thought I heard B's are without half the team due to injury...
Both Nash's and Carlo. The rest are back, but I don't know if they are 100%. The Rick Nash trade looks like a huge deadline bust for them.
-
I'm sorry, but ROR has not won at the pro level. What did he do when Murray gave him the huge overpriced contract? Got drunk and crashed his car into a Tim Horton's. What a leader! No, he can go along with his losing lost my love of hockey attitude.
-
I'm sorry, but Chad has never been a good goalie. A few hot streaks in his career as a career back up. Calgary ditched him and they had goalie issues. We should have traded him to Vegas or Pittsburgh back when they both had injury problems. Tank goalie. Bye Chad, have fun in the KHL or Swiss league.
If Chad is our goalie next year we will be dead last again.

Maybe most people don't see it the same, but I think JBot planned all this. He's smarter than Murray, but this was a tank year, they just disguised it well cause they knew there is no way they could sell the idea to this fan base again. I have to believe this to have hope for the future. Housley was chosen to coach Dahlin.
It's possible Eichel was in on it too. He will be named captain. There is no other choice, he has the contract and this is his team going forward. Top 10 scorer next year if healthy, mark my words.
ROR wants out, and they will move him. HE IS A LOSER. His attitude may very well be contagious. Talented, but a loser all the same.
Not even sure Lehner was hurt at the end but he will be gone too.
I firmly believe this team will be all youth and speed next year and we will look very much like the Leafs did last year. Well on our way to a turnaround.
Unless we lose the lottery yet again............

One word.....FU*K the Bruins
Looked tired against Florida. Speed of the Laughs should win out. Don't care though. If this was old hockey Pitt/Philly would be fun, but it's not, so Penguins will destroy them with the PP. Still think Nashville over Tampa in the final barring major injuries that can change everything.
-
Maybe the core, or key elements of this team, are uncoachable. Maybe.
They certainly didn't improve over the course of the season. We aren't like Florida that started slow and ended upwards. We started as disorganized crap and we ended as disorganized crap. Does anyone actually think this roster looks promising for the near future at all?
-
It's a perimeter team, he'll fit right in.

