Thorner Posted February 25, 2023 Report Posted February 25, 2023 Bruins also on pace for the greatest regular season of all time Quote
Thorner Posted February 25, 2023 Report Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) Marek today on his show was right to point out Colorado might be feeling pretty darn good right now: getting healthier, now putting the wins together, weak conference, all while the east loads up in an arms race (removing players from the west) Edited February 25, 2023 by Thorny Quote

Yes I heard they are on pace for the most points ever. I suppose that’s a better less ambiguous term than “greatest” 1 Quote

matter2003 Posted February 25, 2023 Report Posted February 25, 2023 Only NJ(21) and Boston(20) have more road wins than the Sabres(19). Can they petition the NHL to play all their remaining games on the road? 1 Quote

If he can't succeed with Crosby he has to be a total stiff. I haven't really watched Pittsburgh so I can't say what his problem might be but he obviously has one. We have team chemistry now. Finally. After many years. You don't want to mess with that and the only thing you should add (if anything) is hard working character guys. Quote

I can't remember who it was but several years ago there was a team that had a similar thing going and end of the season they made some home games road games by having them all in a local hotel and doing the rest of the "road" things teams do. Might be worth a try. 1 Quote

Might be worth a try. Part of the organizational message over Adams and Granato’s tenure has been about winning the fans back and being entertaining is part of that. I think consciously or subconsciously that has led the team to press and has contributed to the troubles on home ice. 1 Quote
PerreaultForever Posted February 25, 2023 Report Posted February 25, 2023 Remember when everybody wanted to trade for Driedger? He must be off IR cause Seattle just waived him. Doesn't seem like something we'd want any more does he. Quote
steveoath Posted February 25, 2023 Report Posted February 25, 2023 A big fat no to Kapanen. Has been subpar on a team with Crosby and MMalkin.1 goal in last 15 games. 20 points for the season. 3.3M for next year could be better. I'd like to see Granato do his magic with Greenway. I think he could be like aTuch for Cozens and Quinn. 1 Quote

Stads Posted February 25, 2023 Report Posted February 25, 2023 ESPN ran a story called "NHL Power Rankings: Checking in on each team's 25 and younger core" This is the write up on the Sabres: 18. Buffalo Sabres Previous ranking: 19 Points percentage: 55.36% Next seven days: @ FLA (Feb. 24), vs. WSH (Feb. 26), vs. CBJ (Feb. 28), @ BOS (March 2) Buffalo's stable of 20-something talents should be envied the league over. Owen Power (20), Mattias Samuelsson (22) and Rasmus Dahlin (22) patrol the Sabres' blue line well. Dylan Cozens (21) and Tage Thompson (25) will highlight Buffalo down the middle for years. Peyton Krebs (22) is still growing into his NHL role, and so are JJ Peterka (21) and Jack Quinn (21). And there's Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (23), the goaltender Buffalo hopes is its No. 1 netminder for years to come. I have no clue how they're only 18 on this list. Boston is #1 because of Charlie McAvoy, Pavel Zacha, Trent Frederic, and backup goalie Jeremy Swayman. Quote
FrenchConnection44 Posted February 25, 2023 Report Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) The OT goal last night by Nylander was just an absolute gem. Dude is an incredible player. So much talent. Edited February 25, 2023 by FrenchConnection44 Quote

It's a lazily click bait piece. Edited February 25, 2023 by LGR4GM Edit: it appears it's just their normal power rankings with a focus on the u25 players. It's a very confusing title. 1 Quote
Stads Posted February 25, 2023 Report Posted February 25, 2023 Ohhhh now I see it's just the regular power rankings as LGR4GM pointed out. I'm an idiot but still think #18 is still too low 1 Quote

Boston is #1 because of Charlie McAvoy, Pavel Zacha, Trent Frederic, and backup goalie Jeremy Swayman. I haven’t read the piece. Usually the Power Rankings are currently reflecting the team’s strength, hence the Bruins at #1. The commentary is about the talent 25 and under. In that story I would imagine Anaheim would be 30th or so even though they have Zegras, Drysdale, McTavish and more. Quote

The Bruins are racking up the points, I can’t deny that. That Habs team was in the middle of a 4 Cup run with a bunch of HOFers. This Bruins team is good but not a dynasty, they are at the tail end of a solid run. 1 1 Quote
