not into the playoffs, just out of the good lotto odds

plus some of their prospects might be kinda ready to not suck by next season

Right. Makes sense. I'm a Rangers fan (don't ask me why, it's a life full of regret) and I also think that if the Rangers do "ok" this year it will be because their younger guys exceed expectations. I don't think Lundqvist is really going to move the needle on their performance - at his age, I would guess he has about an average season for a starting goalie, with some "turn back the clock" streaks where he dominates and some bad streaks. If the Rangers do well, his overall stats will look good and if they do poorly then vice versa.

LOL at Mark Hunter going back to London as GM. WAKE THE **** UP already Aquilini and about 17 other NHL owners.

Laffs haven't won a playoff series since 2004, but ya Lou & Hunter are super brain geniuses

no they skillfully drafted Matthews

Or maybe Hunter would be a bad GM without the London Knights cheating network funnelling all the best OHL kids to his team

makes u think

ok so here's the quiz, it's the 2nd edition of Name That Player! (w/o context clues, mostly)

a rand group of meaningful players, except i filtered out ones that were too hard (i mean does anyone know what guys like Dominik Simon & Alex Kerfoot look like?), and ones that were too easy (the initial rand had guys like Stamkos, Subban, Marchand, Ovechkin, P.Kane, Burns, etc)

this will still probably be frustratingly difficult, i know
a good score will be like ... 10?

(plz no cheating ... i mean, what's the point of that? lol)


glgl

so just ****ing trade him already then jfc

lol these teams

no luck needed. it's all skill.

and Lafreniere is even better


TANK TANK TANK

Who the **** are those guys? Got like four, a couple irritating somehow familiar and dozen+ got zero clue. Even if you told the names would have to luckbox to break ten.

I remember this game. I think I got 2.
If it were a match the name to the photo I might get 3.

took me forever but i finally found the 1st one of these i ran, and holy hell was it way harder

looking at it now i'd get like 8/25 maybe

there are dudes in there i totally forgot existed lol
(and some ppl got them correct at the time!)

as for this one, already got a couple decent scores in the clubhouse

for those of you who forgot about, or never heard of, this guy, he became a minor memeceleb in Toronto/Canada after being shown at a game with a cigarette in his mouth





anyway flash forward a couple years and he's being hired by Central Scouting, and co-hosts a radio show on TSN?

thought maybe the Dart Guy thing was just a lol and he's actually been in the fancystats game for years or something, but after a little digging around it seems like not, and he just used his memefame to springboard into actual media & hockey careers over like 2 years? what a ****ing world...


so if you've ever wondered why the hockey world seems like the biggest collection of complete ****ing morans running, in some cases, billion-dollar businesses, well this example of them going outside of the failson hiring chain for a change is a pretty damn good example of why

I can’t put a name to any of those faces.

I'm not a very good fan.

i know #1 and that's about it

(he plays for the habs)

Every players tribune hockey article is mega depressing

I found the back half of the pictures much easier than the front half, for whatever reason. Should've also had us submit guesses as to the pictures we think the most people will get right as well as the fewest.

yeah, and this is fairly similar to the Corey Hirsch one
though him talking about the issues related to being a career minor leaguer differentiates it

the old adage is you have to be crazy to be a goalie, and most of them are
though i get it, there's so much pressure with that position
probably a lot of guys who can't handle that **** and need help tbh

torn achilles for Sekera, out for the season again


everything coming up LOiLers!

the squeaky Everlastrrs get the grease once again...


lol oldz

'Tanking accidentally' is the wrong way to tank


1 guess as to which team this is about
