I don't understand how the refs did not see the puck go in on the Nazar goal, they were like there. Puck disappears "Welp, guess no goal then, on to the next shooter". Refs gonna ref, I guess. edit: According to Friedman, Toronto notified the off-ice officials, but the on-ice officials didn't get told until after Laine did his attempt. https://x.com/FriedgeHNIC/status/1911980413783847192 Emetic Hustler fucked around with this message at 09:41 on Apr 15, 2025 |

I did not word it well. Friedman obviously provided an explanation, but also Montreal did not deserve that win in any light. They REALLY don't want to be in the playoffs for some reason

I've watched maybe 15 Oilers games this year and Nurse is still Nurse. His positioning is bad beyond words. It's not bad the way Justin Faulk's positioning is bad because Faulk just doesn't give a poo poo. Nurse is always busting his rear end. He just has the worst defensive instincts I've ever seen in anyone who played in the NHL as a defenseman. The Oilers constantly give up goals where Nurse is supposed to be between the shooter and the net, but isn't. Not like he went chasing the puck JMFJ style, he's there, but he's... not there. He's kinda slightly off to one side, letting the shooter have a clear look at the goalie. (edit for clarification: but he does also go chasing the puck and taking himself wildly out of position more than he should, too!) Mediocre and bad teams don't reliably punish him for it. Good teams sure as hell do. He is a huge liability getting first-pairing minutes and matchups in the playoffs. Eric the Mauve fucked around with this message at 14:24 on Apr 15, 2025 |

kalensc posted:Heck no, bring back the Adams, Patrick, Norris, and Smythe divisions, and Wales and Campbell conferences, it had flair no other league could show off. Align geographically for sure to make rivalries happen and reduce travel load, but swap back the names post-haste. This. The NHL removing all the cool bits that made it different from the other leagues sucks. They don't need the old names, but something other than boring geographic names. Hell, they can't even get geographic names accurate (Atlantic and Pacific containing inland teams, Metro including Columbus, Pittsburgh, Carlpolina) so might as well find cool names. The league having different names for stuff like the awards is fun and makes the league more interesting.

The Hart, Norris and Vezina sound cooler than MVP, Defenceman of the Year and Goalie of the Year. In non-hockey, winning the Heisman feels more prestigious than "Player of the Year".

I don't expect him to play game 82 either. I think he played this weekend with the hope they'd make up ground on the Kings. They didn't. The Kings would have to lose out (extremely unlikely) from last night if the Oilers won both their games. As much as the game last night was for something it also really wasn't so he's gonna not play til Sunday.

Cartoon Man posted:Did he develop at all this year? Does he still deserve a roster spot next year? I'd say yes but still needs to keep improving some stuff like defensive positioning and breaking the puck out effectively etc. He's pretty good in transition because he has speed and that with his size makes him effective on the forecheck, he's been working on getting better in front of the net with screens and getting rebounds etc, and he'll use his size to attack the net as well. Honestly in the offensive zone he's decent for a young 4th liner He also isn't out there trying to fight everyone all the time or play like a goon. e: like this play is something I like a lot. Kulikov tries to glove that puck down and Rempe just shoves him out of the way, finds the puck, goes right to the net making a move on Schmidt who looks like he didn't quite know what to do with this giant guy coming straight at him, and while he gets checked and doesn't get a shot off, Kreider is able to get the puck near the net now and get it in front to Brodz for the goal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXYyOPGz2Yc&t=548s Levitate fucked around with this message at 17:07 on Apr 15, 2025 |
