I think JR will do his thing to reshape the roster, but I think this may be the year Sullivan gets the ax if the team doesn't improve. I think coaching has been an issue. I think it is one reason that Reaves did not work out, and Cole was healthy scratched.

Roster makeup has been the issue more so than Sully. GMJR has made some really bad signings and trades and has missed out on opportunities to make his team better.

Reeves, Hunwick, Brass, Pearson, JJ, Guddy, Cullen, etc. all poor acquires.

Trading away Sundqvist, Sheary, Hagelin, etc. all poor moves.

There’s been a few decent moves in the Bjugstad, McCann and Pettersson moves but they are outweighed by the massive poop moves by him.

By scoring no goals and never fighting in the 90s? Bland.

I mean he did play 700+ NHL games for like 12 years.

Regular season
709GP 54G 82A 136Pts 203PMs

Playoffs
34GP 4G 8A 12Pts 14PMs

Typical 4th liner of the 90s/00s, like Craig Adams.

Daley and Hainsey were good in the cup runs too.

Oh I was just referring to post cup moves, to me that’s when it seemed like he deviated from the formula that won back to back cups.

I miss the days when Adams got in a fight with Malkin at practice!

54 now equals 0? Damn, this "new math" is confusing to me.

And can you blame him for only ever having on NHL fight after that coward Pilon split him open like a melon?

How could that trade do anything but disappoint?

I wouldn't trade a bag of pucks for that goon.

Played too rough for Sully. Sully played dump and change, not dump and chase.

You have to play dump and change when it takes you 40 seconds to get the puck out and start an attack because you constantly leave the points open and your breakout sucks

Good timing. I just watched the Incredibles 2 and the Dad keeps complaining that math has changed since he was a kid 😂

Luckily, my oldest is just finishing year 2 of preschool. But I've heard of this "common core" method and I am not happy.

Sadly, I will be "that dad" when my little girl starts learning it. You know what I mean.
