Weave

I think we won’t know what we have until about mid December. The games tighten up considerably and teams know other teams tendencies by then. If we’re still playing consistently well and winning in the depths of the holiday lead-in we’ll be able to make some sound judgements re: the team and coach.

Yeah, it's no coincidence that a power forward played well against a team with a heavy game. He might just be more valuable as the season tightens up.

Wow was the ice tilted in OT. Impressive.

Simply looking outmatched tonight. His game is not working against this team right now.

He might not belong in the NHL right this minute. He’s outmatched tonight.

Olofsson is invisible and Jack isn’t moving his feet enough.

I'm continually amazed at the work all of these people have done to keep adding generations to the fanbase. It is no small task at all to keep the 50 something original fans interested AND new groups of pre teens every 3 years. 19 freaking 77. And here we are on the cusp of 2020 discussing the next movie on a hockey forum. Yeah, they've been butchering this, haven't they? I enjoy them all. Some are better than others, but lets face it, these are popcorn flicks. Serial novels on a big screen. I can't wait to turn my brain off and have fun with it again.

***** cancer.

Sobotka seems to be playing a role the same was Vaclav Varada played a role. Or Yuri Khemlev. And it seems to be working. Nonetheless, I certainly wouldn't complain if an upgrade were to fall in our laps. In the meantime, I'm pretty damned pleased that they've found a way to make him useful on this roster.

Ra’Kru and Pookie Pookie in the Sabrespace lexicon. I can only hope that this gets pushed, someone gets irrationally upset, and minor drama/entertainment ensues. Again.

Ra'Kru. Where there is a will, there is a way.

Most. Descriptive. Title. Evar!

It must have been removed, because I don't see it. And you are 100% correct IMO. Ruff was a bottom 6, bottom 2 player, depending on whether he played forward or D.

I approve of this message.

Slane Irish Whiskey. A big glass. Been one of those days.

The system doesn't allow it. It seems like even the Libertarians have given up this time.

Is there a gif or video out there of what happened?

Yup. Ahead of C Rammer, Luce, and Robert.

I think it is simpler that that. He’s not figuring out how to translate what worked for him in younger leagues at the NHL level. Some guys never do.

I don’t think Casey is well suited to wing at all. Reinhart’s game screamed wing to me. Casey’s game screams center to me, but I’m becoming concerned as to whether that game is developing enough.

Ruff is a big stretch in that group. Big stretch.

I think he was referring to the Mittlstadt line. Are they getting 65% D zone starts?

Mostly A. Would be interesting to see usage charts and see if he’s being used differently but still for huge ice time amounts. I think he’s just one of those guys, like Zhitnick, that has the skill set and stamina for that level of ice time. And he has been the most suited player for big minutes pretty much his entire time here.

That's a story I hadn't heard. I'm losing optimism re: Casey. He's got mad skills, but.......

How awesome is it to not have an obvious man out when a top 6 guy comes back into the lineup?
