James Tanner: A Streak, an Injury and a Trade

Yet 100 of those "Man-games lost" are Hossa and Bolland.

They sign retired players for cap space and then lament the number of games they have missed.

Comical.

Intellectual honesty goes a long way.

If only they had Strome

Edmonton Oilers in mid 80s had over 30 shorties. FYI...one of the most interesting records out there.

They were scoring 480 goals a season then. We are lucky to get a few teams over the 300 mark these days....

Moving Grabner if he came back would make no sense. You can’t sign free agents to term and then trade them. These guys have families that they move around. If Chayka did this even once it could seriously hurt his chances at drawing free agents moving forward. Now, moving Panik to Deadmonton for Spooner, a 1st, and a prospect makes a ton of sense IMO

Hey Rino! Strome is obviously playing well in CHI but Tocchet was never going to extend his leash. Schmaltz was a really good fit until he got hurt. With all of the big name free agents out there, AZ could look very different in a year. They could try to snag Hayes (depending on who they draft) and could attempt to roll out three 2nd lines with Richardson centering the 4th. Once they get healthy I think they’ll competitive, this year was just an unfortunate disaster

They are certainly not included in that list. If they are, then I don't know it and certainly I'm not trying to be intellectually dishonest.

That's why I didn't bother looking it up, I know all goal scoring records are skewed due to how easy it was to score then. Based on how hard it is to score now though, the Flames total is more impressive.

I agree with you, but the Strome trade was a disaster from day one and the Coyotes media gave them a pass.

The chart is incorrect. Even it's date.

I'm surprised. Communists are inherently dishonest...Make lots of promises that they know never can be kept.

You're the one who called yourself one..not me

You must LOVE the "New Green Dream" .

"There's more than enough to go around, people just need to do a better job sharing"

- Kurt Vonnegut, who as far as I know, never lied either.

There's enough to go around, but those who want it, need to earn it....Not have it given to them.

"As far as I know, he never lied either". Can you really be this stupid?..

446 is the record. They also had 4 or 5 other seasons where they scored over 400. In a 78 game schedule.

Hey Tanner looks like you were finally correct in your analysis of a player...Dylan Strome is excellent and will only get better. 66 point pace over 82 games since going to the Hawks

Perlini is a bum, though.

Moving Grabner if he came back would make no sense. You can’t sign free agents to term and then trade them. These guys have families that they move around.

For the Coyotes it does. Makes zero sense for the Oilers.

Garbage points. OT losses. Shootout losses. Every teams record looks better than it really is.

So since he wrote a book about his experiences as POW, you agree w/ Tanner that therefore he's never lied ?
