Kucherov also has a Hart Trophy in the past few years.... By stating "only" Price and Fleury youre feeding right into the NBC bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not , then one has to wonder what kind people are heading the NHL or NBC marketing teams. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reject Romanity, return to stripey. I made points about the many flaws their new/old uniforms have, when they were unveiled. One of the responses I got was that the team's call was based on what Senators fans wanted. Apparently, they don't like any of the 3 updated Centurions nor the =O= logo with the olde tyme stripes. I feel like they went worst choice possible. But the new unis are marketed to fans of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's not even mentioning the future HOF (and one of the best scorers of his generation) Stamkos. I'd add Point too, but maybe he doesn't resonate much outside of Tampa despite how good he is. Regarding Kuch, it's also worth pointing out he's one of the bigger storylines in the league this postseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyJimmy Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I feel like out of the remaining teams, the Isles are kind of the underappreciated workhorses - not the most marketable team, but one that plays damn good hockey. the Cesaro or Jerry Lynn of the NHL, if you will.

They remind me a bit of the 2003 Wild- Barzal is Gaborik, Trotz is Lemaire, Varly/Sorokin are Roloson/Fernandez, lot of interchangeable role players and grinders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of a bold strategy to win back fans by making your uniforms three times as bland as other teams, but I’m not a bigbrain expert at owning a hockey team like Eugene Melnyk so my peon opinion means nothing.

Kramerica Industries Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 The Lightning are: 21-21 at home in the playoffs since 2014 2-8 in Game 1 home openers 0-4 in their last four Game 1 home openers During that same time frame, they're 4-1 when they open on the road, and they won both road openers so far this postseason. How they are completely unable to win playoff home games and that this is a problem that they have never figured out (not once since 2014 have they had a better playoff home win percentage compared to their road win percentage) is pretty infuriating. Even their record in "road" games in the bubble last year was better than in the "home" games. Seriously. Just wear white for all games. Away and home. Whatever it takes.

RyanMcD29 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Not to go all homer defense mechanism either, but the Islanders have been getting quite a bit of offense this playoff run, too. They're first in the playoffs in terms of goals scored (yes they padded it a bit with empty netters but still). Yes, the forecheck and neutral zone play are still there, but they've shaken off the defense only stereotype these playoffs Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
