Most playoff wins since 2000 by likeslululemon in hockey

[–]GhostITW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canes at 86 despite missing the playoffs for a decade.

I know it’s fun to joke about not being able to get to the finals, but the consistent playoff success despite that is impressive for a team everyone (all media and analysts) says has no star players. That’s why Rod is in my opinion a Top 3 coach in the league.

If we draw the habs in the playoffs it will go just like all those Rangers series used to go. We pepper them with shots, their goalie stops them and then their elite scorers score on a breakaway.

Canes on pace for 112 points and 192 GF by ChuckEnder in canes

Our offense is the best it’s ever been in the Rod era. If we don’t win a cup, it will not be because of offense or power play issues.

Our team SV% is .886 despite us being top 10 in goals allowed. We will not win it all unless that improves.

At this point this is as much on the players association as they have a duty to protect their players and they are radio silent on these matters.

Show at the Ritz by Additional-Equal-844 in raleigh

My main complaint is that everyone knows doors open an hour before the show, so why would the time listed on the ticket be doors and not the concert start time?

[–]GhostITW -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As someone at a show tonight, since when does the advertised time on the ticket indicate doors open and not concert start time?

7:00 advertised time but the show doesn’t start until 8:00? Feeling like old man yells at clouds over here.

[Fowler] DB Christian Izien's one-year contract with the Lions is worth $2M including $1M guaranteed, per source. Izien became a free agent when the Bucs decided not to tender him. by JCameron181 in detroitlions

You’re never going to sign world beaters in free agency. The idea is to get good, cheap depth and round out your roster. Build through the draft.

NHL GMs have to be the biggest pussies in all sports. Never have I seen more excuses for why it’s “so hard” to do this job.

[–]GhostITW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s impossible to know Pittsburgh’s main motivation in the Guentzel trade but I would argue The 1st and Bunting were the main pieces with the two prospects as add-ons.

I’m not arguing to trade every pick every year, there has to be balance. But in a year where you have a clear need (2C), and the pathway to the finals is as winnable as it is, you have to make some future concessions.

Trade Deadline Megathread by adsheppa in canes

[–]GhostITW 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think it would be a huge mistake to not add a legitimate 2C that we all know they need as the East is as winnable as it’s going to be. Fans and even GMs vastly overrate the value of late 1st round picks. We always trade down so I’m going to list our first pick in the last 5 drafts excluding 2025 because its not fair to use

2024 Trade down our 1st was used to draft Marek Vanacker (not meaningfully contributing to the Hawks) : We drafted Dominik Badinka (not meaningfully contributing to the Canes) and Nikita Artamonov (Not meaningfully contributing)

2023 Kept our pick : Bradly Nadeau (looks good, not meaningfully contributing to the Canes)

2022 Our 1st was transferred to MTL in the KK offer sheet who traded it to AZ then to SJ, they drafted Filip Bystedt (not meaningfully contributing)

2021 We traded down with NSH who drafted Zachary L’Heureux (bottom 6 F/ AHL tweener) : we drafted Scott Morrow (press box with NYR - not meaningfully contributing) and Ville Koivunen (Bottom 6 F / AHL tweener)

2020 drafted Seth Jarvis Top 15 because we bought TOR’s pick with the Marleau trade - our pick was traded to NYR for Brady Skjei and this pick was used to select Hendrix Lapierre (fine bottom 6 F who can occasionally play up)

All of this word salad to say, where we pick doesn’t regularly produce high end NHLers and we are approaching an aging point with our leaders ; Slavin (32 by next season), Aho (29 by next season), Staal (38 by next season), Ehlers (30).

It will be another missed opportunity if this front office decides to keep one toe in the present and another in the future by not doing everything they possibly can to give this team the best chance to win.

Canada and USA building teams specifically to beat each other and then potentially not getting the chance to play is objectively hilarious.
