MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Its weird how rare it is for a hockey player to say anything interesting. I had to rewind my pvr now to double check what I heard Pat Maroon of the Oilers say about first his team and then San Jose.... Oilers: Want me to be honest. We were terrible in the first. Worst hockey Ive seen since we got here. then he mentioned he got chewed out in locker room at 1st int speaking about SJ 'Then we started getting pucks deep, and I was harping on it (to his teammates)..this team folds. This team is really weak down low....' Link to post Share on other sites
Babying 613 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 That Jimmy Vesey thing is so interesting. Makes so much sense to sign with Nashville but he is going UFA. #leafs or #bruins Link to post Share on other sites

gruven 530 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Pretty good list. I think eichel is missing from he Calder list, and you don't have Julien as coach and he might just win it Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 What? Claude Julien? What am I missing? Boston will be lucky to make the playoffs the way they're going. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Who is coaching Florida? He should get some recognition. I don't think he's been around long enough, but Sullivan in Pittsburgh has been a drastic turnaround. So much so that the Wings broadcasters talked about him being considered for it for like 7 minutes last game. Link to post Share on other sites
gruven 530 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 What? Claude Julien? What am I missing? Boston will be lucky to make the playoffs the way they're going. boston after their off season gutting was not even considered a playoff team. Julien was going to b fired in the first month of the season, and was many writers pick for first coach fired. Instead, they're contending for a playoff spot. And I agree with Sullivan, he just hasn't been around long enough and the team is too talented to put it all on his shoulders. If there was a bad coach of the year, Johnson would have been a landslide winner. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Trading Lucic and Hamilton is a "gutting"? I see them as an average team expected to be an average team with a good, but not the best coach. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I don't understand the point of posting those stories. They're just fluff pieces about how "drastic" swapping a couple of 2nd and 3rd liners is. I know they had an "interesting" off season, but they didn't gut anything. They have largely the same team as they've had over the last few years. Smith was replaced with a similar player. Lucic was replaced, but downgraded. Hamilton was the only guy not really directly replaced. Either way, Julien has no business being in the running for coach of the year in 2016. They're an average team performing averagely.

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I honestly think Babcock should be given a nomination. I would go Beaudreau too, but in my best, unqualified guess, I would say Babcock is doing a great job with the Leaf players and developing them nicely. McDavid is my ROY. I dont care he got hurt. No brainer for me. Link to post Share on other sites

No brainer for me. Gotstobeinjured has had the best season of any rookie I think. Philly's entire season turned around when he got called up. McDavid is of course the best rookie but that isn't what the award is, it's which rookie had the most outstanding season Link to post Share on other sites

McDavid is of course the best rookie but that isn't what the award is, it's which rookie had the most outstanding season sure, I can see that argument. I guess it depends on how you want to define "best", in terms of was it him helping his team, or was it his own play on the ice. I think McDavid has been a better player than Ghost or Panarin has, and I would rather have had 40gp of McD, then 60 of Ghost, or 80 of Panarin, if I was trying to win. Thats how amazing I think McJesus is, but Im a fanboy. Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I think you could make an argument for McDavid now better than a month ago, since Panarin has fallen off a bit. But I also don't think you get credit for games missed, and as great as McDavid has been, he's only played half a season. Panarin has played a full year and is top 15 in points in the league. It's not like there isn't a worthy ROY candidate, and we need to look for excuses to give he award to McDavid. Link to post Share on other sites
gruven 530 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Hey easy Zach. I'm not serge. Lol. It's just an opinion thing. I've watched a fair amount of Bruins games. I think they're playing better than they should, and I credit Julian for the change in their system. They missed the playoffs last year and they should be a little worse this year, especially with chara showing his age. But they're competitive. Only my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 In which Damien Cox argues Crosby should win the Hart Trophy this season I mean, I'd be thrilled if Crosby won, but it's like he's punishing Kane for not keeping up with his torrid start. He's definitely putting much more weight on later season games than early ones. I don't know if that's fair either. Link to post Share on other sites
