Worst power play ever.

Anyone see Skinner turn around in tunnel and yell what looked to be "you f***** up* at someone on the ice.

Nope. Trade deadline trades happen at the trade deadline

Looks like it hit the tip of the goalies glove.

I don't have any stats to back this up but it seems like every time Tuch is on the ice our scoring chances go up by a lot. The guy is constantly by the net.

Curtis lazar doesn't do that.

I put an offer in for the team last week when my Coinbase account said I had a few hundred million dollars. I hope they didn't accept it because it was an error and I only have $26 in.

That was like two kids playing rockem sockem robots. Most entertaining fight in a while

Cool bro

You expect people to answer questions they haven't been asked? I stealth tank was another posters words that I used. But it is not as obvious as the last when we sold off anything of value. The situation is tough to judge but he's done some good(drafting) and some bad(goaltending). Ownership stripped him of a lot of resources, the top players were counting the days until they could leave, no good free agents want to play here, not many good coaches want to coach here. That takes some time to fix. I think it's closer than it looks. I would say next season we should be competing for playoffs if we aren't there's a problem. Goaltending and some upgrades on defense would go a long way. We have two defensive prospects that should be upgrades coming next year. Finding a good goalie is huge. But we should have ammo to do it.

I am talking about KA. You replied to me so I continued my point. I agree with the goaltending being his responsibility but it looks like it's by design.

I completely understand how waivers work but I also understand that these players are people and can say no. Where did I criticize the GM? So Adams has said since he got here that he wants players that want to be here. What sense would it make to bring in someone that he knew didn't want to be here even if it is on waivers and the player has "no choice"? Now he looks like a liar to the team, adds a cancer to the room to influence the kids and we're back to where we were with Murray

Yes the owners. Not KA which is my entire point. He's cleaning up the mess of owners and former GMs. This is his 2nd year cleaning up a team that has finished last in the league what three times in last 6 years and it's top players all wanted out at the same time. It takes time to fix a mess like that. Expecting him to do it in a year and a half is unrealistic

It's been pretty obvious that this was the plan once ullmark signed in Boston and nobody else wanted to come here except the 750 club. Are you not paying attention? This is a year to develop the prospects. For the most part they're playing pretty well.

Acceptance of reality is a good thing.

Yeah that would never happen. Oh wait a prospect did that to us a couple years ago.

Yes really. I don't think you understand the words you're using. Saying no choice then giving a choice isn't exactly no choice. It happens all the time. The sports world isn't black and white like everyone thinks it is. You would think with KA saying we want players that want to be here all the time that maybe he actually thinks that way

Stealth tank is obviously the plan. Right or wrong that is what's happening. Everyone knew what this season was going in, getting mad about it is just dumb. Goalies are the way they're tanking.

Do you know for sure we didn't offer ullmark that deal? What if the plan is to have crap goaltending and tank again?

How do you know those players didn't say there's no way they're showing up?

What do you expect him to do? No free agents wanted to come here. A lot of players have us on their no trade lists and giving up assets to rush the rebuild is a big reason why were in the mess were in. This isn't KA fault at all. The previous GMs are at fault and KA is cleaning up their mess the right way.

I think they just have to take the floor/cover off the ice and hit it with Zamboni

I'm pretty sure 98% of hockey players have the same personality.

Been hearing more and more people bring up a Dahlin trade this week. I want to continue to try and develop him as defenseman take time but I would definitely be curious what a potential return would look like.
