At least their trying something new. Nice change from the daily repetition.
I didn't but you already knew that. You change direction so many times and throw in things that have nothing to do with what is being discussed in a thread I can't keep up. Gaslight much?
Do you seriously think players play games 1 and 2 at the same level they play games 6 and 7 when their backs are up against the wall and it is usually win or go home?
There is no spin...you clearly said you have the same expectations for a 1 milly player as you do an 11milly. Then you clarified you dont except when your watching the game and that 1 milly player does something a 1milly player is apt to do.
Nobodys defending that....saying your expectations are the same for a 1 milly player and an 11 m player is absurd to me. Clearly not to some.
A poster mentioned it. The games get tougher because teams make adjustments as the series goes on and wear down their opponents. Did you not see a difference between games 1-4 and 5,6 and 7 of the Leafs/Bruins series?
Clearly Kutcherov is the more valuable player. The difference between Kutch and our guys is that Tampa usually win game 7s while our guys lose them. If the Leafs win game #7s, nobody is talking about our guys not showing up in game #7s or Mitch turnovers leading to key goals against. Our guys lose, Kutch and Tampa win cups.
We need better depth players. The salaries we've elected to pay our core makes that extremely difficult to acquire. They've also traded a ton of picks over the years, so counting on reinforcements from the farm is rather unlikely as well.
Bertuzzi's constant chasing of Marchand in games 1-4 put us down 3-1 and when he stopped being a <self-censored> and left him alone we got back into the series, but, in game 7 he just couldnt help himself, and it cost us 1 goal, then skated off while his man scored the OT winner
I know Nick Paul scored both goals against the Leafs in game #7. Gourde scored the only goal in game #7 against the Isles. We are seeing the depth players scoring in the SCF. Our bottom 6 has pretty much been non existent since Dubas took over.
Knies is the only player projected to make the team next season on an ELC.
when your bottom is PKers and goons yea, they arent gonna score. the best teams have their best players on the PK and the 3rd and 4th liners are able to chip in offense, because they arent one-dimensional defense only players
Knies, Minten and Cowen are actually projected, and maybe Grebenkin and Weber too, Quillan may get a look too, but, no idea what type of contract he has
Totally forgot about Weber. Cowan could definitely make it, but i think he'd be better served with another developmental year. Minten is a long-shot to me. AHL bound.
I have no idea what you just went on about. A conversation is 2 way. Just because I have not yet capitulation to your point, doesnt mean that the conversation is being derailed. The crap that goes around in circles here is breathtaking. You are all drinking everyone else's bath water yet cannot consider that there are people who actually run the team that have different views than your own.
I asked if his response would be tears, or violence. He said no to tears, but didn't say anything about violence which implies that violence may indeed be his response.
Yeah the idea that Hyman does nothing more than tap in passes from McDavid is obviously ridiculous.
