Weave

You should’ve called your doctor hours ago.

We don’t know the timeframe for the interviews. He could have started the interviews in the aftermath of the “Fire Granato” chants but chose to not make a change until after the season.

I’ve been sitting on this type of post, mostly due to laziness. Damn you for springing me to life. Ovie had his office, but what was the difference? Sure, he’s HOF talent, maybe that’s the difference but I don’t think so. I am assuming Washington geared their PP to hide Ovie’s trips to his office, create diversions, and use players freed up when Ovie was being hunted. Would love an outside perspective/analysis cuz their shot from that spot is amazingly similar. It shouldn’t be so easy to neutralize that weapon.

This needs to become a Sabrespace meme.

Have they announced a contract length yet?

It’s Lindy’s mom’s account.

If this doesn’t get at least a drive by post….. We might’ve lost him for good.

Welp, now we know why Matt Ellis was retained. Lindy loved him some Matt Ellis.

The biggest reason why we might see change in the PP units (giggle) is because the 2nd wave is finally reaching a point where they might hold their own. For all the ***** we are giving Tage, Tuch and Skinner in here, they were the only grown ass men on the team that were as likely as not to win a puck battle. JJP came of age this season and could be added, but who else? This is what we had. Next season Cozens will have another offseason to improve. Quinn should get to where JJP got. Hopefully Power does as well. Honestly, I’m not expecting Benson to be there yet. But if Cozens, Quinn, Power all take steps we should start to have options. And the obligatory, KA DO SOMETHING!!! Get an experienced weapon in here.

Are you reading what you want to read in this thread? It’s gotta be 70/30 wanted someone else in here.

No hate here. Beat the odds and then some.

You should be cheering this on. Imagine the traffic potential!

Good call, Nostradamus. 😂

This is offensive. Lets judge a guy based on a high pressure interview. That might just be how he is when he’s nervous.

Welp. Let’s see how it rolls….. KA has a career riding on this. If Lindy fails I don’t see KA working as a GM in the NHL again.

To me it feels like a PR hire, not a hockey hire.

On the day Granato’s firing was announced, I went against the grain at the time and called this year’s failure as KA’s failure. Complicit was the term I used. KA absolutely failed to recognize and address the glaring weakness in roster and leadership. As you state here, this is maybe a borderline playoff roster, even with the right coach. Nevertheless, Donnie had hit his ceiling and it was time to move on. I suspect he’ll be a good head coach in the future if he gets the chance to serve as an assistant under a successful coach. Naive seems an apt description, and one that is readily shed with exposure.

I have it on good authority that he doesn’t even kiss French.

Gat damn. That sucks. Hope you land on your feet.

If the Byram trade was a move to get a player with more remaining contract and similar value to facilitate a future trade to fill a need, I’d be somewhat impressed.

That has been my experience from the little guy POV.

I had one of the songs show up in my Amazon music stream today. I enjoyed it.

I don’t believe they need to be the best players as long as there are enough of them to have critical mass in the room. One or two bottom of the roster guys doesn’t create enough influence to matter. A handful of players sprinkled throughout the lineup does. This team’s biggest mistake over the last decade has been the decision to cheap out on leadership and depend on 1 or 2 leaders, generally bottom of the lineup role players. ROR may have been the only exception.

Ok the data someone else posted used a more reasonable end of the year sample size than 12 games, lol.
