Shotgun Jake gettin' that doghouse Jake treatment. Free Jake, even if it's a trade. Can't wait to trade him for a 2nd rounder cause Greener has a hard on for bottom 6ers that do nothing but defense.

Nice Petey moment ruined by Virtanen bashing. Now I feel bad and I am sad.

It was my understanding Dhaliwal was called out for "fake news" recently. And he was apart of that stupid Boeser rumor thing too right? At this point his word means less than Eklund's in my books. Don Taylor, as much as I like him, is another radio personality. I figured we'd learned our lesson and would take what radio folks say with a silo of salt. I will say Jake needs to take hockey more seriously, but he scored 18 goals and averaged a point every other game in a 3rd line role. We aren't exactly swimming in bottom 6 scoring talent. Unless you want all your hopes and dreams laying on Gaudette to perform that bottom 6 scoring role solo.

Yeah, F that guy for having a life outside hockey.

No, Luke Hughes. Try and keep up please.

Ferland is a LWer and Jake is a RWer. Not sure why they can't co-exist on the team. From the sounds of it MacEwen is the only real threat to Virtanen's spot in the lineup. Him and Eriksson I guess. Mr Little Things is all but guaranteed a spot in the lineup though. With Boeser and Toffoli that leaves Virtanen and Mac battling for that final spot. Miller, Pearson, Ferland, Roussel and Motte battling for the LW. Unless you are suggesting neither Mac or Virtanen make the starting roster. Which I'd be very mad if neither of them crack the final roster.

[Signing] Ducks re-sign Sonny Milano

Sounds about right to me. -
That lime green jersey is gorgeous. In that "my eyes burn" kinda way.

(Proposal) Blockbuster trade proposal
JeremyCuddles replied to Gator's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Not sure why NJ touches this trade with a 100 foot pole. Marky is 30+ years old and they have a young goalie. If anything they want defense. Which means getting Jack is gonna cost us Quinn at least. Lol. -
Why not play them together? Lol. One is a LW and the other is a RW.
-
Is this necessary? Borders on trolling at this point. Disliking Jake and the 2011 riot aren't remotely comparable. Those people in 2011 were not true fans. I may not like some people's opinions of Jake but I wouldn't come close to comparing them to 2011 rioters. Just seems like you're trying to upset people and re-direct them away from the actual topic at hand.

I’d say it’s more a media problem than it is where threads go on CDC problem. You vastly overestimate how much eyes are on us. In regards to the players. I hated that rumour before it even got debunked. But fans overreacting is not gonna change by moving the rumours thread. Media won’t be less stupid/insensitive by that change either. If anything your outrage should be pointed at Twitter and media heads. Not CDC and where our threads are placed.

Lowkey, rumors could go in the armchair gm section and it'd be fine. Lol. With that said it's fine the way it is. I think fans just need to relax when radio guys throw crap out there. Too often fans here overreact to any and every story that gets out there. Instead of blaming the system maybe we should just relax and take things with a grain of salt?

I just watched a clip from the Sportsnet youtube, and all he said was "That's a small body gentleman, that's a small body". I don't see that as belittling, I see that as an observation. Lol. Did you see Hughes at the draft? He looked very small. There was a little girl on stage that looked almost as big as him. I love the guy, but saying he was small wasn't a slight. It was just a fact. He's gotten bigger since then. So it doesn't matter in the long run that he was really small at the draft, but it was something to take note of. Most 18 year olds need to work on getting bigger, that was probably the line of thinking Burkie was going on. I dunno, but again. I don't wanna start crying over his statement that Quinn was small, cause that was something I too noticed when I was looking at Hughes pre-draft.
-
Glorious beard, here's hoping he can turn his game around. Had high hopes for him when we signed him. So far he has been pretty underwhelming. I still believe. Happy birthday, best of luck in the play-ins.

Misunderstood the post

I like to think I have the biggest crush on Jake

Logo looks like that stylized S teenagers draw to look “urban” and cool. My sisters used to draw it all over their binders and stuff.

