In what way

They went from five goals against to three to two. Progress!

 

[Yukon Cornelius]

Skipped this one and instead made a huge batch of crock pot chili and watched re-runs of The Grand Tour. I think I chose wisely.

We started season 2 of Silo

I really enjoyed the books. Season one stayed fairly close to the script, I thought. I have season two in the queue to watch, but haven't started it yet.

 

[Yukon Cornelius]

WTF is this multi-post stuff? It happened the other day to me also.

Maybe I just don't normally post in quick succession and it's this way for everyone?

 

[Boocowski]

How is defense harder than offense?

Oh that's easy. These kids come out of junior and they are all shoot and score put up big numbers. Teaching them how to prevent goals and play a disciplined system is much much harder. This is why it generally takes D men longer to develop than forwards and why center is generally more demanding than wing.

It’s been like that for a long time.

Keep grinding

Ice hockey is a game played on a sheet of ice. The objective is to shoot a small rubber puck into the opposing team's net. Happy to help.

 

[Yukon Cornelius]

It’s been like that for a long time.

Gracias. I was wondering if was doing something wrong.

I guess the only thing I'm doing wrong is at least continuing to give one shit about this team. Two is asking too much at this stage of my life.

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

Just curious, if the point of playing in juniors is to develop future pros, why do none of these coaches teach the importance of defense? Do they teach it in Europe? Why do kids get to the highest level with all these bad habits?

Also, if all of these spoiled, entitled kids need to be taught how to play the right way, why do they get drafted so high? It's like offense matters or something, but that can't be right.

 

[sa cyred]

In what way

I was gonna ask him but he ignores negative comments

 

[Cody Webster]

i'm waiting for the spin on this one

Isn't this what everyone wanted? You wanted them to tank, this is what tanking is. We traded away two players that have no future on this team and got back players the team wants to take a look at to see if they'll be key pieces moving forward. It doesn't matter that both players we got are waiver material. If you want to tank and rebuild, you need those type of players. You all asked for it, now you're getting it

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

These new AHL scrubs sure are scrubs.

Seems wild to be we have zero skilled younger guys we could recall ?

Outside of Barkey and Luchanko what forward prospects do we have? Rizzo maybe? The team has limited prospects and an incomplete NHL caliber roster. It is really incredible to mismanage a team to this extent.

 

[HeadLiceHatty]

The beat rolls on for John and Rocky, love it. Glad I didn't wake up for this pig slop.

 

[zizbuka]

So, the other team scored more goals than us again....... but did we WIN?

 

[Rebels57]

Holy shit, they got shut-out again?

Torts truly is an offensive guru!!

While they are putting themselves in better draft position with each loss there's more to it then just losing. Developing the talent, which they are shit at doing, and having a coach who knows what he's doing in the modern game. If you don't have those you end up like the Flyers

We want them to trade the older players like Laughton, Risto, Hathaway, EJ, Seeler, etc. The fact that they are jettisoning players around 25 years old and keeping players 30 and older is counter-intuitive.

Sorry, that was my Deady interpretation

 

[Flyerfan4life]

So, when do they announce the 8 year, 60 million dollar Cates extension?

right after every FA tells them no chance im playing in Philly

 

[ellja3]

I still think MM is just tired and getting load-balanced (that's what she said), but 0 goals in 3 games and Frost/Farabee trade - yeah...

The new era of aren’t. They aren’t rebuilding, aren’t making moves to improve the team, they aren’t competing, they aren’t winning, they aren’t even scoring goals, and they aren’t getting high end goaltending. I guess I shouldn’t expect much with Tipper out of the lineup. When he’s in, he’s the straw that stirs the drink. When he’s out, apparently he’s the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Holy shit, these people are stupid.
Oh, and they aren’t getting lottery possible picks either.
