04.19.14 | and then what happens when--with a new roster but the same coach--they're on the outside looking in again a year from now? that's probably more likely than any other outcome if that's the course shanny takes.
idk i was too young to remember the last time my team missed the playoffs so maybe i just can't relate. |
MalleusMaleficarum
04.19.14 | i can create the exact same type of hypothetical; what happens next year when we have a new coach, the same roster, and are on the outside looking in? and carlyle is winning with a different team?
the coach is supposed to be the last resort. address the roster first, unless you have an absolute nightmare behind the bench ie: Tortorella
|
Satellite
04.19.14 | i'm not indicting carlyle as anything but a good coach; his record speaks for itself. it's just that if you're going to have a regime change, you should have a regime change.
and i disagree. start from the top. the year the pens were struggling but ultimately won the cup, did they trade crosby and malkin? no, they hired bylsma. much like pulling a goalie who allows a couple softies early, sometimes you need to shake things up in order to achieve a different result. |

04.19.14 | also yes in the past few years he's had a marginal amount of stars, but trotz always seemed to get the most out of his lackluster nashville rosters. |

Is it weird to not really pull for any team, just sit back and observe the league?

Seabrook destroyed Backes, holy shit. I love (in a fucked up way) how Backes got to his feet (kinda) and started yelling at the Blackhawks players even though he probably at the time had no idea what just happened.
Anyways, I feel like in certain situations penalties should be relative to the injury. Seabrook will be back in LONG before Backes is. |

when I said that about tampa's goalies there was a good chance bishop would return or that they go with their top prospect. bishop had 3rd best GAA and sv% among starters and maybe linder isn't the best backup in hockey (not sure why they stuck with him honestly) but his career sv% is better than budaj's... and, again, Gudlevskis the best goalie prospect in hockey. you still can't name a team with better top 3 goalies in their system

04.23.14 | Gudlevskis is the best prospect? lol wat? |
MalleusMaleficarum
04.23.14 | I would respect your opinions a bit more if you backed them up with at least a fact or two. Can we talk about how Gudlevskis has been struggling in the AHL? Can we talk bout how Lindback's numbers are worse than Eddie Lack's? Lindback is garbage and Gudlevskis is unproven, even at the AHL level. youre still blowing your load off the Latvia game, and are seemingly unwilling to look at long term numbers. |

MalleusMaleficarum
04.23.14 | thats also why you get quiet when the numbers are on your screen.
good decision though.
anyways, wouldn't be surprised if Lindback gets cut this summer. Tampa needs to add some pieces including some goaltending depth. Gudlevskis at least looked better than Lindback though. If he can get through a half decent campaign in the AHL next year, maybe he can be their full time backup for 2015 or 2016. |
MalleusMaleficarum
04.23.14 | "bishop is dope
common knowledge that lindback isn't"
or so I thought.
Gudlevskis is the goalie that a bunch of kids got hard over because he played a good game for Latvia vs Canada at the olympics. he also subbed in for Lindback in game 4 and stopped 17 out of 18 shots or something like that. but his numbers in the AHL are weak.
having 2 good players on your roster doesnt get you to the east finals. drouin was unprepared for the NHL this season. dont expect him to be Nate MacKinnon next year. |
guitarded_chuck
04.23.14 | do expect him to be mack or better

04.23.14 | lol wtv dude bishop was one of the best goalies in the league this year. AHL stats are a little silly to look at considering you know nothing of the teams in front of them.
I was a little off on one thing, that linder is a great backup, turns out he was mediocre (like most backups in the NHL are anyway)
finally, Gudlevskis is a top prospect and TB should have played him. ALSO they have the 2nd best goaltending prospect in hockey according to hockey futures:
http://www.hockeysfuture.com/prospect-rankings/
Saying they need to add goaltending is fucking stupid. Let's agree to disagree

Hell, they played all over Pittsburg last night, apart from the first period. If Bobrovski hadn't choked in game 3, we would be up 3-1, easily.
Also, I find it funny how there's a pattern in the series thus far: every game has ended 4-3. If it was in regulation, Pittsburg won, if it was overtime, Columbus won. |

04.29.14 | it's hard to say
sometimes vets move to win, sometimes they stay for bigger reasons, family, their homes are there, etc
don't worry my buddy james sheppard will lead them to the promise land sooner or later |

04.29.14 | Trading 1 of those players would make sense depending on the return but I thought you were suggesting getting rid of them all |

04.29.14 | i'm thinking something similar to what the flyers did with carter/richards a few years back. like san jose, they had a young core ready step up so the vets were expendable while being lucrative to other teams. they have to at the very least do their due diligence.
of course all of this is moot if they win game 7. just speculating. already in offseason mode :/ |

04.29.14 | The Salary Cap is going up to $71.1M next season, and as it currently stands, the Sharks will only have $57M against the cap. thats with all of their core players locked up. Their pending free agents are guys they will likely be willing to let go: Boyle, Sheppard, Kearns, Hannan; with the exceptions being Jason Demers and maybe Tommy Wingels, who are both restricted anyways. so lets not act as if they're in some sort of financial bind because of who they have signed long term. They will have roughly $13M to spend on some more productive pieces to surround their core, and I also believe that they should/may trade Martin Havlat ($5M next year) to acquire some younger blood. |

04.29.14 | he's p much ppg the last 25ish games including the playoffs with only about 10 mins of ice a game, and he'd definitely sign to another cheap one year deal me thinks
unless another team offers better |

04.30.14 | "The only hall of fame shoe-in on the Hawks is Toews. if Keith keeps up his point-production and Norris nominations for the next 5+ years then I could see him being included as well. Hossa, Sharp and Kane? lol no."
Sharp's definitely a stretch but if Kaner continues producing at the level he's been at for the last few years (and ends up with 3-4 cups), then one would think he'd get in at some point. he's only what, 25?
as for Hossa... I mean if Pavel Bure's in, you gotta put Hossa in too. he's going to retire with over 1,000 points and at least 2 championships. Not sure I'd call him a lock, but definitely in the conversation.
yeah Sharp was a huge stretch though |

04.30.14 | yeah hossa has a good shot

04.30.14 | when you get 41 shots and allow only 16 thats not really classified as hanging your goalie out to dry is it |

05.01.14 | No way. Oh well, the Avs weren't gonna go all the way. This will be a huge learning experience. Generally in the NHL you have to fail to win.
Wow what about the Sharks though. WTF are they gonna do now. Every gotdaym time. |
