Waits for someone to say how GMTM got a “raw deal”

They said that about Tavares too
U might be right...

But i don’t think it would hurt to try Sam there with some talent on his wings instead of freaking Griffith & Pouliot
That was so dumb
- jdfitz77

you need speed on both sides if trying that experiment again


I would have liked to see skunk with either kane or baptiste and gionta for that october experiment

I’m not saying you don’t also have to build around your franchise qb

Just that without him,
you’re chances for getting to the playoffs year in & year out aren’t great
- jdfitz77

imo, and i'll probably never be convinced otherwise, the main reason that the bills didn't make the playoffs for all those years is because the pats dynasty was in the east...there were a ton of other factors, including poor qb play, but that's the main reason

I hear ya...
but if we had Rivers or Ryan or Romo, etc
then those 2 games vs the Pats every year wouldn’t have been automatic losses

Every crowd need a negative Nancy. Otherwise it would be too much fun......

Bailey-Reinhart-Baptiste

Try it for 15games or so
Can’t hurt

Will do for sure.

Paid that 7 days for carnival. with the hotel the night before.

3200 was total trip from buffalo and back for 2.

And last year Jason Chimera had as many 5v5 goals as Tavares

U really think this is a good stat to compare players?

Bc i can give MANY other examples that obviously don’t hold up
- jdfitz77

5 on 5 points? Yes

Leaders

Kucherov
McDavid
Mackinnon
Barzal
Johnny Hockey
Ovechkin

Yeah, I’d say it’s a good indicator

I went to Ireland a few months ago, for a week

$700 per person
included flight,
hotel (which was a 3bdrm condo on a golf course)
and car rental

Check Groupon

My sis just got back from a similar one to Spain
She did Italy a couple years ago too

- jdfitz77

won't argue that...would have made a big difference in getting the team to the playoffs

are you really sending skunk to Rochester?

- sbroads24

But there’s tons of inconsistencies too

Those guys u listed are studs that will be at the top of just about any offensive stat category

If it’s indeed accurate...
please explain the Chimera v Tavares stat i posted

I do this last week too when u brought up 5v5 stats & listed a bunch of guys who had more than Erik Karlsson this year

I don’t think the stat holds up

yet kane's 25 5v5 goals meant little or nothing last season

won't argue that...would have made a big difference in getting the team to the playoffs
- Michael Pachla

So like i said...

We NEED to get a good QB

Whether we trade up, or sign one, or trade for one, or pick one in the 2nd or 3rd & develop him...

Whatever

We just just need to find “the guy”

Too hard to consistently win without one

are you really sending skunk to Rochester?



- Michael Pachla

Hahaha
Well played sir, well played

yet kane's 25 5v5 goals meant little or nothing last season
- Michael Pachla

I said that? Never. I said it was an outlier, and wouldn’t expect that to repeat. Which it isn’t

- Michael Pachla

And wasn’t Pommer in the top10 in 5v5 pts per 60min or something last year?

Obviously he isn’t a top10 forward
Hell...
he might not even be a top10 forward on a good team!

I think u see a lot of 5v5 scoring inconsistencies bc there’s so little 5v5 scoring

yanks are kinda different in that they can spend all they want because of the tv revenue they get in the city...and there's no salary cap either...

that said, yeah, ownership may take time to get it, but he made it sound like money was no object at his initial presser and, come to find out, that it really is
- Michael Pachla

Wait, what? Since when is money an issue?

I said that? Never. I said it was an outlier, and wouldn’t expect that to repeat. Which it isn’t
- sbroads24

of his 173 goals, only 24 have been scored on the powerplay...that's less than 14%

truth be told, he stinks as of late...am interested to see what he does with his new team

i would assume bailey or baptiste would be with the big club

maybe lemieux

compher-eichel-baptiste
gringo-ennis-reinhart
foligno-girgens-armia

that top 9 is not much worse, if any than what we have

and the d is better

and the prospect pool is full

and there is lots and lots of cap space
- homiedclown

So much cap space that they'd likely have trouble reaching the cap floor with that lineup, unless you plan on paying the 4th line a ton.

A couple of interesting things I learned while in the county jail


1. Skunk has 10 points in his last 9 games, same as Jack

2. A 4 year history degree is considered one of the 5 easiest degrees to obtain, while a dual biology/chemistry degree in considered one of the hardest

Welcome back. Keeping it strictly to hockey, of course
