Difference between watching a game in the 80s and now- fewer hits, fewer goals, fewer rushes, fewer fights, less emotion, higher prices, more commercials.

Bang on. My earliest experience with hockey is the late 80's. Therefore, the hockey you describe is only hockey that I've heard about. I think your point applies up until the 94-95 lockout?

petmar74 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 So are we still talking about his mask? Just looks like he's afraid to get out and cover his angles with his ears exposed. Wait wrong thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo053 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Firing Willie isn't going to do anything, not like this team will do any better with a different coach. Who is even out there for coaches right now? Fire Benning and Linden, those 2 are clueless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHL AAV of up to $1.74M and guaranteed cap hit of $895K vs. AHL payday of $162,500...where do you think he'd rather be? I'm guessing the kid would prefer to sit in the press box and make the NHL cash rather than working for close to pro hockey's minimum wage (I know...that's bit of an exaggeration since there are guys in the ECHL and CHL making $600 per week) improving and honing his craft in the minors. Just a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put Gary Bromley's pads on these goalies...problem solved. Systems would have to adjust to protect/ take advantage of vulnerable keepers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honky Cat Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 3 minutes ago, Riviera82 said: I'm beginning to think that Markstrom might not actually be that good. Like what he is now is as good as it's going to get, which overall is probably a bit below average, a good enough backup, but not starter material. I mean the guy has started 80 games in his NHL career and doesn't have 1 single shutout. Not trying to crap on Marky but that's hard to do in this day and age. One good thing about Marky is that when he does have a poor game,he rebounds quickly with a good one..He usually lets in a softie a game,but then shuts the door for the rest of the game....Poor game tonight,but a bright spot on a mediocre team.

SergioMomesso Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 If you are at home outplaying the guests by a mile half way through the game and don't bury one or two of your 15 decent scoring chances. You know a good team will make you pay for that. And the Range sure did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is even out there for coaches right now? Fire Benning and Linden, those 2 are clueless. It'll make me happy. I'm pretty sure Benning didn't land Eriksson to be on the 3rd line and not see PP time with the Sedin's. If Willie loses to the Yotes tomorrow he'll have 6-11-1 record. With a better team than he had in 2014. How that isn't grounds for a change is beyond me. If this team goes 6-12-1 there's no hope of a playoff spot under this coach, barring a major trade or two.

Both are -9 so far this year. Sbisa is +/-0! Good idea but that leaves Sbisa-Gudbranson as a pair... not sure how I feel about Sbisa-Gud pairing; guess it's worth a try? In my opinion, Hutton gained too much weight too fast and he has lost a lot of his mobility, which is probably the reason why Hutton-Gud pairing isn't working as great as we were expecting.
