I can't wait for all the hand-wringing when players go to the Olympics and the previous pro-Olympics fans are calling into question their players' integrity and dedication when they up and leave their teams for two weeks a month and a half before the playoffs

I don't nearly have the energy nor resolve to type up the full effortpost that this rightfully deserves but Ken Holland is a jackass who has never done a drat thing for this team that wasn't already done, or could've been done, by anyone else that's been in the organization since the day he showed up. As time passes, he continues to prove himself, perhaps apocryphally but most likely not, to be a stubborn glory hog who cares more about his perceived legacy than the actual future of this team. Yzmeran is a what-if to be sure, and circumstances are definitely not the same as they were in Tampa but three things are 100% for sure: 1) Holland destroyed this team and put them in a huge hole that could very well rival '56-'91 2) Steve Yzerman would've absolutely done a better job, regardless of how minor that improvement would've been 3) Steve Yzerman will never be the GM of the Red Wings unless he's fired from Tampa and even then I'd put the odds drat close to zero

Go to cap friendly and look at their roster in 2024 and honestly with a straight face tell me that even if they do choose to finally blow it up and do a proper rebuild, that they'll be anything more than a first round sacrificial lamb by like 2030 the absolute earliest, just as they've been the last few years and doubtful they'd be much better for a few years following barring some incredible luck. e: I did say, paraphrasing myself, "quite possibly." all it takes is a few bad hires and some lovely draft picks, and that 2030 could be 2040. Not to mention that if that stuff about Chris and the Illitch family are actually true, this could be a full blown reverse Wirtz situation Teemu Pokemon fucked around with this message at 00:34 on Apr 19, 2017 |

CommaToes posted:This draft lottery thing is entertaining, but it takes out much of the motivation for tanking. No it doesn't No they won't Imagine a world where tanking actually isn't a problem and all the hand wringing over a completely viable and not-nearly-as-prevalent-as-perceived strategy causes reactionary rule changes that actually make things worse and makes it even harder for perennially lovely teams to get better because .500 teams get higher draft picks than a team that loses 60 games!!

The draft is unethical from a labor standpoint, but sports leagues don't operate under the same laws of reality because they are encouraged to enforce parity for entertainment purposes and the most effective way to do that is to let the bad teams have the first crack at the best incoming players!! If law firms were essentially forced to ideally be relatively equally effective and competitive, maybe there would be a lawyer draft and the valedictorian of Harvard law might have to spend 3 years in Wyoming, but nobody is buying tickets to go sit in for Cheyenne traffic court so Teemu Pokemon fucked around with this message at 05:44 on Apr 30, 2017 |

It does because without a draft, it would be baseball where the Rangers/Chicago/Toronto/Detroit/Montreal/Pittsburgh would have the biggest salaries and the other teams would basically exist purely as feeder teams that compete once or twice a decade

I'm really digging the contrarian counter-counter-counter culture in this thread that wants to defend ridiculous poo poo like a child having to spend at least the first 18 years of his life with a name like Krz because "you're just like, old, man!!" As someone with a pretty ridiculous last name, let me assure you that if my parents had actually chosen that, I would've spent my entire childhood lifting weights and my 18th birthday present would've been to beat the poo poo out of them with my bare hands. It's a goddamn person, not a loving hermit crab. e: Stretch Marx posted:I don't care if a kid's name is spelled Krz in place of Cruise as long as the kid I say Cruise to responds. If he wants to change it's spelling in the future is his prerogative. If it's a clerical thing to worry about, that's what copy/paste is for. He'll respond to the 40th substitute teacher who asks "Is there a...'Krrr..iizzzz" here?" But not after rolling his eyes, sighing, and being driven ever closer to a life of skinning prostitutes.

rangers are a dumb butt team and AV is a dumb butt coach that the rangers are stuck with because every other option available would literally be a nightmare in comparison That is seriously one of the most embarrassing series losses I've ever seen. The Rangers scored first in 5? games, blew two late leads and lost those games in OT, gave up another GWG late in the third, and came back from down 0-2 (when it should've been at least 1-1 if not 2-0) only to blow game 5 and lose game 6 at home. For all intents and purposes, that could've been a sweep and instead the team that was outplayed for a solid 80% of that series isn't even pushed to 7. e: also lol ottawa in the ECF this playoff format tho

a false posted:i think we've seen enough of him where it's more likely whatever he did in game 6 was an aberration than everything prior to that being an aberration. Considering that the Ottawa series, and last night specifically, is more in line with how he played most of his career in Detroit, I'd say it's probably more likely that literally the opposite is true

To be completely fair, having Tanner Glass on that ice to protect a 1-goal lead in the waning minutes of a playoff game is alarming. Doing it three times in a series with the same result is about as close as you can get to a legitimate fireable offense
