    Is the "lack of pushback" about about building a playoff team? Seems like the guys are far more committed to a win than reacting to cheap shots, and you do need to have that mindset to overcome everything to win in the playoffs. Maybe thats the design here.

      They're very focussed on doing what it takes to win. 

       

      I may not like it, but I applaud their discipline.

      it is very frustrating, even my wife last night who's usually quite calm about these things was like "where's the &^@#ing response for Boeser?" :lol:

       

      Maybe they're rope-a-doping the league. 

       

      Whatever it is they are committed to it.

      The common thread is that they've won all the games where their players have taken noticeable cheap shots (Pettersson vs. Florida, Baertschi vs. Vegas, Stecher vs. Chicago, Boeser vs. Colorado).

       

      I think we'd all like to see some more physical push-back, but if they keep responding to that kind of crap with wins, I'll take it.

      @Pears amazingly, not even close.

       

      The 1974-75 Capitals scored 181 goals and had 446 goals scored against them for a team +/- of -265.

      Flames missed Hamilton’s offence. (2goals and 2 assists and a plus four) and really missed Ferland’s aggressiveness.  

      Bad trade.

      i do like calgary's talent pool though

      it just needs to mature a bit

      and they need to add a couple of solid pieces

      (and like all teams shed dead weight)

      I missed that one Funk. Meh, if a guy is going to whine in the media like that good riddance imo. 

    3. HerrDrFunk

      HerrDrFunk

      @Jimmy McGill Yeah, someone in Toronto interviewed Gagner a little while after he was sent down. He claimed Benning didn't speak to him, which was true, but Gagner tried to spin it like Benning didn't have time for him. What actually happened was that Green was the one who told Gagner he was being sent down, Gagner was offered the chance to speak to Benning about it then but Gagner declined. 

    4. JM_

      JM_

      what did he think, that he'd be able to change Jim's mind? maybe he was on the phone with Dubas trying to get him closer to his family, thats something Jim didn't need to do that doesn't benefit us at all.

      Update from Benning confirms they expect OJ to be ready for camp so thats very good news.

      @Baer. the schedule works in our favour too with the Christmas break, we only have 5 games in the next 2 weeks. It'll hurt if we drop them all but hopefully the team can rally a bit around the good news today.

    Should we look at bringing back Fantenberg for next year? We need solid, cheap, players for one more year. Plus there would be a familiar face for Podkolzin.

      I was surprised nobody picked him up tbh, he was solid in his role

      Ilya Mikheyev

      i thought Fanta played really well, but I kind of figure a combination of Juolevi, Edler & Bowey will be the bottom 3 D. If anyone gets moved though, he could be a solid addition.

    4. #Canucks

      #Canucks

      Fantenberg is IMO one of the best 6/7 defenseman in the league. Cheap/Reliable. I would be more than okay with bringing him back.

      Our building is the opposite, grandfathered units can smoke inside.  Personally I'd like to smoke it outside when it's cold, if I smoke it inside you wouldn't know it though.  I got an industrial floor fan blowing against my bathroom so no smoke seeps out and installed a Binford 4000 bathroom fan that would make the Tim the tool man Taylor salivate.  Other units like my neighbor are stinking up the hallway with cigarette smoke, nice one council.

      This would be more meaningful to me if he said this BEFORE Hughes was drafted. Now it is more likely patting yourself on the back a la Burke saying that they had Morgan Reilly ranked #1 overall. 

       

      I have no doubt Hughes is an incredible skater, but would prefer to hear him evaluated by someone that doesn't already have skin in the game.

      I think Brackett is being honest, he doesn't seem like the hyperbole type. But we'll find out soon enough.

      @48MPHSlapShotMaybe it was a roster freeze, not a trade freeze?  It would make sense.  Exchanging draft picks wouldn't impact the expansion draft at all as that only involves players.
