French Collection Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 (edited) 45 minutes ago, PerreaultForever said: Nick Paul is an example of exactly the type of player we need to trade for, sign and draft. I agree, he and Goodrow, Colton, Hagel, Maroon, Perry, Coleman, Gourde, Jeannot have kept their bottom 6 gritty with some skill. These guys have the ability to move up the lineup and help on special teams. Paul and Goodrow played junior in North Bay, I watched them a lot, and have met Nick.

HumanSlinky39 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 (edited) 46 games in, still haven't won three in a row. We're just gonna have to play out this string and hope something compels KA to move on from DG and his cracker jack staff after the season. I watched about 5 mins of the 3rd period today and turned it off. Apathy is setting in. Edited January 20 by HumanSlinky39 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know I'm living in a fantasy land We can hope that Carolina collapses in the playoffs and the owner wants a change. Brind’Amour would be a good acquisition, Pegula should pay up if he has the chance. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will never forget my 8th grade social studies teacher who’d talk about interesting world events at start of every class (best teacher I had): ”It looks like Gore is going to win it.” It was actually that race that got me into US politics as a hobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewookie1 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Can anyone explain to me how Benson was penalized for doing something every player alive does? This season in the end can be boiled down to the Powerplay being putrid. Our 5v5 scoring is Top 10 this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a terrible giveaway in the 1st by my friend Mitts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad1 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 56 minutes ago, Ross Rhea said: How many former coaches is Terry still paying? A lot. His best quality is his willingness to pay bad coaches after firing them. His worst quality is his inability to hire a good coach. And if you are worried about Terry's ability to pay fired coaches, don't. Terry could pay the salary of every fired coach in every major sport and it wouldn't even form a small dent in his fortune. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season in the end can be boiled down to the Powerplay being putrid. Our 5v5 scoring is Top 10 this year. This is the sort of thinking that’s unfortunately, almost subconsciously part of exceedingly low expectations being ingrained. There are assuredly multiple factors contributing to why the season has been a failure thus far: to try and boil it down to one factor and act like it’s “problem identified” would be a colossal mis-assessment. That’s where the low expectations come in. Our goals against is ranked 20th league wide. That’s not an issue? I guess it’s not, when if you get the perfect result you need from every position, you’ll finish 16th…which is sort of how we operate. If everything goes perfectly to plan and 6 players have career years at once, everything will be fine. It’s overall team D. It’s the power play. It’s even strength scoring (not specifically 5 V 5), it was the goaltending for the first 41 games..it’s the coaching..the record is reflective of several factors Multiple factors is how you get a 13 year streak when the odds are theoretically 50/50 every year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorner Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 (edited) Columbus (28th) and Buffalo (26th) are tied for 5th (with Winnipeg (1st)) in 5 v 5 scoring. Ottawa (29th), is next. It doesn’t really seem to correlate to anything on its own, the defensive variable seems to MORE than offset it. Pretty interesting, tbh. Defensive ranks, 5 v 5 goals against? Winnipeg 1st Buffalo 23rd Ottawa 28th Columbus 31st If you had to guess the standings from a metric, take the inverse of goals against Edited January 20 by Thorny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At worst, it can be those things you described. If I'm in a position where my livelihood depended on the promotion of gambling, I'd find another job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabremike Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 This organization is a pathetic country club which is why Donny and his incompetent staff have jobs for life. Note how they no longer salute fans after their rare home wins after the Fire Donny chants? Too bad nobody in the local hockey media has the courage to point any of this out.
