“Steph Curry”, for the 2,534th time

6K playing well is indeed super key, if that continues it keeps our floor within striking distance of the playoffs for most of the season imo. I need to see better from the second guy still, as our overall results in net still trend to slightly below average, but it’s at least something to work with, right now. I too sense we are at a bit of an inflection point with regards to the season. Adams seemed hesitant to bring up Kulich/Rosen. If these guys prove ready to contribute to the team in a true “worthy of a top 12 role” way, we may indeed have the forward depth needed to secure a playoff spot, regardless of the time we wasted in putting the on-ice roster together. There’s too much runway left to care too much about the slow start if they can shift gears quick, here. If Kulich/Rosen prove not ready to make a meaningful difference, it swings the other way and we are probably still lacking the NHL forward depth necessary for a season where playoffs are the mandate. One thing that is essentially a myth is the, “and then when Thompson and Quinn return we’ll be off and running” line of thought. We will almost certainly be cycling other players through the injury recovery process by that time. The goal isn’t to get to a fully healthy roster, it’s always to find ways to win in spite of it, because injuries, not health, is the day to day reality of an 82 game season

Lol no Have you seen the show Just Shoot Me?

Happy birthday!

I’m never the friend of a friend guy but I can’t sit on this nugget anymore: my wife’s good friend dated Comrie, apparently he’s a pretty aloof guy, to use the kindest term

You white, you Ben Affleck

Oh wow had no idea the Devils were struggling so much until I saw it in the title. Both on a back to back, with young teams it’s prob not much of an issue for either team. A win today gets us above .500 for the second time this season

The fact Mitts jumped at all illustrates that Cozens could also have a jump. I still see Cozens as the LT 2C. I could also see him on RW in the top 6, there’s room there too. But preferably Thompson Casey and Cozens are the top 3 Cs because they seem to be our 3 best centres. If things go to plan one can fill the Roy role. Might even be Thompson in a few years

Slow legs indeed…He’s on his last, actually. Great in the room but if his play continues to decline these kids will have to learn to fish for themselves. Presumably this is KO’s last year in leading them to water: he’s certainly not bringing home many fish outright

Love reasonable comps like this

Asked for a trade under the prism of Adams wanting to rebuild. Just clerical, not looking to rehash Finally a voice of reason

Success- back to .500! Ciao until tomorrow

Good comeback

Getting some puck luck now

See

The first time we’ve benefited from a deflection. Crazy it took this long tbh

@thewookie1 There you go

Come on guys lots of time left

It’s cruel that the player with the longest active playoff drought is on team with the longest drought when said player didn’t even play the majority of his missed years on said team

Yes!

Lol Dive Sorry gotta capitalize

“If that were the case” lol ok fine. You got me. We are “cursed”

Perpetually poor management. It’s not magic.

If we can’t battle back here, after 20 games we’ll have 50% more losses than wins. If I was them, I’d simply battle back as that record doesn’t look very promising.

So, 1, 1A, 2, 2B? Sure
