  1. Ah yes, playing musical chairs with Olli in the press box. Great development. And Michaelis? We're playoff bound now boys
  2. A home game vs. Toronto that I don't even feel like watching.... never thought I'd see the day
  3. G'dammit Bert..... it's getting to the point where I need to change my prof pic now
  4. He would take a lot of shots, there's no doubt about that... there's obviously no argument that Jake has the body much more suited to play that spot. problem is he won't fight for loose pucks, won't retrieve pucks quick enough, doesn't understand the timing behind screening a goalie, etc...
  5. I feel like he was scratched for a single game a little while before that, and then I remember his next game he looked really good and physical. Not sure if it was the time he was scratched after the goal because he sat a # of games after that.. Totally agree with you about leaning on the vets being a mistake... that's been a storyline nearly every season since '12 now I think..
  6. I remember him having one of his best games of the season after he came back from a healthy scratch at the end of Jan... perhaps the coaching staff thinks that is something he really needs in order to keep taking big steps? Doesn't really make much sense to me but just trying to think of the reasoning behind what everyone seems to clearly think is a dumb move...
  7. Exactly. I picked the most ridiculous example I could think of because, not only could Atlanta have taken Z first overall and it would've been a good pick, but they also passed on him SEVEN times after that
  8. I don't know how to make it any clearer than asking (and this is your own quote), what Green is trying to say with the following point: "Green has stated himself now that Miller is on the PK his total mins is an issue" HIS F^%$ING JOB is to make sure player's minutes aren't an ISSUE. What is good for if he identifies an issue and then doesn't address it???
  9. I'm not getting it I'm not talking about whether the PK is more important than top 6 scoring or not. That's just you champ
  10. He created a problem. Then he used that problem as an excuse in a post-game interview, as if there is nothing he can do about it. Stop being so purposefully obtuse..
  11. You just know it's because of the hit beforehand, making the RETALIATION somewhat "justified". Quite literally the worst possible reason, but that's NHL DOPS for you.
  12. I don't know, I'm not an NHL coach, champ. But a coach taking a high scoring player, putting him on the PK, and then saying "his total mins are an issue" is not a good look. Not sure how you can defend that...
  13. Well, another coach wouldn't have to adapt to that, which is perhaps a benefit all on it's own now that you mentioned it.
  14. Yeah, ok champ, every team losing a player like Motte would end up with their leading scorer from the year prior playing so many PK minutes that it becomes an issue... sorry I didn't realize that.
  15. Someone asked Bo if they were playing to get the coach fired??
  16. Well if you think acquiring Schmidt was a "big trade" then yeah the JT trade is basically up there with the Suban/Weber swap..
  17. He's doing well here, but that alone doesn't make it a big trade. He was averaging <15mins/game the year before we traded for him. Schmidt was a similar trade (cap wise), who we got at a bigger discount cause of the cap crunch. Was that a big trade too?
  18. J.T. is like Gorilla Tape then? I wouldn't say he's had the effect on the team you'd expect from a truly "big trade"
