  1. All but one of those teams have games on hand. Just some positivity for the tank commanders
  2. As a long time member of the Boeser defender club. Tonight felt good. I stand by the fact that even before tonight he hasn't looked bad. He's always in the right spots, making good plays. I can vividly recall numerous instances where Miller or Petey got a goal off his screen. He plays good hockey. Tonight he was finally rewarded with a couple goals. I support the Flow.
  3. If we blow up the team or plan to, sure claim him. Send down Hogs and maybe Pod to get as many minutes as possible. Move Miller, Horvat, Garland etc for as many picks/prospects as we can get. Maybe Jost pans out, maybe he doesn't. If we blow up the squad he's just a free reclamation product we don't care about failing.
  4. He's from some small town near Pittsburgh, but is in Ohio. So to answer your question, kind of? I don't think he has a huge emotional attachment to Ohio because he was born in a small town of like 3000 people in the state. Then again, Gaudreau signed there and he's from Jersey. So maybe Columbus is a secret hotbed for the yankee folk.
  5. He won't win one here so I'd take the 6mil in cap space and freedom of his stupidity. If leaving sets him right I don't care. He's clearly an issue here.
  6. Nah, he's more like that Shaq sleeping meme when it comes to D-men.
  7. We'd have to take cap back. They have a nearly expiring dead cap hit player? Nyquist the only one I can think of off the top of my head. 6 points in 15 games. The perfect target for dead cap coming back, that we can let expire come offseason. I wonder if they're interested in Myers. Their defense looks suspect, but at the same time I may just not know the big names. Peeke is the only standout player at first glance. I don't think they can take the entirety of OEL's contract. Hughes will cost them too much. Myers for a 3rd rounder and Nyquist? Smallish move though that doesn't move the needle much for them. But at the same time it's only a 3rd rounder. I dunno. I am not much of a proposal guy.
  8. He's a UFA, he's 28 by season's end, and I gotta imagine nearly a decade of losing isn't fun. I dunno how much truth there is to him being slighted by Miller signing first, but rumor has it management lowballed him. So, I dunno. None of the metrics look good on him re-signing. Especially with a near goal per game pace. Lol.
  9. I still think this trade is good. Call me stupid. I don't care. What is wrong with Garland? What is wrong with OEL playing 22 minutes a game with scrubs that should be depth or even AHLers? Sure 7mil is a steep price. But I am a big proponent of our scrub defenders not having to play a ton of defense. Y'all can love Hughes all you want I love him too, he's not good defensively. OEL takes those grueling shifts against the top opposing scorers. And he has to do it with trashcans and AHL jobbers. Give me a break before you come at me with the he sucks storyline. The only thing I'll say is, the trade aged poorly cause management can't build a good team for the life of them. That's the only angle I'll concede. I honestly think if we nabbed Marino to play with OEL, he'd be looking really good right now. Marino is filling more or less the same niche as OEL. They 100% would have been a really great two way pair. But instead we're out here actively hoping to see more Burroughs. That's how bad our blueline has been. We actually want Burroughs over some of the other pylons.
  10. How do you know the people that are mad have a vagina? Oh, you meant Rachel. Well this is just a case of crybabies that are mad and won't let go. We see it pretty often, and you don't need to have lady parts to be a target. Hell, a lotta folks here still have Vietnam flashbacks when you reference our fav Lays eating baldman. Who did have an awkward fascination with calling McDavid.
  11. Just here for my routine Myers complaint post. I was a defender of his going into this season. Last year he wasn't nearly this bad. And he was pretty meh last year. This year though. Good grief. I remember hearing that Winnipeg would want him back, albeit this was a while ago. Please, just take him. Future Considerations would actually play better for us than Myers.
  12. I dunno, feel like this team has a really good shot at the Calder.
  13. This is the same as throwing around the race card. He told you to shut the hell up. Is he a douchebag? Yes, of course. If he needs to focus maybe watch the game quietly at home. Does that inherently mean misogyny? No. Him touching her is definitely weird though. He's a creep douchebag, but I dunno if he's misogynistic. At least not in the situation as described.
