vancouver lost in ot after going up 3-0 after the 1st, team cannot hold a lead

They were badly outplaying Nashville in the first....didn't see what happened, but guessing weak goaltending?

 

[Buffdog]

Ah, expected goals for and against. The hokiest of hockey advanced stats

Come on man.

My "expected hook ups with supermodels" (xHSM) is really high for the past few years. At any point here I'm due for an epic month.

I mean how do you know who's measuring your lil buffdog and how many others they've seen? Maybe 5" is big to them

So capacity according to ESPN at the Mullet Arena is 4400 and the Coyotes are drawing 4600.........................success

2 games is nothing but laughable.
10 games would mean something.
He is a very good player it’s puzzling why he resorted to this dick move.

 

[bustamente]

What he did was on purpose and could of ended badly for Quick, punishment for these types of acts need to more severe.

See that the Wings don’t do something stupid like sticking Copp out in OT!

Nice 3-2 win by Wings over Rangers

 

[jetsforever]

Just noticed the two Detroit players signed the longest are Copp and Chiarot

It's like the shot clock. Since they measure it at home, let's just say it gets rounded up

"New information" that was publicly available since before Arizona drafted him.

What an impressively weak attempt to spin it.

Sounds like there was some weird astroturfing going on today too.

The agency that signed Miller put out a press release listing a bunch of non-profits that he's volunteered for and one was proven to be court ordered community service and another said that they haven't actually worked with him but were approached.

Either Mitchell Miller's family is completely whitewashing and minimizing what he did, nobody's fact checking them, or they didn't care. The truth is somewhere in there.

I mean either way it's the responsibility of the Bruins and his agency to actually do their due diligence. The agent's press release today said they did months of research
The Bruins management and public statements kept referring to it as if it was a single incident as well so either they didn't do a background check or they're incompetent.

As an aside Elliotte Friedman is a hack of a reporter for trying to rationalize the Bruins' decision the entire time.

Here's someone pointing out the weird astroturfing I mentioned:


You can see in how consistent the messaging is, they're trying to discredit the victim and questioning whether he's disabled or not.

Definitely easy to see why Florida looks pretty good under Moe so far. They have a very big and quick forward core that likes to play with grit. Still I'm seeing similar static play on special teams.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

I thought Ottawa was going to take a step forward this year but they are still in the basement.

Missing Norris, no?

vancouver lost in ot after going up 3-0 after the 1st, team cannot hold a lead

You could see, even early in the 2nd, that they were trying to sit on the lead. That's the wrong mindset.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

They could still turn it around, but I look at Ottawa as a precautionary tale for anyone who advocates for a hard tank/blow it up approach to a rebuild. Even if you procure the right talent, there's a loser mentality/culture that needs to be changed somehow. Saw it in Edmonton for years

That is a big part of the risk.
But it can also be that they still need to mature as a team.

He's essentially a finished product - the odds of a 25 year old taking big steps is very low.

I don't expect any big steps. Just fewer rookie mistakes and a little more confidence.

Puzzling that a dick would dick?
He's a Tkachuk, what should we expect?

Injuries are a part of the game. They're a hard team to figure out.

Florida is playing good hockey but they had a pretty darn soft schedule to start the year in terms of who they have faced and failed to really bank a lot of points. That may come back to haunt them later in the year.

Panthers are underperforming under Maurice and are a tire fire in their own end. The Paul Maurice Pitchforks thread has already been opened.

I'm not sure that's entirely Maurice’s fault. Their goaltending has been bad. They traded away their top scorer, though Tkachuk does have 18 points.

And eeesh look at their 6 defencemen last night against the Ducks: Radko Gudas, Mark Staal, Brandon Montour and some no names. And they still won the game.

I haven't watched any Panthers games so I don't know just how much impact Maurice has had on that team but management did not put him in a position to succeed this offseason.
