THE RAT KING

First for AHL Playoffs Game 6 TONIGHT!

Is this the thread?

>>149383720
Difference is Philly lets brown convicts play for them. Oilers only allows Canadian at best, and white Americans at worst.

The most curious case, though, is that of Spence, who is No. 25 on our final ranking...
He dropped in the rankings but went through a coaching change in mid-season, and also had to deal with the sudden death of revered owner Jim Waters...

>919 area code just texted me
Stay away from me Randy

Predicted Class of 2025
Joe Thornton (1st year)
Zdeno Chara (1st year)
Duncan Keith (1st year)
Carey Price (1st year)

Thornton and Chara?
This guy is on crack.

THE HOME OF CHAMPIONSHIP HOCKEY

>>149383722 (OP)
The war better not mess up next season. Come to think of it was the NHL ever impacted at all by WWII or Vietnam?

>>149383777
All of those people are more worth being in the HHOF than Carey Price.
>1 SCF appearance in his entire career in the bubble meme season
Fucking joke.

>>149383777
Chara was a big guy and Thornton was a funny guy with beard.

>>149383800
Price is the only reason the Habs weren't a basement team in the 2010s. Real shame those French fucks couldn't build a semi-decent team around him

ZEGRAS TO FLYERS!!

>>149383821
>Trash player to Trash Team
This is news?

do you think zegras knows what penis taste like, honest question

someone ask grok

It’s been 17 days since DeBoer was fired.

>>149383893
What exactly goes on in Larry's house of hockey?

It's been around an hour since my last Marner

>>149383813
If just being a good goaltender is enough to be placed in the Hall of Fame then people like Hellebuyck, Gibson, Quick, and Kuemper just to name a handful off the top of my head would be first ballot picks. Someone like Tim Thomas should have been in already.
I never understood the reverence Carey Price had.
>But playoff Helleb-
Yeah I know, it's an example.

>>149383921
Big thoughts, some hockey related

>>149383917
Depending on todays results it could be just one more night until Manny Malholtra gets hired.

>>149383917

Ladies and gentlemen, your first overall pick of the 2025 NHL entry draft.

>Trash player to Trash Team
Bouchard is going to the Jets?

Idc if people are calling Zegras trash or gay. It’s just nice to finally be able to talk about my Flyers in the genny. Next up, sign Shabanov.

>>149383933
Price invented modern the goaltending style. There was before Price and there was after Price. Plus he was great.

Should I buy a Nugent Hopkins doll?

>>149383999
It's not a doll it's an action figure and action figures are for cool men, not girls.

>>149383921
By the look of that absolute unit, a lot of eating.
>>149383999
Why? Are you going to play with it? What use could a grown man have for a fucking doll?

Tim Thomas will never be in the HHoF because he didn't want to see Barack Hussein Obungo and might say something to embarrass them

>>149384066
Par for the course for a Dubas-run team

>>149383968
You’re shilling very hard for the 2nd overall pick when it’s pretty clear the isles want Schaefer, who’s better and didn’t have an embarrassment of a 1st round

>>149383722 (OP)
>>149383931

>>149384131
Holy kek

>>149384114
he was injured and his team let in like 8 goals a game, hard to blame him desu. Oh and he played more than 17 games.

>>149384114
They’d be retarded not to take Schaefer but it is the Isles. Watch them go full retard and take Hagens. Would anybody truly be THAT surprised?

Laugh at the oilers all you want Atleast we can keep our star players and didn’t trade a conn smith winner for a second round pick lol

IS THAT A RUSSIAN FLAG???? IM GOING INSANE

Hasek is such a fag

>>149383931
IMAGINE ONLY HAVING FRIENDS AND FAMILY SHOW UP TO THE CUP PARADE HOLY GRIM FLORIDA

>>149384167
Shit bait.
>>149384154
Uber faggot

>>149384146
They want to trade back in for Hagens. It’s pretty clear they want Schaefer.

I don’t even know who is running the islanders organization anymore

>>149384154
>people will die because of the NHL
All part of Gary's plan.

>>149384180
They aren’t moving back into the top 6 lol

>>149384146
They're gonna trade Dobson to Bawston for their 1st rounder and pick both Schaefer and Hagens

>>149384154
He talks like a jew.

