I would make a call to Montreal and see what it would take to get Domi.

Brad Richardson would be a hell of a grab for 3rd line center.

Boards it doesn't matter, it will be on him anyways.
- Buff36

That’s fine.

I still maintain comparing him to Murray is a false equivalency.

Murray made like 1 good move in 3 years. Trading for ROR. That’s pretty much it. And he had a million assets to start with

I think so, others love ralph

A little known fact about him.

I also remember the team not backing him when that happened

- Michael Pachla


Also didn’t back sobotka when he got low bridged or Eichel when he got cernek’d

Seems like obvious progress to me. Simply looking at goal differential shows they were in more games. I put most of the deficiencies on the roster, not the coach. Ralph put a low scoring team with mediocre goaltending in position to pick up points most nights.

Also, nice to have you back.

Thx. I think he was hell bent on instilling some discipline. Phil just let them rum wild. Like the way he played

18/19 2.7 goals per game
19/20 2.8 goals per game

the minimal gains were kind of lost by the slight regression in special teams IMO

Phil also lost the team. Ralph never did, even after a tough mid-season streak. I see a big difference between the two.

Why be one sided? Defense was clearly better by every measure.
