Hmm Flames broadcast talking about how Jason Robertson was passed over for a 1st round selection because he was perceived as being a bad team-mate / selfish player and "didn't interview well". I wonder what's different about Robertson from the typical draft prospect that could have lead to so many teams getting such a terrible read on him, he seems like such a great guy.

After making up a bunch of imagined calls the referees in Pens/Caps decided calling nothing for the last half of the game was the best course of action. Not sure if it was an improvement but it definitely let the game flow better. In other news please god trade Kasperi Kapanen for an actual 2nd line player.

They're probably going to have to pick one of them eventually. But I'll enjoy the ride for now. They've got some pretty big cap issues on the horizon once Fox's contract kicks in. But whatever, the #meatmarket is here now and it rules.

who fuckin' cares He's getting real lucky that pucks are going in for him this year but as long as Fox Panarin and Zibanejad are feeding him in front of the net like this (and he stays healthy) he's gonna continue scoring a lot for awhile longer No he's not gonna pace for 50+ goals regularly now, but I'd be he 100% can score 30 for awhile longer with this kind of play. He's scoring so many from extremely high danger areas that yeah his shooting percentage is probably gonna look real high there!

fawning deference posted:Kreider has 33 now he also looked like he passed up the chance at a hattrick in the EN. Panarin poked a puck free and was racing through center ice with no one near him and instead of skating hard to join him Kreider just let off the gas and stopped skating. Either he was tired or just wanted panarin to shoot the puck and not force a pass to him and potentially gently caress up the EN chance

Levitate posted:what now Cutting down on cross-checking in front of the net has definitely benefitted a guy who practices tipping pucks every day, especially considering his chemistry with Zibanejad, and the incredible passing of Fox and Panarin. It's the perfect storm for him this season. I'm curious as to how Kreider ages, since he still has his speed at 30, and he takes a lot less abuse than other power forwards by not fighting - he's had 14 career fights, while other PWFs would have that many in a year. This made me wonder about another American college hockey power forward, Kevin Stevens - I assumed he fought a lot, but it turns out he only had one fight the year he put up 254 PIMs. Those Penguins teams racked up PIMs like crazy. The 88-89 team, when Mario scored 85 goals and 199 points, had 15 players with 100 PIM or more, and another who narrowly missed the mark with 97.

I was just scrolling slowly through this thread and as soon as the pictures came up I went "wtf why are there swastikas in the hockey thread?" and it wasn't until I stopped and had a better look that I realized what it actually was. It looks fine when you know what it is, and it's definitely pretty cool, but it very much has some (unintentional, I'm not one of those weirdos in the twitter thread saying it was done on purpose) fascism vibes at first glance.

Sorry if this makes me sound like an ignorant boomer.. but is there a reason the lunar new year is becoming more of an event? I've seen a number of businesses make a deal about it this year and I don't remember it ever being a thing until the past couple years.

It only has "fascism vibes" if you're ignorant of Chinese or broader Asian culture, but to be fair we are talking about a fanbase that's predominantly white males here, so I guess it makes sense that people had this reaction. xzzy posted:Sorry if this makes me sound like an ignorant boomer.. but is there a reason the lunar new year is becoming more of an event?

Not gonna go on a big derail but I think it's because it's an important Asian holiday that's easy for people to understand (New Year 2) and lately everyone is trying to prove they are respectful of Asians and Asian culture after the rise in hate crimes and stuff that happened as a result of the COVID pandemic For the NHL specifically I think they are trying to appeal to the Chinese audience because of the Olympics, in addition to the PR stuff.

I've seen a number of businesses make a deal about it this year and I don't remember it ever being a thing until the past couple years. People of East Asian descent are also the largest visible minority in Canada making up 5% of the total population and a significant portion of the major cities. I grew up in Vancouver which is ~30% comprised of people of Chinese descent and Chinese New Year was something that was celebrated every year I can remember. It usually meant making paper lanterns and getting red envelopes in schools while the City put on a bunch of dragon dance performances but it always something something people took note of. I had no idea it wasn't much of a thing outside of the pacific coast until I moved away. It's nice to see it getting a bit wider recognition because it's a great holiday.
