COACH TOTORO SAY REFEREE CAN BANISH WHISTLE TO LAND OF WIND AND GHOSTS!

Slappy Pappy posted:

Chara would look really good at left wing. Plus, I'm sure Oates would have tons of good advice for Rask. "Tukka, stop playing those angles - just sit deep in your net and react, you know like Lundqvist does. Let the puck hit you. It's not that hard."

Well he does know a lot about goaltending and that seems to be an issue for the Bruins this year. Clearly a really good fit!

I was doing a little reading/watching on reactions to the Julien firing, and Craig Button basically laid it out really well: The Bruins play the right way but don't have the talent to make it work, and that's not Julien's fault.

It took Barry Trotz and Mitch Korn a year to undo the damage to Holtby. I wouldn't wish Oatse.cx on my bitterest rival.

With Konecny dead that means Read returns but we still only have 12 forwards so that brings up.... probably Boyd Gordon or Jordan Weal. :geno:

Weal is a point per game player in the AHL, so I would only want a call up for him if he was going to be in the lineup

If you're calling someone up to be a healthy scratch every game then Boyd Gordon would be fine

Maurice and the media seem to think that even though his numbers are (again) atrocious, he can make that big save at the right time and give them a better shot at winning

Pavelec has let in over 3 goals during all 7 of his starts this season, and has given up at least 1 goal on the first 10 shots he's faced in all those games. I don't understand how anyone with any knowledge about hockey could possibly think he's good. Fire Maurice gently caress

A few things worth noting for commentary:
Justin Schultz surpassed his career best points a few games back.
Sid is back as #1 in the league.
Brent Burns has 10 more goals than the next leading defenseman (holy jesus he's having some season I guess)

Also the Calder is looking tight this year between Laine/Matthews/Werenski and Marner though he'll probably get discounted because Matthews is the poo poo.

I guess it's eight skaters with 10+. Rimer is senile.

Also, I just saw that slash again and wow. That's a penalty seven days a week.

Going the other way, I have to wonder if the league doesn't take a look at the Smith hit on Anderson.

Someone should offer-sheet Gostisbehere this offseason but it'll never happen. For instance, would the Flyers be willing to match a $5M contract for 6 years or would they just take the first and third as compensation?
