so coller knows more about hockey than Ruff. probably not
- Homer

I think the point was that Coller knows more about stats than Ruff, which may or may not be true.

Gleason banged Ott's ex wife-----that's why they fought this year.

I learn something every day....

And these are the Days of Our Lives...


So I know you haven't heard anything.. but are you expecting anything this weekend from Buffalo or any trades at hte draft?

those advanced stats articles that M Coller did for WGR were extremely damning for Lindy. did one on Boyes, Leino, and i forget who else. cliff notes was that ruff was basically a dinosaur here who used his players completely wrong.

thats why when lindy mentioned analytics in his opening presser in dallas i had a good laugh...

Go to the Islander boards, most of the fans hope that Garth Snow doesn't re-sign Boyes.

Boyes is a perimeter player. I would never want him on any team regardless of who my coach was.

so he's good enough to play in the most important of games but not the regular season?
- Homer

What im saying is a "call up". Like if we had a formidable team and lost a key player he could contribute and keep the teams momentum going.

it was just a 1 year deal wasn't it?

I always felt like we never used him correctly...

we traded for him and made him our 3C almost immediately...

I didn't understand why he wasn't a 2nd line winger across from Stafford and Ennis/Roy?

I can see him being pivotal in hair development within the organization. He has Stamkos calibur hair and we really need to be taking advantage of that.

We all know that the higher the calibur of hair, the better the player. Just ask Troy Polamalu.

If they aren't in the NHL...

Armia
Larsson
Girgensons
Tropp
Mancari

would be the order of call ups IMO

Tropp
Larsson/Armia - they have different rolls so it depends why the callup

Good chance we get to see them in some preseason games

Did Mancari get a one year or two year deal?

1 year... it was literally 2 clicks away you lazy fart. lol

Im excited about Tropp. Could be a very good 3rd liner in the future. Has decent hands, good speed and grit to spare.

*Insert response about how we already have enough 3rd liners on the team

Good chance Tropp makes the team....I think Porter should hit the road.

We have a lot of 3rd liners already.. we need top line talent..


I hope he rebounds from the injury alright. he may have to start in roch because of it..

Good chance Tropp makes the team....I think Porter should hit the road.
- toddkac

has he played any since his injury?

lol... Porter was a very solid 3/4C for us last year. Foligno/Porter/Flynn were a good line for us the last 20 games or so.

If Porter is not our 4C then who is? McCormick again?

We don't even really have a 3C right now for that matter unless Foligno is playing it again. Larsson is the only other option.

Looks like we're finally agreeing on things.
The only thing I'd have different would be DAL picking Ristolainen or Zadorov, but a fine mock nonetheless.
