Billznut Posted April 10, 2017 Report Posted April 10, 2017 Finishing dead last AFTER Kane, Eichel and O'Reilly came back from injuries (when at one point they were within 4 points of a playoff spot)....................... does this mean the injury narrative isn't going to work? Or are they still going to try and ride it as long as it will last?Exactly. Been sick of hearing the injury excuse all year. It had NO impact on the final result. The season and playoffs were there for the taking after their bye week. This team failed to show up the final two months. Plain and simple. I used to love Tim Murray, now I'm skeptical. I want wholesale changes on this team, head coach and at least a third of the lineup changed. Otherwise nothing will be different next year. Count on that. Quote

I want wholesale changes on this team, head coach and at least a third of the lineup changed. Otherwise nothing will be different next year. Count on that. Agreed. If the team is this bad because Eichel missed 20 games, and a couple of other top 6 guys missed 10-15 then there are much bigger problems to deal with. This team will never be a contender if they can't even get within 17 points of a playoff spot because of some injuries. Every team gets hurt, nobody in the organization should be using is as an excuse. Quote
Robviously Posted April 10, 2017 Report Posted April 10, 2017 Well this season is almost over, felt worse than our two tank seasons :( Quoting this post again to help everyone deal with the pain of this season. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted April 10, 2017 Report Posted April 10, 2017 I legitimately thought they won based on the reactions in here until I looked at nhl.com just now. Nice Quote
North Buffalo Posted April 10, 2017 Report Posted April 10, 2017 Missed the third to sit in a hot tub and look at the full moon with my wife.... good thing... second was all i needed to see Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted April 10, 2017 Report Posted April 10, 2017 Just ate 4 famous chili half smokes after the caps were shut out.... Even for a shutout it was still a fun game Quote
SwampD Posted April 10, 2017 Report Posted April 10, 2017 Just got back from watching the game on delay at a friend's house. All I can really say about it is, man, he served a great home made pulled pork and coleslaw sandwich. I'm going to be thinking about that sandwich for way longer than I am this season. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted April 10, 2017 Report Posted April 10, 2017 Fitting end to the season. Fire everyone. If Bylsma is back, you may get your wish....about 25 games too late, but still. Would you rather they both come back and potentially get fired together next season, or have Bylsma fired now and Murray get a year or two with a new coach? Quote
Huckleberry Posted April 10, 2017 Report Posted April 10, 2017 You "overseas" fans are the best. Truly. The dedication is remarkable. I hope you can visit for a game someday. Ever been to the U.S.? Florida when I was 8 :p I legitimately thought they won based on the reactions in here until I looked at nhl.com just now. Nice Some of us went into mini tank mode last two games, gained us 5 spots in the draft by losing these two. Quote
Huckleberry Posted April 10, 2017 Report Posted April 10, 2017 Best part about this season, damn this video got me excited in preseason. :D Quote

TrueBlueGED Posted April 10, 2017 Report Posted April 10, 2017 Apparently Eichel lost a $2 million bonus because he got bounced from the top 10 in points per game yesterday. Draisaitl got 2, which moved him ahead of Eichel. Eichel closed out the year with 1G and 1A in 6 games. Quitting on his coach was costly, in a very literal sense. Quote

He mentioned those last games in the presser. There's no denying the look he gave that he wasn't happy with himself. Quote
