true but now is the waiting game and letting your young guys mature, put on some weight and grow with the game. You can't go out make star player over night.

Probably for construction on a new arena
Pretty much what it is. Kind of unfortunate that Cyril Leeder is stepping down, though.

Hey guys, just wanted to drop in and say that I suffered for years with a mood disorder I didn't know about, and I wish I had talked about my anxieties earlier. If anybody wants to talk about anything that's bothering them, I'm usually around to listen if you don't have anybody to talk to.
Also your local sporting team is garbage
It is definitely worth remembering that the Jets moved after a few terrible years of bad drafting and horrible roster decisions left the team with basically no young talent. Chevy has done a very good job with drafting and a decent job of player development. He's had a few really good trades but he still doesn't address roster issues quickly enough (although that's true of almost all GMs, and the lack of trading partners hurts everyone).
I'd say he's too loyal, especially to bottom of the depth chart guys he overpays like Stuart and Thorburn etc. Sure overpaying a vet that everyone likes by a million dollars isn't the end of the world when you're not a cap team, but then sticking with them no matter what does hurt the team a fair bit. His inability or unwillingness to improve the bottom pairing is a long standing joke and arguably hurts the team as much as shaky goaltending (which he also ignored for years during the rebuild only to discover it isn't as easy to fix as he may have hoped).
Honestly, I'd be totally fine with Chevy being replaced this summer too. But the coaching staff definitely needs to go.
24 hours ago Dorion on the radio saying they will only make big acquisitions if they were contenders.
Who to believe? 🤔🤔
Can we have your assistant coaches? Theres no way theyre worse than ours.
For 5 seasons now Wade Flaherty has made every single goalie on the roster get noticeably worse, including two that had good success in the AHL.
Charlie Huddy coaches the D and his "specialty" is the PK. We have had a bottom 5 PK the entire time he's been here... which I'm pretty sure has been 6 fucking years.
So yeah, take 'em!

This is unprecedented
Is it that they're the first three teams confirmed, or they'll be the first three teams to have jersey ads next season, with the rest of the league following up after?
Russia influencing an American event. Should I make a thread about that in OT?

Hey man, the best part about this season has been watching people try to talk about Roy like he was some savant coach who was the difference between this year and the last several years of mediocrity. I'm sure there are plenty of people actually in the league who are drawing the same false conclusion, so at least we know he'll have a job with another team if he wants one. More Roy gifs for all.

He should have quit at the end of last season so we could get a more experienced coach.

hehe, I did something similar once. Talking to some asshole customer on the phone and I end the conversation and hang up. I start ripping into him with one of my coworkers, turns out the phone wasnt set all the way down and the dude heard everything. That was an interesting day for sure.
Along these same lines, the Rangers' 31 wins in their first 48 games is the second most ever in the franchise's 90 year history. They are in 4th place in the Metro division.

I'm pretty shocked that an Atlantic team has a wild card spot right now. The Metro is a meat grinder.
Philly and Carolina dropped off bigly. Otherwise it would be all Metro.

Yeah
I can't say I am surprised that we dropped off... I mean we are Philly after all
he's a 40 point guy AT BEST what the fuck are they thinking

The Avalanche won't have Morning skates for the rest of the season according to a Colorado reporter.
Poor performance on the ice because they are tired from morning skates, got it.
Avs to have a perfect 2nd half of the season, just you wait

It's both fascinating and terrifying. Most important thing for Americans over the next four years will be finding creative ways to break down the echo chambers.

Can't have any teams go west to east. Carolina is earmarked for Quebec and you guys will get Seattle and love it.

Enjoy Toronto 2
I really want a team in Seattle
Alaska doesn't get ANY regional games I'd even watch Canucks games if they were available on TV for basically every game

Is there actual scuttlebutt on Colorado leaving? I know most folks assume Carolina is already gone, but I haven't heard much about the Avs
Nah, Avs are just in a garbage/rebuild period that should only last another season or two. We aren't going to pull an Edmonton.
