No way...it NEVER happens. **** **** ****

Without a doubt the Pegulas were involved in the decision to get rid of ROR. I thought that was commonly assumed.

AHHHH!@

Dahlin just shoots and shoots. Love it.

So, our guy hits their goalie and gets a goalie interference call, then their guy hits our goalie and gets...nuttin'. Hmm.

Good job, Hutton.

Scandella with some poor decisions.

Meanwhile, Samson has to kick his hangover. If you believe in/value that sort of thing.

Mitts has...finally...had a good all around game. So far.

That was great, sustained pressure. Looked good.

WTF? The third period hasn't started. The second wasn't that bad. A couple of mental gaffs, really. Does Samson usually make an error like that?

Except for what I have proposed. You can't prove the "mysticism" is garbage until all formats and methods have been tried and put under the scrutiny of the scientific method.

The various positions on JBot will never converge unless he wins us a Cup. Only then will there be one focal point to work backward from in assessing his abilities. Perhaps the primary reason for the variety of views is how each person values non-metric attributes (chemistry, passion/intensity, etc.). Some folks completely ignore or discount those attributes as variables in the roster development equation. Others might consider them highly valuable factors in developing a winning team, and therefore frame moves within that context.

Can this possibly be a way of trying to increase Hunwick's value for a trade?

When did Hunwick play last? I can't recall.

Dude...no.

All of this requires some movement which I thought we had going at the beginning of the season, but seems to have stopped altogether lately.

I think it's been pretty obvious, they're concerned with getting set up and then, when they do, skate in little circles. Meanwhile, as others have observed here, the defenders have already set up against Jack and taken away his lanes. So the obvious correction is to get out of the lanes and go somewhere that gives the first pass a chance of happening, let alone being successful.

Have we not been losing for the last decade? Do we see the correlation? I propose something off the wall - surreal GDT titles. For example: Pepper jack my FaCe streets molten space tonight upon the Moon's rise in not Christoper Now that would be different. And maybe the winning formula!

This is such a circular narrative at this point. Sure, Jack needs to make up his mind quicker, but the rest of his unit needs to give him something to make up his mind about. He's effectively left to choose which garbage play is the best garbage play. And then folks will be here complaining that Jack's choice screwed up the PP.

Okay, so picking up from today's GDT, has anyone analyzed the winning formula? If we're going to institute a template, then it should be based on a winning format, no?

Can you quantify this claim? Maybe this is the "new" formula for a winning GDT.

Why should he/she? People are responding. He/she is getting attention. That's the goal, not building relationships.

Crazy, isn't it, that despite the ups and downs this year, we're all (fundamentally) still engaged.
