This isn't a political battle, it's spiritual. This scumbag kills people and now folks are angry at another side of a man made isle. The Devil hates the human race. When anger for other people comes from tragedies like this, evil wins twice.

And he's pure greatness.

McDavid plays some serious minutes.

^ this However, I don't want him to succeed right now because of the draft pick implications.

That's right boys.

As several posters have stated, there's multiple reasons. I also think the coaching is the major factor as that's where the genesis of the other things come from. So in saying that, I think KA should get a lot of credit. He hired Donnie and has been consistent in his philosophy. He said he'd find a developmental coach and let the young kids play. That's exactly what he did/is doing.

For this team to be a cup contender, we'll need it to come from the back end. High end defense and goaltending, with enough on offense and offensive defenseman. Might be counterintuitive to the style Donnie likes to play, so will be interesting to see how it develops.

So you're a hero taking digs at fellow fans and the team?

No, not if we have their draft pick.

I'm perfectly fine with it. Use what little we have to continue playing as good as we can. It's about the team now and what's best for the mid-long term players. We have plenty of draft capital.

May you never shave again and continue to look like a doofus Jack.

What a chance

Yeessssss Beautiful goal

Eichel as handsome as ever.

Very nice write up. Only thing I'd change is Tage being the most consistent player.

No, I didn't act like that. You made that up. You talked about surviving as a franchise based on ticket sales and that's untrue. Man you really need to brush up in basic economics or you'll remain confused.

It's funny how some still think the NFL is funded by game attendance.

When Biron was holding it up during the 1st intermission and you could see it up close and the detail - I thought it was very nicely done.

Our defense has been pitiful all night.

We're getting routed by one of the finest assembled teams in the last 20 years. So what.

The Houston Rockets are the 3rd worst team in the NBA. I understand it's mainly because of Harden's departure but maybe the analytics will bear fruit with all those 1st round picks.

A team of relatively nobody's, playing very good hockey more often then ever could be expected. Granato can coach.

CLT has been the abbreviation for Charlotte since I've lived here and that was 26 years ago.

To me the problem is we don't have enough quality defensive defenseman. DG admits that he's coaching to outscore the other team. IIRC, he said " defense is easy. He also said we aren't trying to win 2-1. He's about moving the puck offensively and we just don't have the players to win like that ... yet. I do agree with his philosophy, BTW. It's just not going to always look good right now. Eventually, I believe it will.

Dahlin in that 3rd goal was atrocious.
