No Excuses No Limits! The mother fucking goddamn season thread

If we acquired Danault, Keefe would relegate him to 4th line minutes and still lean on Kampf as his shut-down center.

As much of Kampf's bathwater as Sheldon drinks daily, I think he'd try to play Dano over Matthews.....he would fucking love that guy.
 
There’s no way he’s playing reaves with domi. What’s most likely is he bumps the elite noah Gregor.
 



I hate Sheldon as much of the next guy, but I think this move has Treebitch’s fingerprints all over it.

He could have waived & demoted Reaves when he whined to the media that he was actually healthy. Instead he put him back onto the roster.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he directed Keefe to get him back into the lineup at the earliest opportunity too. His Reavo crush is well documented.

Keefe uses his fourth line to match against the oppositions best players. Nothing about him as a coach suggests he has any love for a slug that can't play hockey. The guys talent evaluation is garbage but I don't think he's ever been one to enjoy coaching with an ogre as a staple on his fourth line. He visibly jumped through hoops to protect and shelter Reaves when he was in the lineup. That can't be fun to have to constantly have to worry about.

Tldr: I agree, yeah. This is very likely a Tree bitch thing.
 
Played around on cap friendly earlier today.

Appears if we let bertuzzi/brodie/gio (could keep at league min) walk, trade kampf and buyout Reaves.

You can add 1 of Roy or Pesce and one of Danault/Jenner as well.

C depth of Matthews, Danault/Jenner, Domi, Minten would be good and move tavares to the wing.
 
Standings, with team Sv% rank

1. VAN (#3)
2. BOS (#2)
3. WPG (#1)
4. COL (#25)
5. FLA (#8)
6. DAL (#19)
7. EDM (#14)
8. NYR (#16)
9. VGK (#5)
10. CAR (#30)
11. TOR (#22)
12. TBL (#28)


shouldn't be surprising but i guess it always is a little bit - the three big surprise "elite" teams at the top of the standings VAN BOS WPG are backed up by getting the top 3 elite goaltending, while most of the surprisingly underwhelming projected elite teams like COL, CAR, TOR, TBL may be underwhelming in large part due to getting bottom tier goaltending.
 


Yeah, but everything went well last night, how bad could the 4th line have really been?

Kampf - 20.9% xG
Reaves - 33.2% xG
Gregor - 30.5% xG
