Nobody is suggesting that Dahlin isn’t struggling, but when you have ECHL goaltending every mistake does get magnified that much more.

Dahlin came into tonight 6th in puck possession in the entire league, is on pace for 50 points, but still has a ways to go defensively

- Pegullaville



Why not move Dahlin to a forward position like they did Housley for a bit of a time in the 1980s. If he can score points they have nothing else left to lose.

At this point they have to trade him. And it won’t be for a lot.

He will never reach his full potential here.

Ok. That one wasn’t fun…. We knew it was gonna be a rough stretch.

Don’t see any help on the horizon at this point. Goalies are barely Ahl level. Defense brain farts on the regular.

Still not sold on the right people being in place to fix this mess. I guess we will wait and see what the analytic gurus can do.

Well analytics “gurus” somehow got us malcom subban.

I don’t think the analytics gurus are going to work like we think.

IMO they are going to try and moneyball this.

I think we're going off the deep end here.

We all knew what this season was. I still think they have plenty of talent coming.

Unless we can guarantee we are getting an elite Center back in the deal I can’t trade Dahlin prior to the age of 24.

Yes “exciting losses” “not Ralph Krueger” was the mantra from a lot of people.

I hope you’re right.

So far every bit of talent they have had come through has fallen well short of expectations.

I’m guessing that wasn’t the gurus. That was the tank commander (mr pegs? Mrs President pegs? Adams)?

release the gurus!

Wow, Adams has done it again. Gets a goalie that cannot even complete a game without getting injured and allowing more goals than any other goalie in the league. Who in the heck is going to play hard and try to score goals when the goalie is absolute garbage. They played harder when they had Anderson in the net, however, it looks like he will retire. The team cannot continue to lose every game by four goals for the remainder of the season. I know they are tanking, but really? Something has to be done. This is a repeat of Krueger's performance of last year. WTF!!!

Sure, and it took Washington and Tampa forever too.

Yet they always had a better chance with the elite talent than all of the fair weather teams that make the playoffs or just miss the playoffs every year just to get their teeth kicked in

- Pegullaville

It's honestly maddening how often you contradict your own arguments on here...

So in the NHL, elite talent gives you a better chance to win, but in the NFL, an elite QB doesn't matter, unless he's having an elite season, and even then, it's not about having elite players, it's about running and stopping the run.

Just dreadful stuff, dude.

Don't look now but NYI coming for our consecutive losses record with 10 in a row after tonight.

Trotz will absolutely be fired before the New Year at this rate.

Because I gotta say, the dude's ethnicity would have nothing to do with anything and the fact you had to point it out makes me wonder if there's a bustle in your hedge-grow?

We got a goalie and Dahlin is still lost, move along nothing to see here. You can buy a shooter tooter on eBay for 100 bucks.

Yeah right the 100 dollar shooter tutor is made of canvas, Terry can't afford that crap. You can have the FRANKLIN "Shooting Buddy" for 50 and he will even throw in a hot chocolate for the first player to shoot the seven hole that we had to cut into the plastic tarp that was already ripped there out of the package
