No Excuses No Limits! The mother fucking goddamn season thread

If find it pretty funny that they had their best 3rd line scoring depth that they've quite literally ever had in this teams era. And Sheldon threw a bitch fit and demanded to Dubas-fy it. Even if Kampf has good wingers on the 3rd line, that line is not gonna score. Solely gonna rely on the top 6 again to provide offense. Maybe it wasn't Dubas and it was always Keefe that demanded these things.

I mean, looking at Pittsburgh, I'm going to say they were of like mind. Dubas has not turned out to be the forward thinking young hockey genius he was billed as. Just a kid from the Soo with bad eyes who wishes he was a few inches taller and 50 pounds heavier so he could have played the type of hockey he likes.
 
Remember kid, everyone who is junk on a bad team can play waaay up the lineup in Toronto as long as they play the right way.

Think it’s very safe to assume that Kampf’s four year deal for real money was something Keefe insisted on.
 
I remember this sequence from last night and in a nut shell it sums up why I hate this "skilled offensive D and complete dog shit plumber" combo pack that we seem fascinated with.

Lilly makes a good controlled exit play as any decently skilled defender makes in that situation, hits Edmundson in stride with a good cross ice pass that makes a controlled entry super simple. Edmundson fumble fucks the pass, steps in over the line, fires a pass to no one in particular (behind Nylander, 10 feet too far in front of Bert) that hits the end boards and starts a Habs breakout going the other way. Just an epic fucking waste of a top line shift because you've now got your 2 leading scorers chasing the puck for the next 20-30 seconds until changing. You get maybe 20-22 shifts out of your top unit a game and lighting a few of them on fire because you think Lilly needs to have a grenade tossing plug next to him is fucking mind boggling. This is exactly the stuff that creates 2-1 playoff losses and has the media asking "Why can't Auston just score more goals????"
