shrader Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 From Elias: After getting shutout, 4-0, by Toronto on Tuesday night, Buffalo has scored just 10 goals in its 10 games this season (excluding the `goal' awarded for its shootout victory), the fewest goals ever scored by a team through its first 10 games of a season in modern NHL history (since 1943-44). And the best part is that they're actually trending downward: 3 goals scored over the last 6 games, going 4 for 6 in shutouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 At what point does TM fire Nolan? Or does he get a pay raise? Not the losses, but the way they are being outplayed and the ridiculous lack of scoring is what bother me most. I would fire TN today, promote Cunneyworth as interim, and find a new coach in the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 If Babcock leaves Detroit then he's an idiot. He's got it made there. That, or he realizes nobody will be able to compete in 2 years against the McDavid, Reinhart, Grigorenko, Girgensons, Hannifan, Myers led machine playing along the shore of the Erie Basin Marena; so he might as well join 'em. ;) The Q was serious, as I hadn't seen anything indicating that he wouldn't get a deal done but several posters (including some respected ones) have indicated he might be available. Was curious if there was any smoke or just wishful thinking in a long dreary season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's all crazy talk though. Babs would be stupid to leave Detroit. What if he wants to win now? He sure as sh*t ain't coming here then. :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spndnchz Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 It would take a lot for him to leave Detroit. He's pretty well trenched in the city. Detroit didn't offer him the right amount (enough) money for him to re-sign in the offseason though. Ya never know? Right? RIGHT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has to be an attractive roster for a coach if they can sort out the goalie situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted October 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 More noise at my aunt's pinochle game. (she's 78). Absolutely. 4 near octogenarians, a couple of bottles of muscatel, hearing aid batteries not quite up to snuff, and scoring can get rather boisterous. It's been years since Sunrise has been "boisterous." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Another blow to the Jets chances as Evander Kane appears ready to return to the line up tonight Good news there. Any news on the Staals and Skinner? I thought Skinner was back and Eric Staal scheduled to return this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) Skinner has been back, Eric Staal has played one game. Looking at their analytics they are bound to have more losses. And St. Louis Blues Forwards David Backes and TJ Oshie have both been diagnosed with concussions, possibly placing them in competition for the CHL Championship.