>>149384195
Given Hagens might not even be in the top 6, they can find a way to do it. Also Misa could fall to like #3 because the sharks are liking Frondell a ton.

BREAKING NEWS. ZEGRAS GOT TRADED TO FLYERS

Imagine hating this perfect angel

>>149384154
meh, he's a boomer who grew up in czechoslovakia. he means well.

>>149384222
God truly looks over him.

>>149384218
Relax lad let them dwell in their false sense of superiority

>god knows they need it

>>149384219
Haha zegras got traded now he gets to have sex with black men in Philadelphia

>>149384197
Hagens won't be around at 7

>>149384138
i didn't even make this
this was an organic /hoc/ evolution of pure creativity

>>149384222
No wonder he saves so many shots, with Bob and the Holy Trinity there's four people in net

>>149384219
HOLY SHIT LOOK OUTSIDE ZEGRAS JUST FLEW OVER MY HOUSE RN

>>149384244
Nope. Unless two teams reach for Martin and O’Brien which means Desnoyers to Philly

I appreciated how none of the panthers played were thanking god after their win. That shit is cringe as hell in other sports

>>149384244
Philly isn’t gonna take him, Utah wants Martin. Nashville is the wild card. Could just be Martone for them. You’re overthinking how a lot of general managers are acting right now

>>149384229
Canadian NHL teams really are committed to this "false sense of superiority" bit 32 years and counting. This rate even a Mexico expansion team is more likely to win a cup now than a Canadian one.

>>149383743
Yeah

>>149384267
Frondell Matrone Destroyers and Hagens are going to be 3-6.

>>149384296
Yeah I could see it going like that. Really like Desnoyers for my Flyers though.

Who are the flames drafting?

>>149384296
It’s Martin. Hell even McQueen could get overshot. And Hagens has explicitly been pretty much “hey islanders plz draft me I know all the guys from the early 2010’s and actually like them unlike that jew from Jericho”

>>149384330
Philly needs a C pretty bad even after the Zegras trade. Why would they pass on Hagens? Like I said the only way he falls out of the top 6 is if someone reaches on Martin AND one of either Frondell or Desnoyers is still there

Matthew Schaefer, LHD, 6-foot-2 (Erie Otters)
Player comparable: Miro Heiskanen

I don’t always agree with the default, common comp, but when people draw a line between Heiskanen and Schaefer, I can absolutely see it. I’ve heard others use Jake Sanderson, but I think Schaefer and Sanderson defend differently, and I think Schaefer has more natural offense and gets even higher grades for his skating and smarts (two attributes which were Sanderson’s calling card).

>>149384380
Because Hagens can say “fuck you” and refuse. Maybe Hagens bombed his interview with the flyers and he explicitly didn’t like them. There’s a lot more layers to drafting than just “hey, we want this guy and we take him”.

Michael Misa, C, 6-foot-1 (Saginaw Spirit)
Player comparable: Marian Hossa

Misa was the player I had the toughest time with in this exercise. I think there’s a little Dylan Larkin in his profile. I think there’s a little Sam Reinhart in his profile (though he’s a much better skater than Reinhart was). I think there’s some early years Paul Stastny to him when Stastny was a 70-plus point guy, but again, he’s a better skater and will have a better career and a high peak in all likelihood. I think there’s some Logan Couture, but again, I didn’t love it. And then I started going back in time and arrived at Hossa, which felt too lofty as a Hall of Famer but fit for me as a player type. Both are 6-foot-1 and are skilled, but can play in different ways. I’ve always admired Hossa’s career for the different chapters it had and the different players he was over time. I think Misa could become different things depending on his linemates, his role and his usage. It’s still not perfect, but it was the closest I came.

James Hagens, C, 5-foot-10.5 (Boston College)
Player comparable: Somewhere between Logan Cooley and Jack Hughes (but closer to Cooley in style and projection)

Hagens uses the middle Hughes brother, and that’s a comp you heard people use about him early on at the program. But despite the similarities in the way they handle the puck and their skating style, I think Hughes is more gifted/talented as a game-breaker, and I think Hagens has shown a more competitive spirit at the same age, which aligns him closer to Cooley’s style of play. I think Cooley’s a pretty close comp, though I do think Hagens has room to produce a little bit more if he reaches his ceiling.

