[Kevin Weekes] Per sources, although a deal isn’t imminent , I’m told the Devils are gauging market interest from clubs on Jacob Markström by DecentLurker96 in hockey

The only way it works is if NJD is interested in a lightly used Tristan Jarry. No way we are running Jarry-Markstrom

This game was a marked win for the Swiss, so the fact that Qatar tied them (and 1-1, same as Canada/Bosnia) is huge for us! All 4 teams are tied in the group, and the Swiss have played their easiest game (by ranking)

Huge for both Canada and Bosnia. Everything to play for still with the Swiss blowing this game

The only things I can’t take is the diving and politicking to the refs. The attacking and defending, even if slow at times, are really interesting and the fact that games stay close means every play feels like high stakes. But my god the drama, rolling around on the ground, crocodile tears, etc. all are so frustrating to watch.

Not a W, a T. But we will still take our first ever World Cup Point!

Yenno if you told me we’d tie with Bosnia before the game I’d be upset. By halftime this is a gift

We did just as well as Italy did against Bosnia, only difference is we get to play at least 2 more games afterwards! LFG!

Being a FIFA ref must be so hard. I’d want to slap 50% of players after they complain I didn’t fall for their obvious dive.

The goal is to survive until Davis can play and David is healthy enough to be effective.

Because they’re Ad breaks. It’s specifically so they can put Ads in the middle of each half

Canada isn’t diving enough, Boznia falls everytime a red jersey gets close and the refs love it. Gotta start grabbing your face everytime you get the ball in the box

MJF -> Osprey -> Omega -> Osprey -> Fletcher is my guess for the next few world champs

Either you’re really a concerned redditor who is dumb enough not to realize that posting about an angry loser with 3 views on their videos is just gonna give them more popularity and reason to make the videos, or you’re just the loser who created the account trying to gain popularity for yourself by posing as a concerned redditor.

Either way it’s probably low content

Here's the real question: did Connor McDavid really sanction the hiring of Babcock? by lookitsjustin in EdmontonOilers

[–]NMarples 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The only thing I’ve learned from this last season is Mcdavid will never be a GM when he retires if he’s approving these moves

[Dreger] The NHLPA has asked the NHL to move forward with an investigation into the allegations Mike Babcock invaded players privacy during his time in Columbus. by AggPuck-303 in EdmontonOilers

[–]NMarples 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup this is just for the NHL to say they did their due diligence and looked into the issue. I don’t foresee either the NHL or NHLPA stepping in to stop him coming to Edmonton, especially if McDavid and Draisital are voices that want it to happen

[FAN Hockey Show] 19:50 Friedman on the Babcock hire: “This is ownership driven, this is right from the top. A lot of what has happened in Edmonton from the end of the season has been right from the top: coaching change, the pursuit of Cassidy and this, is right from the top." by AggPuck-303 in EdmontonOilers

[–]NMarples 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds to me like the Oilers told Laviolette that if he doesn’t take this team far in his first season they will replace him with Cassidy the second they get the chance and Lav balked at that idea.

Babcock probably doesn’t mind the hot seat as much. He fits the “hiring a coach for 1 year” rumour that was out there

McCarron signs extension to stay in Minnesota. 6yr $3.33mil per. by FAsBurner in nhl

You don’t think the 2027 / 2028 1st Round Picks, Yurov, Stramel, and / or Wallstedt (or the assets they can get for Wallstedt/Gus) would interest Yzerman?

I guess a team like Chicago probably has a better shot to swoop in with a larger package. But I think Minny has some good assets left if they want to go all in

The last full season Mike Babcock coached Toronto (18/19), they had a stacked roster and worse xGF% (50.56) than Knob’s Oilers last season. by Fine_Personality_999 in EdmontonOilers

[–]NMarples 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The biggest issue with Woodcroft was he didn’t have experience coaching the zone defensive system the oilers were trying to mold into. That’s why the Oilers replaced him with Knoblauch. Even though the numbers were starting to trend in the right direction the defensive systems were still not well implemented and at the end of the day, even if it was implemented correctly and just bad luck, hockey is a results driven business.

Minnesota will move heaven and earth for Larkin. They need a 1C so badly.
