GDT: Canes @ That Toronto Team We Always Have Supes Normal Games Against (7PM)

[User13452]

This team has one good game, a few where we barely eek out wins, and then shit like this.

People are not lucid thinking we are a contender. We aren't. And rantanen has been shit while Necas has been great elsewhere. I think the obvious is obvious.

Inconsistent all year not starting games on time giving up a goal on the first 3 shots rarely playing with a lead. Deciding to play in the third period when the game is out of reach

Wasn't some of his signing business optics at play, too? At the time, landing Burns was a big deal, i.e. getting a guy with a known, well-liked brand to play here and all that comes with that? In addition to the expected on ice results, I think the Rantanen situation is the next iteration of doing it for the overall stature of the business - even if they don't exactly know how to best utilize him within the current roster yet.

I can't imagine they expected quite as much of the will he/won't he sign press and social rumblings to taint his big launch though.

"I can't imagine they expected quite as much of the will he/won't he sign press and social rumblings to taint his big launch though."

Probably right but naive of the Canes to think that the big clubs/agents wouldn't meddle.

I firmly believe that the first blogger out of Toronto that started the "firestorm" was selected by a club to start the FUD speculation.

WELL… I COULD SAY IT’S BECAUSE DEFENSE REGRESSED AND WE STILL LACK GOALTENDING THAT WARRANTS CONFIDENCE IN PLAY-OFFS.

But I can say it’s because we have too many Skaven on the team and no Dwarves.
