No Excuses No Limits! The mother fucking goddamn season thread

Reaves should never play a single shift for this team again, no matter who the coach is. Dude flat out cannot play hockey. And for all his bravado he brings precious little toughness or physicality to the game even when he does play.
And best guess is not a single fun party planned all year

I know who could have seen that coming

oh wait
 
Imagine basing your decision on firing your coach and who to replace him off Ryan Reaves usage.
I didn't mean about Reaves exclusively...I meant how Berube treated and used his bottom six.

Reaves would have seen if he put. Them in conditions they'll be successful in. Did he reward effort and did he have favourites. That's what I meant by seeing what former players say in your choice of new coach
 
Berube is a hot name because of a cup in 2019. A lot went his way. I'd much rather hire Evason with only 1 playoff series win. A ton went right in 2019 for the Blues. Berube doesn't look special at all. "Cups" area bad way to say if a coach is good or not.

Good for bozak and Steen. That's the Hyman vibe...

Giving up on some dependable players only for them to go elsewhere and flourish

Doesn't that third line somewhat remind you of our potential third line.

Robertson/bozak (waterbug skilled player (bozak way smarter)

Domi/Steen. Kids of nhlers skilled and can come up big in big moments.

Thomas=...... Knies. Big rookie that used those playoffs to really learn how to play nhl hockey.

Therefore I can see that if he had success with that 3rd line, maybe he can replicate here.

Their top six was a bit heavier and played that way...but we have way more talent and if they play big, would be way better than those two lines. Perron/ bertuzzi there are a lot of similarities in the forward group.

The difference is we don't have a pietrangelo yet.

I think Berube is a decent pick, and he can get people to do shit in the short term
 
one thing that's interesting about this year, despite our struggles, is that i'm legit not scared of any of the teams ahead of us, and i'm pretty certain a bunch of them are complete frauds (VAN, WPG, NYR especially).
 
The Perry singing is fun and exciting but he’s 39 and the edge of the cliff is very near for him

He may come in and provide plus value but it also wouldn’t shock me to see him fall off
