Weave

Bring in a starter quality guy and let them duke it out all season. *it won’t happen. No doubt in my mind we have the same 3 headed monster we ended this season with.

That is why I called it opportunity lost. This team was so much better than expected. Why not capitalize on that? The future is never guaranteed.

No anger here. I ain’t got the emotional budget for that. But this does feel like opportunity lost. And that had to fall on KA to not recognize it and adjust course accordingly. This team was better than expected. Alot better. A goalie and a difference maker, either forward or defence, would have put us in the playoffs. Yes, it appears we had some issues with goalies that didn’t want to be here. In alot of ways, I don’t care. As they say, it’s a performance based business, and every other GM in the league would have been judged on their ability to make those moves happen. Im glad the team is likeable again. I’m glad the hope seems much more realistic this time. But I don’t pay attention for hope. The entertainment the team provides was cut off early because of GM inflexibility. Period. Having said that, he’ll get a feee pass for this season, and I won’t complain about it. Next season however, there needs to be significant pressure to make some noise in the playoffs.

Either way, it was more optimism than factual.

Mostly enforced through public shaming.

I think it’s just a contract detail that needs wrapping up. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Ewwwwww…….

I’m assuming Johnson’s team is trying to apply some leverage to get a promise of a game this season, and that is the holdup. Im also assuming that KA promises that game as soon as we are eliminated from the playoffs, and as soon as we are eliminated he signs a contract.

Center position might have some interesting competition next season. Mitts, Tage, Cozens, Krebs, Jost (is he signed for next season?) Would like at least one of those names stand out as a face off guy and a shutdown guy. We are missing that aspect.

I was there with my GF (wife now). 1st row of the oranges right in front of that cylindrical wall. Crazy game.

End of the second round? 35% is quite optimistic.

Well, that was fun.

I don’t have a good feeling because we don’t match up well vs Carolina. I think its best we didn’t subject the chosen one to the ***** show we might see tonight. I hope Im wrong.

SDS gonna give matter2003 some serious stinkeye raising a dead thread to pat himself on the back.

I’m trying to figure out who the nihilists were in this case.

I only saw the highlight of that sequence. Heard Ray say someone needed to assist Mitts. Didn’t realize Wallman was throwing down with Mitts unprepared.

Different, not better. Dahlin will have the gaudy stats. My guess is Power is going to be more of a distributor and more of a play stopper in our end.

I always assume it’s the scotch.

Is it always you posting game night stuff in an unrelated thread, or does it just feel like it? 😂

Know how I know you are wrong? You are always wrong.

The patient isn’t even cold yet…..

The coaching tree thing intrigues me somewhat. Did any of Lindys Butfalo assistants go on to head coaching gigs? Genuinely curious now that its been mentioned.
