Reposting into new thread

Post who you want >your team to take with their 1st round pick and why:

>Laffs

Auston Mathews

You'd have to be high to take anyone other than AM with the 1OA pick, and this is doubly true for Toronto. He compares to a more offensive Kopitar and will be the first true number 1 C the leafs will have had since Sundin. A perfect, big/skilled complement to the leafs current size issue with Mitch "lil boy" Marner. Though Marner has incredible skill the guy needs size either on his body or on his line to create space for him to make magic.

I still remember watching the NHL draft lottery on TV after the 2005 lockout ended, as one of the few (at the time) Pens fans in the city (the Steelers were kicking ass around that time) it was all I had to root for, as the team absolutely sucked. Whenever we won it I started screaming like we won the Cup, I knew how pathetic it was but I didn't care.

I have zero doubt in my mind it was rigged. I still don't care.

worst finals of all time, pittsburgh is so boring and such a shitty city

you faggots cant win in any relevant sports LOL

don't have one

>waits for that one autistic pongs faggot to get assblasted by this post

epic blog

>expecting offseason autists to make hockey related posts

Good post

2017 is our year

Go Bolts! Do your best!

NHL.com recently asked 13 NHL scouts for their choice if given the option; Matthews earned an 11-2 edge.

“We still draw our lists up starting from No. 1 no matter what, whether we’re not picking in the top 20, whether we don’t have a first-rounder. We had one of our European scouts make the case for Laine over Matthews, but the rest were all on Matthews."

>binland BTFO

lel laffs are fucking garbage

Wrong team friendo.

Laffs are sheer depression. If I was a laffs fan I'd never be happy.

good choice friendo

Can confirm

Would buy season tickets if they had this logo.

whats rmyt?

Really makes you think.

reddit

which franchise is worse?

laffs or coilers?

both of them haven't made the playoffs in 10 years

fans of both teams never grew up seeing their team in the playoffs

...

I just guessed lol. I had no idea that's what it stood for. Huh.

I didn't either. it seems like some nigger twitter shit

Unquestionably >our year

I believe in you.

Laffs are Cleveland Browns tier bad

nah

laffs was rated worse franchise in sports 3 years running

When is the draft

Midsummers eve

You're a stupid NEET cunt

Just stop now bud

>offseason
>zero good new memes
>no new beans

what the fuck is wrong with this place

This reason will be a season of pleasin'.

Who are the biggest meme teams going into the offseason?

Stars
Wild
Bolts
Caps

Laffs
Blots
Mild
As always >rags

hoc's been dead as fuck since last offseason. regular season was boring as fuck already, playoffs were the final nail in the coffin.

I blame it on a lack of memes this season. It just felt so boring and uninspired this season.

>He fell for the "good memes in summer" meme

You spelt capitals wrong 82 games > 28 at most

I'm not even talking about memes, you fuckin hoser. There's just been way less people comparatively.

>a fucking leaf

My doge has been stung by a bee and may not make it.

I need 5 Yous to save her

>complaining about Canadians in a hockey thread
I thought Germans were supposed to be intelligent

My dawg, what is up with your reading comprehension?

>a fucking leaf
Is this not meant as an insult to Canadians?
Are you a new German?

Insulting Canada does not mean I'm complaining about the country that makes up 70% of hokkei.

And no, I'm not new.

>getting upset over memes
get a load of this fucking leaf

How will the western canadian teams rank next season from most to least shit? Imo:
>Canucks
>Oilers
>Flames
>Jets

>Canucks
>Flames/Oilers
>Jets

Think the Oilers can actually edge out Flim Flams if they do decently in the offseason.

From least to most
>Flames
>Jets
>Canucks
>Oilers

Jets comfortably get into the playoffs as the 2nd WC, then get swept in five.
Flames find solid goaltending but finish 9th in the conference.
Canucks sell their future for veterans, then finish 29th in the league. They lose 3 spots in the draft lottery, thus getting the #5 pick.
Oilers finish 30th.

>craps

i actually like the leaf desu
maple trees are based, its better than some meme cross

ay up lad you better not be shite talking st. george

i dont know what that is lad

>Canucks
into the trash
>Oilers
If they get a good defender, playoffs for a 1st-2nd round exit
>Flames
If they get a good goaltender might hit the playoffs
>Jets
Will make the playoffs but too mediocre to advance in the Central

Oilers will need more than one good defenseman to have a shot at the playoffs.

>mfw Matthews turns out to be a bust like Stefan

...

Where were you in when the magic died, /hoc/?

>tfw the NHL will never have a pair of hands that entertaining again

I was watching the final seconds of game 6 of the 2015 final.

>Tranny Gay

He looks so happy. Truly an American hero

no bully.

Sparkledogs pls save us from Pavel

Mantha + Datsyuk for Future Considerations

I still dunno what I expect Mantha to turn into. He did 45 points in a full, injury free season which is respectable. Not a first liner or elite but good and having that size on an otherwise pretty small roster would be really nice.

45 points as a 20 year old is more than respectable in this day and age. He's going to be a superstar.

>le can't skate or score man
>deadmonton

That's an A/A- prospect

I hope so. Most Wings fans meme'd way too hard about Pulkkinen too because of his slapshot but they're fucking retarded for not realizing a NHL defenseman isn't going to sit there and let him wind up. Very few modern NHL players have a fast and accurate slap shot to do it accurately in the league now IMO.

>AHL stats
He only got 3 points in ten games though.

Barzal is going to be a star dezu sandpie

I forgot to mention those are AHL numbers. He didn't crack the NHL squad this year. He might end up being one of those meme AHL players who is successful because of his size but aren't actually quite good enough to make the big league. We'll see.

He's no Nylander in the AHL or the NHL

Also nice Messier dubs

Fuck your dog

Who's that?

It's a spicy meme about how shit Griffin Reinhart is.

You're the next GM of either Edmonton, Toronto, or Vancouver. You have five years to make them competitive or you get the boot. Which team do you pick and what do you do?

Toronto, easily. Listen to whatever Mark Hunter and Kyle Dubas say, get cup in 3 years. Next question.

But what's the joke? Isn't he just some big defensive defenseman?

A """defensive""" """defensemen""" who can't skate, possess the puck, or suppress shot attempts. 100% worth the 4th OA pick and then trade for the 16th OA.

even still, players in the AHL are extremely good and once he fills out (ie, his team puts him on an extremely specific and methodical diet) he's going to be an absolute beast. 6'5 is pretty intimidating coming at you at 30km/h

Coilers most shit
Cantpucks close behind
Jest miss out just barely and relocation rumours start up

Flimflams make it as long as they get a tender

Jest>Flims>Oilels>Cancucks

What if they got a chicken tender as a tender? Would they make the playoff?
