I have to be. If nobody else will do it.

Because they're words with completely different meanings, and it's annoying when people are trying to argue the definition of "complementary player" while not respecting that spelling difference.


Like, otherwise...i still vehemently disagree. I don't think Jake is just like skating around complimenting everyone, telling them what a great job they're doing and how handsome they are or whatever. But arguing a flawed definition of complementary while also not apparently understanding the spelling difference... That's where i'm gonna jump in and be, "The Spelling Guy". Because it's the hero every message board needs.

If you're not being an ass about things, I figure most people would be appreciative of learning something new.

Nothing wrong with encouraging clear communication.

Actually a beat-down like this might actually help them in the long-run. They're so far away from where they need to be, and they know it.

I'm beginning to wonder whether or not Tocchet's coaching approach will last. It came up aces last season as everyone bought in. But this year they're looking every bit as bad defensively as they looked under Travis Green.

Let's be honest, this team has had a fairly easy schedule so far this season and these past two games (along with the Tampa game) were the only good teams they played. Florida too but they were missing Tkachuk and Barkov.

Might not be a bad idea so he can get some consistent starts and work on his game a bit. But I don’t know that either Tolopilo or Patera are NHL ready either.

I honestly feel like this team just gives up with Silovs starts, they look at him since the first game of the season and Silovs plays like Cloutier giving up all those goals.

I'm shocked how Silovs has played, he honestly thought the starting job was his because of last post season? Dude didn't work on his mechanics did he?

This is painful but might be good in the bigger picture.
Agreed. We're in the exact situation we were in game 1 (and where we should have started the season 0-3) but magically managed to soften the blow. PDO buoyed us from this situation early last season too.

It'll take more effort to consistently win in the regular season, let alone the playoffs.

This was ugly. Devils made so many nifty little east-west plays where we got schooled, made the Canucks look like fools.

I always wondered if after games like this, the captains or coaching staff calls out defenders for their terrible play.

Like do you think Myers will get ripped a new one?
