an awful game
oh like its out of reach

Somehow Boston will fuck it up. Because that's what Boston always does.

When Boston isn't top. they suck in the playoffs.

i mean can u blame them for hyping it up
its literally
yanks vs red sox
in an elimination game
that is literally money

least fun matchup though
honest umbra
like NOOOO other matchup comes even close or would create as much excitement
dodgers vs cards is a really good matchup and doesnt even compare

They're trying to make Boston and New York hot shit when the rivalry hasn't been shit since 04.

yea in terms of quality matchups it sucks
but it dont matter
its red sox and yanks at the end of the day

yea hes soloing it sitting at home the whole playoffs
as he will for the rest of his life
if he stays on the angels

At this point, Yanks and Red Sox is no different than Flames and Oilers. Hasn't been relevant in 30 years, but that won't stop the NHL from shoving it down your throat.

Giants vs dodgers is basically the World Series
Are angels that team that just wastes generational talents

so what do they need? better SP? An upgrade on catcher?
CF ? Bullpen def wasn’t an issue for them

hicks is coming back from tommy john so no CF
better SP is always a help, they can never stay healthy
sanchez is a big love-hate relationship
do think they should make an upgrade if they could
but obviously not a big pool of good C talent

Gotcha. Def think they should go for a solid 2SP if they can. I think they hold onto Sanchez

he has a cannon arm but his blocking skill and overall decision making is very subpar
also has a tough time receiving relay throws at home

Who improved the most do you think?
robust grotto
Great question
celest zephyr
idk hard to remember offseason moves until the season starts
celest zephyr
plus teams sometimes have to play games to see if it translates to actual improvement
dim kettle
Remember how great the 2016 off season was suppose to be than every FA signing it seemed were sent to Vegas in the expansion draft? NHL free agency drives me nuts for a reason.

I like the Blues, mainly due to that story of the cute little girl who was battling cancer getting to experience them winning it all a few years ago since she was a super fan
Hope she's still alive and doing well

IDK about the Blues. Lots of questionmarks and it feels like that 2019 run was so long ago now.

There’s no real team that stands out as really improved imo. I hate to admit it but I think the Devils have a lot of boom or bust potential. Not a contender by any means but adding Hamilton, Graves, and actual backup in Bernier… some potentially explosive rookies in Mercer and Holtz
dim kettle
robust grotto
Florida def decent. Anton Lundell is a candidate for rookie of the year
Yeah, he won’t be able to play in NYC, Canada, or California but will be fine in NJ
robust grotto
for real
dim kettle
Still don't think the Devils have a defense. As long as PK isn't on the Penalty Kill the better.
dim kettle
Florida I fear a lot of their players are doomed for inevitable regression.
robust grotto
Knowing them, yeah lmfao
dim kettle
I have zero expectations for NYR
Gotta root for the New York Ranger GRIT!
robust grotto
Can’t wait !!! Worked out so far let me tell you
Goodrow got ejected his first preseason game 🙂
dim kettle
robust grotto
But for Florida, I do like their forward depth tbh
dim kettle
People like Sam Bennett and Carter Verhaeghe are the ones I question the most. Are they bound for regression? IDK.

Reinhart could be a sneaky good pick up. Guy found a way to score 25 last year on fucking Buffalo

I wouldn't be surprised if the front office had more to do with that than Nagy.
The Panthers will be good. Probably won't be 2020 good though.
celest zephyr
habs will probably tank hard
dim kettle
They still can't figure out that goaltender problem.
celest zephyr
so they should be fine for one of the lower playoff seeds
robust grotto
The Panthers will be good. Probably won't be 2020 good though.
Fair imo
celest zephyr
avs going to have to figure it out also
robust grotto
Canes should regress

Yeah I need to see playoff wins from Colorado
robust grotto

dim kettle
robust grotto
I really want to see more from Detroit this year
celest zephyr
Yeah I need to see playoff wins from Colorado
yeah definitely the team that needs to show that the most other than toronto obviously
robust grotto
sorry if I’m all over the place lol
dim kettle
I think this is the first year where Detroit isn't eating dead cap from the Holland era.
robust grotto
Yes dude, spot on
YEP , they have a good young goalie in Ned and their prospects are starting to graduate
I’m not saying playoffs but it is time to show more
Said it last week but Hronek is one of my favorite lowkey guys in the league
dim kettle
Gonna take another few years for Yzerman's Red Wings to really show up. Don't really expect much from the 1st round picks. Yzerman usually is hit or miss with those. He's really good in the 2nd round onwards.
Also is a trade master.
robust grotto
You aren’t wrong, time will tell
They robbed Carolina for ned
Raymond, Seider, Zadina are their noted first rounders who should play
dim kettle
Yzerman is in a different situation than when he stepped foot into Tampa in 2010. Steve already had Stammer and Hedman on the roster. The Red Wings didn't have anyone.
dim kettle

Abdelkader needs a deal?? Say less

Hey, at least Red Wing fans can laugh at the Oilers for making the same damn mistakes.
robust grotto
Lmao true
As for Canadian teams… Vancouver has to be a playoff team or Benning is fucked
Ottawa I’m indifferent about
Leafs and Oilers haven’t really changed with expectations
dim kettle
But Benning being fired would imply the Canucks Ownership actually gives a crap.
Ottawa will still be bottom. They looked pretty good down the stretch but they also played in a weak division.
robust grotto
exactly that and Brady is still unsigned
robust grotto
Agree
celest zephyr
literally nothing else matters other than making the playoffs
dim kettle
The Flames and Canucks really do look concerning considering how bad they played in that division.
celest zephyr
well they also made the division worse
robust grotto
No question. Flames have become a yo-yo club in recent seasons
celest zephyr
if they didn't stink the place up it'd be looked at as a better division
dim kettle
Now you throw 82 games against different opponents. Yeah, not good.
robust grotto
Unironically I think playing the rest of the league will be great for NYR
Our division was just fucking brutal
celest zephyr
it'll be good for young teams that need to develop
dim kettle
Speaking of that, I have to get back to watching Duck games again. Oh, boi
That is pain.

Zegras and Drysdale will be fun
celest zephyr
can't wait for them to blow a 3-0 lead

Zegras will be in the final voting for Calder

Hot take: Boston could miss the playoffs

If more of the starting core get's injured. Definitely.
Rask is out for the year so, have fun, Boston.

I like how we haven’t even mentioned the media darlings known as Chicago
If they aren’t a playoff team lol whewwwwwwww
dim kettle
Because we already made fun of them a lot in July.
robust grotto
More or less BUT THEY GOT SETH JONES AND MAF !!! Everything will be fixed
Let’s not talk about the former video coach molesting the players, Toews is back baby !!

"We had a decent run in the middle of a pandemic season. Fuck the tanks, fuck the rebuild. The Chicago Blackhawks are back baby. We're gonna be more hot shit than the Chicago White Sox in town."

Maybe the Blackhawks will realize their chances of completing for a Stanley Cup has receded as much as Patrick Kane's hairline.

Panthers making some savvy moves, I don't like it 
dim kettle
Only the defensive side. The side that doesn't matter as much in today's NFL.
rustic ore
They already have a good CB in Jackson, a high upside guy who was playing well before getting hurt in Horn, they took a flyer on another high upside guy in Henderson, and now adding a good vet in Gilmore
dim kettle
The offense still only runs on CMC and Darnold's legs before both are on the IR.

Yeah I saw this. There’s only a handful of teams that will be willing to take him on RIGHT NOW knowing that he’s going to miss half a season at best
