What a disaster, this is getting nauseating.

Oh look, it's @Adrianopolous starting another pointless garbage thread.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

I choose to view the "OT" tag as "On Topic".

Our f***ing coach sucks gigantic ass. We aren't making the playoffs while he's here, it doesn't matter how much we spend.

 

[NyQuil]

Don't worry, we'll win a couple games and he'll start one on the main board about how Sanderson should win the Norris.

I guess he doesn't get enough attention in real life.

3 of our top 4 D being LD is a problem. It's a voluntary disadvantage we took on. Let's make a trade.

Power is too diluted among 2nd and 3rd forward lines. Need reshuffle. We have lots of great pieces but it doesn't add up. Add Pinto to the mix and possibly more trades to rejigger the forwards.

Why make it personal?

I actually liked you.

Try a new coach first before calling it a failure

Try a new coach first before calling it a failure

That's like the first rule in pro sports. C'mon now.

Norris -4

Way too many battles lost.....

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

f***ing embarrassing

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

The irony of "we're a team" is that this team is skilled up the wazoo

But absolutely does not play like a "team"

Damn.. someone's in a bad mood

Is it the game or the weather?

That's rich, I don't think I've ever seen you in a good mood.

I don't think posting hyperbolic threads with click-bait over-the-top titles makes for good discussions, that's all.

This was like a week ago:

Is It Time To Have A Discussion About Jake Sanderson And The Norris Trophy?

2g, 3A in 5 games this year already at a +3. Ottawa is looking the absolute winners of the 2020 draft with Stutzle and Sanderson both taken in the top 5. Is the Norris trophy ready for Sanderson this year?

Very unlike NyQuil post, damn.

 

[DueDiligence]

Stop being such a drama queen! They've played 2 bad games in a row but they are 3 and 3. Certainly changes need to be made but you act like the season is over.

I am always in a good mood. I just don't trust this team to be good.

2 very different things

 

[Ouroboros]

Seems harsh.

Roster needs some tinkering. They have have too many guys who duplicate each other's skill sets which means you end not being able to maximize a lot of roster spots. Why do you need all of Sanderson, Chychrun, Chabot and Brannstrom? You don't need both Kubalik and Tarasenko. When you're cap-strapped it's hard to carry guys like Kastelic and MacEwen who have extremely limited utility, which is why one of them has already been waived.

To me the core of the team is Tkachuk, Stutzle and Sanderson. I' be open to discussing everybody else.

 

[Good in Osgoode]

I think this is just where we are as a fanbase right now.

We are living & dying game by game because we know that this team can not afford to get off to another bad start.

I was listening to the award winning radio broadcast of the game by Dean & Gord and when they said that Tkachuk went off holding his shoulder and ran down the hallway and that it didn't look good, my first reaction was 'well there goes another season down the tube'.

I think that is just how fragile we are right now.

My next thought was 'well at least they will be able to sign Pinto' with Tkachuk on LTIR for the year. For f@ck sakes, just get the deal done with Pinto and then launch Doiron into the sun.
It's enough already.

Zub should be part of that. Team is easy to play against without him.

You're the last person on this board who should be calling anyone out on their negativity.
