Re: World Cup of Hockey

i know right, like part me wants to be like maybe Hall's personality overpowered McDavid's (or whatever that was implying) because it was McDavid's first season and he was new to the team and then was injured, like maybe give him a little adjustment period, let him have a year or two to see how an NHL locker room works before making him lead one?

Oh, but nonnie, McDavid has been preparing for this since he was 10 years old!!! Every single day he stood in front of a mirror and practiced answering questions without actually saying anything, that's how we know he's Ready for Anything and a True Leader. He is immune to any pressure, because his whole life everybody told him that one day he'd be the 19 year old captain of a team that hasn't made the playoffs in 10 years!!!

(or at least that's what Oilers fans on Reddit are telling me)

debated if I'll feel bad when they miss the playoffs again

can't say I will

Lol, I'm a Bruins nonnie and I honestly hate Chiarelli so much (thanks for the cup, now fuck off) that I'd be cool with them getting stuck in "doing better but not actually winning anything" purgatory forever.

I mean, some of his managerial decisions are really heading that way. And Cam Talbot is not going to be Tim Thomas.

Lucic signing aside, they still have some work to do before they can attract free agents or trade for players with limited NTCs. I remember seeing they basically had to give up trying for Shattenkirk because they knew he wouldn't re-sign there. They're going to get better, but I think it will be a while before Chia can make them a reliably good team.

If Oilers make playoffs and Devils don't, I fear for Taylor Hall.

Re: World Cup of Hockey

ayrt

I'm not the one to talk to about Taylor Hall. Because goodbye and good riddance, good luck on your hockey journey Taylor Hall, don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you.

But maybe RNH or Ebs could be the responsible one for a couple of years?? That'd be ok with me. And I know probably you don't want to strip someone of the C but. He's going to be the youngest captain ever. And I just don't know why we have to stack that on along with all his other expectations.
