  1. I remember back in 82 I think it was Tiger williams skated all the way down the ice and tackled/pummelled billy smith because of the crap they were getting away with. We need some of that intensity
  2. both teams had to play & travel yesterday, plus Montreal had to play the extra OT/ shootout. That gives us a slight, and I do mean slight edge. Am hoping for an inspired effort tonight & lighting up Monte---- whatever his name is-- so that he gets a sunburn from the red lights going off.
  3. I've just joined this thread and am not going to read 50+ pages... question: if you hit Pinto from behind, does he explode?
  4. if you trade Boeser and give his money to Horvat, then it DOES work
  5. since I bombed out badly last game.... 5-3 Canucks Petey gwg
  6. I know, I know video games aren't realistic. Except the one thing I've learned from many, many seasons of GMing. Chemistry amongst the players is the key to success. eg: you would never win many games with too many of the same type of player. ( you'd never win with 6 McDavids and 6 Nurses ) you need balance among the team. I see that we have too many similar players trying to work. The reason that Petey's line with the 2 russians works is that their style complements each other. Boeser is redundant with Kuzmenko succeeding with Ep40. Garland and Motte were virtually the same player. Horvat and Miller work well together. Forward lines seem to need 1 shooter, 1 passer, 1 corner mucker. Defense pairs need 1 stay at home, 1 offensive tendency man. Personalities also come to bear in these lines/pairs. I don't have all the answers, this is just my learning from watching and simulating games.
  7. sorry for my opinion but Marc Crawford is only an assistant in Chicago and I always like his run n gun style of hockey
  8. I was just saying to my son this morning.... trade Brock for mainly high picks and pay Bo his 6.5 and Kuz gets Bo's 5.6
  9. if and when Bieksa's name goes to the ring of honour, can we please have the 'stantion' added to his banner?
  10. I'd throw in Demko for a 1st + to the right team.( never to the Leafs or Oilers tho ) Then run with Martin/Silvos or whoever you get in trade.
  11. if we are going to stink up the joint, then trade whomever possible and collect 3 or 4 1st round picks from those borderline teams ie: Detroit, Wash., Pitts, Nash.
