treasure trove of assests

e-rod had an interesting quote after the game Wed

Evan Rodrigues:

On the team effort: "I think we had all 20 guys pulling in the right direction. We didn't have anyone cheating on the wrong side of the puck. Everyone was staying on the D side of the puck, making sure the puck got out first and we stuck with our gameplan.

Sticking with the plan: "As the game wore on, we didn't try cheating for offense. We didn't have guys blowing the zone or anything. We all stuck to the defensive side of the puck. When you do that, you wear teams down and you finally get rewarded."




makes me wonder if they were refusing to play the system early in the season

Glad someone else picked up on that. Also, was there a little bit of Evander Kane shade being cast?

Edit: Late as per usual

Florida for Pysyk straight up....Analysts will call it highway robbery for Buffalo!


Nelson AND Pysyk

Can any GM come up with a better pairing?

The analytics guys will see +100000000000 corsi, +10000000000000000000 RelCor, they'll be the greatest players in the history of the sport, according to some graph I'm about to make.

this is a refreshingly accurate post

I don't know if you noticed, but Garth still played it off as Buffalo getting "three premium assets"

And just for a good laugh, I went back to his blog about drafting Zach Kickassian. What a doozie.

Not sure you can really pull that out of there. It's well known that many players, all the players at some point, were not on the same page as where they should have been. Is Kane guilty at times? Sure. So were most of the rest of the guys.

i was so annoyed by that pick.. you don't draft based upon knee jerk reactions. he shouldn't have been a 1st round pick let alone a top 10

are they the new sekera/weber combo that dominated the end of one season and gave us all hope to just turn out to be the sekera and weber we all now love

He was ranked 10th best NA prospect. 19th on ISS.

We didn't need Kreider, OEL or Ellis.

"hmm, they're better than we thought!"

he was ranked high but everyone said picking him wasnt a sure bet.. it was just a knee jerk reaction to the lucic miller encounter.

If Chicago starts selling off their prospects from Rockford we'd never lose control of the puck

Since Jack was out:

5-4-1

With Jack:

15-29-10

Without Kane:

2-1

With Kane:

18-32-11

OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE

Serious question, if Jack was actually a locker room issue and refuses to adhere to the gameplan, what can you really do?

Top 10 ISS for Feb

1. Dahlin, Rasmus, LD
2. Svechnikov, Andrei, RW/C
3. Tkachuk, Brady, C
4. Zadina, Filip, RW
5. Boqvist, Adam, LD
6. Bouchard, Evan, RD
7. Wahlstrom, Oliver, C
8. Hughes, Quinn, LD
9. Veleno, Joseph, C
10. Dobson, Noah, RD

Heard Wahlstrom is slowly moving up.

If that's a real thing? And there's zero indication that it is..

You trade him for Stamkos +
