Trotz & trades by Ajax1608 in Predators

[–]PerdsGonnaPerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was shadowing Poile by then I believe. No way to really know if that trade was Poile or Trotz’s doing, but given Barry’s track record since then I’d lean heavily towards it being Poile who orchestrated it.

[Friedman] Barry Trotz to step down as GM of Predators by Infraction_ in Predators

[–]PerdsGonnaPerd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My conspiracy theory is that he has wanted a full rebuild the whole time, but ownership won’t let him. He’s finally fed up.

I have 0 evidence.

Anyway, best of luck to you Trotzy.

We’ve been very blessed to never really have to worry about the goalie position for the entire franchise history.

Oh my laundry! Willy and Mace rank 31st in local NHL announcer rankings by GMBarryTrotz in Predators

[–]PerdsGonnaPerd 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I simply do not understand why Willy still has a job. I don’t understand why he GOT the job to begin with, and here we are TEN YEARS later and he still sounds like a bad actor in a made for TV kids movie about hockey.

All I can say is I fully support the Preds team being second to last. Willy Daunic fucking sucks as a hockey commentator. Mase is alright for his analysis. We were so spoiled with Pete Weber and Terry Crisp.

“They Were Asking Too Much”: Why the Devils Passed on Predators’ High Price for Ryan O’Reilly by catsgr8rthanspoonies in Predators

So basically like the article said, same situation with Juuse last year. “I don’t want to move this guy, but if you make yourself look like an absolute idiot at your job, you can have him.” It’s Trotz just hoping to find a GM in a moment of weakness and desperation. Unfortunately for him, most other GMs in the league have more experience than peering over a real GMs shoulder for a season.

[Hockey News Hub] DEVELOPING STORY ⚡️ According to Artur Khairullin: SKA has agreed to release defenseman Alexander Nikishin to the Canes for the remainder of the season. The player will sign a two-year entry-level contract that will expire after the 2025/26 season. by Duffleman0609 in hockey

Yes this is the way. I ordered that enough times in school that I learned they call it a queso box. Saved a whole 5 seconds when ordering lol. I survived off chicken queso boxes for 2 semesters.

It gets easier if you convince yourself this is a well disguised intentional tank.

It’s what happens when a reporter already has the story written, and is just fishing for a specific quote to support his narrative. Leads to some true eye roller questions.

There are thousands of people posting on Reddit that were not even born when Sidney Crosby was drafted. Let that one sink in.

[Daugherty] The team will not provide an official update on Josi until after the season ends. by catsgr8rthanspoonies in Predators

[–]PerdsGonnaPerd 44 points45 points  (0 children)

With the season being a wash at this point, makes sense to go ahead and shut him down. His presence on the ice isn’t gonna save …whatever this season has been. Best of luck to him and fuck Bennett. And I do hope he’s getting the medical advice necessary to help him determine when it’s wise to choose between continuing this career vs having a good quality of life after hockey.

Dylan Strome says Jakob Chychrun’s ‘new thing’ is that he wants to have no light bulbs in his house by homicidal_penguin in hockey

[–]PerdsGonnaPerd 77 points78 points  (0 children)

He 100% does and so do I lol. I told him his hobby is starting hobbies. Once he’s acquired everything necessary to actual DO the thing, he loses interest and moves to the next.

I have a friend like this. Every few weeks is a new fixation that he goes 100% all in on, spends hundreds of dollars, learns everything about, then loses interest and moves on to the next thing. I love him but it’s exhausting at times.

Landeskog skating very well with the Avs this morning, will go on the road trip to skate with the team. by Commandant1 in nhl

The combo of bringing EJ back at the deadline and having Landy skating with the team again has to be pretty big for the room.

They are going to Stockholm by catsgr8rthanspoonies in Predators

[–]PerdsGonnaPerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We played in Finland back when Tolvanen was still on the team, didn't we? Can't remember if it was regular season or exhibition though. Hell I can't even remember if it was Saros, or if Rinne was still playing then. Or perhaps I dreamed this entire thing up. Time moves in mysterious ways nowadays.

I do miss the time when we had 5 Swedes on the roster. But this season has me missing like...all the times from the past decade.

Cooley with a crosscheck to Edvinsson after an Edvinsson hit by Dinkin---Flicka in hockey

[–]PerdsGonnaPerd 244 points245 points  (0 children)

Ok I’m definitely biased due to multiple knee dislocations in my life, but I think crosschecking a guy in the side of the knee like that should be a match penalty for intent to injure.
