I'm at my wits end with this lovely soulless no-identity-having team that takes talented players and completely stifles their abilities by pairing them with inept motherfuckers like Ott and Flynn.

On top of THAT, this team is due to regress: our playmakers are getting older and there's no true phenom coming up from juniors.

gently caress it, fire everyone. Burn it down and scatter the ashes, it's time to rebuild.

HOLY HELL I AM SO FUCKIN' DONE WITH THE MONTREAL CANADIENS.

Dear Sharks,

I really wish you won the cup last year. I really do because a bunch of your guys deserve one and you're a good team. So there's that. But I have to point something out to you. "Sharks" is one syllable. That means the chant should be "Go Sharks go!". Please stop chanting "Let's go Shar-arks" because it just makes you look bad.

This sucks, I've been waiting for San Jose @ Vegas for a long time so I can finally go to a game and cheer them. I've spent nine years, starting with the series that ended in an amazing 4OT loss to Dallas, watching a handful of guys try to win the cup for seemingly forever. The goalies have changed several times, the broadcasters have changed, and now apparently the core is going to change.

Just for context: My level of Sharks/NHL fandom goes no further than "I watch these games on TV and try to remember who all of the players on my team are". I've never been to a game (lived too far away), and I don't really post in these NHL threads because I'm not hockey-smart at all, I just like watching a pack of men scramble like mad over a puck. And I hate to be the sort of shithead who declares he's done with a team after one too many losses, but drat the massive changes that the hot takes say are coming.

Not only did they poo poo themselves in the first round, but they did so in the most painfully boring way. The only player worth watching was Radulov.

PK didn't get his ultimate revenge by beating the Habs in the SCF, but he got his revenge all the same by outlasting his old team.

I mean, let's imagine you manage to trade Price for a 40 goal scorer. You have 1 extra GF every other game, except you also have .75 to 1 extra GA because your new starter isn't as good as Price. Now what?

for the 2016-17 season:

carey price's GAA: 2.23
league average GAA: 2.59

you'd have to replace carey price with a truly terrible goalie and/or have the habs abandon all semblance of team defense to account for that great of an increase in goals against

Adding a 40 goal scorer doesn't add 40 goals to your team total, it adds whatever the difference is between them and the top line player they're replacing. It's the whole limited ice time -> diminishing returns thing.

We've already make PK's life better by trading him, why not?

I'm kidding please don't trade Carey. Even though it would be better for him. :(

And even Brossoint is doing drat good when there's a team in front of him.

Talbot's problem is that if he gets scored on by a garbage goal, he completely collapses and lets everything in.

Ben Bishop is a UFA. Montreal should sign him and carry on the proud tradition of LA trading away a good player for someone on an expiring contract who then leaves immediately for a better team. Then trade Price for some functional defense.
