Dr StrangeDubas trying complete the EK trade:
I have no clue what mouth breather means, but I will say I'm none to pleased about the following:
- I swear we actually got older, not younger.
- We didn't make any changes. We just shuffled bottom 6 names around.
- We actually gave a f***ing raise to a goalie who didn't deserve it.
- Sully is still here (not really Dubas fault - that's on Hex)
- Our centers average age is 36.25
- Our defense is still basically the same defense.
Yuck...... and most here want to dump more futures for an aging Karlsson.
All hitting their real primes. We bout to go 82-0.
Is this team better than last season - yes.
Is that good enough to make the playoffs - not sure.
This is still a fringe playoff team unless Dubas adds another substantial forward.
I think you’re gonna have a rough go watching this team the next couple years lol.
They’re gonna go after what impact players they can afford to acquire regardless of their age and see what happens.
They could certainly use some youth, but in 16, that was a lightning in a bottle type moment with Sullivan having coached and trusted Sheary, Rust, Wilson, Kuhn, etc. Unlikely we can replicate that.
Plus, as awesome as those kids were for us. We don’t do **** without PH and Kessel trades. We need those types of impact moves to even think about doing anything in the postseason from here on out.
Just slang for dummy. Categorized in the neanderthal insult...like knuckle dragger. It's not a perfect insult but it fits. Like - a sheeple...one of the heard...mouth open just a drooler zombie type.
I think most of us just want to watch an entertaining product at this point. Stapling ourselves to Sullivan and Jarry basically sealed the fate of this team - and since we're NOT (hopefully?) trading Sid/Geno it would be a hell of a lot more fun to see them post some numbers and highlights in the regular season versus watching this shit stain product Sullivan has created for another 82 games (I admittedly could only stomach 55 games last year and I'll take the under on that number this year).
So yeah - Karlsson and some fun wins/losses - or another 82 of just trying to play the right way and find our game while our old ass roster slugs along either winning - on the nights we play loose and ignore Sully - or losing again and again 3-1 when we can't score, can't find a power play point, and can't win 2-1 ourselves since we're literally not built that way - not even a single line.
I know what you mean. But then I look at their playoff game total - and I think that negates any sort of injury stretches they've sustained. I mean, Geno's game SHOULD age gracefully - especially if he shifts to wing later and just bombs that shot. Sid? Favorite player ever but are we expecting him to freaking out-muscle the opponent behind the net / half wall areas at 38 years old? If so I hope he's stacking those weights over the next few years versus trying to stay fast.
I've also started watching older games - just not THAT old. They're equally fun and depressing. It's insane to me to think this team finally put together 4 lines that could score in late 2015 - dominated - then proceeded to try and fit EVERY mold of hockey whilst having a coach that only knows ONE style. Like, if you're a hybrid team (Vegas) have a coach that can do it. If you're a fast midget team that wants to sprint for 60 minutes - ice that roster. Here we are years later listening to the same quotes from Sullivan - yet we went out and got slow ass players...again. Those that aren't slow can't find the net under a magnifying glass.
