i see no reason to mock sevarelli's appearance. it's enough to consistently spell his name wrong.
This is just asinine.
First of all, so much that a coach does is an 'intangible' from the perspective of a fan who isn't there day to day.
Surely you don't have gigs of child pornography on a hard drive at your home, right?Surely you don't think that just because you don't see it in the 2 minute fluff pieces the team occasionally puts out that it doesn't exist right?
Further, half of 'intangibles' that computer boys mock is just things regarding human psychology. You know, things that acknowledge that each member of the team is a unique human with varying degress of motivation, drive, purpose, sense of community, etc and not automatons.
The thing about the goaltending is, there was no depth last year. And they faked it till the made it to the final. There was no excuse for it last year. And yet, when goalies like Lankinen are available for sub a million bucks, they do the exact same this year.their pk was actually pretty good last year. average goaltending some depth scoring besides mcdrai.but they lost a ton of speed.. unless stan bowman finds some "fast players" it will be a tough task for them to go back to the finals. quite funny how vancouver and edmonton complete opposites. vancouver did get fast with the additions of debrusk,heinen/sherwood,sprong forwardwise.
Swayman finally signs -- 8x8.25 with Boston.
Risky in terms of goalies inconsistency these days. He's what like 25/26 so it's not a deal that you are concerned about him breaking down at the end of it. But, he's hasn't shouldered a big load before.Very risky contract imo. I thought their UFA signings were quite good but when you add up Swayman, Zadorov and Lindholm it's a lot of cap tied up in players who could regress.
Lindholm has regressed since 21/22, the Bruins are paying an insane price to bet on him bouncing back. The other two contracts aren't bad IMO, though I don't see the Bruins as a legitimate contender unless Poitras and Lohrei are both home runs.Very risky contract imo.
