Your argument would have been a lot more convincing if you had spelled "chagrin" correctly
After two straight losses, I think Ronnie was worried Brown might get a look at center.Canes sent Patrick Brown down. Seems like something else should be coming. Another callup? Fresh warm body?
I guess they are likely just sending him down to play a game in the mean time.
Can you give examples? Such as signing goalies, making necessary trades, etc? Don't include drafting Aho as an example. Canes should have been drafting higher in each of the last 8 drafts. What exactly has Francis done so well?
I'm still mad.
How about you? You still mad bro?
It took them 5 years to get into a playoff spot this late in the season (seriously. I believe the last time was 2013). If they give it up without so much as a fight...well, they'll be the team we kinda figured they were already.
I understand your frustration but don't think you understand fancystats and their value.
What does using fancystats have to do with the team being bad for the past 9 years? Do you think reliance on those stats (Which as I stated are common sense distilled into numbers) is why the team has failed? The team was cheap because they had a dishonest human anal wart as an owner who was far more interested in busting the players union than spending money, that was the problem.Spare me the lecture, junior. I understand fancy stats just fine. What I have zero patience for, at this point, is management that uses a reliance on fancy stats as an excuse for being cheap and ****ty and unwatchable, year after year after year.
Here's an interesting stat: "dollars spent in the last nine years per playoff appearance." Hmm... click click click...
Hey guys, what does DIVIDE BY ZERO ERROR mean?
It didn't work out for us, but not for Francis' lack of trying.
Wait a sec, we're giving GMs points for effort now? He was hopelessly, indefensibly wrong about about Scott Darling, Marcus Kruger and Josh Jooris. That counts. A lot.
It doesn't matter, even if we played arizona every time. Us having Darling in net and making every back up goalies look like hasek isn't gonna get the job done.Also someone on another board did an overview of the remaining schedules of the teams in the hunt for the last 2 playoff spots. The Devils have the toughest schedule, care to take a guess which team has the most favorable one?
Being wrong about the 4th line center and 13th forward counts a lot? Really?
Darling obviously I get, but you won’t find many people that thought that was a bad idea league wide so I don’t know how you could call it indefensible.
If that was the only thing Francis was wrong about, we would be so lucky.Being wrong about the 4th line center and 13th forward counts a lot? Really?
Darling obviously I get, but you won’t find many people that thought that was a bad idea league wide so I don’t know how you could call it indefensible.
Signing Pesce and Slavin to long term, team friendly deals
C'mon man. I was responding to a guy who thinks we need to give Francis credit for trying despite all but one of his moves blowing up in his face. I'm just saying that part of a GMs job is to be "right" and not just "actively trying."
