The Official 2023-2024 NHL Season Thread: The Philadelphia Flyers are dead to me, even Gritty

[Cacophony]

Looks like Tommy Wilson may be sitting for a bit!

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Made an audible "Oooof" when I saw the replay

[Alexei Ca$hin]

Wilson immediately apologized, but what the hell was he even trying to do there?

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Wilson gets suspended six games

[Cacophony]

Not sure what I expected but kinda hoped it’d be the rest of the season because he’s been given so much runway yet keeps doing dumb stuff

[Grand Moff Larkin]

It’s about what I expected, it seemed more like muscle-memory shitbaggery than dedicated evil

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Did not expect a 5-5 shootout between the Canes and Caps

Canes… please… crush them

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Kotkaniemi has 25 points in 71 games this year, sub Veleno numbers

Caps and Canes now tied at six, with Milano and Aho each with hat tricks

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Not happy with them! Not happy with the Washington Capitals!

The Winnipeg Jets,

JERTS blow

From The Athletic's "Beej Blow" piece today

Too many of the draft picks were duds, but the biggest example came in 2005, when MacLean’s top amateur scout, Don Boyd, wanted the Blue Jackets to take Slovenian center Anze Kopitar with the No. 6 overall pick.

Instead, MacLean went with his gut and drafted Gilbert Brule, who turned into a journeyman NHLer whose career ended with several seasons in Russia.

At the 2008 draft, the Blue Jackets selected Nikita Filatov with the No. 6 overall pick. His NHL career amounted to 53 games and six goals. Once, when brought into a meeting with coaches to show him the benefits of following the puck to the net, Filatov stepped back, appearing confused before proclaiming: “Filly don’t do rebounds.” In drafting Filatov, Columbus passed on 11 first-round picks that year who have played at least 500 NHL games, including standout defenseman Erik Karlsson.

Will the Beej ever be good

[Alexei Ca$hin]

Doug Maclean stories are always a good time

[Cacophony]

Wild at sub 2% to make the playoffs. BG just really sucking rn. What a disaster of a season

[Grand Moff Larkin]

How have the Flyers tied the game vs. the Rangers three times

Just die already fuck

[Alexei Ca$hin]

Josh Doan wearing 91 for the Coyotes is a nice touch
