  1. What about at the quarter and a tiny bit pole
  2. I’m almost afraid to say it…Comrie may not have had a horrid period but giving up 4 goals isn’t a good one. People wonder why “slightly below average goaltending” isn’t enough to get it done.. UPL has been the only actual good goalie
  3. Gonna have to “battle back” (worked last game)
  4. love the fans love the crest would prefer a win just do your best
  5. Laura San Giacomo Brawndo now scooping entertainment news
  6. Adams gives the fanbase what they want to see
  7. One thing I’ve been pleased about is, anecdotally, the fanbase holding pretty firm on “playoffs being the expectation” this year. Much more frustration at the slow start under the prism of this context than any sort of excuse making (which you see, but not nearly as prevalent). I like that. It’s nice to see the general awareness that year 4 should be about achieving something tangible. Tuch cited the boos yesterday as spurring them on, right? A little reminder wasn’t misplaced. It’s good stuff. And if we make the playoffs, Adams will certainly have done an acceptable job. 4 seasons is enough time to expect a playoff birth, but he’d still go down as the only GM of the last 3 to actually do it.
  8. At hockey games? I agree
  9. Now that made me laugh haha No not the guy in the meme, the post itself is yet another “Steph Curry”. The meme I’m referring to is, “Oh, but I was told Steph Curry couldn’t shoot?!” Basically, someone invents something no one has ever said and argues against the imagined point of view
  10. “Steph Curry”, for the 2,534th time
  11. 6K playing well is indeed super key, if that continues it keeps our floor within striking distance of the playoffs for most of the season imo. I need to see better from the second guy still, as our overall results in net still trend to slightly below average, but it’s at least something to work with, right now. I too sense we are at a bit of an inflection point with regards to the season. Adams seemed hesitant to bring up Kulich/Rosen. If these guys prove ready to contribute to the team in a true “worthy of a top 12 role” way, we may indeed have the forward depth needed to secure a playoff spot, regardless of the time we wasted in putting the on-ice roster together. There’s too much runway left to care too much about the slow start if they can shift gears quick, here. If Kulich/Rosen prove not ready to make a meaningful difference, it swings the other way and we are probably still lacking the NHL forward depth necessary for a season where playoffs are the mandate. One thing that is essentially a myth is the, “and then when Thompson and Quinn return we’ll be off and running” line of thought. We will almost certainly be cycling other players through the injury recovery process by that time. The goal isn’t to get to a fully healthy roster, it’s always to find ways to win in spite of it, because injuries, not health, is the day to day reality of an 82 game season
  12. Lol no Have you seen the show Just Shoot Me?
  13. I’m never the friend of a friend guy but I can’t sit on this nugget anymore: my wife’s good friend dated Comrie, apparently he’s a pretty aloof guy, to use the kindest term
  14. You white, you Ben Affleck
  15. Oh wow had no idea the Devils were struggling so much until I saw it in the title. Both on a back to back, with young teams it’s prob not much of an issue for either team. A win today gets us above .500 for the second time this season
  16. The fact Mitts jumped at all illustrates that Cozens could also have a jump. I still see Cozens as the LT 2C. I could also see him on RW in the top 6, there’s room there too. But preferably Thompson Casey and Cozens are the top 3 Cs because they seem to be our 3 best centres. If things go to plan one can fill the Roy role. Might even be Thompson in a few years
  17. Slow legs indeed…He’s on his last, actually. Great in the room but if his play continues to decline these kids will have to learn to fish for themselves. Presumably this is KO’s last year in leading them to water: he’s certainly not bringing home many fish outright
  18. Love reasonable comps like this
  19. Asked for a trade under the prism of Adams wanting to rebuild. Just clerical, not looking to rehash Finally a voice of reason
  20. Success- back to .500! Ciao until tomorrow
  21. Getting some puck luck now
  22. The first time we’ve benefited from a deflection. Crazy it took this long tbh
