2022-23 NHL Season Hockey • Page 75

I don’t think there’s any way Canes make it past the second round at this point, we could barely score even with Svechnikov, and now it’s looking dire. On top of that, we’re looking shaky as hell in net and I’m leaning towards them starting Kochetkov over Andersen at this rate.

 

Anyway, here’s multiple clips of Aho walking Tony D like a dog

 

If Raanta is healthy for the playoffs I would consider starting him. He was playing better than both of them before getting hurt

 

things you love to see

 

Also fuck James Reimer

 

As dirty as ever

 

I don’t like any of the options too much at this point. If it were up to me I would prioritize getting in Saros or Gibson this summer, a bonafide number one that Kochetkov can learn from for years before he takes over.

 

Gibson has been dogwater for like five years, but goaltending is voodoo so who knows

 

I think part of Gibson sucking is the team he's been playing on. Put him on a team with good defense like the Canes he can probably go back to a playing level closer to how he was early in his career.

 

The only reason I mentioned Gibson is cause I’m obviously not sure if this front office would want to pay the assets necessary to bring in Saros, if he is even available.

 

Gibson had two 50+ save games last month, both losses lol. Dude gets shelled every night.

 

As someone who lived to see Carolina put Cam Ward through like five years of 60-65 game seasons where he was facing 35+ shots every night i’m definitely weary of how Gibson’s body will hold up. He would obviously be the least busy goalie he’s ever been if he came to Carolina, and if you’re really worried about him holding up I would have no problem starting Kochetkov 35 games next year if Gibson came in this summer.

 

Can't imagine how he can make himself look more stu-oh my god.

 

Hope Carter Briere AND James Reimer get pushed down the stairs

 

He's not entirely wrong. Probably wrong about kadri but there's a bunch of Muslim footballers in Europe who have refused to wear pride based armbands, pins, etc.
That said, I'd rather bigots like Reimer keep my faith out of his fucking mouth.

 

How many Bruins fans are at this Sabres game lol broadcast makes it look like a home crowd

 

it’s less about the pride jerseys & more that the situation he put Kadri in is completely ridiculous and unwarranted.

 

so uh the Rangers have 6 goals on 7 shots

 

Preds basically were an AHL team last night but I'll take it

Outscoring opponents 13-0 on back to backs less then 24 hours apart. Nice.

 

This sucks so much

 

Other than the branding logo changing not much will change from my understanding. I believe Fanatics currently make the authentic jerseys that are sold at retail for the NFL and MLB even though they have the Nike logo on them. I think they do the NBA too. Not sure if they do it for Adidas and the NHL, but Fanatics does at least do some stitched NHL jerseys. Other than the mental hurdle of wearing Fanatics branded gear it’s mostly business as usual from a consumer standpoint. Hell, even some of the practice gear for NHL teams is provided by Fanatics.

 

The SM responses have been hilarious to this... with this one being my favorite so far.

 

This has been the long game to bringing back more crazy brawls.

Fight straps connected to pants are of no use, when they're not connected to the jersey anymore.

 

I stopped buying most merch because it’s all fanatics made so now I buy vintage merch with better quality thanks fanatics

 

Yeah, I have not been a fan of Fanatics stuff either. Their sizing on things just has not worked for me. Hopefully no one thought that I was endorsing them. I was just providing information that this move won't really change much for us, given the current agreements they have with some of the authentic jerseys already.
