Put 11- 7-27 on a line and they could replace Jusse Saros in the Mass Mutual commercial repeating the line “No Goals”No! Give him and Kuraly 15 mins TOI!!!
I remember him saying some (or 1 of them)of the leadership players said something like if we gotten this far, we can finish the job. What's the record since the deadline???good job by Waddell certainly helping the team with his TDL acquisitions
1-5-1I remember him saying some (or 1 of them)of the leadership players said something like if we gotten this far, we can finish the job. What's the record since the deadline???
Honestly that was the first game where the wheels started coming off. They had no business winning that game, but that was the highlight of the season.It's like the spirit of Johnny left us at Ohio Stadium.
I don’t see us regressing with some solid players in the pipeline and a ton of cap spaceThe year was a fun ride for the most part. I really thought they were going to do it after the back to back wins against Detroit.
Bad news, the conference is getting better and we had a lot go right for us this year with no guarantees it’s going to continue going that way. Getting Monahan and company back should help, but with a very weak draft and UFA group, I don’t really see us making a lot of headway next year either. I actually could see us regressing like Philadelphia did.
Not surprising .. you usually tend to predict the more negative outcome . Can’t say I agree with you , but you’re entitled to your opinion . Perhaps they make a couple trades ? They played a large part of the season missing Monahan, recently Sillinger , and Boone is just a downgrade centering your 2nd line ..The year was a fun ride for the most part. I really thought they were going to do it after the back to back wins against Detroit.

The pipeline, to me, isn’t even that close to making an impact in the NHL. Aside from LDBB and Hunt or somethingI don’t see us regressing with some solid players in the pipeline and a ton of cap space
Of course you also predicted that we would suck this year as well so there is thatThe year was a fun ride for the most part. I really thought they were going to do it after the back to back wins against Detroit.

Lindstrom ? Ivanov ?The pipeline, to me, isn’t even that close to making an impact in the NHL. Aside from LDBB and Hunt or something
Maybe it is a negative perspective but the team hasn’t exactly inspired any confidence that it’s going to be any different. I know, new staff at management and coaching level, but there’s not a whole lot out there for free agents and the trade market won’t be as desperate with the cap going up.Not surprising .. you usually tend to predict the more negative outcome .

Don’t you have a paper bag to put over your head?The pipeline, to me, isn’t even that close to making an impact in the NHL. Aside from LDBB and Hunt or something
I was just addressing the pipeline question. I agree this team needs less rookies and more experience.That's fine, since giving minutes to rookies usually doesn't help!
What does help is when guys in their first four or five years age up a year. On average they get better! We have a lot of those players.
They could realistically wind up 14th in the east. Is that not sucky enough to be considered sucking?Of course you also predicted that we would suck this year as well so there is that
Is that implying you are a dog with sunglasses on?Don’t you have a paper bag to put over your head?
NoIs that implying you are a dog with sunglasses on?
If ever. Prospects are just that.Both 2-3+ years away.
