Pimlach Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 It took awhile but I finally reached the point of publicly saying we won’t make the playoffs this year. Why is this so hard when other teams seemingly are locked into it? TPegs bold promises of Hockey Heaven was many years ago ... Reiger, Rolston, LaFontaine, Murray, Tanking, Nolan, Disco Dan, now Botterill and Phil. Are these the guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far JBots has fielded 2 stinkers. Pressure will be on next year. Tim Murray had the shortest stint as a manager in Buffalo Sabres history at three years. Firing a GM after three years is not a routine occurrence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlueGED Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 Of the top 10 players in the NHL, how many hang their hat on physicality? I don't think a single one does. As always, there is a difference in willingness and ability to win board battles and throwing body checks. The former matters, the latter is just something that entertains. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hits, gets hit, and still make the play. His game is all about physicality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you honestly believe Ovechkin's goal scoring prowess is a result of his ability to throw a body check? His goals are rarely derived from physical play.

Because I totally agree. But you said Crosby hits, which is simply not true. I agree he plays a physical game by going to the net and engaging in battles along the boards. But board battles are what people are yammering about tonight, they're carrying on about checking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
