7+6=13

That's really good info. Just so I understand, you're saying if nothing else is considered, that's the wins needed to get to the % as it sits today?

I honestly have no idea why you wrote this in response to my post unless you're just trying to read your own posts as a get off. Enough for what? I made no excuses and didn't insinuate any.

I agree that it's difficult to know what Pegula thinks. Anyone with an opinion on that, attempts to connect decisions to translation of thoughts. Most fair minded fans understand that and also that there's reasonable potential conclusions that can be possible. My guess is he cares. It would make sense that he'd rather win and make more money as a result. I do wonder if some math can be applied to not spending like he used to? For example, if he spent to the cap or put more resources into the offices - would say an average of 75% full arena pay for that? I'd find that interesting and what could be gleamed from info like that.

Agree that's the situation not winning has put the new hure in. Rebuild or whatever gross term we'd want to use.

I'm not sure how anyone can disagree. The different reasons, as I said, just nullify that he keeps doing the same thing over and over. That's untrue.

The only insanity is we keep saying the same things, ever how untrue they are. I don't excuse TP, he's clearly failed. He's made multiple different types of hires, he's fired people quickly with term on their contracts, he's now kept a GM for too long. Nothing has worked but his decisions aren't close to being repetitive.

I'm really disappointed in Ruff. I thought he'd bring more out of the players than this. If nothing else, I would have bet, he'd demand and get effort. He seems embarrassed and called out the effort tonight, but IMO, that's on him too. Maybe he just doesn't have the energy level anymore but he sounds more like Eeyore than Lindy Ruff to me.

Overall lack of effort.

I'm not sure that's accurate Promo. He's the 19th highest paid by average I believe. It would be on the higher end of backup pay, if that's what he'd be. I just don't see a team trading for that, coupled with the term and poor play.

I never thought about those two stats quite that way. That's a great explanation.

Yes

At 4.75, I don't see it, unless we eat approx. half.

"So"

I thought you were being facetious and others did too, evident by emojis. I'm pretty sure you could have said that much earlier but you had to make sure to insult me before the reveal. You're not the virtuous person, you claim to be. I know, I know, you're just defending an honest question because you've never been a punk before, so how could anyone think that of father swamp. Just curious, why did you remove the word "so", out of the question in this post? Haha. You're boring and everyone knows what you did.

Yeah and you throwing shade is really the best of SS.

Weak

This is why my parents stressed the importance of doing my own book reports.

I think Adams should be fired. I like this current team, from what very little we've seen of them being somewhat healthy. We haven't seen this particular team, fully healthy (starters), at all. I believe there's reason, that I could really like this team. Complete? Certainly not, but there's a good bit of hope. Fans are fickle, emotional, ill informed, smart, irrational, witty, dumb, astute, loyal, customers, disloyal, compassionate, hateful, harmless, and generous. Fandom is a blessing and a problem. A few of my favorite posters agree and disagree sometimes. They've even done that in this thread. I know I've aggravated several of you, I'll call ya, mostly negative posters. I don't really care, because you aggravate me too. I say that in the least aggressive tone possible. I challenge or needle the nauseous repetitive negativity. I also feel the need to call out the hypocrisy. You negative posters can dish it, but you can't take it.

If anyone is wondering if this team has a leader.... It's Rasmus Dahlin. Good on you young man. I like this team and I think we can turn the corner with this roster healthy.

In the suits behind the players.

I know, they did the same thing Saturday.

I honestly disagree. This team isn't a complete repeat of past teams. The injuries are real and the play has been good when important players are in the lineup. Who said anything about youth? I believe there is leadership but it's not enough to overcome. Coaching has to step up and doesn't. IMO, one of Lindy's great strengths was his ability to coach different types of teams. He's lost that.

This is exactly why I'm blaming coaching.

We've had and have key players missing, so I'm not putting this on the players. They've played well enough and have shown an ability to overcome multiple injuries and play good hockey despite the massive rash of injuries. At some point, coaching has to help and be a factor.

Our coaching is pathetic. What should we do about them pressuring us on the PP? They saw our tape and pressed us, we don't change a single thing.