Ah the TM approach!
What are you trading to get Karlsson? They want an arm and a leg. They will want Risto back. What are you paying Tavares? 10 a year for 7 years to a 27 year old. So you got two stars, one of which, Karlsson, may already be declining and killed our cap situation.
Hell no, the fantasy is we take the Bobby Ryan contract and throw them a few draft picks, that's it. Not giving them anything AND eating that contract.
Tavares I would give the money. Okposo had his best season playing with him. Even Moulson had a good year on his wing. Makes everyone you put beside him better. One of the most underrated stars in the league. But no way does he seriously consider coming to us. If there is a rumor, it'll just be a negotiating tactic like we've seen before.
-
This team has an identity. Unlovable losers.
-
Here's one for the fantasy world. Win the lottery, draft Dahlin. Make a deal with Ottawa for Karlsson by taking on the Bobby Ryan contract. Now imagine a D with the Housley system where Karlsson and Dahlin are your first pair and Risto and Scandella are your second...............................
-
I thought we needed more grit. Or identity, or puck moving d-men, or better goaltending, or secondary scoring. The Sabres just need better players, all acrost (:woot:) the lineup.
Well ya, we do need everything. Absolutely true. Gets kind of depressing to think in those terms though.
-
I said no earlier but now I'd say maybe they are worst ever. Don't see much silver lining on this season unless we get Dahlin.
-
This team would be in the playoffs with Hasek.
He was that good.
He was that good, but I doubt it. We would lose many a game 1-0 or 2-1. Better in shootouts though, if we managed to get to them.
Dahlin changes everything, but it is still a lottery.
-
Most improved? I dunno, I guess Nelson but really does it matter?
So many disappointments. Too many. Big one for me was Ullmark. Honestly, he didn't look that great and if he isn't, well we don't have a goalie.
Jordan Nolan's been a huge disappointment. I thought he might bring a little fire and physicality that would rub off on others but he was just disinterested most of the time. DesLaurier wasn't any good, but he was better for Montreal than Nolan was for us.
Eichel still has a only plays when he wants to attitude so that's huge too. I think he'd be good on a winner, but no way is this kid going to be a leader.
I was trying to give different answers from the previous, but heck, just say everybody and everything.
-
how did he look like ?
Good wheels on him. Went to the open areas often enough so got some chances, but also showed a complete lack of ability to handle the puck and totally missed on a perfect set up. Personally, I think it best to consider this pick a bust and move one, if he surprises great, but it is a long long long shot at best.
but also this team displays such total lack of organization/team work on the ice that who can really tell what anybody is supposed to be doing at times. ERod passing to the point which Scandella had already vacated and Scandella dropping it for Mittelstadt who had no idea it was going to happen and then fell on his butt trying to turn back for it giving Ottawa a clear break, well those are plays that sum up the year and the state of the franchise.
-
Pouliot looked like an avalanche crashed onto a train that had crashed on the side of a mountain last night, so I'm guessing he's sitting.
If I were Housley the lines I'd put forth are:
Nylander - Eichel - Mittlestat
Baptiste - ROR - Reinhart
Okposo-Rodriguez - Girgensons
Wilson - Larsson - Pomminstein
Sit: Pouliot, Nolan, Porter
I don't think the lines will look anything like this. My head might explode if Eichel is not playing with one of the youths.
Well you don't call up Porter to have him sit do you? Sit anyone from your 4th line. Any veteran really. Doesn't matter. Not like they actually want to win the last games is it.
-
I would like to see Risto, Scandella, Guhle and 3 guys not currently on this roster.
Until McCabe falls to #6 on the depth chart this D will still not be good enough.
-
lol - I love all the nonsensical trades that overvalue players on a dead last place team - keep dreamin' boys, ya got to believe!
next season? Somewhere in the bottom 10 unless we get Dahlin AND somehow bring in 3-4 impactful free agents or rookies. Playoffs would require a miracle only dreamt of so far.
-
Can't believe Hartnell got 0 games for this.
-
The bottom line is fear. Our players have always been cowards, since the beginning. Even Perreault had little to no character.
Perreault wasn't a fighter but neither was Wayne Gretzky or Mario Lemieux or countless others. We've had our share of character guys. We need some now, but to say "our players have always been cowards" is ridiculous. Remember Schoenfeld Cashman through the boards? Korab, Playfair, Dudley. Peca. What about Barnaby, Ray and May on the same team? We've had our share, it's not all about Miller vs. Lucic. If the argument is we need more character on this team I'm with you, but saying we've always been cowards is ridiculous.

One of the hardest to watch games of the year. Truly showed the difference between us and them. We are rubbish.
-
I just don't want Casey to fall victim to the predominant lack of work ethic, or not knowing how to win, compete level, whatever you want to call the culture that has been a part of this team over the last era. Until we develop some true leaders and have a team attitude that is better, I don't want young impressionable guys cast into high expectation roles. I know we beat them a few times this year but the reason the Bruins are in first and we are in last has a lot to do with the fact that there is massive team spirit on that team and an expectation that you work your ass off. A lot of their players are not better than ours, but they give a heck of a lot more effort night to night. We need that here, and the only way young guys like Casey will bring that is if they learn that is the way it has to be, and they can learn that in Rochester first and then come up as the new leaders themselves.
-
You can't measure any of these players by their performance after teams stop taking us seriously. It's nice that he has had a good second half, but I want full seasons before I jump on any bandwagons.
-
What we need up front is more snipers. Guys who can finish and put the puck in the net. Most of our young guys like Bailey, Baptiste, ERod, also Girgensens, and so forth, they have the speed and they can generate offense but then one of them shoots wide or easy for the goalie or makes a bad pass or just loses it along the boards but the pressure amounts to nothing. We need pure goal scorers.
(along with a goalie and a D :))

Eichel.
I think that is the only piece definitely in place. JBot will move anyone else if he gets the return he wants.
Having said that, I think he will try to move as much as he can.
