Prophet Zacharia Posted March 26, 2021 Share #1 Posted March 26, 2021 Frantic schedule, frequent games. Lots of injuries. My Penguins are third in the East, but have injuries to 5 of their top 9 forwards. It’s currently a top line and lot of AHL player roster. Goalies are playing well. What is your team doing well?

Zephyr Posted March 26, 2021 Share #10 Posted March 26, 2021 Truth be told, with the all Canadian Division, the other divisions are getting little coverage up here so we really have no idea where things sit. The Leafs are doing well, but I think they are doing okay in a weaker division. Don't think they are ready to compete with the League big boys come the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lost 8-3 last night to the Rangers. It’s weird, the way the schedule is set up it’s like mini-playoff series all season long, and it’s hard to get a sense of how teams are playing outside their current matchup. Caps looked old and slow when I saw them earlier this year, but they’ve ripped off a couple of wins in a row now, so . Islanders can’t seem to lose against Boston.

goldendesign Posted March 26, 2021 Share #12 Posted March 26, 2021 We're looking pretty good here. Few minor injuries, nothing that'll last the road trip. We're sitting at the top of Central and have the best record in the league right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm even starting to lose interest in college football. It's pretty much the NFL these days and I'm even losing interest there. Time for a new sport. It’s a great sport, and it’s a strict salary capped league. So any team not owned by the Pegulas can be competitive. The officiating can be maddening, but where isn’t it? A referee was “retired” this week for being heard on a hot mic saying that he was looking for a penalty against one team, and while it wasn’t much of a foul, he jumped on his chance to call it. Officials making calls based on the game situation (score, time on the clock, penalty balance comparing one team to the other, etc) is termed “game management”. Most fans just want the rule book called consistently, if it’s called a penalty in the first period, it should be called in the final minutes, too. Don’t “put away” or “swallow” the whistles in the third period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickinMD ★ Posted March 27, 2021 Share #21 Posted March 27, 2021 It should be easy for Baltimoreans to root for the very successful Washington Capitals whose home arena is a fun place to go for NHL and NBA games. But Baltimoreans have always felt superior to Washington Sports. We used to have a very popular minor league hockey team in the 60's and 70's known as the Baltimore Clippers. They had a larger avg. attendance at the old Civic Center than the NBA Baltimore Bullets (now Washington Wizards). They blew the chance of joining a short-lived rival (World Hockey League) to the NHL whose larger-city teams were eventually merged into the NHL and the Clippers' minor league collapsed and they disappeared. Unfortunately, the family owning the rights to the Clippers name refused to let anyone use it and a few tries at hockey teams were attempted under poorly-chosen names like "Skipjacks" that never caught on. Many of us still remember the words to the Clippers' fight song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12string Posted March 30, 2021 Share #28 Posted March 30, 2021 cap space. Looks like a deal in the works that brings in salary. Ekholm? Better not be futures for an old vet. This team should be selling. waivers would be to send him to the AHL, at least temporarily. But any team can claim him. Probably will. There's clearly a locker room issue with this team, rumor is he's not a team player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s the current vibe with Claude and Jake and Sean as leadership? Because it seems like any time there is a riff in the Flyer’s locker room, the guys who leave win Cups and the guys who stay do not. Brind-A’mor decks Lindros, leaves to captain the Hurricanes to a Cup. Mike Richards and Jeff Carter get traded away for their locker room influence, and go and win two Cups.
