No idea, I'm going to let you beat this up inside your head to build up more rage though.

It's all good man. We disagree. Just really want to win some of these important ones once in a blue moon

Still no answer to the easiest question I've posed to you multiple times.


Has Evander Kane lived up to his expectations as an exceptional skating, plays on the edge of dirty, is physical, fast and can snipe.

He also is known for his knack for getting carried away at the team's expense.
He has brought 10x the consistency and skill I would expect from so many others no this team!

We all know he can be a loose cannon, but I'm fine with having one of those on my team!

I think Kane has some awesome qualities.

NBC Denver reports the Broncos are "finalizing" a deal with ex-Chargers coach Mike McCoy to serve as offensive coordinator.
It would be a reunion, as McCoy served as the Broncos' coordinator from 2010-12, working with Kyle Orton, Tim Tebow and Peyton Manning. McCoy also did a strong job with Philip Rivers in San Diego, though he ultimately proved overmatched as a head coach. McCoy would be an excellent hire for an offense with a few nice pieces, but a number of question marks, including which direction it should go following the retirement of coach Gary Kubiak

Oh my gosh, that was vicious! How will Bishop ever get over that?
- kingcong39


I couldn't tell but it looked like bishop tried pulling the old butt end to Kane when he was coming behind the net but still Kane can't do that crap

lol, its annoying how much of a jekyll/hyde team this is with the exception of 15, 90 and i guess 21.

You'd think we were icing a completely different roster. I know you're not going to get 100% from everyone every night but these guys go game to game some looking like all stars one night and AHL bound the next

- Sabresfan-365


Simply put: it's the result of an incomplete roster, as we all see and know.

Ok, I'm listening, but Ghule and Fedun look good, If at deadline we are offered a legit top 4 dman under 26, I'm game. But understand, Kane is exactly what you want in a playoff series. I believe you underestimate his impact. If Murray can get an equal or better than McCabe I would do it.

Totally agree that Kane can't do that, but that may have been the softest 'spear' I've seen in a long time.

There was a lot of garbage going on tonight, on both sides.

If he continues to score like this, I agree.

But do you want an undisciplined guy like that in the playoffs?

If we could only find a way to beat the teams that are better than us, we'd be good.

Kane's value is at its highest right now, id at least explore a trade see what you can turn him into


Not as in a ditch him for picks kind of thing but maybe someone with too many d-man to protect in the expansion draft considers it.

And like I said the injury would linger all year for Jack and he wouldn't be the same this year

Nope it's because my generation is wrong

I hope he can land a good D man. It would be a + for TM

all things considered the guy is producing, he must have some sort of positive value.

Its his defensive counterpart that worries me....jesus they're going to protect him arent they

Nonsense people want to keep him for the playoffs in 2018 so he can walk for free

They're not going to protect him.

And sadly, that Kane deal is only happening at the deadline, or very close to it, if it does happen, or more likely the offseason regarding looking to poach a team with too many quality defenders to protect in the expansion draft.

I wouldn't assume otherwise, is there a segment in society without those?

Not saying you, but given a lot of comments on here, a lot of people think it's more like a video game and less like every other job in the world. I remember I got into it with someone who refused to acknowledge that it's a job.

He isn't as good as his hot streak, he isn't as bad as his cold streak to start.

He's going to end up almost the same as last year, 20 goals 35 points, dumb penalties etc.

Trade him if you can get a D man

He played his usual 31 or 32.

Why, are we expecting him to ever play 82 games?

How confident are you he stays healthy the rest of year?

He's scoring .74 ppg on a team that cant score. That's not bad. And that's not exactly what you said, you said we'd ruin him forever if we brought him back. Then eventually backed off to the "of course he's going to be hobbled" stance.

Seriously? They're paid to provide a service, the very definition of a job.
