The Fantastically Beautiful Joyously Superfun 22-23 Season Celebration Thread

Wonder which righty will move to the left.

Brodie - Holl
Rielly - Schenn
Liljegren - Timmins

?
 
Schenns shift boxing out Tkachuk yesterday cemented his place on the third pairing for game 1

Keefe still got a semi from it
 
Since the trade deadline (14gms):

frighteningly mediocre.

the only thing looking above average since the deadline are the special teams.....which were just as good before the deadline, and which were largely untouched by the deadline moves.
 
The only thing that matters is the win/loss record and home ice advantage for the first round.
This is just dull noise.
 
Agreed the only excuse would be they're not trying. Hopefully thats true and hopefully they can flip the switch later.

But 14th best win/loss record since the deadline and TB now within striking distance for home ice.
 
But 14th best win/loss record since the deadline

It goes back longer than that.

10th in point % since January 1st. That's just not championship calibre. They were 11th in point % between Jan 1 and the ROR trade. The deadline was an opportunity to counteract a trend that had a decent (and growing) sample behind it. At least the nerdies were solid Jan 1-mid Feb so there were signs that the team was better than it's point %.

Glasses keeps making the same mistake, and Keefe keeps making the same mistake. I'm not against adding leadership, pugnacity, truckurage or whatever the fuck. But I am against overpaying for it, and playing it ahead of much, much better hockey players. But here we are doing it again and again and again. But it's the one massive mistake the hockey establishment will never blame you for, because it aligns with their overall narrative about what winning hockey is.

The worst part is their replacements will probably be even more guilty of it.

Know what was obviously lacking with that Dubie/Keefe regime?? More toughness!