>>149384418
Yeah idk I just don’t think that’s happening. Think flyers fucked up last year worrying about the same thing with Zeev Buium thus reaching for Jett instead. Don’t think they’ll do the same thing twice in a row

as if!

Why were they selling this at my local store...

Porter Martone, RW, 6-foot-3 (Brampton Steelheads)
Player comparable: Mark Scheifele if he were a winger

Martone uses the Tkachuk brothers and Corey Perry as his comps, and I’ve had other people use each of those as well, but those guys run hotter than he does. I’ve often thought about Scheifele — the No. 7 pick in his draft year — with his 6-foot-3, 200-pound listing, his 35-40 goals and 70-80 points per season, and his combination of skill, size and leadership with average skating. The position is the difference there.


Caleb Desnoyers, C, 6-foot-1.5 (Moncton Wildcats)
Player comparable: A cross between Sean Monahan, Elias Lindholm and Nico Hischier

Some have used Jonathan Toews, and while I get it, I’m not going to position Desnoyers as a future Hall of Famer here. The names above feel more natural and likely comps. All are around 6-1 and are two-way centers who understand the details, the little things that contribute to winning and have provided legit offense (though in Monahan’s case, it’s been more inconsistent). Monahan was taken sixth and Lindholm was taken fifth. I think Desnoyers probably has a better career than Monahan and Lindholm and is a better prospect at the same age, but there are a lot of lines to draw between him and them. Hischier is within reach as well, though I don’t think they fit together quite as well stylistically.

Dupe ass knockoff draft

>>149384504
how hot

too hot

Anton Frondell, C, 6-foot-1.25 (Djurgardens IF)
Player comparable: Higher-end Anton Lundell/Brayden Schenn


I’ve had people toss around Aleksander Barkov and Anze Kopitar, but I don’t think we’re talking about that level of defensive conscience/impact. They’re perennial Selke favorites and two of the best two-way centers in the history of the game. I thought about Sean Couturier, but that didn’t feel like a fit either. I think Lundell or Schenn with a bigger shot and a little more offense (Schenn has been a high-50s guy who broke 60 twice and hit 70 once, and I think Frondell can be a consistent 60s guy) feels closer.


Radim Mrtka, RHD, 6-foot-5.75 (Seattle Thunderbirds)
Player comparable: Budget Owen Power/Noah Dobson

There aren’t many players of Mrtka’s size in the NHL, and I don’t think he has the hardness that guys such as Colton Parayko, Aaron Ekblad, Nikita Zadorov and Erik Cernak do, or the offensive ceiling that we’ve seen Dougie Hamilton get to. I see some Power and Simon Edvinsson in his length, skating and poise, but Power had more pedigree at the same age, and Edvinsson is more physical (the same goes for Moritz Seider). Dobson isn’t a perfect one-to-one, but I think there are some similarities there as well. Both of those names feel a little too high-end for Mrtka, but I don’t think they’re unreasonable.

>>149384520
It's 100 degrees in Philadelphia

>>149384541
in English doc!

Victor Eklund, RW, 5-foot-11 (Djurgardens IF)
Player comparable: A cross between Travis Konecny and Jonathan Marchessault

Eklund’s comp for himself is Konecny because of his motor, but I don’t think Eklund quite has that level of rat. I thought about Conor Garland and Brendan Gallagher for the same reasons, but his game isn’t as muddy and chippy as theirs either. He has the non-stop hunting and tracking, but it’s more direct from one battle to the next, and he’s not trying to hold and pin guys down in quite the same way to be effective on the forecheck. He wants to get in and out of his battles quicker, and there’s more smarts and execution in between, which brought me to Marchessault.


Jake O’Brien, C, 6-foot-1.75 (Brantford Bulldogs)
Player comparable: Wyatt Johnston

There are a lot of parallels between O’Brien and Johnston. Both are 6-foot-1 and will play at about the same weight (a lean 180-something pounds). They impact the game primarily through their offensive and defensive IQs, are above-average skaters and played in the OHL. They’re both from Toronto and have almost the same birthdays. Johnston’s a little more well-rounded, I think. O’Brien has shown more puck skill/playmaking at the same age, but Johnston’s pre-draft profile was obviously impacted by the pandemic, and I think O’Brien should be reaching for the 124-point post-draft campaign that Johnston had in Windsor.

