The time to pull Andy was 2:12 with an O zone draw.

Time to pull the goalie.

I’ve never seen a team pull the goalie and then instantly get scored on as much as this team does.

They absolutely have no idea when to do it. They had a (frank)ing offense zone draw with 2:12 left. It doesn't get any more cut and dry. (frank)ing stupid.

They aren't going to pull the goalie without possession. Especially when they suck at draws

He’s not wrong 31 out of 32 teams pull the goalie there

I know this is obvious but man they’re really missing Dahlin.

The problem we're trying to solve is that there are rich teams and there are poor teams. Then there's fifty feet of crap, and then there's us. It's an unfair game. And now we've been gutted. We're like organ donors for the rich. Boston's taken our kidneys, Yankees have taken our heart. And you guys just sit around talking the same old "good body" nonsense like we're selling jeans. Like we're looking for Fabio. We've got to think differently. We are the last dog at the bowl. You see what happens to the runt of the litter? He dies.

Billy Beane: Art, you got a minute?

Art Howe: Yeah. Take a seat.

Billy Beane: You can't start Peña at first tonight. You'll have to start Hatteberg.

Art Howe: Yeah, I don't want to go fifteen rounds, Billy. The lineup card is mine, and that's all.

Billy Beane: That lineup card is definitely yours. I'm just saying you can't start Peña at first.

Art Howe: Well, I am starting him at first.

Billy Beane: I don't think so. He plays for Detroit now.

Art Howe: You *traded* Peña?

Billy Beane: Yeah. And Menechino, Hiljus, Tam are all being sent down.

Art Howe: You are outside your mind.

Billy Beane: Yeah. Cuckoo.

Jeremy Giambi: [knocking on door] You wanted to see me?

Billy Beane: Yeah, Jeremy, grab a seat.

[Jeremy sits down]

Billy Beane: Jeremy, you've been traded to the Phillies. This is Ed Wade's number. He's a good guy, he's the GM. He's expecting your call. Buddy will help you with the plane flight. You're a good ballplayer, Jeremy, and we wish you the best.

[Jeremy sighs and exits]

Billy Beane: Jeremy's gone, too.

They got what they deserved - played 1 good period of hockey and had their goalie thoroughly outplayed by Columbus's backup. Johnson wasn't good enough - down on his knees for no reason on goals 2 and 4 and simply has to save goal 3.

Joker on the ice with the goalie? That makes a lot of sense.

the young guys were good (Quinn/Peterka), Cozens was mia, Oloffson has been mia for a month

Donnie goes full Nathaniel Hackett mode when it comes to pulling the goalie.

Completely clueless.

I don’t know who’s in game coaching decisions is worse at times McD or Granato.

Thompson line had two offensive zone draws off of icing calls and he waits until after both to pull his goalie and the top line never saw the ice again either.

If you’re going to shoot your shot there go all in.

Once again they play one period of real hockey and get poop on by a nobody because of soft defense. But hey the vibes are great and the players really enjoy each other. Well I'm really (frank)ing happy losing to the worst team in the nhl. Don't do anything kevin just piss away another year because we so badly need 20 prospects who do the exat same thing.

How much more horrifying does it look without Dahlin and Tuch?

So here’s something that’s been bugging me

Why did Adams have to go to Florida to see the team and how they interacted?

Like. You can do that everyday at work.

I just really am trying to wrap my head around that one still.

Oloffson is the softest player in the league. Scared of contact skates away from scrums. Plays with zero intensity and is a liability defensively. But his vibes are strong and he can suck a bowling ball through a garden hose.

And he carried us through January and he allows everyone to have a scape goat without looking at our awful 3 - 6 defensmen. Multifaceted.
