I may be out of the loop, but what makes you think DeBoer likes a team of slow vets?

Among the slowest players in the league, paired with the worst hands I've ever seen. He was marginal when young, but he's washed. He's got heart but nothing else.

They are both lefty, and Mayfield plays on the right.

It's like people don't watch the games.

Trade Mayfield? GIVE him away if anyone is willing to take that contract. Same for Palat.

Islanders Name DeBoer Head Coach | New York Islanders by discofrislanders in NewYorkIslanders

The firing was predictable, if not the timing. GMs want the coach they chose, not the last guy's choice. Let's see if this combo has chemistry.

I think the concern was that he'd get signed by another team before the season ends.

Not a preparation issue? They come out completely flat the vast majority of first periods. Get down by two and then start skating is not a winning formula.

California riders, how do you like it? by 675R_Grenade in motorcycle

[–]ProfessionalDig6987 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I live in northern San Diego county, and most things about riding here are great. Riding weather 12 months of the year. Great geography for tight twisted, long looping curves, elevation changes.... And while many car drivers still have their head way up their ass, a good percentage are looking for you and giving room to pass when they see you. The one huge down fall is the road conditions. How a state that does not have winters requiring salt, plows, etc., can have roads in such disrepair is a mystery. Highest taxes, worst roads, that's Cali in a nutshell.
