Think you misunderstood, when I said 51 pages, it was meant to be like ‘what only 51pagea, it should be 1000…’How dare you diminish the importance of us getting someone that helps take this assortment of individuals with no character and turning it into a team with character and identity. 50 more pages is warranted.
It's funny the building is alive and we are 2 and 0 to Stat the season.
No, they decided to sign a younger cheaper winger in Gregor. It is Reaves that is older, but he was signed for a specific role one that he is considered the best in the NHL by his peers.
It's nice to see Sheldon coaching a Dubas-less team. Never seen the guy as happy. Looks like he's relishing the opportunity.
I am absolutely dumbfounded by the bolded and those who see it this way. Not even close imo. Reaves has done more and had more impact on teammates and fans in 2 games than Simmonds did all last year and most of the year before. We finally have someone who can hit like a mack truck and put fear into the opposition....Praise Be. I for one have been pleasantly surprised so far.
He's pure shit and so is good portion of this team.
lol..Yeah i'm the biased one.
They signed Gregor as well, and they could have had both Gregor and Lafferty on the team, but they decided to sign a worse, older player until he's 40, give him Lafferty's money (and then some), hand him Lafferty's 4th line winger spot, and trade Lafferty instead. And no, Reaves is not even close to one of the best 4th line wingers in the league. He's closer to the opposite.
Most of these folks are in denial but don't worry it'll hit them soon enough.
For sure. I was really impressed by how the big guy went behind the other team's net, hung on to the puck for a split second...then a much smaller dman came and pinned him against the boards to then steal the puck...Very impressive.
For sure, I'd much rather pay someone 10 mil more to do that and even throw in some dumb passes to the other team too.
I'm starting to think that this is by design...meaning, they don't care about someone who can actually play hockey but needed someone to protect the weak boys we have...Otherwise it makes no sense to get rid of a guy like Simmonds who looked way more competent playing hockey(especially if you put him on the 4th line)...He backchecked hard too, worked well down low, got chances(just no finish), etc...So why? Maybe Simmonds said hell i ain't going to be fighting..lol...But i doubt it because he actually seemed like he cared about this team....Who knows though...It's clear that Reaves isn't here for his hockey ability but that is horrible because we already have enough guys who are playing like pylons.
You talking about Mitchie? The guy who led the team in points last year and often enough is one of the better players on this team? Really? lol...He was shit tonight but that whole line was.
Had a scan yesterday. Doc said all good.
He's been shit all season. I'll make sure y'all know about it every game too since y'all never shut up about the 4th line these days.
If you think Reaves was signed for his on-ice abilities, you are missing the point.
They can just play Clifford for that for way less, if that's what they wanted.
These days? lol...I am pretty much never here(haven't been since last year where i posted a few times the whole year) and really don't complain about 4th line but ok.
Do you watch the games? This comment makes me think you don't.
Oh do tell me the point please. What exactly did they get him for when they have a bunch of others who can fight, hit and whatever he can do? Is he there to beat everyone up on the other team? Uplift the team? Doesn't seem to be working and i'll bet you anything it won't because that's not the issue here...These guys need to find those things inside them and nobody else will be able to provide that for them except maybe in a few games here and there(overall meaningless).
