Randall Flagg Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 I like Ralph, but right now all he is is the head coach of the 22nd best team in the NHL, subject to change in the coming weeks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claim whomever is put on waivers for a roster spot this afternoon. Problem solved. Hutton is another cheap fix that didn't work. I was one who was hopeful when we got him on the cheap, but he is garbage. As the old saying goes, " You get what you pay for". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need 11-12 wins down the stretch to make this season ultimately meaningful in the progression of the franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getpucksdeep Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Not sure if this was posted earlier: Simmonds call into Sportsnet post trade. Summarized- waived his no trade, wants to play a the role and help push to playoffs, Eichel is great, dogs and baby = being close to home is nice. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 I don't think this is a bad add for us, even as a future bottom 6 RW, fills a hole for us at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woods-racer Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 He seems genuinely positive about this trade in that interview. Not just saying the ripe old vet made for TV/radio responses. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-90 W Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Great rental; at the very least it will make us a bit tougher and therefor more palatable to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 I think there is close to zero possibility that Simmonds is re-signed. But he is reasonably likely to add more value down the stretch than Sheary or ERod would've. I also think this was a low-cost way for JB to add a bit of leadership and grit and, in combination with keeping Zemgus and Larsson, send a message to the room that he's willing to invest in their playoff chase. So I'm fine with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm fine with it. I’m not convinced he’ll add more value than Sheary. Erod, sure. Even if he sits more than he plays he’ll bring something we don’t have when he does play. Erod is a lesser Sheary. We won’t miss him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were mowed down by superior opponents in the other 3 SBs. And they were beating Dallas -- a team that won 3 SBs in 4 years -- at the half in the 4th one (at a game I attended, btw), with the ball to start the 2nd half, before Thurman fumbled and Dallas ran it in to take the lead. Their real undoing in that era was subpar interior defense. Marv was a great coach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
