Speculation: When Does Bruno Get The Boot?

[101st_fan]

Except that Sissons, McCarron, and Smith had all been bad leading up to the Kraken game as well. I don’t get how the conclusion from the first few games of the season should somehow be that Parsinnen was the cause of our fourth line bleeding goals. He certainly didn’t help in the short chance he got but the other guys were bad over much larger sample sizes. Which drives home my point they get a much longer leash to prove themselves than the likes of Parsinnen.

Two games without Pärssinen to start the season, none of the players in question were on the ice for more than one ES goal against (players not in the discussion were out there for multiple ES goals against when we pulled the goalie). Then the SEA game where things went off the rails. Then the next three games were at most four ES goals against across the entire roster (Stammer, Sissons, Smith, Josi ... March, Forsberg, McCarron, Tomasino with 3)

Looking at the 4th line combos for the season ....

17/47/36 - 5on5 on ice 1 ga, 0 gf
90/47/36 - 5on5 on ice 1ga, 0gf
26/47/36 - 5on5 on ice 1ga, 0gf
10/47/36 - 5on5 on ice 1ga, 0gf
68/47/36 - 5on5 on ice 1 ga, 2gf
13/47/36 - 5on5 on ice 1 ga, 0gf (16 seconds together)
13/47/10 - 5on5 on ice 3ga, 1 gf (4:30 together)

Only one player started their season with such a painful number of goals against in only a handful of shifts. Sucks for the guy who changed his number to 13 ... but he's had the bad luck of that number and he is now shuffled even further down with how L'Heureux is performing.

I don’t know how you’re pulling line info but McCarron, Smith, and Sissons all gave up a lot of goals to start the season even outside of the Kraken game. The first + game any of them had was the last one.

Please do because the next games for McCarron are -4, -1, -2, 0, and -1 and for Smith are -2, -3, -1, 0, and 0 before finally having a plus game in the last game. Are you really trying to argue that they haven’t been minus players in most games this season (or 50% of games in Smiths case since I know you love pedantry)? Because that’s just a straight up fact.

When before the Jusso experiment didn't hold up ... go to with Jusso and then after. Got it. Moving the goalposts to if they were minus is an interesting touch. Expected but interesting. Not realizing what the lines were game by game is a nice selective memory.

10/15 SEA (4 out of 6 5on5 ga with 13 on ice) 4th line of 13/47/10 ... Smith starting on the 2nd line.

Vandy fans didn't move the goalposts as much as you have. What's next?

Dude you’re just making stuff up I never said to argue about. Believe whatever you want.

I posted the data of our 4th lines which you then questioned where the line combos came from when it was the starting lineups and realized TOI lines 5on5. You then invoked minus players although the 4th line stats I posted showed a lot of goals against and few goals for. If the 4th line was so bad before Jusso got in the roster why doesn't that show in the goals against data? Simple question.

 

[Kat Predator]

Our 4th line is miles from being a special group. That one can color some of their stats favorably as compared to our other lines is nauseating and just underscores how bad the team is playing overall.

No I said McCarron, Smith, and Sissons got longer leashes than Parsinnen despite being equally bad. You posted a bunch of data showing that is in fact correct. Or do you think those guys aren’t minus players?

To be equally bad they would have had to be on ice for three goals against in their first seven shifts. That simply was not the case. Through two GAMES they weren't out there for as many goals against.

 

[101st_fan]

lol that’s a level of pedantry I thought that not even you could achieve.

I can't help it if people fail to use words as defined.

The reality is that the 4th line combos as iced have been meh in 7 of 8 games so far which is fine for their role. The one game where they sucked, they sucked at Linda Lovelace levels. That line as a unit is going to be on ice for 30-40 goals for 5on5 across a season .. 9 ish goals per forward plus a few from the blueline.

The line so far hasn't been horrible outside of the Kraken game. Individuals caught during line changes or the line out there as a 0 or -1 for most games. Four of the first five games they struggled to find an identity ... that fifth game they got molested. The last three games they've been a positive factor in games ... ok, Bedard got one in against them.

The player that meshed worst on that line was Pärssinen. Three goals against, one for, in his first seven shifts. Objectively that gets the player in his only game that season viewed in a negative light.

Taking a drink when Bruno makes a head scratch worthy coaching decision IS NOT a drinking game for me. My wallet and health can't handle that.

You are making a good decision. Tonight's game might be interesting. I guess today is an optional skate as well.

I'm guessing ZLH out and we dress 7 defensemen. Big Sexy to the second line.

So the corresponding drink would be a triple shot right? That's be three questionable moves to start the game

 

[Armourboy]

Whatever it is you can bet it probably won't make a lick of sense.
