The Mother-fucking goddamn Off-season Thread

A 5 year sample isn't small. It's not even a sample; at that point it's a trend. It's essentially what you team is or has become. Waiting another year hoping it will be different just kicks the can down the road. You need to change course.

^this is how you arrive at bad conclusions by not weighing context, or applying any critical thinking.

Washington pretty legitimately beat us 4-2

Bruins beat us in 7 [up 4-3 heading into the third]

Bruins beat us in 7 [down 2-1 heading into the third]

Columbus beats us in 5 [unlucky to be in a 5 game series to start with, but have 5.18-1.49 xG in game 5 but lose 3-0]

Habs beat Leafs in 7 [Leafs lose 2 OT games to eliminate Habs, own xG in both…also lose Tavares game 1, on dirty hit]

Lightning beat Leafs in 7 [lose by a goal, after having a good goal wiped off the board]

Florida beats Leafs in 5 [Deserve to be up 3-1 after 4…but get goalie’d and lose series pretty legitimately as a result]



we lost 5 series deciding games (and two other chances to eliminate Habs) by a fucking whisker.

there’s no trend, no underlying cause for the bad luck (the xG was there the majority of the time)…..we just continually lost coin flip one goal games that decided series. It’s going to happen. Just sucks donkey D’s it was to us.
 
unfortunately the only thing that comes out looking false in all this fake drama is Dubas claim that it was toronto or bust for him. that seems to be the one clear bit of bullshit we were fed by either party.
I guess that he finally had the sit down with his family, and they were good with this....
 
I wonder if he'll implement a ''streamlined'' decision making process where his GM goes directly to the board and bypasses him, lol.

I'm just thrilled this pos is gone, too bad he left a shit show behind him for Tree to deal with.
 
Shit show…lol
One of the best rosters in the world
Take a closer look, we have Mathews/Marner/Nylander (which he inherited) and potentially Knies up front then the old or meh or the overpaid and declining (Tavares), on D we have Rielly and hopefully Lilly and then the mediocre. Few draft picks and few decent assets to trade to improve so i really love to know what you see is so special on this roster?
