My prediction is this game re-sparks talk of playoffs

I would say the fact he’s attempting this means he’s back next year as GM, ya?

Right. writing is on the wall here

He’s a tinder guy That’s 40 assists for Dahlin

It’s cause of his inane commentary Byram is truly lost without Dahlin

Didn’t anyone tell them this season isn’t about winning anyways?

It’s the opposite. It was a terrible idea executed to perfection: we finished last. That’s where the “tank was a success” erroneousness comes in. Building out a roster from a scorched earth tank is nigh impossible The failure was indeed the strategy our failure has been primarily strategy for eons. Our biggest handcuff, by far, by far by far, is that we don’t prioritize winning

No

Sucks to be them!

The funny thing is, if we had a really good goalie it would probably mask a ton of our issues. You just have to look back to the conversation around Hellebuyck when he was being shopped and laugh. And laugh. no room for a good goalie!

Why

9th wonder of the world..

It matters to me. I’m not watching another season with him as GM. It matters because accountability should matter: results should matter. We should have some level of expectation. This needs to be communicated: the players and organization cannot continue on knowing winning doesn’t matter and everyone gets a free pass. There’s nothing that can ever be done about the owner. We can try another GM who maybe can figure things out: there’s literally no harm in trying. 5 straight years missing while averaging 76 points a year all while torpedoing of late means Adams deserves to be canned.

“New 4th line!!!” You should be

Attempting to understand the minds of the exceedingly rich is folly

Nope the only thing that matters when it comes to forwards is sick snipes at 5 V 5. That’s why we are in 29th

You laugh but aside from dealing with Zucker he’s likely done on the F group for 25-26 The F group is 19th in even strength scoring. If that’s the goal, the goal sucks

Stable when he’s on the ice I guess. He’s averaged only 55 games per 82 last 3 seasons

Why was Adams around to make this deal?

Maybe they pin the 5v5 gf% stats up in the room.

17-4-1 is the mark we need, would get us to 89 and a shot at it

Even if we remove the 13 game streak from our pace calculation we are are 89 point team. And, of course, it doesn’t work thst way

Red Wings and Senators both now currently out of a playoff spot. Hopefully not used as evidence for why making the playoffs is “hard”. But those teams are also sad sacks. Not close to our level, but very bad Yzerman should be well gone

The final playoff spot is currently sitting at a pace of 89 points 😭😭😭

I can’t quote my post cause the search seems to be down currently but I agree, and in more ways than one. I’m not signing up for another Adams season unfortunately, if they bring him back
