The Caps got caved in during the first period, sure, but they were by far the better team in 2nd and especially the 3rd. I was pretty impressed. Bob was the only thing that stopped them from winning that one.

That blue uniform the habs were wearing looks cool on TV. Maybe not for that specific team because the canadiens are meant to be red. But in general, it's a neat hockey kit.

Clearly, what Columbus needs to do to win games is sacrifice 2-3 players a game to IR. It was Blankenburg, Werenski, and Gudbranson two games ago. Tonight, Elvis, Bean, and Peeke. Looking forward to cheering on the Kalamazoo K-Wings in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

It also turns out--and I cannot believe I am writing this--that Mike Matheson's skating and aggression, bless his clueless heart, might have been a crucial element to the beating of bad teams that is required to reach the playoffs. I don't think Matheson is good and never will, but it probably should have been foreseen that trading 25- and 27-year-old defensemen for 32- and 35-year old defensemen when they already had the oldest team in the league would be a disaster. Especially on special teams. Eric the Mauve fucked around with this message at 04:25 on Nov 16, 2022 |

I know a lot of things can happen in ~60 games but they put themselves so far behind teams like CAR, NJ, and NYI and you have to figure NYR and probably PIT to some degree are going to improve. Try to snag a lottery pick this year and try to reload for the final few years of Ovie.

The Canucks have four guys on pace for 40 or more goals (Horvat is on pace for 68!) with the 6th best powerplay and yet sit 29th overall in the league because they are averaging 4.06 GAA and a 67% PK lol.

Going from each pairing having 1 player that could skate the puck and create space for themselves/the team to 0 seems less than ideal with a coach that loves for his defensemen to be incredibly involved in transition and maintain offensive zone pressure seems less than ideal. I will also, forever and always, moan and bitch and point out that the cap usage has not been as efficient as needed. Paying Rutta 3.2 per to basically provide the same ice time and outcomes as Ruhwedel did last year for 1/2 the price is lol. HE WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED makes 3.2 to be scratched and seemingly incapable of playing hockey at a NHL level. It seems wild that the Pens have 4 players producing at or above PPG right now and yet they're so bad. Hell even Carter has 8 points in 13 games. The prevention side though......WOOOOOF.

The Pens look their age that's for sure. I would advocate for sacking Sullivan based on how they look just to see if this team has any other kind of life in it, but they just extended Sully so that is not going to happen. I think he's a great coach but when a team is struggling this badly there just aren't many other cards to play. But since they just extended him they will almost certainly ride this out. I don't think there's a 20-3-4 streak in them this year to make up for a bad start like they did last year. When you look at the Metro, they likely have to be better than at least one of the Isles/Rangers/Canes/Devils to make the playoffs, and I do not think they are unless they dramatically improve over the rest of the season.

Mind_Taker posted:lol I think the Caps are constitutionally incapable of standing down. Like they have never really done anything other than try and win since Ovi joined the team. They have so many contracts coming off the books after this season that they really could do a minor tear-down at the trade deadline and shoot for a high draft pick. But just lol at a Lavy team ever, for example, punting on Lars Eller and Marcus Johansson so they could actually give McMichael ice time.

Sullivan isn't just the best coach the Penguins have had since Scotty Bowman, he's the only good coach the Penguins have had since Scotty Bowman. I think there will likely be a mutual agreement to let him out of his contract to pursue other opportunities next summer. But I'm in no hurry to see him go. It could be another 25 years to the next Penguins coach who knows what he's doing.

The Sens have 5 forwards at or just shy of PPG, but they're tied for 32nd overall because the defence sucks and they've lost 9 games by 1 goal (not counting empty net goals).

Which Sullivan has been trying to do. But, Sid/Guentzel/Rust all deciding to completely abandon defensive positioning or Letang/Dumoulin being incapable of a zone exit or Petry turning the puck over on a stretch pass for the 3rd time because he double clutches....not much you can do there. The first powerplay unit has been utter garbage all year and a big part of their conversions have been the 2nd unit getting goals either from Zucker or Rakell. This team needs an injection of speed and fast, but on the track record so far I'm not sure if Hextall will be able to pull it off. Edit: I do think that Sullivan needs to revisit his matching schemes though, because is top vs top and 2nd vs 3rd and Carter vs 2nd isn't working out. rex rabidorum vires fucked around with this message at 16:27 on Nov 16, 2022 |

The track record from the past year or two strongly suggests Hextall isn't making these decisions, Burke is. I'll be surprised if Hextall is still there come August.

Penguins would be silly to fire Sullivan, they aren’t a team that’s tuned him out or can’t get motivated by him anymore, they’re just old and don’t have the young legs in the lineup that can carry the team for portions of the game. They have to rely on the old guard to win the games, and shocking I know, it isn’t working right now. If there was a case for load management to be made in the NHL this team would be the poster child, but they just can’t do it. It’s not like bringing in another coach will solve these issues, and the team clearly supports him. If Sullivan wanted out I’d understand, but much like the contract they gave Rust for six years but no trade protection after the third year, I think Sully is there for at least that long.

Which Sullivan has been trying to do. Sullivan should break up GCR because it has struggled mightily for quite a while now. And probably break up the top PP unit too or at least maybe make at least somewhat of a change to that like swapping Rakell and Rust or...something. Anything. It's been so bad and Sullivan is stubbornly sticking with it. It's hard to win without functioning special teams. The Pens have at least improved their pk somewhat, but the pp continues to cost them games. I don't see a speed injection coming. There's no prospects chomping at the bit to play, and the have nothing to trade.

In either case they just extended him so I don't think he's going anywhere so they'll ride this out and see what happens

I would put Zucker on the top powerplay and considering swapping the matchups of Malkin/Zucker/Rakell against top line and GCR with the easier match up. Either Rust has a nagging injury or he's lost a few step and there is almost no replacement in the line up for him.
