Too bad Jacques Lemaire is 75. He would improve this team’s defensive systems.

lol that's true. Would be boring as f*uck to watch but he'd keep it to 2-3 GPG against.

Did I stutter

May as well bring back Torts if you are gonna bring that clown in.

Ya I think this is simply a lost season. Which is ok because I’m glad to be watching hockey regardless of us sucking

That’s ok because it gives you a legitimate excuse to drink lots and lots of scotch.

I think Aquilini’s too cheap to fire Benning this year, Green with an expiring contract, sure, coach usually goes first anyway.

Can both at the same time.

Yeah it has the potential to be a lost season, it’s a strange year, which I think plays into it.

That was depressing.

I think they have to circle back to the drawing board.

Circle back to the plays and being able to make passes. (and not fall down)



I'm gonna circle back when I feel better.


FUN FACT: a circle can also be a zero

Lots of the good coaches are assistants in the NHL right now.

What do you think of Bylsma....assistant coach in Detroit, but obviously lots of experience & success in Pittsburgh. Not that we have the Crosby, Malkin & Fleury ingredients that helped him there. Muller in Montreal? Doubt he would move...

( I would have loved to see Trotz here )

Ducks have the worst uniforms in the league, Nashville being a close second

Another loss for Flames

Yeah they’re struggling. How are the mighty Nucks doing? And have they played the Sens yet?

Let’s not get into the yellow/gold discussion again.

Leaf's will win 3 game VAN series.

You and Cupcakes need to step up your game, on the Habs blog.

I’ll be honest, if we only beat the leafs and nobody else this season... I’m good.

I was going to ask you , seeing you are probably the most involved with scouting.

In pre Covid years first round picks and second round picks had great value . If you used a hypothetical rating system like the one below How would this years top two rounds rate?

Round 1 (top 15) is ten points
Round 1( bottom 15 )is nine points
Round 2 ( top 15) is eight points
Round 2 (Bottom 15 )seven points.

The reason I ask is I don't think if you traded a guy like Pearson and got a second round pick it would as strong as other years . It would be a bigger wildcard than most years because of drafting issues..

I also don't think teams looking to move salary are are going to get much bang for the buck with a first or second round pick. Example Ottawa won't take Eriksson for a first round pick they would want Lind .
- VANTEL

I honestly don't have a real answer for you on this. Quality of drafts are different every year but I don't think that trades or taking money should be much different than normal years.

For teams, it's about getting players they want on their draft boards.

Anyone know what Kevin Dineen is doing?

I see the armchair GM has calmed down.