Brady Martin, C, 6-foot (Soo Greyhounds)
Player comparable: Mike Richards/Sam Bennett

Richards and Bennett were two of the comps I arrived at most easily. They’re both ultimate competitors who were/are the heart and soul of their teams, elevated in tough moments, and played with an undying intensity and physical edge despite their average size. I think Martin can be that guy for a team.


Roger McQueen, C, 6-foot-5.25 (Brandon Wheat Kings)
Player comparable: A combination of Gabe Vilardi/Kevin Hayes/Blake Wheeler

McQueen gave Ryan Getzlaf to teams and the media, but I’m not sure I see him as a captain or the competitive center of a team in the same way Getzlaf was. He also doesn’t fit the Tage Thompson or Mikko Rantanen comp that all of the tall forwards in every class seem to give now, and Aliaksei Protas is 240-plus pounds. Vilardi, Hayes and Wheeler are the three I kept coming back to (and not because of Vilardi’s back history, but because of the player). Wheeler also had some of the Getzlaf intensity that I’m not quite sure McQueen has, but all three are really smart offensive thinkers of the game for their size who made a career of having great poise and feel on the puck. I think McQueen’s got a higher ceiling than Vilardi and Hayes, but those guys feel like his floor.

the Brooklyn Americans folded in 1942 (the last remaining non-O6 team) but they always ad financial problems. The O6 had thin roster because of the war so they'd occasionally lend each other players when needed. The Rangers nearly went on hiatus in 1944 because they ran out of players but they managed to pull it together.

Tavares is absolutely coming back. People will piss and whine and cum their pants, but Laffs are largely running it back, just with different cap allocation.

Knies - Matthews - xxxx
Domi - Tavares - Nylander
McMann - Laughton - yyyy
Robertson - Kampf - Jarnkrok
Reaves

xxxx = Boeser or Ehlers
yyyy = some veteran chump

Just tuned into TSN Overdrive.

They have offered Tavares 5M. He wants at least 7M plus term

>>149387103
The southern team may actually win a Cup lmao

Curse John Tavares and his sudden but inevitable betrayal

How far could this team make it against standard regular season and playoff competition?

Panarin - Matthews - Marner
Huberdeau - Hughes - Thompson
Hall - Miller - Pettersson
Lafreniere - Bedard - Duchene

Hughes - Karlsson
Dahlin - Bouchard
Reilly - Hamilton

Hellebuyck

Your team is shit and run by a retard.

>>149387103
>They have offered Tavares 5M. He wants at least 7M plus term
So they say in the media.
That means they've agreed to $6m x 4y with full NMC, and the press conference narrative will be that Tavares is all in. And they'll make sure to do it on July 1, so other news can water down the initial fan reaction.

>>149386849

I'm just suprised he already ripped up to the summer cabin before the draft and free agency.
Looking forward to some summer Yes guy/No guy with Tatti.

My school district did it:
Elementary School...Kindergarten thru 5th Grade
Middle School...5th thru 8th
High School...9th thru 12th

5th Graders had tons of special activities during the second half of the year, but no dance.
6th Graders had a Fall and a Spring Dance.
7th/8th Graders shared a Fall Dance.
7th Graders had a Spring Dance.
8th Graders had an 8th Grade Formal, which was basically a prom but no dates.
11th Grade had a Junior Prom.
12th Grade had a Senior Prom.

>>149387174
Sounds likely.

is this year's draft class good?

Did any of you goym go to your proms? I chose not to because by Junior Fall I was psychotically focused on getting to an elite college, and I had zero patience for anything that didn't directly serve that purpose.

I have plenty of regrets, but proms are not one of them. Seems like it was incredibly awkward, and the guys were at the mercy of their date and her mother...and if there was drama with your date and her friendgroup, you were fucked.

