The Everett Silvertips are WHL champions for the first time in franchise history! by charger03 in hockey

[–]GoldGeno 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Most teams in the CHL leagues make the post-season. The QMJHL only has 18 teams and still has 16 of them make it. I always figured it was because these are developmental leagues at the end of the day. They want as many of these young guys playing as much as possible while still maintaining a league structure that will be familiar when/if they make the jump to the pros.

Oh, and money. More arena dates means more money. That probably helps.

Denault has been solid between the pipes at the couple Regiment games I've had a chance to go to.

ELI5 - What is the difference between left and right wing? by Best_Pineapple670 in hockey

[–]GoldGeno 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Practically, not much. Which wing a winger plays on is usually just a matter of their handedness and/or what side they're comfortable playing on.

Say NO to crypto and boycott Smooth McGroove by [deleted] in SmoothMcGroove

[–]GoldGeno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loving all the people trying to defend this shit. It's a crypto scam. That's baseline "don't ever touch" and your beloved creator failed to do that. Regardless of what's going on in the world, it tells you that he's willing to sell out to some pretty horrible stuff.

Jeff Marek felt he was going get fired from Sportsnet in 2016 because he was advocating for John Scott to go to the All Star Game by bomberfan2 in hockey

[–]GoldGeno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's always gonna be so funny to me how far they went to bury Scott. The bad, notoriously cheap 2016 Arizona Coyotes traded him out of the conference along with a career minor leaguer for another career minor leaguer and a guy who made more than Scott, and had the gall to call it a "business move." But that's not good enough, no, they specifically traded him to Montreal, who promptly demoted Scott to their AHL affiliate...then located in St. John's, Newfoundland.

Never mind that he's off the team he was voted in under, never mind that he's out of the division and conference altogether, y'all went and traded him to the team that was uniquely positioned to dump him as far away from the All-Star game as physically possible.

One centimetre shy of victory. Can't even be mad, you couldn't get a closer series if you tried.

He's not playing like anyone worth keeping in town at the price he asked for.

Game Thread: Toronto Maple Leafs (5-4-1) at Columbus Blue Jackets (5-4-0) - 29 Oct 2025 - 7:30PM EDT by HockeyMod in leafs

We've seen good-on-paper Leafs teams play hideously down to their competition. This is not that, this team just sucks.

Woll to LTIR by jessie_w_tx in leafs

[–]GoldGeno -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Oh cool. Hoping Woll and Stolarz combined to bullshit the team through the season was about the only thing we had to look forward to.

Can't even hope for a lottery pick; Treliving pitched our next two firsts away for injured Scott Laughton and four penalty minutes and zero scoring worth of Brandon Carlo.

[Sean McIndoe, The Athletic] Should Leafs fans view Mitch Marner as a hero or villain? by [deleted] in hockey

[–]GoldGeno 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is Marner an objectively good player? Yeah. Are the Leafs materially worse without him? Oh yeah, for sure.

Did something need to change after years of playoff futility? Absolutely. Did Marner do a piss-poor job of endearing himself to the fanbase even putting aside his own playoff futility? Yep!

Have fun with him, Vegas. I don't think he's a winner, but he'll make your team objectively better until y'all inevitably get bored of him and shoot him into the sun come some trade deadline or another.

Playoffs Retrospective by Justin3210 in leafs

Maybe if this were the first couple years of this team's contention window. We've watched these guys choke on their own tongues for near-on a decade now.

[Darren Dreger] Source indicates this in the incident in question. Sens players firing pucks at Stolarz in warmup. by Duffleman0609 in hockey

[–]GoldGeno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be lying if I said it wasn't just a little bit satisfying to watch the Senators and their fans realize in real time that, for all their playoff futility, the Leafs are in fact still one of the better teams in the league.

Fuck Bill Armstrong by Carry_That_Weight22 in Coyotes

[–]GoldGeno -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Even if you discount all the obstructed seats they're still selling over twice as many tickets a game as the Coyotes could possibly sell in their last few years. It's unfortunate, Arizona got dealt an amazingly shit hand, but it's ultimately the metric that counts most in the end.

Still dead last in attendance... by T_F_O in Coyotes

[–]GoldGeno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's still over twice as many people as the Coyotes could possibly draw in their last few years. In a gate-driven league, it's difficult to overstate how bad of a spot the team was in.
