That would be the ultimate weakest reason to hire him as a goalie coach. Does he have any kind of history at all… Of being able to actually coach the goalie position?Does he have any kind of history at all… Of being able to actually coach the goalie position? there’s also something to be said that… You can only squeeze so much blood from a stone with the talent level of our current goalies. I don’t know if the best goalie coach in the world… Could make our current goalies that much better. A little bit better? Sure possibly. Yeah i tend to agree. Some kind of brand ambassador maybe but why would i hire a coach who's never coached? 1 minute ago, Buffalonill said: You guys honestly think they will bring in a Goalie ?

In The Buff Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 26 minutes ago, Buffalonill said: You guys honestly think they will bring in a Goalie ? They don't care about winning exactly! They knew what our goaltending would be going into this season & this is what they wanted. We're spending $2,127,500 on both of our goaltenders. Only Arizona spends less. You get what you pay for & this was a strategic decision. It'd make absolutely no sense to suddenly break from their plan & make a move for another goalie. Unless we're talking Kenny who works in the concession stand or some other scrub who'd cost peanuts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Bales is fine. He is trying to make a silk purse out of the sow's ears which the GM gave him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_sauve28 Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 Goalie trade that didn’t go so well Andreychuk Daren Puppa 1993 1st round pick (#12-Kenny Jonsson) February 2, 1993 Grant Fuhr 1995 5th round pick (#119-Kevin Popp) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuuka Rask is an UFA coming off hip surgery to repair a torn labrum. He wants to sign with BOS tho. "I was told originally that the timeline for him to return to play -- wherever that is, whether it's Boston or somewhere else -- would be January to February. I guess the best I can tell you is he's on target for that," Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I think that @PromoTheRobot is a goaler, but his knees are shot, well replaced already. He might have a few wins left in him. I've been debating giving it another go. I need the exercise. I'd have to change how I play totally though. First step is trying a few stick-n-puck sessions.

Too bad it's not purple. And let's not forget that other useless idiot of a GM that shall remain nameless. And the guy before him too. The goaltending has been an issue since Miller was banished to Southern California. Therefore, that is where the bar should be set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewookie1 Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 I still believe if there was a trade out there that wasn't absurd, like trading our 1st for a goalie, we would have done so already. Most of our trade target ideas have been just as bad as what we have already. Korpisalo and Georgiev for instance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree. Bales has gotten far more out of the guys he's been given to work with than anybody had a reasonable expectation to achieve. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the dentist recently and as the nitrous was about to be applied, I said to the hygienist, "Excuse me while I kiss the sky" -- and got a blank stare. I said "please tell me you get that," and she said she didn't. Not as big a bummer as the dentistry itself, but still. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't a teenage girl we're talking about, or a B side from a marginal Rush single -- this was a 32-ish woman, and it was Purple Haze. I'm entitled to expect her to be familiar with Stairway to Heaven, Sympathy for the Devil, Baba O'Riley and Purple Haze. Otherwise how can I trust her with anesthesia or sharp instruments? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those songs are old enough that you shouldn’t trust someone with sharp instruments if they are familiar with them. #shakeyhands #essentialtremors Edited November 23, 2021 by Weave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think of how much better things would have been last year had they just made a waiver claim for Nedeljkovic.

If you can call it a plan at all. Agee. Not sure Ulmark ever was going to sign. Where they messed up was letting him get to fee agency. Having said that I'm not the biggest fan of giving him what he got. To inconsistent and injuries worried me. He could be lights out in stretches and not so great at times. Don't look at him as long time #1 personally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can call it a plan at all. They cocked it up 2 years ago when both Samson and Linus would have signed long term deals. Before Jack said he wanted out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
