SDS

Eakin is the guy who came up with the photo shoot costume. He’s not a nobody. Half the guys on the team our talking about a brotherhood. I’m not sure everyone’s reading/listening to their comments.

What about two years?

Senator Chuck Schumer in Buffalo today, mentioning that money from the latest federal spending bill will be used to directly connect KeyBank Center with the DL&W Terminal via some sort of tunnel. Off the train and into the arena without going outside.

I’m not really sure how valid fancy stats are to this specific team. DG hasn’t been looking to maximize player usage all year. he’s trying to improve everyone’s weaknesses, not just leverage their current strengths. For example, he recently just commented about various centers playing wing. He said he is specifically playing certain natural centers at wing not because they would be better there, but so that they will be better centers/wings ***next year***. what nobody knows is what DG told #10 to work on prior these past games. He may have done exactly what DG asked him to do, but was not rewarded with a rise in fancy stats.

There are a lot of takes in here that don’t have the benefit of hindsight.

I locked it because it wasn’t supposed to be a generic topic about who we should and should not trade. It was supposed to be a topic about what happens to a close team where there may be 50% turnover in one or two years. I don’t know where I went wrong in the phrasing.

Coaches get hired and fail all the time. JB was looking for his Granato, and he came up with Krueger instead. He was on the right track, but his selection didn’t work out. It started out pretty good, it just didn’t end well.

I guess I was not able to articulate what I was hoping for in this topic. I tried several times to talk about what may happen to a tight team once you start replacing the players… i’m guessing this was just a poor topic.

It looks like I asked this question poorly. I probably shouldn’t have alluded to specific people. My whole point is that while people are commenting on how tight this team is becoming, this team is going to be demolished in short order. Perhaps quicker than you can assimilate the pieces.

Really? I don’t see that happening even a little bit.

Who were you slotting him behind?

Eakin is the guy who came to my mind. But I think a lot of these other guys are just so happy to be in the NHL, like Bjork, that they readily embrace anything they can. I wonder what happens when they are replaced with more talented players?

I can’t imagine what you thought the fine part was about it. I am not an announcer guy and I wanted to fling a brick through my TV.

But what happens to this tight locker room when half the players get shipped out relatively soon? 🤔 Are any of these jags glue pieces?

Lowest save percentages since Jan. 1: 1. Jonathan Quick: .879 2. Jack Campbell: .882 3. Alex Nedeljkovic: .884 4. Martin Jones: .884 5. Jon Gillies: .885 6. Petr Mrazek: .885 *Min. 10 starts

Did you watch the same broadcast as we did?

He had one funny line where he said he was still banned from midget hockey. Other than that, I found most everything he said for a full 2 1/2 hours to be rather unremarkable.

That was me. I made a joke and got no validation. Lol

Yet, everything that’s coming out now, says Jack was a selectively good teammate to some and a crappy one to others. Seven years later and he still has a poor grasp of the reality around him.

Suck it Jack.

😡

I saw that. I guess it just didn’t hit my funny bone.

I don’t get it.
