No Excuses No Limits! The mother fucking goddamn season thread

[Wayward DP]

I'm guessing playing in the second round would be new and exciting around these parts

eh. dunno that it would move the needle much for me. they gotta win at least two rounds before most start caring, I would think.

then again, I'm now old, grumpy and cynical so who knows.

(actually if the playoffs started today the Leafs would play Boston in r1 and then either TB or FLA in r2.)

still needs a little rehabbing for the little thing they did to help his little thing a little bit.

boggles my mind that they think there's actually some benefit to BSing like this, eroding trust with and annoying the fanbase, and making their own lives more difficult, instead of just being straight about the injury situations.

I hope he rehabs till the end of the playoffs and is ready just in time to sign with a new team.

Super exciting. Never seen any of those teams before, I don't think.

How can that be Willy's score?

 

[zeke]

his production is down.

 

[Hoss]

I'm starting to think that tre is purposely signing these players that have some injury concerns, but have been used for cap space on LTIR.

You hope to hit on the player making a comeback because theirs potential there, but that cap hit is valuable at the deadline for a better fitting bottom pair or middle pair defender. Jarnkroks money as well..

So I don't mind hakanpaa being hurt....add that money in a trade package that includes Holmberg, Robertson, Kampf and we can get a decent 3C and Luke Schenn to play on the right with Reilly on the second pair.
OEL and another RD or Benoit

ROR just makes way too much sense tbh.

 

[Wayward DP]

Poor LOF

 

[LeafOfFaith]

If they can get him for cheap, ok.

Would love someone better though.

 

[trujaysfan]

Trochek maybe? Might be too much of a midget for this group.

ROR, Kadri, Jenner (if he is back healthy), Trochek etc.

 

[worm]

Dvorak is your man

 

[zeke]

 

[zeke]

yeah i was expecting this. no reason not to use him with him playing like he is.

[MyNameIsJonas]

Can i interest you in a decade long post break out Ryan Donato?

 

[leafman101]

Can we be the team that finds a Bennett, Karlsson or Stephenson for nothing instead of paying a lot for old guys?

What the hell are we paying all those analytics guys for if not?

 

[MindzEye]

We don't even give opportunities to our own versions of those guys. Marchment, Steeves, etc

 

[zeke]

er those teams were full of old guys they traded for.
