How's our Corsi tonight?

What's that?

 

[trilobyte]

It is interesting to see the difference between the way Toronto has progressed versus Edmonton. Yep, I know, Toronto hasn't won anything yet, but that is not the point.
I think it is almost unbelievable for Leafs fans. They probably still find it hard to believe they are becoming legit after all the horrible Front Office shenanigans by the Maple Leafs over the years.

 

[Fataldogg]

JG is the worst GM in the game and it's not even close.
He's regressed further in each year he's been GM thus far IMO..

Montreal fans would argue that.

But I agree, Gorton hasn't done well in his tenure here.

I know you are frustrated, but Chiarelli has that title belt.....undisputed

Nothing else correlated with the nose dive?

Do you guys think players have perpetual shelf lives ?

 

[Kovalev27]

AV should’ve been canned after the Ottawa series. Gorton’s moves have always been about turning back the clock a bit and adding youth and skill

He single handedly cost us that series with his player deployment. I figured he was on a real short leash after that but he’s still here. Amazed actually. I think it’s due more to no one else being let go. There isn’t a real good replacement out there.

Very rare no coaches are fired all year

For winning the cup?

 

[Flying Puck]

We don’t have a center that can shut down top lines! Just pathetic!!

 

[GordonGecko]

Contusion of the emotional feelings

 

[RangerLifer]

What's that?

Corsi Schmorsi.

 

[trilobyte]

Edmonton is a basket case still. Bobbleheads of McTavish and Lowe still control things, in some kind of weird netherworld.
Chiarelli should never have ventured there.

Well, you have to remember the players aren’t humans. They are data points on a spreadsheet.

YES!

Maybe Sather still runs the show in Edmonton, and the Rangers are a sock puppet?

Well played Gordie Clarke...

 

[Irishguy42]

Just end me

It’s a fairly competent rebuild... certainly helped getting Mathews. But they did put some folks in charge who know what they’re doing.

 

[NYR]

Corsi Schmorsi.

Exactly and while I do value some stats, I can easily cook my onion soup while watching the game and basically call who's sucked and who hasn't..

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Rangers went out in 5 playoff games in JG's first year.

Out in the 2nd round (in a series they should have won) in his second year.

Unless they changed the definition of regression, I'm pretty sure that isn't it.

That’s ridiculous, and you’re letting your biases about Smith and Mika drive your statements.

If you can watch this team and think they’re well coached, idk what to tell you

 

[Loff]

Good stuff Ricky.

 

[EpicDing]

I've yet to get an explanation on why JG is so terrible. Hasn't fired AV yet, yes, but he could be using the fact that he's hot garbage to improve draft position.

Didn't you know that the Rangers would have beaten Ottawa if they never traded Brass even though AV completely blew it and Zibanejad outproduced Brassard in that series?!?!?!

Unless they changed the definition of regression, I'm pretty sure that isn't it.

If you take a 2 year increment sample size instead, voila, we have regression.

It was a first round against the eventual cup champs in his first year.

The second year 2nd round appearance? It was Henrik with a better save percentage than Price despite the team giving up 63% of dangerous high percentage chances.

Montreal is the second worst team to make the playoffs last year, besides us and it's showing this in the regular seaosn.

 

[LORDE]

We’re so pathetic that our highlight rips are of Nash drawing a penalty lols

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

ADA might be the best shooting Dman weve had in years
