RDS guys, in the 2nd intermission are ultra positive because they seem to only talk about the 1st period.

 

[HabbyGuy]

Some of these players have been in the NHL for 3 seasons now.

Your acting like these are kids

The team as a whole are extremely young and will continue to get younger as we trim the fat. It's going to take time, I'm just preaching patience here, and try and save you some heartache.

 

[CharleyHorse]

If the goal is a bottom 3 finish sure.
If the goal is to build something great I don’t think so.

Losing culture can kill us.


Every year a teams add players through the draft not just us

what does this even mean? of course teams add players through the draft. That's because every year, teams have draft picks. the trick is to draft well.

 

[Rapala]

Doesn’t have to be the trap. Coming up with a proper defensive game that can lead to proper transitions with speed would be huge.

More skating and less cheating would be a good start.

 

[The Real Timo]

Just checked the score card... Damn, Strudel scored another one. Good for him. And King Fu Panda chipped in. Moneyhands is a gift that keeps on giving. Yoel was instrumental on all these goals.

 

[HabbyGuy]

MSL’s comments about making Caufield a more complete player have me wondering if he’s inside Caufield’s head trying to over coach him. You should let your skill players be your skill players even if they do have some deficiencies. I had no problem with Cole playing the way he did after Ducharme was fired up until this season.

I'd agree if Cole wasn't getting tons of chances every night, the pucks just not going in.

what does this even mean? of course teams add players through the draft. That's because every year, teams have draft picks. the trick is to draft well.

The point is that we think that by simply adding a high draft pick we’re going to somehow leap team ahead of us and around us.

It’s just not true.

the trick is to draft well. Draft well and add to a well managed team

 

[CharleyHorse]

so that means OT!

Monty steals it in the SO

That's our way

 

[StCaufield]

What he say that makes him a bum ?

It’s just his ego and self righteousness. Not the definition of a bum but I don’t wanna get an infraction with other words

 

[Theodore450]

More skating and less cheating would be a good start.

Imagine if our team was hungry and hounded the puck?
Wow that would be so cool

na it’s fine let the play come to us and do nothing

 

[HabbyGuy]

The point is that we think that by simply adding a high draft pick we’re going to somehow leap team ahead of us and around us.

It’s just not true.

the trick is to draft well. Draft well and add to a well managed team

That's the thing I truly believe we are a well managed team.

 

[StCaufield]

Quite a few pundits and much of this board did, too. Arpon Basu was crying about it a lot iirc.

I know and it’s fair but he blew a gasket and was unhinged

 

[The Real Timo]

What a night? Looks like a boring ass night to me.

 

[overlords]

I know and it’s fair but he blew a gasket and was unhinged

Yeah I'm agreeing with you. f*** em all.

I cancelled my athletic sub because of Arpon refusing to let it go.

 

[McGees]

Crosby should sign with Habs.
Would finish off rebuild perfectly.
Thank you for your consideration.

Last Period is Yesterdays News!

 

[StCaufield]

Karma for horrid reffing

 

[HabbyGuy]

OK my crazy takes are still in play here, just need the habs to pull off the upset and Cole to pot one here.

 

[Theodore450]

That's the thing I truly believe we are a well managed team.

I like Hughes and I agree with the utilitarian mindset he has.

I just don’t think he’s that great of an evaluator of the type of talent that leads to Stanley cups.

I couldn’t care less about the season. The cup is the goal

 

[JRichard]

The point is that we think that by simply adding a high draft pick we’re going to somehow leap team ahead of us and around us.

It’s just not true.

the trick is to draft well. Draft well and add to a well managed team

Most teams are 33% draftees, 33% traded and 33% free agents, undrafted or waived.

 

[Pomee]

Cmon Cole, you can do better than this!

 

[HabbyGuy]

I like Hughes and I agree with the utilitarian mindset he has.

That's fair.

Time will tell I guess.

[The Great Weal]