Rank the Targets (Discussion/Proposals)
JeremyCuddles replied to J.I.A.H.N's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Tryamkin has no value. Pretty sure he’s a UFA next summer and he is guaranteed to not play next season given he got a 1 year extension in the KHL. Re-sign Tanny at 3.5-4mil per. No higher. Stech, keep him if he agrees to a deal in the 1.5-2mil range. His RFA rights are worthless since nobody wants to qualify him at that price. We don’t even want to qualify him at that price. So he’s almost certainly going to be a UFA. -
Should be quarantine'd for a couple weeks right? Since he was in the US before coming here. I dunno the rules tbh. Lol.

Yes, I did sorta mention Roussel's fewer games played. But you're right I should really have looked at last season's numbers specifically since he played here. With those numbers he is definitely quite effective defensively. Arguably more so than Virtanen. Blocks a decent amount, decent takeaway numbers. Not so good giveaways. Overall I'd say when healthy he is more effective than I may have made him sound. I tried to include the fact he was injured.
-
Probably not, I'd have to get an idea of what our roster is gonna be going into the draft. But I think our best exposed players will be middle 6 forwards and Demko/Marky. Giving em a starting goalie would suck. But we don't have much else to lose. Not as good a position as the Vegas expansion but we are still in a good position. We'll lose a decent player but I don't think it'll be a player that'll haunt us. Unless we expose Virtanen, they take him, and he puts all the pieces together. As he is now he'd be annoying to play against but if he fills out his potential on another team that's gonna be rough.

You talk about Jake's zone starts like he is getting 60+ percent ozone starts. His has 53% ozone starts, that is not a "high percentage of his shifts". That's barely over half. Lol. That doesn't sound like a guy being protected because of his dzone deficiencies. And again, his corsi for is ever so slightly lower than Bo's. 49% is very good but 48% means defensive liability? Lol. That's with Jake playing with a defensive liability and an injured agitator. He doesn't have more dzone starts because we have Pearson, Horvat, Motte, Beagle, Eriksson and Sutter all manning those roles already. Not because Jake is trash at defense. We have guys designed specifically for dzone patrol already. His line is bad in the dzone as well. Corsi for is just as much a line stat as +/- is. Gaudette has a non existent forecheck and is doo doo on defense. Roussel may still be slowed by his injury cause he was barely visible in any games I watched. Even with all that, he managed to have comparable corsi for as some of our more beloved players. It was even better than Pearson's corsi for. Split up his season numbers? In what way. I looked at his games played and he scored regularly. His ice time went up as the season went along. Even after the part where he was in the top 6 his TOI still stayed steady once we got healthy and he moved to the 3rd line. He just stopped playing with Bo. Yes, he had stinker games throughout the season. Every player does. Jake's bad games are just held against him more than other players. He plays in the bottom 6 but his ice time is the highest of all the bottom 6 players from what I seen. So does the coach distrust 5 other players more than Jake? Prior to playing with Gaudette Jake's ozone starts were in the 45% range. His deployment I'd say is more due to the fact he has a center that can't win draws and is piss poor at retrieving the puck. I really have to preface this. I am not saying he is a shutdown player. Anyone that says he is, is just as lost as you. He is a good if not decent defender that can pot 15-20 goals. That's bordering on elite level 3rd line play. Just his presence alone disrupts the opposition.He may not get credit for that in the stat box but being on the ice with his speed and physicality forces the opposing team to play faster than they like. Who wants to get crushed? That presence alone helps his team's defense.

With Covid all I have is time baby. Lol. I could have done better though. Some numbers I omitted just to keep from an overload of numbers. I didn't outright state what their on ice save percentages were for instance. My post was getting to short story territory so I tried to keep it condensed. Also I am still learning about analytics so I am sure there are some underlying stats that make Jake sound like total garbage. With all that said I am a bit old school. I like the eye test but that's easily thrown to the side with "but, that's like, your opinion man" responses.
