K-9

I’ve seen teams who reflect how they’re coached, but it amazes me how every player on Carolina plays like BrindAmour played. Pains me to say it because it’s the Canes but I like there style.

If my math is correct, 61 points in 45 games works out to 1.36 points per game, the Amerks played 76 games, so it projects to 103 points for Quinn over the full season.

I’m conflicted. I like Ullmark and don’t wish him misfortune but I hate Boston and wish them nothing but misery.

Try to actually watch as many games on TV then. Your eyes can at least see what’s actually happening on the ice vs. whatever it is DD is describing. If radio is your only option, you’re SOL. DD cannot paint a picture with words for the life of him. He has zero talent for creating theater for the mind. He’s really good at features though.

After listening to these guys yesterday and today and comparing their exit pressers to previous years, I can only say again how glad I am that those miserable pukes are gone. We had no chance with those ex-players; none at all. Must have been difficult for some of the players that remained who had to live with that miserable vibe every day at the rink. I don’t recall any of them expressing gratitude for the city or love for their teammates; not once. Nothing but woe is me misery. What a breath of fresh air these current players are to listen to.

Was that ever in doubt since their paper assignment back in March? Awesome. Way to represent, Derrico. Enjoy!

The competition level at the IIHF tourney isn’t as high as you think it is. If Mitts and other players are asked and wanna go, fine. But if they wanna get away from hockey for a while, it’s ok, too.

^This. After he nearly died from his last concussion, I was hoping he’d retire to enjoy his beautiful family and the life hockey gave him. But selfishly, I’m glad he didn’t. He found his game again and we are so better off for it. Hope he plays as long as he likes.

Mule and Krebs will join the boys for the playoffs. I like the Amerks’ chances.

5-2

Gratefulness.

Boston sucks moose ***** Marchand likes it most of all Hall helps him clean up Hall is a disgrace An affront to hockey gods He quit on us all

Except it wasn’t the Sharks that created that message. It was a fan who bought 10+ tickets and fans who do that are allowed to create and send a send a message to their group via the Jumbotron. Creative Sharks fan for sure.

Agree. Eichel is a piece you add, not a piece you build your entire team around. He’s a spoke in a wheel, not a hub.

What the Faksa matter with you?

Does Robertson even have hair on his nuts yet? I’m getting old I know, but these kids keep looking younger and younger.

And that makes him less able to understand angles and positioning? Makes “geometry” unkind to him? If anything, his shorter stature makes him even more reliant on the aforementioned aspects of technique. Which is why Levi is considered so sound in that department.

Importing a star can work as long as he’s the right kind of star.

Harris became the Rams starter in ‘74 when Knox benched Hadl and had a Pro Bowl year. Also became the first black QB to win a playoff game. Was the starter in ‘75 as well and led them to another division title, but he hurt his shoulder and was never the same. He got more than a handful of starts, but never got enough as it turned out.

Levi doesn’t understand angles and positioning? Geometry is not his friend? He’s one of the most proficient technical goalie prospects in a long while so I have to question what this “scout” is assessing, because he seems to be missing exactly what makes Devon Levi such a promising prospect.

Fouts, Moon, and Jurgensen are three that never went to the SB but are in the HOF.

That was after they got shellacked by the Rangers the other night. Doesn’t sound like they wanted to take us for granted if you ask me.

I don’t think he understands how the Islanders feel at all unless of course he knows the Islanders are OK with having their announcers make cheap excuses for their play when they get their butts kicked.
