So I'm slowly crawling back to SAS/Habs fandom. Am I a playoff poster now?

I hope the Habs win the cup so I can spend the rest of my life hearing how Shea Weber is better than PK and Goldblum is a genius at building teams.

Good Soldier Svejk posted:Jim Rutherford was only supposed to be around for like a year at the start so maybe he's ready to step down sometime soon? Maybe that's all been long-forgotten now that he's a success again and everyone kinda loves him save for the fact that he indirectly murdered Despres I thought he was keeping the seat warm for the AGM over there in Pitt? Is he still around?

They should fire him and hire someone committed to the youth movement. A certain Pierre McGuire perhaps.

Are there any other blogging superstars that ditched us for greener pastures besides r-lam and Chemmy? I bet VJeff could have made it if only he had posted his essays faster. Also good thread title

gently caress this stupid team I regret expressing any hope when we hired Julien. I regret coming back to root for this poorly run stupid organization. I'm looking forward to Goldblum following up last offseason with an even worse one this year. Looking forward to protecting pluggers while we lost actual good hockey players to the expansion draft. Can't wait for the Pacioretty needs to be traded hot takes. gently caress everything. Fire Goldblum and steal Julien Brisebois back please for the love of god.

iospace posted:Doesn't answer the question At the end of the year press conference, Julien re-iterated that Galchenyuk is a Center. Goldblum said he's a Winger. Fire Bergevin. Fire Therrien Jr. in the AHL. https://twitter.com/KyleMedeiros_/status/857027434352328704 The Fire Juliens will probably pick up when he plays Steve Ott for the 40th game in a row while sitting Charles Hudon in the pressbox.

Kilza posted:I'm guessing if Bergevin was to get fired Julien Brisebois (Tampa's AGM) would be the popular choice to replace him, which seems like it'd be an improvement. Of course, there's also the comedy option of Patrick Roy. This is the ideal scenario for me. My wildest dream is Julien Brisebois takes over, gives AGM to Timmins if he wants it, and then throws money at hockey excel nerds.

Matt Zerella posted:I kept hearing rumors that MTL had soured on McD before he was traded. What the hell was up with that? Bullshit or what? Pierre Gauthier soured on him, or allegedly always hated his guts. This was during the period where Gainey lost his daughter due to a boating accident so Gauthier, while still AGM, was effectively taking on GM responsibilities. The scuttlebutt is that Gauthier thought McD would amount to nothing due to his limited offensive game, but even back then the reports were that McD was super solid in his own end and slowly adding some dishing qualities on the other side of the rink. Some confluence of events led to Gainey wanting to blow up the Koivu core and restart fresh with new core pieces so you got the McD for Gomez trade and then the Gionta + Camalleri signings in the same summer.

Does anyone on SAS have a 'The Athletic' subscription? I've been thinking about pulling the trigger. It's Toronto sports beat which I'm not really interested in, but the occasional Dellow deep dive and reading some Mirtle pieces might be worth it even if I don't give a poo poo about Toronto teams or their sister Chicago site.

Jamwad Hilder posted:He definitely used to be but I don't think so anymore. Ever since he started his new website or whatever he's become more and more of a Toronto homer, which is totally fine - that's his audience, but I unfollowed because I got sick of it. Yeah at this point I like his feed because he's retweeting his good website writers (like dellow's comeback) so it's made me seriously consider getting a subscription just to read dellow articles. Sorta the same thing with Eliotte Friedman. He used to put good stuff out but ever since he's had his brain infected by HNIC/Sportsnet it's not been as frequent. Technetium posted:To pile on if you want hockey stat nerds: Thanks for this. I've been away from the league all year so I don't know who the new faces / who got snatched up. It's funny because based on Tyler Dellow, some NHL GMs have secret twitter accounts that just follow hockey stat nerds but they would never admit publically to putting value in fancystats.

Mike_V posted:I know teams have a couple of assistant coaches to run the D, forwards, and goalies, but do any teams employ someone exclusively for the PP or PK? Usually it's delegated to an existing coach, but if neither of those coaches are any good at PP or PK, what's stopping a team from hiring a dude to focus specifically on special teams? I believe this is the case on the Coyotes? They fired a couple of people a few weeks ago and I think someone was exclusively the PP guy.
