Weave

What am I seeing here?

In my top 3 Coen bros. movies.

Why assume the worst? People leave jobs for non-nefarious reasons every day.

Only if I am included in the bourbon-y portions.

I think we’ll get away with it in the regular season but it will be very evident in the playoffs. There. I said it.

That is awesome.

Seems like quite a few seen-Billy-Joel-multiple-times people replying. Add me to the list. From my perspective there are two reasons to choose the concert over the game. 1. A chance to go with Mom is always a good reason, and 2. Billy Joel is damned near a sure thing for getting your entertainment money’s worth.

Great observation.

Really liked the pace in the first two periods. And really liked TTs game. Sam did a nice job playing set up guy from the wing. That might be a good role for him. Casey...... every once in awhile the kid shows some real flash. I hope it comes together soon. He’s hot the skills. Ill say it, Sobotka looked OK moved up in the lineup.

I'm not sure why you're trying to engage me. It wasn't my point being made.

I can't believe how many people haven't figured out Pi yet. He's insinuating that the kid is gonna jump ship.

Bailey is barely a good AHLer at this point. He's seeing 4th line duty all too often.

I’m going to guess that the idea of Casey on the ice against the opposing teams best offensive players scares PH as mich as it scares me.

That doesn’t help me...

And Ellie is still in the lineup....

Whatinthehell is a kizmet?

Drug addiction is an illness, no?

Mailing in has implications that weren't intended. Call it for lack of a better phrase.

That would be a home run. Not sure what it would take to get him, or what our cap implications would be though

I totally disagree with this. We were not playing complete games during that streak, and I mentioned it would bite us as the season progressed. Outside of a couple of games against Tampa and Toronto, they were mailing in huge sections of games but still managing to win. Now, their current performance is more the result of missing Eichel, Girgensons, and Berglund, but the team that was on a 10 game win streak was going to have difficulty in the middle to late 3rd of the season anyway because they weren't consistent with the way they were playing.

This about sums it up. Berglund is a bigger hole than we want to admit. Bergkund and Girgensons is a bigger hole still. Berglund, Girgensons, and Eichel is probably insurmountable. And even with all 3 in the lineup we still were deficient at center. A good GM finds ways to fix the center hole without handcuffing the future. I'm not interested in using the future as an excuse to reduce the holes today. Good teams find ways to do it all the time.

In.

and....boom!

I did read it. The context wasn't obvious. The post fell in a conversation about calling kids up to change team performance. Ugh. I don't want to think about the possibility of yet another lost season....
