It's hair, it grows back.

Nilsson getting into the Red Wings heads.

Never witness an open net goal on your own goal.

Sooooooo close!

Please challenge Detroit.

Its why I love Rob.

Seeing eye shot. A one time slapper that look like a bat flying.

Playing defense. Remember our coach stresses defense first. 2-1-2 scheme.

Unlucky bounce off the boards to a Detroit player open in front of the net.

Just witnessed another stretch pass to a stationary forward. Time to drink and swear.

Cross bar is our friend tonight.

Sorry, but no pressing till down by 2 goals.

Good to hear RJ call Ennis's name.

I bet they get 2 out of 3 right tonight. Fedun and Falk start the game and have a nice first shift. Bad luck for McCabe.

What are Rob's keys to to nights game? Holding my breathe in anticipation.

I would gladly take a pass at ever having seen (let alone multiple times) or having the ability to see the other two, just to witness this one once.

No, cause that's what it takes to make the playoffs. We want to win more games than lose (including SO and OT win/losses) because that is what it takes to make the playoffs in today's NHL Doesn't matter where the win % line is drawn, just as long as your're on the *making the playoffs * side.

I'm taking a drink for every ill advised stretch pass out of the zone to a stationary forward then swearing at the tv. I wish it was a new drinking game, but the reality is I've been doing it for a year and a half.

You have only made True's post look better with the second of your posts. They had all the pieces in the minors for years waiting for Toews and Kane. It was a generation of suffering that exploded with winning once the final 2 pieces where put in place, that only came into place by sucking the best a team could suck for 2 years. AKA tanking. The Sabres are running the polar opposite *tank* style. Quick, and the pieces are up front. And by quick,I mean 5 years, cause we know it won't be three. But it also wont be for a generation.

I know, but reading through the GDT the next day becomes more fun when I can have some fun with posts. Sorry it was you. If it helps, no matter how your day goes, you will always have that *at least I made one person feel better today* feeling. :D

I really like how you put this. How would you judge strength of schedule for the rest of the season in you analysis? The second half of the season is tougher than the first opponent wise, plus a really tough western swing. You know the answer to this. Let the DD hate flow through you. Use the d4rk-force. It's flowing well I see. :devil:

The Politics thread has been closed down and this place has been very nice and fun. This is exactly what it doesn't need.

I agree, GMTM didn't see this coming. But if he is patient, he gets a new coach of his choosing and 1-2 slots higher in the draft. I still believe the coaching change will come during the A.S. break with Uncle Terry taking over. Then a GM hired coach , with a Pegula blessing will happen over the summer. I still believe that Dan is a great practice coach. Drills the fundamentals and relates to the players very well. But his inability to implement a game plan based on player strengths is just mind boggling, and being used by TM to his advantage. It's my tin foil hat theory and I'm sticking to it. :nana:

This I don't believe. He doesn't like to lose, that's for sure, but he knows the talent on this team and expects a lot more.
