All I'm saying is, the dude signed an offer sheet for far, far less than I would have offered him, and he would have been worth it We could have realistically offered one that Carolina would have been either too nauseous to pay, or actually would have put them in money troubles had they matched But we let MTL give a pathetic offer sheet to him instead that just helped Carolina out Edited November 15, 2019 by Randall Flagg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zamboni Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 I like Risto grittiness. And yet, I would trade him in a heartbeat for solid top 6 help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ROR example is exactly why the merry go round of blaming good players at a meta level (ie not just criticizing their play,which is certainly allowed) is silly and always leaves you in the same spot you were in before, watching said player win Selkes and Conn Smythe trophies after convincing yourselves he was a cancer of a human being and the reason your bad season happened the way it did The problems with this team have been clear and well documented for years, and are demonstrably still present Edited November 15, 2019 by Randall Flagg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard it bandied aboot here off n on. Of course the return JBot got was fair value for a locker room cancer, not a Conn Smythe and Stanley can winner.

miles Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 This game is tough to watch. They are playing with little to no energy until the end of the 2nd. Hopefully they keep that up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 My source tells me that the Sabres are out hitting the Canes by a wide margin. So, I don't know what you are all talking about no grit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a negative affect on the game. It. don't. work. Pilut's better with him. If there is a 50/50 puck on the endwall, there is nobody else I would want trying to get it (maybe Scandy). Dozens upon dozens of times a game, he gets it, slide it to his partner behind the net and they exit the zone (if the wingers don't wet themselves near the blue line.) Doesn't show up on any stat. It's not our defense that is the problem. It's not our defense that is the problem. Needed to say that twice cuz it's been true for years.

His pair wouldn't be getting caved in their own zone the entire game (which the numbers bear out) if he was exiting the zone so excellently so often. I'm not arguing about this anymore. His D pair ALWAYS gets caved. Check the stats. If they aren't enough, they aren't enough. We will not be a good team, ever, if he's leading this team in ice time. 1 minute ago, Randall Flagg said: Risto is worse at hockey than Swamp lets on, but on the other end he's become such a meme for the entire rest of the fanbase that overall he's underrated He is MEDIOCRE to a T. That's it. And you don't win if your team's ice time leader is a mediocre player. I'm totally good with having him if they actually EVER did what they said they needed to do, and play him less. They lean on him too much. I don't care why, it shouldn't be happening. Edited November 15, 2019 by Thorny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
