Hope we start to see Fitz in action by then too. -

Ah the Stump Merrill and Bucky Dent years. And who could forget Mel Hall? Don’t know if you remember Star Ledger Yankee beat reporter Moss Klein, but back then he was constantly ripping what the Yankees had become. Steinbrenner being suspended was the best thing to happen to that franchise. Allowed Stick to build and retain a nice nucleus. And George could still be George when he came back, but no longer to such an insanely destructive degree. -

2024 New York Yankees Season Thread

Heh heh one thing a lot of Yankee fans really suck at is handling any kind of adversity. Did the “on the ledge” gang really think the Yankees weren’t ever going to lose a few in a row? They want everything to be easy, and at the first sign of “trouble”, they want to trade a bunch of meh-ish guys for whatever star they think they’re entitled to. Because snagging Soto somehow wasn’t enough. Not saying YOU’RE like that, just a lot of Yankee fans that I’ve seen and heard. -
And as much as I hate to admit it, had the Devils found some way to win just enough games to squeak in the WC2 slot, hard to imagine that the Rangers wouldn’t have absolutely destroyed them. It would’ve been ugly.

They weren’t going to keep winning at an .800 clip. They’re still on pace for 108 wins, and they probably won’t win that many either. As long as the Yankees stay healthy they’ll get their 95 wins or so. Judge hasn’t even really started to hit yet. -
He squeezed a lot out of his team, but can’t imagine his antics over the last quarter of the season were any help.

Caps’ coach has to be heavily considered for the Jack Adams…they were NOT expected to so much as sniff a playoff spot this year.

Nice job tonight by the pen…they really shut the Pirates down. Only two runs in two games for Pitt. Garrett…what a start he’s off to. 9-8…would’ve happily taken that after 0-5. -

Kahkonen was quite good in his small sample here, but that's all it was...a small sample. Jake's save% as a Devil fell all the way down to .900 after last night (all his Devils numbers took a beating after that hot start), but let's face it, not many goalies would've flourished over a full season with the 2023-24 Devils. This team was absolutely atrocious in its own end, almost all season. Yeah, like MD2020 said, MacDermid will be back, and will probably dress in games where goonish goofuses like Rempe are playing. Better than that Rempe running amok taking out god knows who. I don't really want the others back, but I swear if Smith somehow returns...that just can't fvcking happen. I'd have to wonder what the hell Fitz watched all year long to think that's a good decision. Yeah re: the AHLers, I suspect all will be back. Maybe one of Daws or Schmid is gone, if Malek or Brennan is worked into the AHL. Poulter's also in the mix. -
Even more irritating at the time was being nowhere to be found. Fans AND media alike were wondering where the hell he even was.

I'm sure the Canadiens are taking this exact same stance if this guy didn't just put up 14 G and 33 A in 70 GP as a 20-year-old (just turned 21 yesterday) in his first AHL season. These teams should just admit it...when a guy who did some really sh!tty things can potentially help your team win and has talent, you'll bend over backwards to try to find some positive spin with regards to how much "better" of a person he really is now. That's all this is. The Canadiens think he can potentially make them a better team on the ice. If that wasn't the case, there's no "Well he knows he made a big mistake but..." from the Canadiens.

The core is on the clock, really (here's their ages for next season...posted it elsewhere previously): Jack Hughes: 23 (last 3 seasons: 189 GP, 229 Pts) Nico Hischier: 25/26 (last 3 seasons: 222 GP, 207 Pts) Jesper Bratt: 26 (last 3 seasons: 240 GP, 229 Pts) Timo Meier: 28 (last 3 seasons: 224 GP, 194 Pts) Dougie Hamilton: 31 (last 3 seasons: 164 GP, 120 Pts) Luke Hughes: 21 Simon Nemec: 20/21 Luke and Simon obviously haven't reached their primes yet, but the rest are there. FWIW, Dawson will be 23, and Marino and Siegs will be 27. Speaking of Dawson, he wound up with just 7 points over his last 30 GP...Devils gotta figure out what the hell happened with him. It's great that he played in every game for the third straight year but goddamn I barely noticed him way too much of the time. Still a lot of youth, but from now, each season needs to be approached with real urgency. The one thing that I take some solace in...as much as it sucks to miss the playoffs yet again (obvious been a LOT of that since 2012), I can't really make a remotely compelling case that this year's team was going deep, let alone winning in the first round...especially with Jack not being 100% and nonexistent coaching, and a lot of guys not playing up to last year's levels. So I guess take the Top 10 pick and go into next season thinking, in Fitz's own words: "The window starts NOW. Playoffs or bust!"
