Don't care that we lost, Buffalo is a little better team. It was a good game and I also don't expect us win next game against Edmonton, I just like to see team competing .
Love that Raymond do pk, best players should do it, Kasper is playing in all situations, Edvinsson still doing mistakes, but he is playing more games and learning. Our goalkeepers are good, we're doing good and be better soon

Comparing apples with potatoes. Mantha and AA haven't won a thing. Kane is a proven winner.

Yeah, quite a few years ago at this point he was a winner. Right now he looks like he is coasting.

How did you get gus>ghost from my post at all?

I'm calling out this notion that we let a Hanifin walk out the door.

Ghost made 4.125m with us last season, had his 2nd best point total over his career. I'm having a hard time believing he didn't want 5mil+ here. A raise for sure with those numbers. Yet 4 hours after free agency started he signs for 3.2mx3, so he gets less than his previous year.

Feels like the same thing we saw with Bertuzzi, oh I would've given Bertuzzi that contract! Yeah no shit, because he got humbled when he went to market.

TBH that's what I thought, i'm not going back to reread the old post and see why I thought that. but I for sure thought thats what you where suggesting to everyone. My bad.

Sorry.

Sorry.

No problem, it's all water under the bridge. Hopefully tonight we will feel a little better after a Wings win.

yeah, sitting in the offensive zone would make sense for how the other team could be scoring enough while he was out there to make him -16 on the year.

Yea Ghost had his fair share of bone headed defensive miscues last year. If memory serves right, he started off surprising people early on, only to revert back to his usual defensive play

The team has enough talent to do better. The coaches system is holding them back.

Is Joel Quenneville's reputation so bad that he won't ever see another job in the NHL? Forgive my ignorance, I have not followed the controversy.

He'll get another job. Bowman was much more responsible than him and he's currently employed

So far we been badly overshoot , but managed to be just slightly below .500. wonder if it just Lalonde new strategy, we will see later. It's seems like both Buffalo and Ottawa are better teams, so I don't expect us to be better than last season. It's means better pick at 2025 very good draft year. So I am not upset at all. We are going to have better team for long run
