We did not handle the grind of the playoffs for years. We're needing some bruisers.
Much more of a need for the barf emoji.Petition to add crying emoji to reaction options.
Hopefully these sage words of wisdom from an esteemed member of the media will soothe the frayed nerves around here:

no they are not.The fucked up thing is that somehow they're going to come close to winning this year, and then this fucking recipe will be validated for the next 20 years.
Their D corps is not good, and its deployed by a complete idiot.I'd love to be optimistic like LOF but I just don't see a d corps with Benoit, Boosh and Edmundson as regulars in the lineup being a cup winning d corps. They don't have enough top end talent back there to mitigate for those liabilities.
I'm not optimistic. I'm thinking of Leafy results, like the one time we all think they clearly screwed the pooch, they fluke their way into something.I'd love to be optimistic like LOF but I just don't see a d corps with Benoit, Boosh and Edmundson as regulars in the lineup being a cup winning d corps.

How is that a leafy result though? A Leafy result appears to be, do moron things, suffer accordingly. There is nothing to suggest you are allowed to accidentally win or almost win anythingI'm not optimistic.

If they lose in the first round, and these fuckers stick around to bury this franchise even more next year, I think I'm out. What's the fucking fun of following a team that thinks Babushkin and Edmundson are good? This is demoralizing and outright depressing.
You've confused the meaning of "Leafy".How is that a leafy result though? A Leafy result appears to be, do moron things, suffer accordingly. There is nothing to suggest you are allowed to accidentally win or almost win anything
Even in your most optimistic world its a downgrade on Benoit and a complete waste of draft picks.I'm not saying he won't prove you all right.. but can we at least wait to see how these guys are deployed?
I think there is a good chance Edmund Fitzgerald replaces Benoit, and/or it a timeshared #6.
What fucks me up, is that if we're capped out after adding 2x depth defenders - what the fuck miracle were we expecting to happen here?
Nah, its just being dumb and losing in painful ways.You've confused the meaning of "Leafy".
Leafy means performing the opposite of normal expected outcomes.

And Sheldo is in charge of deployment.So this guy we just went and got, the cross checky guy who won a cup.
Yeah, he's been to the 3rd round or deeper 3x in his career, this is what his performance has looked like.
We'll stick to real goals for the kids who only care about results and not process:
2015-16(STL): 16GP, 30% GF, 11 defensive zone faceoffs/60 (aka, deeeeply sheltered). So he got fucking wrecked in baby cartoon shit usage. Nice
2018-19(STL): 22 GP, 45.8% GF, 16 DZone/60 (normal #5-6 sheltering). Only a bit underwater, but in light usage you just shouldn't be.
2021-22(MTL): 22GP, 41.9% GP, 21 Dzone/60 (heavy defensive usage). Absolutely crushed when leaned on to be an impact defenseman. Destroyed.
Yeah, this is what we needed more of.
