Haha just watched the replay, he did do his best there . The captain brings the effort

I think Roo did not realize the puck was at their feet. He just wanted to eliminate Skinner and ended up pushing both into net.

I think the best description of this season is that Jan/Feb where like when the Titanic set sail, March would be hitting the iceberg, and April/May will be realizing that there are not enough life boats to save all of the passengers

If they had stuff together they would have anticipated this happening and started talking with other teams. Do you think they just act like fans and make last minute decisions? All of the signs of a total collapse have been evident for weeks. If they don't make drastic changes its because they couldn't find the partner...not because it just dawned on them...at least I hope they're not that management limited

None of this has anything to do with why Voracek and Giroux are not candidates to be dealt at the trade deadline.

AV should have called a timeout after that icing, it was clear to anyone watching G was gassed! What the F*** is AV doing behind the bench?? I thought his coaching this game was awful!

With salary held, they will for sure get a 1st and maybe even a prospect for Giroux next year this time.

However, if they had such foresight and strategic sagacity as a franchise, they would not be in the position they are in now.

With another year on him his value will decline. As unlikely as it seems hope they pull the rabbit out of the hat and make that trade this year.

As a guy that works with Marines each and every day for the last forty years I can say its never easy to understand them, they tend to feel they are indestructible. The guys I get to work with are all hard working, intelligent, and quixotic. You know that 30% of the general population is still worried about the Vax. Note that most service people are young as they tend to retire earlier than people in other professions...Younger people also feel they are going to live forever.

Sure, sure. But they would find it 'uncool' to drink and drive though, I am betting? Because they would be betraying an oath of protection of the country by their reckless disregard?

The similarity of the two situations needs to be drummed in.

Outscored 24-22

What makes that stat worse, is that Buffalo was shut out in 3 of the games played lol.

Who will sign a player for 8.25 million for just 1 year and lose a first in the process? The ones who need him that bad are contenders who don't have salary space. The ones who have are far lower down and they won't do something like that.

Best to wait when the price is high, and the salary is prorated for the remainder of the season.

This may bee an unusual question, but do think any of the players that would like to be traded to a playoff team and get a chance at winning the cup? If so, I can't imagine they would be too vocal even in private.

Disagree. They would get him for 2 runs. Him in a secondary role on a good team would suit him fine. I bet he may even thrive. He can still play. Just that his time is up here.

Yes and that is probably only way possible. No team will take him at full hit.

You argued with me numerous times when I criticized AV for the teams play this season.

Ok, but in this case I agree with you, so what's your problem?

Most of the guys I work with are officers and with age comes wisdom. The brigs have seen plenty of youngsters who foolishly drink and drive. As a guy who got his vaccination as soon as possible, I counsel everyone to do the same...if not for themselves then for the others that getting the country vaccinated will save. My point was that I don't think the 40% is much different if compared to the general population of the same age.

Ah I didn't know the young marines do the drink and drive stuff in any significant proportion. I thought such impulses were drummed out of them.

Yeah, you are right then, sure.
