I saw that like a month ago and I'm still trying to piece it together

Went to the game last night and boy oh boy it was brutal!! The Rangers werent in sync. Terrible passing, give aways. The only bright spot was Georgiov

Only if we can call you the New Jersey Oilers. Though at this rate, we will become the Sabres.

Well the Oilers and Sabres off to hot starts finally. See you in 8 years or so?

Busy night. We didn’t get to Josh Ho sang who continues to skate and train in Toronto while awaiting a trade from the Islanders. Sounds like Lou is working on it.

You know, this makes a ton of sense for the Leafs. If Ho-Sang pans out on any kind of level, it's a cheap part for when they inevitably have to trade Nylander and/or Kapanen.

I’m truly beginning to wonder if Quinn isn’t in over his head. He doesn’t have the NHL level experience to help change this mess. It’s a tough spot, it’s New York, so he’s expected to win some of his games, but what’s troubling is it seems to be snowballing out of control.

I agree with the notion that Kreider contract status is weighing on him, that and simple truth that this is a magnificent skater, with hands of stone. Don’t know what his future is, but it’s not likely to be in NY. The sooner the better for his sake. Sorry, TPC.

It's possible, Dallas Eakins was a much better "prospect" and he wound up over his head in a similar situation. I do think you have to take in account that if you take out the hot start last year, we really was one of the worst 2 or 3 teams in hockey last year and have a bunch of new pieces. If things don't start turning around by Christmas though, yeah I'll have legitimate concerns.

It makes sense for a lot of teams. If Lou gets anything that's like a 3rd round pick, or better, for him then he got a great return given the situation. It's almost certainly a buy-very-low move for whoever trades him so the risk is almost nil. If he turns into an every day player it's a win, a skilled/contributing player would be a home run. And if he sucks and/or is entirely uncoachable....it didn't cost much.

Yes, additionally, I’m not sure he has the status to go upstairs and rattle a few cages. His coaching staff, save Ruff, is equally inexperienced. My God, did you see the Coyotes coaching staff? All good former players.

Kreids is also pissed he is not being used on the PK

For all the articles that are written by stat nerds about how they need to hire coaches that are analytics, I find it amusing that the turnarounds of teams like the Yotes, Canes, NYI, etc have been fueled by old school hockey people.

I don't know, I think Hajek has been better than Fox, and the fact Skjei isn't mentioned as being a problem on defense, but he goes after the low hanging fruit in Staal, come on.

and the Leafs are going after Quick because Andersson will be going on LTIR without getting hurt

Lou will never make a trade ever again
