We didn’t know what we had

[stickty111]

Safe to say some rather be right then cheer for their own team. News flash, Lou isn't our GM anymore.
Maybe I should make a thread on Carlyle? He got to the conference finals after leaving us.

Anyone is better than Dubas

So you would take any GM over Dubas? Do people just ignore the good things he's done?

 

[sparxx87]

Because of a coach he had nothing to do with and elite goaltending.

You mean the coach who only went to NY because of him? Or Varlamov losing the net at times to Sorokin for weak goals?

Both of these points are objectively false.

 

[sparxx87]

But those aren't comparable. Two different teams. I meant that Lou would have made similar moves for guys like Foligno, Nash and Rittich. Is that not reasonable had he still been here? He had no problem dealing picks for players.

Trading picks for players that help your team is much different than trading even more picks for players that don’t.

I don’t think Lou is in this mess had he been the one to make the moves after the first Boston loss, so it’s really tough to know how he’d be walking in this mess.

Didn’t you spend the last week gloating about the “grit guys” being wrong?

 

[Donnie740]

Dubas gets results? Are you serious? What results?

No kidding - - what a laughably naive comment.

This years team has the most humiliating playoff collapse in the 100+ year franchise history but Analytics Fanboi cheers the “results”

 

[ShaneFalco]

Utterly pathetic segments in the fanbase.

Give it up

 

[ShaneFalco]

Get rid of this thread please

 

[egd27]

Why do people ignore all of Dubas' terrible deals yet do the opposite with Lou?

Because they refuse to admit they were wrong about the Boy Blunder.

 

[Stonehands1990]

People gotta stop acting like Lou was some God when he was here lol

He was a middle of the pack gm.

I thought Lou was a dinosaur but we set the franchise record with him as GM. Islanders looking good also

 

[Buds17]

Apples and oranges. Lou is President and GM with NYI. They also have a different playoff path. Good on them for their success though.

 

[egd27]

And the Lou York Islanders advance against the Boston Bruins.

What was the corsi and xGF btw?

New York plays in what is probably the best division.

Corsi was 6-2 NYI

I agree, but I could see Lou making nearly identical moves that Dubas did this past deadline. Lou made the moves for Plekanec and Boyle, I think he'd make the moves especially for Foligno and Smith, because they seemed like fits. Those are very Lou type of players. Lou is still in the playoffs, Dubas isnt. People are fixated on that and quite frankly, I don't get it.

Absolute clinic by the islanders in puck possession and closing out the Bruins. Dubas is a soft stats nerd and the team played like their GM. Talent and but no will to win.

I think the crowd's chanting "Lou's the man"

I'd take Lou era plekanec over Foligno to be honest. Foligno was totally cooked no idea what the hell Dubas was doing with that trade.

A “different” playoff path?

Please tell me you’re not that foolish to try and suggest beating Pittsburgh and Boston was easier than beating Montreal or Winnipeg.

Your embarrassing yourself with a comment like that.

Hard to tell. Were the Jackets hiding an injury or did Dubas know about before the trade happened?

This thread should end well.

I don’t, because I never see the team being structured so top heavy. For me in particular, I really appreciate his interest in strength down the middle. Like with Boyle and Plekanec, he’s acquired Pageau and Zajac for 5 very good centreman and his team wins with depth and balance.

The Leafs are in a completely different situation. There’s a sharp drop after Tavares, and it falls off a cliff after Kerfoot

How does he pass a medical in that condition. He was clearly damaged goods.

I couldn't tell you. But he was clearly not 100% when he got here.

So he gave up a premium asset for a defective one?

Not sure how that’s a ringing endorsement.
