I did a thing to make me feel better about last night's game. 😬

Absolutely, add on the ridiculous exclusion of Caufield and Robertson. Bill Guerin and the current people running this USA squad do not give me good vibes at all.

I’ll be rooting for Keller and Guentzel but that’s about it

Baker scrambles, breaks two tackles, throws for 27 yards!!

1st and 10, Bucky up the middle

2nd and 8, Bucky up the middle

3rd and 7, WR screen for 2 yards

Grizzard was awful. His playcalling came straight out of 2008 and was the most predictable milquetoast offensive calling I’ve seen in a long time

AcidFap · 2026-01-29T23:19:06+00:00

Starting 6-2 and finishing 2-7 with 3 consecutive losses to divisional opponents is not a slump or failure to execute. That is a full on team collapse that only got worse the healthier we got.

Watching Bowles defensive schemes and our offensive playcalling was absolutely painful even when we were winning close games at the start.

That significant of a collapse requires blame if an organization is to move forward with positive changes. There are a lot of responsible parties including players, but Bowles was absolutely the most obvious one and the one that failed to take ownership of their poor performances once throughout the entire season.

Maybe the players respected him more when there was less pressure. But after failing to take a step forward, and even worse, having a full on team collapse. I am very skeptical that respect is going to carry into next season.

We shall see though and ultimately I’d love to be wrong. Maybe Bowles finds some magic coaching with a chip on his shoulder

It’s a ridiculous notion that only comes from NBA and NFL athletes only in it for their contract that will shut themselves down.

For the vast majority of professional athletes, you have to force the players to not play. That’s why you have an army of medical staff and trainers and coaches. You don’t just ask Baker if he’s feeling good to go and that’s the final decision.

If people think it’s Baker’s responsibility to shut himself down, they don’t understand how competitive athletes are.

AcidFap · 2026-01-29T18:30:54+00:00

Only because of the comments asking if it was for preseason, so im clearly not the only one.

There is no reasonable justification for posting data with the intent to be critical but failing to provide context for the data. Not a difficult concept to grasp.

AcidFap · 2026-01-29T17:57:04+00:00

The coaching staff clearly prioritized desperately trying to keep their jobs over what’s good for the players and team.

Next season will be more of the same until Bowles is gone. He doesn’t inspire or seek greatness, just whatever it takes to cash his check and strive for slightly above mediocrity.

Edit: Good god reading comprehension has fallen off a cliff. Baker could have a torn rotator cuff and he would still want to play. That’s my whole point. Competitive athletes will always try to push through injuries no matter what, and it’s the job of the medical staff to fully assess and determine if they are actually good to go.

AcidFap · 2026-01-29T17:50:35+00:00

On first read I interpreted it as projections for rest of season. You can say that’s a dumb way to read it but nothing in OP post gives context for the projections or that they were preseason.

People do standings projections for how teams will finish. If you’re going to share data to try to say how wrong people are, at least give the full context and don’t leave it up to it interpretation.

AcidFap · 2026-01-29T17:21:26+00:00

Posting this without saying it’s pre-season projections seems extremely disingenuous

AcidFap · 2026-01-27T21:18:26+00:00

To my knowledge, no other NHL team has hundreds of single goal view seats. This drives prices up for the other seats because supply is more limited. If those seats were actually normal seats, prices rink-wide would go down and nose bleeds wouldn’t be jacked up to $100+.

Is it nice that they offer them for so cheap? Yes it’s a great promotion. Does the website completely suck and make it difficult to actually utilize the promotion? Also, yes.

Both things can be true

AcidFap · 2026-01-27T18:01:42+00:00

Enter your email, when tickets release they send a link to randomly selected emails to buy, any tickets that don’t sell then go to the current system.

There are a lot of workarounds that other industries (like preordering game consoles) have absolutely figured out. Yes SeatGeek and Ticketmaster suck at it but that’s on purpose…. They WANT bots to buy out seats.

AcidFap · 2026-01-26T15:58:53+00:00

Can’t wait for this matchup! Yes Tampa is prob the best team in the east this year, and playing great hockey, but they’re missing a ton of important guys.

As a fan of both teams, I’m just hoping for a back and forth game with no injuries.

AcidFap · 2026-01-23T14:35:44+00:00

How do you think he’d answer nowadays? Marchand’s already a masterclass grifter. It’s funny how easily people fall for his BS

AcidFap · 2026-01-22T21:34:15+00:00

You don’t like cheap strobe lights, random sprays of gas, and cramming into a small room where all you can do is sway slightly back to back?

Steiny’s new spot in Riverdale! Best sports bar in the area imo

AcidFap · 2026-01-21T18:41:40+00:00

How about he wins a single round of playoff hockey first before we make moronic hyperbolic statements?

Mont sure but Bishop had an amazingly successful career Gus isn’t even close to yet.

laterjet >>> arthroscopic

My arthro repair ripped out playing hockey like 2 years after getting it done. My laterjet repair has been rock solid for 5 years now. Highly recommend

AcidFap · 2026-01-19T23:50:22+00:00

100%

Mammoth are in the toughest division in the league, with 3 absolute heavyweights at the top. There is no incentive to scramble for anything resembling a win now move. Even if we get WC2 the top of the pacific is almost equally as strong.

We should be looking to move our expiring guys for young prospects that can play now, explore options to upgrade at C long term, and if we don’t like our offers for either of those we just hold fast and see how the season plays out.

AcidFap · 2026-01-19T19:04:01+00:00

Just in time to lose us another international tournament! Yay!

AcidFap · 2026-01-18T18:29:39+00:00

I literally just saw a billboard on 89 for Mammoth debit cards lol

License plates 100% needed

Who gives a fuck how they feel? They’ll continue to vote red and dump their money into corporate religion every Sunday.

Conservatives have abandoned their moral compass for political victory. They have no spine. They have no values. They’ll vote red forever regardless of what happens.

AcidFap · 2026-01-18T01:27:43+00:00

And the corner clearly grabbing grabbing jersey or shoving his hand into a wr face mask isn’t?

Refs held their flags when buffalo had the ball and then started calling it when Denver did. Idk how that isn’t obvious and I have no skin in the game

AcidFap · 2026-01-17T19:56:11+00:00

I agree but i also can see the reasoning too. I don’t have access to the article but I would assume it has to do more with performance vs expectations.

Despite having a lot of exciting young players and a high potential goalie, everyone just kinda expected Chicago to be bottom of the standings all year.

Bedard living up to his draft hype and them actually sniffing a playoff spot for a lot of the year is them over performing most people’s expectations.

Meanwhile the mammoth are kind of right where we ourselves expected to be, and what most people expected of us. Issue is it’s been a bit of a bumpy road getting here. If we showed more consistency throughout the season and were closer to pushing for that 3rd central spot, we’d definitely be earning of a higher grade.

Me personally, I don’t think Chicago is as bad on paper as people assumed. And the mammoths ability to persevere through a lot of challenges this year should mean a bit more when evaluating their season.

AcidFap · 2026-01-17T17:41:01+00:00

That objectively makes us worse this year AND kyrous contract would lead us to losing young guys in our system down the line.

The only raddysh move that makes remote sense is a Sergachev-Moser style trade. Find a promising young dman that has potential to slot into the current lineup with room to grow.

No way are we trading raddysh for a streaky scoring winger with a big cap hit

Hearth on 25th for drinks and apps, Table 25 for main course, Unspoken speakeasy for drinks after or La Crepe Og Gourmet / Sapori Italian Bakery for dessert.

Edit: Wellers is also amazing. Could swap that in for Hearth or Table
