So few things Yeah blues are having a bad start Yeah they played a bit above what they’re punching weight is for sure last year. I had them as either a wild card or missing the playoffs barely last year That said, they’re still at the least still at wildcard level. They’re defense is a tire fire and Greiss is not a great backup are they’re main two weaknesses. Also, I know you’re more saying “should” versus “what will happen,” but there’s no way they move on from Thomas and Kyrou. They just signed the contracts. Kyrou is still a bit in the air, but Thomas is worth the contract IMO. Blues aren’t gonna tank. And the big miss is they already signed all the bad contracts. So they’re kind of stuck with going for it. IMO they’re gonna keep either making or barely missing the playoffs , and when they make it their ceiling is 2nd round tops. Sucks, but could be worse I guess.

Jhet posted:I'm not counting out the Blues in the Central either. They're not winning the division this year, but they seem to be playing worse than expected which means it's probably going to level out and they're going to be a pain in the rear end for divisional games. I could see them finishing in 3rd perhaps, the central is feeling a bit soft at the moment and I don't really expect it to last. 100% agreed.

Mike_V posted:The Blues are going to perpetually around the 7th or 8th seed for the future as a ceiling. Their defense is incredibly bad and poorly constructed and they need a high powered offense to overcome that. Right now, guys are regressing to the mean over a two year period which is going to result in a lot of ugly losses. They'll go on a tear later and be fighting for a playoff spot until the end of the season (this would be more pronounced if they played in the East where they'd be facing a much steeper hill to climb), but that's only going to get harder as the years go on with no reliable replacements coming. If the contracts could be moved or didn't exist, this wouldn't be as concerning since they could sign some aging-out-of-prime player to keep the ship afloat. So what you’re saying is YOLO let’s loving go .

https://theathletic.com/3758285/2022/11/03/canadiens-arber-xhekaj/?source=user_shared_article One day, however, his manager had enough of Xhekaj not being available to work. “I did have a lot of lates because I was coming from hockey,” Xhekaj said. “Yeah, I told them, I would text them like, ‘Hey I’m running a little late, coming from hockey.’ It’s tough to go home, eat and buzz to work. Sometimes I was late, but (my manager) said I was leading all employees in lates. “She was mad that I had hockey and I wasn’t making Costco more of a priority. I don’t think she fully understood what level I was at.”

Like it’s insanely bad, and it’s insane that he shows no remorse for it. Like, I feel guilty if I give a customer wrong info and they’re out $100 or something. I can’t imagine doing purposeful torture of another kid (let alone minority and disabled) and then literally just not even being willing to do even a fake apology.

Zodijackylite posted:I looked at Chris Neil's career stats and wondered what prompted him getting a by-far-career-high 13:52 TOI in 2012-13 at age 33. I checked their roster and wondered how bad the team was that he was a third-liner who got 1:26 per game in power play time good for ninth in ice time among forwards, and who got bumped down to the fourth line because of him - it's the guy who currently leads the league in power play goals: This is hilarious.

Good Soldier Svejk posted:I see that and think Giroux was really checked out at the end of his flyers stint, eh? Actually no. It’s def worth mentioning that G had really really good overall stats for the Flyers for like, the past 3 years, and was dragged down because of how loving awful the team has been. It really is more G succeeded in spite of the dog poo poo team he played on” more then the opposite for sure. It’s a loving shame honestly. Go Sens, G deserves to have a decent team to play with.
