2020 NHL Off-Season Thread: Who the Hell Knows When Hockey Comes Back

[Richybear]

I'm sure if we combined our rosters, we'd be able to find 3 defencemen, but that would be putting 100% of them on the ice at once.

nono, let them try it.

There was a time in soccer, an older sport than hockey, when teams pushed the majority of their players toward the opposing net, playing with as many as seven strikers. But the notion that more players up front would lead to more scoring, while intuitive, didn’t necessarily produce better offence. As time went on, progressive coaches came to realize they were better off putting more players in the middle and the back of the attack to control play. Fast forward to recent history and there’ve been successful teams that have won without employing a pure striker, or with just one striker in their lineup. Han cites the book “Inverting the Pyramid” as a good bit of background to understand the evolution.

This is so garbo lol
1-Soccer has 10 players on the field, hockey has 5
2-Soccer has multiple formations of how to use said 10 players.
3-Hockey already has that "middle of the pack" player to control the game, theyre called "two-way centers".


Jack Han is usually good with his analysis of hockey, but this just seems to be a case of "thinking too much" and thinking outside the box just for the sake of it.

Retros been released

[Obsidian]

I don't love the Leafs one but maybe it'll look better on players in gear than on a someone wearing an oversized sweater. I see people ripping on the Jets one too but I really kinda dig the color combo.

Sens one is best though.

[Izzy]

They coulda went with a blue and gold angry Buffalo...

Nope, they were so close.

[Cail]

Fuck Carolina

I dont like the font on the logo
Idk why they changed it, it looks weird.

[NynJa]

Fuck Carolina

I agree
Its just lazy
“Retro jersey, k whalers lol ez”

Colorados was shitty too, using the nordiques logo, but atleast theyre keeping the Avs color scheme.

[Melena]

Sharks logo hasn't evolved much over the years, so I'm actually surprised they didn't dig out the old San Francisco Seals logo.

[Vaspinne]

Vegas and Colorado are both dope. Canucks one is really dumb lol

I like the Flames blasty throwback but I already have an original blasty jersey from back then and I don't actually have a retro jersey, so at the moment I'm more inclined to get one of our new home jerseys

[synistar]

Yotes look nice. Ducks have THE MUTHA FUCKIN WILD WING on their sweater lol.

[Judai]

I hate the Screaming Eagle logo, so I hate the Caps reverse retro but this is a pretty cool video for it.

[Richybear]

Canucks missed out using those sick 80's V jerseys created by drunken Picasso or whatever the shit those were about

[Vaspinne]

Yeah seriously. The Orca is their current jersey, it's not even retro =/

[Bombur]

The Canucks Jersey looks like a sprite can...lol I guess it looks ok, but I would have preferred the Johnny Canuck logo.