>>149387235
That's a lot of dancing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLLSwHaYk6k

>>149387279
i went to prom with drugs and alcohol and banged a couple of sluts it was kino

>>149387275
Scouts have said it's trash all year, then now a week before the draft they say shit like the 15th ranked player is like Nick Suzuki

ive missed a lot of this thread, can somone give me a summary

>>149387279
I went with a group of people. It was cringe and gay. The after party was also shit. I had been to plenty more better parties. I still have an old disposable camera from that night that has been sitting in a closet for 20 years that I never bothered to develop because I was too embarrassed, but now I want to see whats on it, but there is nowhere to take it anymore.

>>149387275
No generational player.
No franchise-cornerstone player.
Only two guys with elite upside (Schaefer and Misa).
Only two dmen with top pair upside (Schaefer and Mrtka).
The notable prospect falloff point is around pick 12.

So no, this is one of the weaker draft classes of the past 20 years.

>>149387297
I used to go clubbing 3-4 times a week. One time at the forest rave on Walpurgis Night, 9 different people went up to me and asked if I had drugs to sell.

Flyers are winning the 2026 Cup.

This 4chan /sp/ thread, titled "/hoc/", is an ongoing general discussion about hockey, focusing heavily on the NHL offseason, trades, Hall of Fame debates, and 2025 Draft prospects. The conversation features memes, banter, scouting report snippets, and fan speculation. Key highlights include:
Key Discussion Topics:
1. Trevor Zegras Trade to Flyers

Widely discussed and memed. Mixed reactions: some see it as trash going to trash, others are just happy for discussion about the Flyers again.

2. 2025 NHL Draft Prospects

Intense scouting report exchanges and player comps:

James Hagens: compared to Logan Cooley/Jack Hughes.

Michael Misa: Marian Hossa-esque potential.

Matthew Schaefer, Caleb Desnoyers, Porter Martone, and others discussed with player comparisons and predicted draft ranges.

Islanders and Flyers fans debating picks and trade-up scenarios.

3. Carey Price Hall of Fame Debate

Some users defend Price as revolutionary and elite.

Others criticize his lack of playoff success and compare him unfavorably to other goalies like Tim Thomas and Hellebuyck.

4. Hot Weather, Off-topic Banter

Several posts about extreme heat in the Mid-Atlantic, personal anecdotes, and image dumps.

Dog photos, action figure debates, and other casual /sp/ content interspersed.

5. NHL Conspiracy & Banter

Comments mocking Bettman, alleged NHL favoritism ("Garybelt"), and playoff narratives.

Ongoing digs at teams like the Oilers, Panthers, and Maple Leafs.

Notable Quotes

"Zegras got traded to the Flyers – now he gets to have sex with black men in Philadelphia" (shock humor typical of /sp/)

"Imagine never having a cup parade because your teams are all shit – 1993."

"Mitch Marner to a contender? Why? He disappears in the playoffs."

Thought-Provoking Takeaways:
Is the Hall of Fame too lenient on popular players?

OPs should include a grok summary of the previous thread desu senpai

>>149387345
For context, the 2015 draft (which was rated as the best draft class of all time and has been proven to be) had...

1 generational player (McDavid)
1 more franchise cornerstone (Eichel)
3 more guys who could compete for #1OA in a weaker draft class (Hanifin, Marner, Strome)
Like 10 more guys with elite upside
And the notable prospect falloff was well into the second round.

Zegras is shit. He hasn't done anything of note except getting a 3-game suspension last season and that 60pts season was in 22-23. He's a floater who is afraid of physicality and is mainly looking for instagram highlights, which he hasn't done anyways in a long time. Also, Philly isn't exactly the same sort of place as Anaheim and Zegras seems like the type who wants the highlife instead of hockey life. He's not resigning after this season.
If I was Danny, I'd trade Coots while he still has value, then there's Cates and Zegras as centers. Not very good

We do.
A handful of Checkers super-autists follow the Panthers a ton because of how the teams' prospects are connected, but that's rare.
Almost everyone just likes the Hurricanes and Checkers here.

>How do Checkers fans feel about losing the Hurricanes as their affiliate?
It's dumb. It seems like it was almost certainly caused by Tom Dundon doing something stupid behind the scenes to try to save money, but we can't really know what.
It would be nice to have the Hurricanes and Checkers connected again, but who knows when that even could happen, let alone whether the different organizations would be inclined to agree.