  14. My passion for this team hasn't gone away. My optimism has deteriorated a lot recently though. New management seems like the old one. Except they seemingly snooze more. It's disheartening seeing draft after draft we don't pick any defensive folks, or folks with size. And when we do get em we let em walk for nothing. Or trade em for older washed prospects. Top 4 RD hit the trade market. We pass on em. Sign a 5mil dollar winger, complain we have no cap to fix the D. Well gee, no sh*t.
  15. They're getting smoked in races to the puck. Opposing team is less likely to try beat you if you staple em to the boards. Myers did jack sh*t and just freely let Tavares move a loose puck to a teammate. Crunch him. Something. Lol. Although that's less of a hitting thing and more of a stop being brain dead thing. But damn. Make em think twice about board battles if you're not play defense.
  16. Only scary thing is, we have no clue how this group is at the draft. But we gotta start building through the draft properly. The only drafted players making a difference for us came in the 1st round. We drafted literally one dude on our blueline through the draft too, a regular anyway. Rathbone is kinda meh right now. For some reason both of our last two management groups don't seem to grasp building from the net out. Not from the net and with one way undersized forwards. Skipping the blueline. Another 1st rounder we used on yet another undersized one way player last draft. Yes flame me. I don't give af that he has high offensive potential. WE NEED RD. Or literally any D that plays defense. The best way to get them, is to draft them. Not take scraps from other teams and hope for some reason they actually succeed here. We really gotta stop using all our picks on undersized forwards with no tenacity and no physicality and that don't care to actually play defense. One of the few D prospects with size we had, we traded. Cause again, our franchise is allergic to drafting and developing anyone with size. I know, I know. Myrenberg was a 5th rounder. But damn dude. Can we keep our prospects and stop trading them for other team's failed older prospects? And draft some players that aren't smurfs that hate physicality and defense?
  17. That's what makes him/her/them old news. It was a long time coming, but I for one am glad that came full circle.
  18. Yes but those two are offset by defensive minded partners. One of which brings phyiscality that our entire blueline combined doesn't bring. Their 3rd pair/depth players were MacDermid (6'5), Ryan Murray (6'2), Jack Johnson (6'1). They have Byram coming along too. Listed at 6'1/6'2. Girard and Makar being the smallest players. But they're offset by Johnson, Manson, and Toews. We don't have any of those guys on our roster. We have OEL and Hughes. Half our blueline is under 6 foot. And of those above 6 foot only one belongs in our top 4. That's OEL. Myers is trash and Schenn should be a 6/7 guy.
  19. Just waive Myers dude. Seriously. He is beyond redemption and every game he looks worse than the last. There is no saving his trade value or increasing it or anything. Waive him and be done with it. Dude is worse than a pylon. He's Santa Claus for the opposing team. What would a buyout look like this offseason for Myers? Any cap savings to be had doing it? Cause I truly believe removing him from the lineup in any fasion is addition by subtraction. I am so sick of this guy.
  20. Weren't we in the running for Zaitsev when he first came over? Feels like forever ago. Guy has fallen off. Besides, with the aquisition of Bear we have no need for a 5/6 RD, especially one with a 4.5mil cap hit. Hell we didn't have a need for that before Bear. We need a top 4 shutdown RD. None of these guys are worth the time of day considering we are riddled with these types of players.
  21. Soooooo, do something? Is this a shot at the coaching staff? The hell kind of idiotic statement is this? You snoozed on moves all summer. Let a bunch of D-men pass. Complain about cap space but used it all for forwards. You're complaining about accountability, sounds like shots at Boudreau or Allvin. Or you just want to tell people you're doing nothing. Either way these statements are dumb.
  22. 31 shots against with 6 minutes left in the 2nd. Geeeeez. We desperately need help on D. And we gotta get Myers outta here. I was a big defender of his, but it's hard when it seems like everyone he plays with struggles. I really don't wanna see another year of that guy on our blueline. Thankfully Stillman was watching from the press box. Keep him outta the lineup.
  23. Yeah that's true, they likely don't want another one way center that is only okay at faceoffs. Regardless, they aren't taking a 27 year old UFA for a franchise D-man.
