  1. Aaaaaaand there is another 5 months of my life that I'll never get back.

    I'm ######in pissed. Nobody is going to convince me that this was the right way to build a winner,… ever,… even if it does.

     

    And Eichel won't do it for me. I want McDavid. To have gone through this to be worth it, "elite" won't cut it. I want "generational."

  2. Lindback is a big goalie, sure, but he's not very good. He was just another of multiple goalies playing way above their abilities because of a system. That system will go which, with the evidence we have, means Lindback's play will dip drastically. Murray is smart enough to see through that.

    Makarov is a question mark, but I doubt he's on this team next year.

    I thought Nolan didn't have a system.

     

    :devil:

  3. Yes. The asteroid was actually destroyed by the nuclear weapon. That's good. Season ticket prices are still going up, and the puffy shirt is definitely in the works. But last night didn't represent competence. A lot of my worries remain about this front office being sharp enough to complete the really hard work to come. If Terry has stopped meddling (too busy with the Bills, told GMTM "do what you think is right" re: Kane trade, has learned his lesson, etc.), that would bode well. The one thing I wonder is whether Murray is still here for a Cup, or if he gets replaced like Patrick did in Pittsburgh after Crosby's first season. Nolan takes us so far, Murray takes us so far and so on. It's a cold biz.

    It doesn't have to be two years. It just better not be sixteen.

  4. Next year will be interesting in the East...

     

    Rangers, Lightning and Canadiens should all be near the top still.

    The Penguins faltered but they're so talented that you have to think they get it figured out and get back in. Will Boston be able to do that, too? Questionable considering their cap situation and the fact that they just don't have a whole lot of scoring options with a defense that will continue to lose parts.

    The Isles and Caps could go either way but will likely be contending still.

    Detroit is aging... Do they finally break? Especially if Babcock leaves.

    Then you've got Ottawa: will Hammond play near this level (if he doesn't leave as a UFA)? If not will they continue the hot scoring enough to push them through to the playoffs?

    Will the young Panthers continue to grow or stay about where they are?

    The Flyers are one of the most talented teams in the league but injuries and poor defense continues to hold them back...

    Columbus should be right back in the picture. The best team in hockey down the stretch.

     

    Then us.

    Good breakdown. I'm just looking forward to see some starting opposing goaltenders next year.

     

    Baby steps.

  5. I feel relieved and I'm glad it's over. I'm also angry at this franchise and at myself. There should be no joy in this. Something nasty was required. I didn't agree with it, but the plan worked. I'll say this openly to any member of the Buffalo Sabres front office who might be listening. I wouldn't walk away from you after 40 years for one indiscretion. That would be like divorcing your wife after your first big fight. I promise you this, however: you pull this ###### again, and I am gone. Ask the Bills. What you did to me was just shy of the Bills taking a home game to Toronto, and that did me in. Whatever. Good riddance, tank. Now go beat the Pens.

     

    Good post. I really don't understand all the rapturous jubilation around here. Relief, yes. Joy, it's going to take a while.

    Not to piss in anyone's Cheerios this morning, but unfortunately, just like when that picture was taken, the mission isn't even remotely close to being accomplished.

     

    Until this move actually turns into wins on the ice, all this means nothing.

  6. This is the Carrion Thread isn't it ?

     

    You know, the thread where fans gather to cheer their team to last place.

     

    For those of you more interested in the team picking 3rd and missing out on a generational talent, why don't you start a "I'm a wimpy fan, without any balls and love mediocrity" thread

     

    No wonder this organization take us real fans for granted.

    There is not a single person interested in that. Not one.

     

    We're just not going to cry like little girls (no offense to little girls) and piss and moan about giving up all hope for the team if we don't get one.

  7. Ennis enters the shower after an intense workout. The light starts to flicker. The hair on the back of his neck stands up. He knows he is being watched. He turns around. Tim Murray is stood there, face masked in shadow. Casually held in his right hand is 2ft of lead pipe.

     

    "You don't look well, Tyler. Looks like you might have the flu. Or perhaps i'm wrong. Maybe you've got a lower body injury..."

     

    Tyler bows his head. He knows what must be done.

    Thank God Ghost is already banned. We might have lost him for a year responding to this post.
