I want Coleman and Goose to re-sign. We need to start winning.

looked like dude hit a brick wall lol

Let's go pickles!

Thankfully, we get a break from this miserable sh!t show for nine days after tonight! LGD.

Ouch...

Hey, Hayden has more goals than Q this season we clearly won that trade.

Ready for demotion, sure.

Pretty much a guaranteed loss with Cory in net, I just hope Nico, Coleman, Hughes, and Goose play well. All I really care about at this point.

LGD I want Cory to do well, I really really do. But I'm also expecting Blackwood to have to play 30-40 minutes tonight.

Same. Never envisioned being fine having that many days off. F!- LGD

LGD !

Probably cause they are not fully ready and it's better for their development to play top minutes in the AHL than bottom line minutes in the NHL

Re Zacha: Is he still technically ‘young’ and capable of developing further? I suppose. Does he look, in any way shape or form - in any fvcking world - that he is progressing? Absolutely not. He honestly looks embarrassing out there. The effort literally isn’t there. The last game against Washington I spotted him coasting entire shifts. He doesn’t appreciate being here and given the chances his draft position has afforded him. He can gtfo. As far as other lineup decisions go, why is McLeod or any other kid not playing over Hayden and Rooney?? I am so fvcking sick of seeing those two worthless sacks of sh!t get penciled into an NHL lineup every night. What have they done to deserve it? So tired of it. The one good thing from being a bad team is that you get to give your young players valuable NHL time and experience. Why is John Hayden on this team? I’m done...why is Nas still our coach? (Even from before Shero got fired? I can’t anymore with this garbage.

I grew up through the Viet Nam Era. I really don't think it should be a topic of discussion in this section. When I was in high school I went to funerals of guys I knew in Boy Scouts. Please keep that out of this site. Thank you.

You can still cheat but you have to: A ) do it without the manager or GM ever finding out cause they aren't going to risk getting blacklisted over it and will stop it (and there's a certain amount of player peer pressure here too, nobody wants to be known as rogues who got their manager and GM fired and their organization smeared). B ) not tell anyone who'll ever spill the beans on you personally, since when it's institutionalized it's hard to know who did what and how much (and impossible to hide in the locker room), but if it's on a smaller basis it's easier to pin personal involvement down if you get caught Just having organizations forced to be more vigilant should curb the institutionalized stuff. Plus I would hope baseball would monitor the video rooms in each ballpark and take some other precautions going forward

Well to me it was always clear that the goal was to build a younger group that could win together. We simply didn't have a group that we could re-tool. As much as Hall was our best player Nico was the player we had to build around. Then we got Jack. And it became even more apparent that our real window was always going to be around them. Now last summer we got the opportunity to infuse a lot of talent in the lineup for cheap. So suddenly with Palms, Subban, Hall, Vats in their prime and maybe Gusev... we suddenly had a potential window. I even commented that this summer... that it was cool that we kind of had 2 windows... cause when you win the cup... you usually have a setup of... vets in their prime... and some really good young players still cheap and a good supporting cast. Window 1 didn't happen as many of the players didn't pan out as much as we hoped and coaching, goaltending and a bunch of stuff didn't go our way. So it made our players in their prime expendable and if the goal is to really surround our young core... we're better off betting on a 18 years old joining jack and Nico... than an overpaid vet who's about to decline We still gotta remember that our real window is to win around Nico. And with Hall having a step out of the door... with his injury history... etc etc well we're likely going to look at this situation as a bullet dodged just like we're seeing Kovy now. Hall in 6-7-8 seasons at 10m + could have very well been a disaster.

Unless you get an absolute King's Ransom back, you can't trade Coleman. He's one of the few salt-of-the-earth, competitive guys on this roster it seems.

That's simply not true at all. Are you purposely not looking at the big picture on purpose? if so. why? First of all you didnt answer my other question. Did you go through the thread i made tracking his moves and the state of the team as it went on and what was possible? If you would look at it subjectively maybe you'd finally understand. I mean how can you even suggest that finishing a season with the same points... but having a bunch of young guys not even in their primes yet and assets to make moves... and having an old group with no core and all players are past their prime and about to retire and no assets and not a single promising prospect is spinning tires and not an upgrade in that sense? Honestly dude come on

That Wilson-Ovechkin blind backhand pass for a goal reminded me of Elias-Arnott to win the Cup. The good 'ol days.

Hockey coaching genius John Hynes is 2-3 in his first 5 in Nashville.

Was just going to post Coleman for Pres, heh heh.

I spent two hours trying to figure out if you were joking or if this was serious. I’m still deciding.

Agree with you there that's what he did best. He may not be the guy you want to do the drafting but he is the guy you want to trade for the draft picks.
