kipwinger 8,770 Report post Posted October 12, 2023 (edited) Can someone explain to me why really good players aren't lining up to take pay cuts to play with McDavid and Draisaitl? Like, remember when every player in the NBA would have taken a pay cut to play for the dynasty Bulls? Scottie Pippen made half his worth for his entire career because Michael Jordan was THE MAN. If McDavid and Draisailt and Hymen and Nugent Hopkins and Kane and Nurse can't convince a bunch of dope players to join them on the cheap then what kind of stars even are they?

kipwinger 8,770 Report post Posted October 16, 2023 I'm surprised how bad many of the "top teams" are looking so far this season. Carolina stunk up the building against Anaheim last night. Edmonton has lost of Vancouver twice in a week. Tampa looks sharp but beatable. Ditto for Toronto. We might be starting to see some new blood emerging around the league and I'm here for it.

Their core is super solid, they need probably only one more first overall pick to put them over the top, then the dynasty begins. 1 town123 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kipwinger 8,770 Report post Posted October 18, 2023 Zadina is the same dude he ever was. He's been on the ice for loads of goals against, he's riding an unsustainably high shooting percentage, and his team is losing every night. Handing losers top line minutes without making them earn the ice time is always a bad idea. 1 The 91 of Ryans reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bertuzzi had one shot in just under 14 minutes of ice time in Thursday's 3-1 loss against the Florida Panthers, while linemates Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner both logged more than 23 minutes of ice time. Keefe said it's unclear whether Bertuzzi will miss time with the injury. “Possibly. We will have to see," Keefe said. "This is something he is dealing with, [but] it is not too severe. But even on the bench, he is trying to stay loose and get ready for his next shift. "That is not a good sign to me.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But since he has been injured they are softer on him. It’s starting to be clear to them these guys aren’t what the media told them they are. They don’t make the leafs any tougher to play against. Bert is an instigator and an opportunist, not a roughneck. And bobody is scared of Reaves because he can’t skate and only plays 5 minutes a night. Domi just sucks.
