the only thing that makes any sense to me is if Keefe is worried about the bolts trying to get retribution or any type of motivation they might get from that kind of thing.

The (stupid) code


 
Insane that you get 5 mins (offsetting) if you make a guy’s head snap back like that with a punch in the face, but if you do it while skating by, it’s a multi-game suspension.
 
This is so true. Now we are worried how "Rusty" he would be. What team would have a Lilly as a #7 D? It was moronic.
 
Not sure what the difference between putting Bunting back in and putting Lilly in would be.

if anything, you want to go on a long run, put him in now instead of waiting for an injury to keep him fresh. Lilly is awesome, and Holl has been garbage.

Edna is right partly; however I can't look past 0-10 in clinching games with this core. Currently have zero faith in this group

The management and coaching staff always do their best to make their jobs a little more difficult, with stupid lineup decisions and shitty roster building.

But in the end, if any of the four losers that headline our forward group were championship caliber players, at the bare minimum they’d have put the team on their back in one of these ten games and carried them to victory.

But that’s just not who any of these guys are.
 
Seeing the completely asymmetric stats on the roster makes me immediately think that Sheldon is once again over-coaching and getting way too cute (not putting in Bunting was hilarious; ZAR/Laff over Bunting is LOL). Maybe relying on 33% xgf% Kampf, Lafferty and ZAR to play the TOUGHEST MINUTES is not the best idea? They are getting rinsed. Kampf just ain't Kampf without the giraffe by his side. And he is getting way too much ice time.. To Sheldon's credit, at least the other two have been used more sparingly in the last 2 games when they've been mostly coming from behind.


TLDR: I struggle to blame the big dogs in this series.. At all. They are mostly crushing the minutes they play and producing big time offence. ROR has sucked ass admittedly but he's been clutch as fuck and has played the hardest of the minutes of the big boys.
 
Think it’s a bit overblown having someone come in after 12-14 days off. See guys come in for injured players all the time and not a big deal. Moreover, they are very likely 100 percent healthy vs Holl or ZAR (wouldn’t be surprised if Holl is injured as his play as just follow off).

Some coaches want to be right as much as they want to win. #ego
 
Shit is just hilarious at this point. This group is probably statistically the greatest playoff chokers of all time. As far as sustained, consistent choking goes. I can't imagine anyone has ever had this consistent a run of sustained choking. It's actually impressive. Difficult to do, really.

Can the nerds post Holl’s full nerdies and tell us what they say? I’m curious.

Don't worry about it.
