  1. The joke's on Kevin Bieksa from his comment a couple weeks back. This team has an identity alright.
  2. Practice some social distancing. Change the channel, and mail your remote across the country.
  3. When he swims he floats upside down in the shallow end like a weeble.
  4. Here's the problem with refs: Error is cumulative. It always has been, and it always will be. When they added the 2nd ref, it not only exacerbated the problem of human error, it added on the force multiplier of a 2nd overpaid EGO into the mix. How often do you see the ref who is 200 feet away make a bad call? This arises from the innate desire to one up his competitor, the other ref, and it has broken the game. A 2nd ref is not a bad idea, but they need to be moved off the ice, with the power of veto. Getting the call right needs to 100% be the focus of the league. 50%+ of all trips, slashes, interference, is actually diving. This should be the focus of the league, imo. Police these soft falls (not soft calls), and make your bloody officials accountable by REVIEWS on their calls in real time, if you want this league to rise above competitive badminton in the US for ratings. EDIT - I eagerly await the future when computers can ref the game properly.
  5. Zack beat up Ottawa's goon pretty convincingly tonight, and the crazy part is, that's not even the best part of his game.
  6. See above, his not playing has nothing to do with him, or his Ma. It's 100% business. And don't look for anyone in the franchise saying this for obvious reasons, but it's the truth. They are protecting an up and coming asset, and he still gets to collect his full big league salary all season. The only people who are making anything of this are liars in the media, and those gullible enough to bite.
  7. Just so you know, Zack doesn't need to be protected if he plays less than 17 more games on the season. This is why he isn't playing. IMO, he's the likeliest candidate to be taken in the expansion draft from us. He's a skilled big player with an edge. Not exactly a common commodity these days.
  8. Don't expect Zack to get more than 17 more games this season, for if he does, he'll be snapped up by Seattle. He's a power forward with hands, a rare commodity these days, and so he'll be benched rather than officially protected. I'd prefer he's beating up the Kraken, and not the other way around come this time next year.
  9. It makes no sense to me that we focus on faceoff wins, when our defensive system is o quite literally TO GIVE THE OTHER TEAM THE PUCK when they don't have a safe play. It boggles the mind to see statistics worm their way out onto the ice as they pretend to be hockey. It's disgusting in fact.
