The fans don’t deserve to have anything stuffed in their faces, good grief “Fans” in quotations? this is Zamboni territory

He kept insurance against the player *he rostered* that was likely to fail to play a lot of games? I guess lol. We will see on UPL. Bit of a broken record but as I always say we’ll just have to see how the results turn out
-
Almost as good as their record while wearing the goat heads I assume a lot of correlation rather than causation particularly given UPL’s poor overall numbers but maybe there’s some confidence inducing voodoo going on, like I’ve recently begun to have no choice but to consider, with those sweaters doing the math, they played at an 87 point pace last season without UPL, and a 97 point pace with him. Over 82, I can’t decide if that’s compelling or not. It’s an extra win every 16 and a half games..it might be something but it could also be coincidence

Why not? It helped Reinhart. I’m not saying CHL is best for them but there’s nothing to suggest they wouldn’t be able to learn a bunch and develop playing there either. He still honed his off ice work while there, on ice against the competition provided

Do what’s best for each player under the context that it’s also best for the team

You’ll certainly deserve the victory lap if he maintains course I’m good with calling him 6K, but only under the condition that when we lose, he’s referred to as Ukko-Pekka Let’emin

He looks twice as old as me and he’s younger than me lol

I assume it was mentioned somewhere in thread that Dahlin’s streak is now at 8 games? Points in every game but the first a stalwart
-
Just got home. Looks like a good win! they should probably just switch to the goatheads full time if it makes such a noted difference. At this point why argue with it

Ya I mean I’m obviously an idiot in general, but this particular case I would hazard to say no one wouldn’t have taken the inference I did, based on what you said and how you quoted me loll regardless, I withdrew my X in good faith. My mistake. -
Mentioned him the other day. Hope he’s doing ok, but it’s probably just a break. Lord knows that can be needed from time to time

That’s fine. And that’s certainly a reasonably strong possibility. But do you ever get tired of being pigeonholed onto one side or another because the person claiming it themselves can only see 2 dimensions and thus can only project the idea of opposing extremes? It’s maddening -

My post immediately preceding. I understand any sort of nuance on this site is unfathomable for a certain (very few) posters who prefer to simply sit on a singular opinion and never shift, but it’s always shades of grey -

Why don’t you try reading my posts rather than launching a pointless Zamboni like crusade. You are too good of a poster to fall into that trap of being endlessly one-note I’ve said countless times during this very discussion it’s too early to judge the results of this season I did not say they won’t make it. Please quote it if that’s what you think. I’m merely expressing the idea that whether we make it, or not, it’s still the line -

I agree with your concern (and your “pulled off the street August 1” point, too). I admittedly don’t understand the position that doesn’t - how couldn’t there be concern, given the going-on-13-years-missed tide we’ve come riding in on? Would be odd to not be worried about the fact it might still be gaining steam. Mathematically, it’s just early still, this season. The math at least can be separated from the dread: there’s plenty of time for this to shift, this season. I’m worried it won’t, of course, but it still very well could and not only due to a huge mathematical unlikelihood. With this much ground still to go, it’s a much better likelihood than, say, the chances of 3 unprovens locking down a crea… wait what -

Almost everyone to a man said the playoffs were the line this season. I’m merely attempting to make sure that’s not forgotten -
Is it essential for you to ignore his first 3 seasons to deliver that answer?

Because Comrie was getting injured constantly *before* he was our guy. You get that him failing to play many games is par for the course, and that the matter of luck would have only applied if he had *bucked* a 10 year trend, right? Why did Dahlin get injured and broken down last year to the tune of his play falling off the map? Bad Buffalo luck? Or are there noted variables to consider. How good was our depth D? Wasn’t it demonstrably bad? Could, perhaps, loading up Dahlin with an incredibly difficult workload the entire year because we weren’t confident in our other players perhaps have something to do with him getting hurt? might the logic of this stance be transferable to other positions?

I’d rather just respond to this if a question, if I may: Is your opinion that there hasn’t been a reasonable avenue for Adams to address the position since he came aboard? Actually asking.
