Satans Hockey Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Meant to talk about this back at the home opener but how the hell did Whoopi Goldberg end up doing commentary for the 03 cup dvd and not Patrick Warburton who is incredible at it and actually has a real connection to the team...

Matthews Laine (I personally wouldn’t take him over Bratt) Tkachuk Sergachev McAvoy Fox Debrincat That’s about it unless I’m missing someone. I haven’t looked at the draft but holy crap, that was a strong draft lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laine’s stock has really fallen over the past few years. I remember when Jets fans used to think he was on the same level as Matthews. Now he’s got a reputation for floating about the ice. Still will get you 30 goals a year though so he’s doing something right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While those re-drafts are obviously an exercise in hindsight, I don’t think we yet know enough about Bratt to make that call. On top of that, while Laine does have that reputation, Bratt may provide difficult or impossible to re-sign. So I’m unsure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not considering contract in a redraft scenario, but yes agreed while we are enjoying Bratt’s breakout and assuming it’s here to stay, it is very early to give him a benefit of doubt over another player who has been doing it for years.

Was/is this the new intro video? I wont find out until December if at all. If so, its a significant step up from Dano's huge head looking like the Great and Powerful Oz, minus the green.

I’ll leave it to people who follow the cap to tell us why we will or won’t have room to get it done. Don't even think you need to follow the cap to know we have room to get it done. Especially after whiffing on Gaudreau this year. Next year they will have Tatar, Wood, Haula, Severson, and Graves coming off the books. Even if it was *just* Tatar, his 4.5 is plenty to bridge the gap between Bratt's current contract (5.5) and what he'll likely get next year (8.5? 9?). They will have roughly $43m to play with next offseason. Of course, a lot of that money will be used to fill out big holes on the front (there are only 5 forwards signed for next year). But you'd expect some of the younger kids to fill those spots, and hopefully a free agent or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a good game, people are happy he had a good game and are saying “what if”. Plus, your take is weird in that you say they are in 6th place in the division, where in reality, point wise you could also say they are tied for second, and the whole fvcking division is nearly equal in the standings. Sorry for thinking that Mackenzie Blackwood is a terrible goalie. He has played in 135 games in his career and has won 58. In those 135 games he has allowed almost 3 goals per game. I think that is what GAA 2.93 means. For the 135 games he had a Save % of .907, not very good for a #1 NHL Goalie. Now this season he has played in 5 games, won 3 and lost 2 and his GAA has improved to 2.81 and he has a Save % of .871 for those 5 games. Sorry, these are the stats for our #1 goalie. I have never had any luck making chicken salad out of chicken sh!t. Later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB3 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 there are some reasonable takes about why you'd be skeptical about blackwood as our number one. "goalie wins" certainly isn't fvcking one of them lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
