Im having a hard time deciding if Canucks fans or Flyers fans have it worse. Sabres are up there too but at least expectations are lower overall.

Wow that's gonna be fuckin brutal. If anything, it looks like point totals may be a bit inflated for teams that get to play in the East division:

That’s because east is half good and half bad while north is all bad.

Flyers have won cups, there is no comparison misery wise at all. I'm not saying that it's great being a Flyers fan at all, but the Sabres and Canucks are in a world of their own hockey wise. They're senior members of the pro sports sadness club along with the Minnesota Vikings, Atlanta Falcons, Texas Rangers, Milwaukee Brewers, San Diego Padres, Seattle Mariners, Phoenix Suns, LA Clippers, Utah Jazz, Denver Nuggets, Brooklyn Nets and Indiana Pacers. The "but I haven't seen my team win a cup" thing doesn't expire until the championship literally passes from living memory like it did with the Cubs. I guess the Cleveland Baseball team are getting close.

It’s less miserable being an 80 year old Flyers fan but if you’re 35 it’s not any different.

DOOMocrat posted:Robertson. For. Calder. Robertson is clearly an awesome player and in my view it's inarguable that he is the best rookie, but I wonder if that stat isn't a bit misleading from a context perspective.. I mean the Stars as currently constituted have a scoring line and then a bunch of players who have never contributed any positive offensive impact at 5v5. if you're comparing time Robertson is on the ice vs. time Robertson is off the ice you are comparing him, Roope Hintz and Pavelski to Radek Faksa, Andrew Cogliano and Jake Dowling.

Hornqvist had gotten to be a mildly bad contract but Matheson's was much much worse. It's hard to make any sense of it. (Plus, if you so desperately lust after a defenseman whose only selling points are being big, A Tough Gritty Hitter and a first round pick, why buy out JMFJ?) If ownership let that trade go through, the mind boggles at how hideous the Letang trade ownership vetoed that prompted GMJR's departure must have been.

Hornqvist's skillset is definitely still highly coveted around the league. The pens probably could've gotten decent value like a Rickard Rakell type or something but GMJR loves him some busted high draft pick reclamations What I truly don't get is the fans who think he is a positive on the ice. I feel like I am watching a different sport on a different planet reading their praise. He is positionally every bit as bad as JMFJ was he can just skate/shoot better. When his legs go he's going to be traaaash

I like when Matheson does cool things offensively and I dislike when his brain leaks out of his ears and he gives someone a free breakaway

(Letang's Cool Offensive Things to Free Breakaways ratio is, um, a fair bit better than Matheson's)

As soon as he loses half a step dear god it's going to be awful.

Rangers get eliminated tonight with a Boston win I think. They may also get eliminated if they lose to the Caps but that won’t happen cause the Caps are in shitshow mode coasting to the playoffs.

To get in the Rangers need to win their remaining 4 games and Boston has to lose their remaining 6 in regulation. Any Rangers loss or the Bruins going at least 0-5-1 down the stretch means Rangers miss.

There was an article on the Athletic about who has it worse: Canucks or Sabres fans? There's a lot of really funny bad poo poo that happened to those teams that I forgot about https://theathletic.com/2440424/2021/03/11/sabres-vs-canucks-after-50-years-and-no-stanley-cups-whose-fans-have-had-it-worse/

Easy to forget the Sabres were on the receiving end of the '99 finals...but I think the crown belongs to the Canucks, personally.

N: More playoffs: the difference between Nashville making and missing the playoffs right now is their 5 wins over Columbus. V: You're not welcome. Speaking of those two there's a laine (Freudian slip, but I'm leaving it) tonight of Dalpe-Gerbe-Laine. Gerbe owns and Dalpe hasn't looked bad with the big club, but :wtc nonetheless:

Darude - Adam Sandstorm posted:Bob Hartley to coach the Habs incoming That probably has as much to do with speaking French as anything if it actually happened It's funny: Montreal used to dominate because of geography/culture and a dumb rule, and it normalized it so much that the expectation is now actively hurting them

Laine as a 4th line player/1st power play specialist is a great fit. He just needs to travel back to before salary cap and sign with an already dominant team.

I want to see Bread come back out and kick his rear end. As for Wilson, I'm expecting garbage-rear end league to do a garbage-rear end job disciplining a garbage-rear end player.

Tom Wilson continues to be awesome and add a ton of extra value to his team by being a brazen shithead in a league that not just allows but tacitly encourages it.
