Schlesische posted:The team is not as bad as it's made out to be. Galchenyuk and Danault look like decent top 6 centers, Gallagher, Radulov and Pachioretty are definitely top-6 wingers. The third line is pretty good for a third line, even if Shaw does like taking poorly timed penalties. The fourth line is massively underrated (even if it is very streaky). The individual D-men are good although their pairings leave a lot to be desired (especially Weber-Emelin, my god that pylon fest is sickening). I was being a bit hyperbolic by calling it poo poo but compared to the rest of the playoff teams their depth is nothing special. It's enough to win with given they have the best goalie in the world. Also not sure why anyone would mock Therrien for failing in 08. That Red Wings team was arguably the best Cup winning team of the post 05-06 era. I'd put that team against any Cup winning team since then and favor them. Therrien also had Maf playing at a 930 save percentage that year (he would have won the Conn Smythe, lol) which is a loving miracle. He's got some big flaws as a coach but I don't think he's anywhere near as bad as people think.

I mean, people saying HAS is complaining about Therrien too much aren't entirely wrong. There are worse coaches in the NHL. But they're almost universally coaching significantly worse teams. The only real competition is Hakstol and that's a pretty tight race. But the difference is Therrien has been in for years and while he's not as bad as he was two years ago he's still bad and clearly doesn't get the players he has.

The difference between a really good coach and a really bad coach is marginal, there are no miracle workers and you can win a Cup with Randy Carlyle, I saw it happen.

Coach talk, eh? Hitchcock in Columbus was the victim of ownership being too drat stupid to fire Howson instead, but I liked him. I have no good lasting impression of Arniel and he should've been fired 20 games before he was. I liked Richards save for his chronic inability to get a decent start to the season, with achieving the literal worst possible start to the season scenario being his undoing. Torts rules.

I like Babcock I just don't understand his love of the current D corp. Corrado isn't great but I didn't think they gave him a fair look before waiving him. Marchenko isn't playing tonight because...??? But otherwise I'm pretty happy with Babcock. Team is fun to watch and even the year when they were broken pieces held together with duct tape they still competed really hard.

Willie Desjardins is not the worst coach Vancouver has ever had but that's because Vancouver has had Marc Crawford, Mike Keenan and John Tortorella.

Remember when the Philadelphia Flyers, a team with guys like Jake Voracek, Sean Couturier, Claude Giroux, and Wayne Simmonds could actually manage more than one loving goal a game? Yeah those were fun times.

the flyers probably shouldn't be wanting to make the playoffs this season anyway because they're a guaranteed first round exit team but if they miss they at least get a chance at winning the lottery for a top 3 pick

nice to see the Bruins win, not reading into it too much but still a solid win against a good team. Also, I found out David Pastrnak has maybe the best athlete twitter picture, in my opinion.

It's one of those "nice if it happens, but..." things. They're still shedding bad contracts and bringing up more young guns.

By the way, this happened before the Caps game tonight and owned. https://www.nhl.com/news/fatima-al-ali-drops-ceremonial-puck-as-part-of-hockey-is-for-everyone-month/c-286604272?tid=285562886 The announcer took a not so veiled shot at Trump which also owned.  quote:It all began when Al Ali met Peter Bondra during a youth hockey clinic the Capitals alumnus was helping to run in Abu Dhabi in November. Bondra was impressed by Al Ali's puck-handling skills and posted a video on Twitter of her whipping the puck around lacrosse-style on her stick blade that went viral.
