It's so difficult to be a fan of this team. Half the players start the season out of shape and distracted while a few select can play elite hockey out of the gate, so clearly there is a lack of accountability within the team and they play so bad they break a dogshit record and everyone is laughing at them and I quietly put my jersey back in the closet and like the last umpteenth seasons stop watching games and only read recaps to smh. Then they start to play well and I get succoured into watching OT against the Sharks and they win, but given SOG alone probably undeservedly, after a brief win streak against actually good teams. Wth. Then I come here to lurk and this new scandal has cropped up. Screw both sides, when someone gets fired in capitalism, in broad strokes, it is often because they were pushing back against lovely people and likely also struggling as neurodivergent/mentally ill. People with mental illness/divergence experience termination at an absurdly higher percentile. I'm absolutely on Dorrie's side. The AGM should resign and they should issue a public apology.

They're not going to make the playoffs, they're not going to draft in the top five, they're not going to sell at the deadline, and hell they might even buy. They'll never replace the owner and if they do ever replace management it'll just be a different flavour of turd. Why bother.

That Draisaitl slash of Trouba's stick is giving me weird conflicting feelings because on the one hand I don't like Trouba but on the other I'm disappointed he didn't take a number for that.

they also have kuzmenko going to ufa at the end of the season. i can't decide if it would be funnier for them to keep both at the deadline, miss the playoffs and then lose both for nothing or for them to extend both and then have to trade their entire draft away to clear enough cap space to actually afford it

e: But back to the Superior Eastern Conference. Detroit and the Islanders are frauds but are Pittsburgh/Carolina/Florida good enough to take advantage of it? You'd think so but probably one of them will miss at this rate.

I think the Pens and Carolina have enough. Florida has Maurice at the helm so who knows. I could see something like the Isles falling pretty far. Outscoring your expected values by 10% isn't exactly sustainable imo. The Rangers and Canes will/should find some finishing at some point. The Pens are still a bit of a mess, but despite a 7 game skid are still right there in the mix of Metro teams. I'm going with Tampa leap frogging Detroit and the Metro sends 5 teams in NJ, Carolina, Rangers, Pens, and then the Isles sneaking into that final spot.

Interesting lines, he's also on the 2nd line PP. That 4th line looks mega soft lol, wouldn't be surprised if Ruff loses them early and the top 3 lines play a ton tonight.

I just have a hard time seeing Florida miss, especially now that they're going with Spencer Knight. They've been really unlucky this year. 5v5 they still profile super strong, they've just had poor special teams and Bob looks like he's toast.

Yeah, best right side in the league baby.

but he's gonna leave after this year :(

I actually remember during the winning streak they asked him about his new role and he said something to the effect of "you'd wish it was going better for me personally, but I'm happy for the team". Makes sense tbh, he's clearly a top 4 d-man (probably best as your #2 RHD) on most teams in the league. My guess is someone pays him 5-6m at 4+ years.

e: Honestly he should probably play a bit more than he does even with Marino/Hamilton, but if it's keeping Brendan Smith off the ice 5v5 then gently caress it

Been a real bright spot of the Sens' season this year, especially after being put on a line with Stutzle and Tkachuk. Probably a top-10 line in the league.

Shame about the rest of the team though.

I'd like to think Marner is joking but there are hockey players that really are that dumb and he might be one of them.

Looks like Kapanen is getting back into the lineup. I don't mind it. Heinen has been poo poo for a while now. Maybe Kapanen can play motivated for a few games before he inevitably starts to suck again.
