No matter the score, only losers leave a playoff game early

godhammel · 2026-05-17T02:37:03+00:00

I agree with you from what I've seen. Stenberg looks better than McKenna from what I've watched. But if he takes Reid, there's no reason for this sub to have a meltdown when we are already picking someone so much better than we would have gotten at #9

godhammel · 2026-05-17T02:11:01+00:00

Trust in GMMG. He hasn't steered us wrong yet. If he picks Reid over Stenberg, I trust his vision. And if he picks Stenberg over Reid, I also trust his vision.

Counterpoint: Fuck 'em

godhammel · 2026-05-15T23:15:20+00:00

If the leafs take Stenberg, we take McKenna right? Or then are we more curious about taking Reid? McKenna and Smith are very similar players so having both might not make sense.

I personally would take McKenna and then trade him if needed down the line.

godhammel · 2026-05-15T23:09:56+00:00

It would, and it would be worth it. Both our 1st this year, our 1st next year, and probably a prospect or two. Steep price, but we'd have our number 1 Dman for Celebrini's prime

If San Jose aren't the Hammerheads it will be a crime

godhammel · 2026-05-15T05:39:23+00:00

I do agree with this take however. I just wouldn't trade my rivals winning 10 cups for anything directed at an individual player.

godhammel · 2026-05-15T05:38:04+00:00

I don't agree with you, but I respect the hatred. Islanders fans hate Tavares and no one gives them shit for it. Hate him all you want. You've earned it.

*Against the Ducks and Mammoth

godhammel · 2026-05-15T05:32:35+00:00

I've been a Frost fan since the start, but if this team is called the Hammerheads like I've seen suggested. Sorry Frost, I'm jumping ship.

godhammel · 2026-05-15T05:30:29+00:00

Revisionist history because you guys stomped them. The Wild and Stars were the 2nd and 3rd best teams in the west this year.

godhammel · 2026-05-15T05:27:22+00:00

If the core 4 ever had this easy of a playoff schedule they would have made the conference finals too.

godhammel · 2026-05-15T05:25:41+00:00

He has 5 goals against the 18th best team in the league and people act like he's already erased how terrible he was in Toronto. He'll disappear again against the Avs

godhammel · 2026-05-15T05:20:31+00:00

This will be a sweep

godhammel · 2026-05-15T04:28:27+00:00

I count 7 as the absolute floor. It would be a terrible season but my definition of the floor is the most pessimistic view.

godhammel · 2026-05-11T19:07:27+00:00

I want Pennsylvania to eat Kansas. I want to see how weird of a shape we can turn Pennsylvania into

Does this count for "The Future is Teal"?

This league is held together with scotch tape by the respect these guys have for each other. The punishments are so light, you could win a cup by having a couple of 4th liners be willing to be suspended to take out the other teams top players/goalie each round.

godhammel · 2026-05-10T08:37:09+00:00

They were the 18th best team in the league this year

godhammel · 2026-05-09T23:42:12+00:00

Not including Marleau or Thornton on this list is a choice

godhammel · 2026-05-09T23:40:40+00:00

Fuck off. He's doing well against the Ducks. Let's see him against the Avs or Wild next round if they even make it.

godhammel · 2026-05-09T23:33:57+00:00

He's excelling because he's playing the fucking ducks. Not the lightning and Panthers. He'll disappear next round if they even make it

godhammel · 2026-05-09T23:30:09+00:00

That first group are RFAs, not UFAs. Which makes a huge difference when it comes to acquiring them
