  1. Pionk is a beauty. That trade is looking better and better for the Jets. Pionk might actually prove to be better than Trouba - and they took Heinola out of that deal as well.
  2. thanks to the folks who gave me renewed perspective on Ball. I'm liking him now.
  3. Bertuzzi sucked for the most part until age 24. New York didn't worry about him turning into one of those guys - he was a practical throw in in the deal that brought him here. And he was a worse player without the puck than Virtanen is well into his mid 30s. Downright awful. Btw - I love Bertuzzi lol (and always did, but...truth is truth)
  4. Don't worry Kelly - no one in the Peg will panick, because like here, no one there listens to you.
  5. stats keepers watch the game differently than posters in a GDT. They're not just looking at their own/ one team's 'faults.'
  6. Folks may as well quit whining about shot differentials. The young stars are a long way from winning the possession game wadr. And the bottom six plays up a steep grade. They win on the quality of the shots they produce - and their high end ability to finish. And that they have a wealth of. Get used to it. It'll probably be at least a few years before this team is capable of dominating two ways (if they get there) / or looks remotely like the 2011 team.
  7. why tf would we want to listen to Simpson? keep him for the Leafs, where he belongs.
  8. They tend to be early season champions - before teams tighten up defensively and goaltenders dial in - but have faded repeatedly over the Dubas/Spamaplan era. Perhaps even moreso this year..... Not sure they've done much to reverse that (particularly if the Thornton/Spezza types flag at all over this compressed sprint. They fluffed the Simmonds signing endlessly and have continued to.... But 56% ozone starts, -6, 0.9 on ice goals for, 5.0 against per 60. Is this really the player that shored up their bottom six? Not going to assume the trend will continue, but won't be surprised if it does.
  9. this is something that I think needs to change - not entirely - but the ridiculous gap/separation between 'stars' and outstanding two way guys like Motte - that you win with - needs to be reduced (significantly imo). Which is why I have no problem with paying Dorsett, Beagle types.
