LOL, he’s not listening to any of us. Pitiful thought Jakey.Start demanding more. Stop with the excuses.
You would be surprised what unhappy fans can do. Owners can get impatient fast. Don't forget, BA and AT are not Smith's guys.LOL, he’s not listening to any of us. Pitiful thought Jakey.
Well I doubt Utah’s population is made up of a bunch of Jakeys so I’m sure they’re safe for now.You would be surprised what unhappy fans can do. Owners can get impatient fast. Don't forget, BA and AT are not Smith's guys.
Of course they are. Let's see how the year plays out.Well I doubt Utah’s population is made up of a bunch of Jakeys so I’m sure they’re safe for now.
I heard that as well. Fighting for a wildcard would be great, but I never heard him say that last year.I must've heard BA say he doesn't expect making the playoffs yet, this season, half a dozen times in interviews. Says the team just isn't there yet. (I don't like the players hearing him talk like that.) Pretty sure those are the expectations he set with Smith too. He expects us to be fighting for a wildcard spot which is a bit frustrating because he's repeating the same things he said last season.
For now Smith seems to be letting BA's plan unfold without much interference, if any.
I doubt that very much.I still say we don't make playoffs this year BA is fired.
Maybe he didn't. It's at least what I interpret the very generic term "playing meaningful games" to be even if he didn't.Fighting for a wildcard would be great, but I never heard him say that last year.
Well we had a 14 game losing streak last year
His method seems to be “ we worked hard , proud that the team showed no quit”
Inside his head it’s “ I sure hope we can win this one”
Cooley is my favourite player but I hate to say it he needs to be benched .. he gets creamed every time he has the puck he makes all of these little plays that if they work are highlight reel but mostly just ends up a giveaway ( kind of like the Mike Smith forward version)
I like Gunther but he needs a day off to sit in front of the TV and watch himself and refocus ..
I would prefer on the PP they try Gunther in the slot , Schmalz to the right and Keller to the left just to change it up.. keep Jayton down behind the goal line
Doan I will say seems to be the only guy that gets the puck in deep , not causing a turnovver
Everyone else tries to pull up at the blue line and gives it away causing an odd man rush
Oh and how fast did Maccelli and Crouse team up for a goal once they were put together
You also said I was nuts when I stated that the team has pissed the NHL off and will be sold last yearI doubt that very much.
They are not trading Keller.BA has a big checkbook - money and picks; time to get a real good goalie. If they traded Keller to do so, I think I’d be ok ( this is hyperbole on my part… but maybe you get the point). However, BA’s plan might not call for this - at this point

They just made him captain.., not trading him ..we’ll never say never ..BA has a big checkbook - money and picks; time to get a real good goalie.

LOL Nearly all the folks you’re preaching to on this forum, in this thread are not in market.You would be surprised what unhappy fans can do. Owners can get impatient fast. Don't forget, BA and AT are not Smith's guys.
Funny thing is…. He’s right.I must've heard BA say he doesn't expect making the playoffs yet, this season, half a dozen times in interviews. Says the team just isn't there yet. (I don't like the players hearing him talk like that.) Pretty sure those are the expectations he set with Smith too.

Oh no. You are one of a kind bubba!Of course they are.
That was Jakey that kept saying that.Maybe he didn't. It's at least what I interpret the very generic term "playing meaningful games" to be even if he didn't.
hyperbole I saidThey are not trading Keller.
agreedNot many goalies better than Ingram are available. May be binnington could be obtained since hofer is just too good to be a back up
As an Avs fan, I swear I’m not biased. I actually think Binner’s pretty consistently good. The team in St. Louis apparently embraces him, though he’s known for an outsized personality. You’d have to wonder about how he might/might not gel in the locker room.Not many goalies better than Ingram are available.

This team in St. Louis is not winning anytime soon. They should try and sell him while he is still good if he has value on the trade market . Hofer has shown he is their future . To me , he is a sure betAs an Avs fan, I swear I’m not biased. I actually think Binner’s pretty consistently good.

DisagreeI think if one of Durzi or Marino were short term injuries then they might weather the storm. With both out for months the team cant sit on the roster rotating in rookies and 6th/7th D.
MAYBE Kesselring rises to the occasion and Maveric earns regular minutes...but they need to prove it fast.
With Bjugstad returning hopefully the center ice is stabilized a bit.
If they are going to experiment with the young guns and juggle the lines I want to see Cooley get time with Keller. Hayton is NOT the answer there.
I don’t disagree about St.Louis’ interests, but I am reluctant to think that Binner just makes a smooth transition into a team like the UHC.This team in St. Louis is not winning anytime soon.
