelle Talisman II @meatwagon_]

@toby1kenobiii @JFreshHockey They’ve allowed 10 goals in 8 games. Their top line could be beer leaguers and they’d still be rolling.

[Nigelle Talisman II @meatwagon_]

@txtechsean @JFreshHockey Fingers crossed, right? But Hampton Slukynsky is a goalie. Carter George is also a goalie. Erik Portillo is a goalie too, but the clock might be running out on him. Remember when Bernier was supposed to be the guy but then Quickie leapfrogged him? Goalies.

[Nigelle Talisman II @meatwagon_]

@AustinInsley69 Easy there, kimosabe. I didn’t say that. The stats suggest he pads his stats playing with two of the best scorers in the league. And his glaring defensive mistakes do him no favours. All that needs to be taken into consideration, which the voters seemingly have.

[Nigelle Talisman II @meatwagon_]

@8fitzy8 MacKinnon was in on 43 of Makar’s 79 pts. That’s 54% compared to McDavid/Bouchard’s 63%.

Of Makar’s 59 assists, 26 were secondary = 44% vs. Bouchard’s 55%

They both benefit from playing with excellent players. But Makar doesn’t leech points like Bouchard does. That’s my point.

[Nigelle Talisman II @meatwagon_]

@sportcardbacks To be fair, there wasn’t much to choose from. He never pitched in the big leagues again after this.

[Nigelle Talisman II @meatwagon_]

@NHLRussell Oh lord, we are so screwed in this pillow fight division 🥲
