News and Notes Thread 10: Where all media bias gets beaten to death

[StormCast]

Some marketing genius somewhere deserves the hugest gold star for putting ****ing pigs on it

Pigs? No, no, no.

It's simply foreshadowing a trade for Tyler Kennedy.

So Chris Terry is no more?

Pat Dwyer says while players will have their Thanksgiving dinner in Pittsburgh, Canes' wives will gather at his house for their turkey.

I missed this before. So the Canes play in Florida on Wednesday, then are home on Friday night against Pittsburgh, then travel to Pittsburgh on Saturday. Why won't the players just have Thanksgiving Dinner, you know, on Thanksgiving when they are home in Raleigh?

rip cterryo

 

[What the Faulk]

crittery imo

 

[Ole Gil]

But he's not doing that. He's going into games with different lines each time.

He's going into games with different players every time too.

But again, if he looks at the team they're playing, and then forms lines he likes to match up with that team, is that a bad thing?

 

[What the Faulk]

Considering the record, yes.

Is adjusting your lines based on your opponent a bad thing?

Um, yes.

Coaches should find lines that work to establish THEIR game and impose THEIR will against the opponents. Not gameplanning scared based on the strengths of the team we're facing.

Are you sure you've watched our team play?

 

[nobuddy]

Are you sure you've watched our team play?

Yes I sure have. What did we do when we were going on that win streak? We established our possession game and made life hell for other teams in the neutral zone.

Not acknowledging the other teams strengths and having lines prepared to match against them if needed is nonsensical. The Bruins match up. The ducks match up. It's one thing to stress "we want to play our game", it's another to criticize the coach for creating match ups based on the competition.

 

[Joe McGrath]

So the 3rd line is the Nasty Skinny Swede line now?

 

[RodTheBawd]

Line matchups and style of play are not necessarily mutually inclusive.

Didn't look back at what started that debate, but I had issues with the entire lineup in that COL game. He should have dressed 7 d-men and penciled Boychuk or Terry in. **** math.

 

[Francis10]

TJ Galiardi on waivers today. Would be a nice add to 4th line......

 

[What the Faulk]

Michal Jordan up and will play with Hainsey due to the Bellemore injury. Harrison sits, but is already a go for Pittsburgh, according to Bill Peters.

Um, why? What if they win 12-0 with every defenseman recording 2+2? Obviously an exaggeration, but why is he making lineup decisions for games that aren't even next.

Friday night is in Pittsburgh, Saturday is at home.

To throw off Mike Johnston's game plan.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

To throw off Mike Johnston's game plan.

He'll have to create a whole new game plan now that he's found out Harrison is in the lineup.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Riley Nash is #1 in the league in dollars per point.

The future.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Friday night is in Pittsburgh, Saturday is at home.

Ah, ok, that at least makes more sense.

Honestly now that we've claimed Nesty I don't even want to claim anymore 4th line fill ins. I'd rather keep Boychuk and Dwyer there. Outside of them the top-9 is too good for someone like Galiardi.

 

[Sens1Canes2]

I don't know why...but I can't stand watching Patrick Dwyer play hockey for this team. He's a guy that is the definition of replaceable...and he saw 2nd line minutes last year. Ewwwwww.

And I freely admit he's probably a super guy, and may even be a leader for this treat. But man...the anger runs deep.

patty dwyer is my favorite player ever from the great state of washington.

My thought is that we should always be looking to upgrade.

 

[Lucky Lindy]

A little OT, but:

Modo in the SHL just signed... a 42-year old Donald Brashear. To a league where you can't fight.
