  1. It's crazy to think how much losing Johns hurt the blueline of this team. Then you lose Oleksiak in the expansion draft thinking you might be able to convince him to still sign with you since he was a UFA. Then Klingberg's agent oversold his value and we couldn't afford him. The Seguin and Benn contracts suck now because we aren't getting the players they were. At the time the structure term and cap hit were pretty friendly for their market. They fell off far faster than you would have hoped. Otter was great last year but too many times this season he let in 3 and 4 goals. That could be due to the downgrade with the blueline and DeBoers style compared to Bones. Wedgewood looked better last year, but again that could have been different systems between the coaches and the blueline in front. I like what Dadanov has brought so far. Marchment started off okay but seems like he was largely invisible. I like Domi but I don't know if this team can afford him. We're stuck with Suter for another year.
  2. Sounds like a promising business venture, veterans life advice hotline.
  3. I'm exited sounds like it's pulling the much appreciated economy and trade from TW Troy. I didn't play Troy or Three Kingdoms although I did watch a number of videos of Three Kingdoms, it seemed pretty good. Hopefully this one knocks it out of the park.
  4. I did not serve, but I did a few endurance events that were led by former SF cadre and each one had their own little trick for motivation. By far my favorite reminder to suck it up came from Cadre Roony. He would say during some evolution "Think of someone that isn't with us anymore, you don't think they'd do anything to trade places with you right now? Stop feeling sorry for yourselves." That one comment from years ago has stuck with me.
  5. The issue for this team has been consistency. Olofsson in the lineup was interesting to watch. He had the 2nd most shots on the team with 5 in 10 min of ice time. For reference Robo had 11 shots with between 19 and 21 minutes of ice time. I'm not sure if TOI includes the PP TOI or not.
  6. I saw the one angle live but was busy for most of the first period. So yeah, walking away from the game and getting text updates based on what looked like a dumb two minute minor didn't register the need to go back and look at something I had already seen.
  7. yeah... 5 min major and ejection, I should have watched the angle before spouting off. Also, I didn't have a problem with him not addressing the media last night, but I thought for sure he would have at least prepared when he spoke today. Yikes. Domi fined for this slash I couldn't find another angle but I assume this was the slash in question and because the refs missed it and it was so late in the game they gave him the fine? I don't know how the "spin the wheel" of enforcement works.
  8. listen the irony of blowing money on alcohol and not on bally sports to watch stars games for the regular season isn't lost on me. If YouTubeTV still had FSSW instead of raising prices every year then I would have been on the regular season thread all season, like previous season threads and on this and the previous board.
  9. Fuck, maybe some of you are too sensitive for this sport yeah? you sound soft
  10. Take a breath. When has Benn ever bowed out like a cuck? If anything he fucking loses it at times (see tonight). If he didn't answer questions tonight who fucking cares, he played what, one shift? What the fuck was he going to contribute about tonight's loss? Who's going to rip him to shreds tomorrow? Subban? Cool. DeBoers needs to put the team from games 1 and 2 back out there and move forward and work on the breakout during tomorrow's practice. Top line needs to put up points, another d-man needs to elevate their game past 3rd line, Miro can't carry the backend for 4 straight wins.
  11. Is it his choice or the coach's or whoever the org hires for PR? Benn is soft spoken in front of cameras but apparently says what needs to be said when it matters.
  12. I felt like Miro gave a fuck. So did Glendening but Deboers decided to scratch him for this game.
  13. wtf was DeBoer doing fucking with the lineup tonight? two OT away games in the conference finals and he thinks the best move is blow it all up? The only thing he should have been working on was breakouts. I've never seen a post game where he goes that route but... we'll see.
  14. Fuck these announcers. I want Joel Klatt and Gus Johnson doing a game because they would be infinitely more entertaining because I know these cowards won't let us have Razor and Bogorad.
  15. Alright boys, under 7 min let's pound a beer (or a spirit) and rally for game four.
  16. boarded? he got hit and dove. but allegedly "chirping" on the way to the box? so I assume 2 minute minor for unsportsmanlike.
  17. I don't understand an ejection for Domi. Sure maybe a double minor and maybe a 10 for a misconduct. That Vegas player looked like he took the softest dive he could. We need Pavs to put the team on his back with 4 goals and Hintz for a GWG.
  18. yeah. TIL they can tack on the remaining time from one period onto the next period.
  19. He got high sticked and went too far to knock Stone down. It should have been 2 minutes, get off the cross.
  20. Not sure why DeBowers felt the need to change up the lineup tonight unless we had some injuries. I don't know that I mentioned this back in 2018 during the draft but the Dellandria pick was a fucking reach and he really hasn't done enough to change anyone's mind. He's not Honka bad but Dickinson showed far more far earlier in his career. I hope I eat my words in a year or two.
