even the dumpster fire teams beat us

I know we suck, but I was totally impressed with the game that the Sens played last night. Always skating and attacking, ALL players where finishing their check.

You don't need to be the most talented team if you play the game the right way.

I remember his solution in the lockout year was to count on Freakarenko and then when that failed, he brought Jochen back from Germany

Come to think of it, that's pretty similar to this year. Replace Freakorenko with Casey and Jochen with Lazar

Hecht was a hell of a hockey player.

This team could use 2 of them.

Skinner is known throughout his career to have a good season followed by a bad season.

I was half expecting this honestly.

- dadeadhead

More like OK season followed by bad followed by kinda good followed by bad followed by bad followed by his 40
Goal season (typical first year new team/last year on contract) followed by his worst season ever

He’s never had back to back 30 goal seasons.

If we could take the top 4 from this team and supplement with Hects and others form the past 15 years we would be staying. Even if we could supplement with the players we traded the last 5 years we would be styling

Again he hasn’t been a consistent goal scorer from year to year.

There a pattern which means there’s a trend. He’s never had back to back 30 goal seasons.

Not sure why anyone thought it’d be any different?

Sure the coach has something to do with it but at some point you have to blame the player.

- dadeadhead



Good post

Reasonable to expect 30ish goals this season. 28 anyways

Was only a minus player twice in his career.

Only had more than 50 pims once

When healthy was a 50ish point player.

Always gave 110%

He played the game the right way.

Poor mans Craig Ramsay.

To be fair, we have outsourced IT to India and their facility is top notch. You might be confused with the son's bedroom of that Nigerian prince who just needs you to cash a check.
- 51_Killer


Sure, many have.

When you call for IT support, is the voice at the other end named Sandy or James?

He was as steady as they come back there and did it for 18 yrs with the same franchise.

In a sport where players a commodities, he stayed with one franchise.

I have zero issues with it.

Also great PR from a poopty owner to the fans.

Kiper on Josh Allen:

"The players love him. They’ll go through a wall for this guy... I’ve never seen a team go to bat for a quarterback as much as these guys have... He improved in every category dramatically from his rookie year.”

Why would a team 2 points out and 2 games in hand sell?
