KingRaj91 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I actually think Calgary on paper is pretty good, but seems like the performance of Huberdeau and Kadri is whats bringing them down. They have a solid D-Core tbh, thought they would be a good team but I guess we'll see how it goes. The Oilers start hasn't really suprised me. Said it all of last year that I never saw them as contenders and I do think they are a 3-4 person team. Will be huge for the conference and the league if they miss the playoffs.

I'd like to think if the game goes 0-0 through OT, and no one can score in the shootout, that has to be called a draw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been around all of Pettersson's career, same with Hughes. A number of very talented players have only played in an Era of 3 on 3 OT. Caufield is clutch in OT. Not sure why you feel the need to discount the achievement lije he's had some unfair advantage that other players haven't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kragar Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 21 hours ago, Elias Pettersson said: So, they have Ovechkin on in the last minute of the game with the net empty to get the empty net goal. I mean, is this what it is going to come down to? Getting him on the ice for as many cheap goals as possible to break the record? Is this what we are going to be watching for the next 2-3 years? If he breaks the record scoring cheap empty net goals and power play goals in the last minute of the game when his team is down 4-0 and nobody is trying, then I think Gretzky shouldn't even bother to show up and congratulate him. Sorry, but this is a pretty pathetic and sad way to break one of the greatest NHL records ever... While I agree to a point, it's not like Gretzky didn't have a boatload of empty netters himself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 So, who is going to start the Connor McDavid countdown to trade thread? We know it's going to happen. He's not staying in that shitshow... I'll start it off here... To Edmonton: Adam Fox Alexis Lafreniere Brennan Othmann 2024 1st round pick 2025 1st round pick To New York Rangers: Connor McDavid Honestly, from what I can see the Rangers would be the only team that could trade for him. Fox doesn't have a NTC, so he's easy to move and would be the best player the Oilers could get on the open market who doesn't have a NTC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gretzky and Kurri were regular penalty killers for Edmonton. Gretzky also has the most shorthanded goals in NHL history. He wasn't a liability shorthanded or in the last minute of the game. Ovechkin has killed like 10 penalties in his whole career. He is not the guy you put on the ice when you are protecting a lead. Big difference between the two. Gretzky DESERVED to be on the ice in the last minute of the game. Same with Pavel Bure, who also regularly killed penalties. Pavel has the most shorthanded goals in Canucks history and is 11th all time. Name another team that puts out a pure goal scorer in the last minute of a game to protect a lead, a guy that never kills penalties? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 2 hours ago, King Heffy said: Calgary at least has NHL quality D and goaltending. Calling the trash Edmonton calls a blueline AHL quality is generous. Bouchard would be riding the pine on a decent beer league team. Happy to see both of these franchised being exposed as the jokes that they are. Yup, Calgary can't score, Edmonton can't defend. Such poorly balanced teams. The GMs did try to address these problems - getting Huby and Kadri, and Ekholm respectively, but the big difference is coaching. The Canucks have an offensive-minded group of stars and a good goalie, so in the offseason we get hard defencemen and a defensive coach to balance the squad out. Edmonton has offensive stars and offensive defenceman and no goalie, and they get an offensive minded coach. No surprises there. Calgary have great defencemen, a (in theory) decent goalie and just promote an average assistant coach to head coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
