2023-24 NHL Season
- Thread starter Doc Holliday
- Start date
Agree....et je dis qu'il pourrait again terminer #1 des pointeurs....et même si il n'y parvenait pas...serait quand même the top 1 player.
He isn't number 1 as a 2 way player and let's not forget he absolutely sucks on faceoffs. Sidney Crosby leads the NHL in faceoff wins by over 100- McDavid isn't even in the top 25. Draisaitl his teammate is much better and is in the top 10.
What about Kucherov and McKinnon? They are no good?
Being #1 in abilities, power and vision doesn’t mean nobody else is good
Au tour de MacKinnon d'atteindre le plateau des 100 pts.....ça va être intéressant à suivre....would bet on McDavid....lol....mine de rien il est déjà à 94 points et +21...quand même.
Kuznetsov waived by Capitals! He was a 78 pint player as recently as 21-22, but he has been complete garbage the last 2 seasons. One wonders whether, at only age 31, he has relapsed into the cocaine abuse that got him suspended in 2019. He is in the player's assistance program, and one must ask why, but one will not get any answers from the Caps:

A team with some confidence in the assistance program and their own drug abuse rehab professionals might take a chance on him.
Capitals waive former star forward Kuznetsov
Longtime Capitals center Evgeny Kuznetsov cleared waivers after not being claimed by any of the NHL's other 31 teams and has been assigned to Hershey of the American Hockey League.
We have a battle of the Russian goalies in Toronto tonight with Shesterkin vs. Samsonov. May the best Russian win!
Oilers who many wrote off at the beginning of tje season just took 2nd in the Pacific. If and a big if they win the games in hand against Vancouver they would be 1 point behind.
Ruff Fired! If you live in the NYC area, this is not surprising news. His job security has been called into question ever since he blamed the media for placing "extra pressure"on his players by asking them about their power play woes. In other words, he blamed the media for doing their jobs in trying to find answers on why the Devils PP sucks so bad:

Another problem the Devils have had is using 3 goalies, only to discover that none of them has played well enough to be something more than a backup. It's a big problem when none of the goalies on your roster show signs of being a long term starter.
It's generally fatal for any head coach in any sport once they lose the respect of the NYC media. I can tick off a roll call of coaches and managers in football, baseball, basketball and hockey who were quickly run out of town once the media turned on them.
Looking for spark, Devils fire Ruff, promote Green
The New Jersey Devils, struggling to contend in a clogged Eastern Conference a season after winning a playoff round last season, fired coach Lindy Ruff on Monday, the team announced, and promoted Travis Green, a Ruff assistant, to interim coach.

Gallant also did something Ruff didn't do, which was maintain a level of respect from the NYC media as he got the boot from the NY Rangers.
