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

quite possibly, yes. I mean, think about everything Babcock has been accused of. Does any of it compare to having a role in hushing up someone being sexually assaulted? That's what baggage Quenneville has.

Quenneville didn't assault players verbally. Babcock was a literal pos.

Quenneville at least tried to do something. He found out and stormed into a management meeting demanding the guy be fired. Ya he stayed on the last handful of games and q should have gone over their heads. But his role has been blown away out of proportion.

Honestly saying Babcock was better is deplorable. The guy forced Franzen to play with concussions and f***ed up the guys life. He was a complete ass because he had the power to be. And when given the opportunity to redeem himself he took it upon himself to go through players phones to make sure he approved of their lifestyles.

We've all seen the rumors that Steve is eyeing him as a replacement for Lalonde. And I have a sneaky suspicion it will come end of the month before our 4 day break to give them a chance to have some practice time together. Remember Cooper was a mid season replacement by Yzerman too.

Only thing is I've heard those rumors from people inside the organization before I even saw them online. So I'm thinking there might actually be some truth to them.

But then again it's Yzerman. So if you've heard about it, there's a good chance Yzerman either isn't doing it, or he won't do it now out of spite. He doesn't appreciate leaked info.
