WTF Iafallo

 

[Little Psycho]

Feels definitely like a game quick will fight in

 

[head eyes]

You’re absolutely insane if you believe that it’s a perfectly good idea to use an unproven goalie with the other options being way over the hill Quick and Petersen. Lol absolutely lunacy.

Bro what the hell are you talking about? Stop implying things I'm not saying.

 

[kingsboy11]

oh god this game has too much going on right now its hard to keep up

 

[Bandit]

Say what you will about Durzi. Dude has fire.

 

[TwzKing]

Btw good save by Quick on the give away

 

[Sol]

Quick should stop beating around the bush and just start swinging for once

 

[The Butcher]

Oh come on.

He's played 2 games in the NHL since 2018. He's undrafted, 31, has a sub-.900 save percentage, and career averages of .900 in the NHL and the most pro games he's played in a season is 41.

if you think 13 games of barely average goaltending followed by 3 stinkers after that kind of pedigree is reactionary...

He is what he is. Admirable effort but the road to the NHL is littered with guys who can play 30 games at a high level and then turn into a pumpkin. This is exactly what we were worried about in the "extend Copley" thread and have had a million insults thrown our way.

I think it's a tougher and more complicated move than it's given here. How do you trade for a goalie when you already have 11 million tied up in 2 guys and only have 1.5 in cap space? Especially when every other gm knows if your goaltending problems, meanwhile you have an unproven guy on a 10 game heater. I'm no Blake fan, and yes his prior mistakes are at play here but I just don't know what his move should be.

 

[KingsFan7824]

Is it just me or is like 3 of every 4 games we play in Nashville a total f***ing circus

Usually it happens in LA though.

 

[Sol]

Bro what the hell are you talking about? Stop implying things I'm not saying.

Lmao you said we shouldn’t trade for a goalie because Copley is 10-3. What are you saying because I think you’ve moved so many goalposts that you’re forgetting your original implication

 

[TwzKing]

Also Faust "rewind that and hold onto it" bothers me so much lol

 

[Steve Zissou]

Say what you will about Durzi. Dude has fire.

I think he's just trying to see how long he can keep his mouth open as wide as possible.

Find a way to make a trade for an average goalie with NHL experience. Doesn’t seem too complicated. There isn’t really room to f*** around and find out. They’re trying to make the playoffs not miss them.

 

[Shellz]

Does quick think he’s helping his teammates by coming out of his net.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Who would you have serve Quick's major?

 

[Sol]

I like how the first picture is Brown boarding McDonagh lmao

 

[KingPuckChoo]

When Copley lets in two goals in the first minute, they don't have much choice.

1 bad game with a 12-3 record, and facing a weak NSH team, while simultaneously being worried that Copley might, moving forward, have shaken his confidence. Therefore, instead of letting him play to shrug off last game, you let him marinate in that loss a little longer and instead plug in a swiss cheese goalie that should have retired by now?

Yeah, there really wasn't any choice; Copley should have started

I don't have the answer right now. That's Blake's job, and one that was foreseen prior to this season anyway. This is the same thing as defending the lack of LHD on the roster; he has staff making millions that are getting paid to have this foresight for him to execute on.

What I'm criticizing here is this full-throated defense of Copley by people who are throwing dirt on Quick and Petersen.

 

[Sol]

Blake

 

[Little Psycho]

That was such a sad shift

 

[AbsentMojo]

Bickering about Copley - needless. You dont go into the season with 36 yr old JQ and imploded Peterson and expect to contend. This is gigantic puss boil of a hole on the roster. Copley has done a good job, not going to take us anywhere period.

 

[kingsfan28]

Quick wants a piece.

blood...i want blood!

 

[Sol]

This game is going to boil over for sure

I guess we'll just have to disagree.

 

[kingsfan28]

aw damnit!!!
