We're back and hungrier for the Cup than ever. :mouf

Dobby's gone but we got former starting goalie Halak as our new backup in his place. :leon

Hoping this year we get a repeat of the flatlining Habs and another Leafs playoffs collapse. :delicious

Well, at least it ended well for their team.

Quote
The Bruins were one of 10 NHL teams with more Americans than Canadians this season; only Pittsburgh had as many — 19 US-born players, to 12 Canadians.

Advertisement

The Penguins were the first to win a Stanley Cup with more Americans than Canadians, in 2016.

This year, the Bruins have to go through the Blues, whose old-school roster includes a league-high 20 Canadians, with only five Americans, three Europeans, and a couple of Russians.

Should they prevail, the Causeway Street skaters could become the most American of all NHL champions.

Post by: EchoRin on August 15, 2019, 04:31:41 PM: Still the offseason so I think this belongs here rather than a new 2019-20 thread.

Red Wings fan here. Not expecting playoffs this season of course. Things should get interesting in the 20-21 season. Forward core looks pretty good and should have more growth beyond Larkin. The biggest thing is revamping the D. Lots of older guys and contracts will end come 2021 and 2022 if I remember correctly looking at CapFriendly. Green, Kronwall, Daley, Ericsson should all be gone at that point. So perhaps some big free agent could be signed potentially too aside from grooming the young D men.

Not sure how much energy I have in reserve after the playoffs... but I'm not worried, my enthusiasm should return pretty quickly. :P
