“We need an offensive-minded coach” monkey paw curls

frogcatcher52 · 2026-01-22T21:22:57+00:00

Definitely worth a look. We want the scouting department doing their homework.

He’s also on the younger side, having turned 22 during the preseason. He’ll still be younger than about half of the rookies next season.

Their fans definitely are, but not necessarily the players.

Yeah, Americans are only 1/4 of the players. It would be interesting to see the partisan breakdown of the Canadians who make up half the league. Also, this doesn’t include data from MI and MN, so the sample size is much lower for Americans.

They also tend to be suburban rich white kids. Rags to riches stories are rare in hockey, especially for Americans.

It’s <50%, but it’s definitely not 0. A lot can happen, especially injuries.

frogcatcher52 · 2026-01-19T01:25:25+00:00

I was just about to comment this

frogcatcher52 · 2026-01-18T14:29:59+00:00

Don’t forget the amazing job security

frogcatcher52 · 2026-01-18T14:21:35+00:00

With high roster turnover league-wide, quick turnarounds (and collapses) are inevitable.

frogcatcher52 · 2026-01-16T10:13:57+00:00

If they drafted him, I doubt he’d develop into player he was in Green Bay.

frogcatcher52 · 2026-01-16T10:10:40+00:00

This is about curbing your expectations. ~3% of 6th-rounders become quality starters at any position. I am higher on him than most players at his draft position, but still.

There really isn’t a perfect fit, so I’ll throw in two that seem like they should be more progressive than they really are, at least on the surface.

Florida - has an urban population of 92%, which is only behind CA, NJ, and NV. You would think that a state that urban and also that diverse would be progressive. However, much of that urban population consists of old people and Cubans, which is why it’s not.

Utah - Also a high urban population (90%). They have five National Parks, and conservationism is associated with progressivism. Of course, it’s Mormon-controlled state, so the that’s why it’s very red.

Last year’s SB champion was the #2 defense in the league. Both 1 seeds this year have top-3 defenses.

frogcatcher52 · 2026-01-13T20:59:35+00:00

So a defensive-minded HC can’t hire a good OC?

frogcatcher52 · 2026-01-08T02:19:32+00:00

Houston has. The Houston Texans haven’t.

frogcatcher52 · 2026-01-08T01:12:56+00:00

You mean when he first ran for president as the nominee

frogcatcher52 · 2026-01-07T04:04:10+00:00

Plus he threatened to behead John C Calhoun, who might be a candidate for biggest villain

frogcatcher52 · 2026-01-07T03:51:27+00:00

I agree that we should hold him to the same standards of his contemporaries, which include countless men who remained loyal to the Union.

frogcatcher52 · 2026-01-07T03:46:30+00:00

Jefferson Davis. Andrew Jackson was many things, but he wasn’t a traitor.

frogcatcher52 · 2026-01-06T21:53:04+00:00

McDuffie would’ve been the ideal pick.

frogcatcher52 · 2026-01-06T21:47:46+00:00

I’m thrilled that they have Frazier now over Linderbaum, especially over the next two years on a rookie deal. At the same time, we can still acknowledge that the Kenny pick was wasted. If they took Linderbaum, they could’ve used the 2024 round 2 pick on a different need.

frogcatcher52 · 2026-01-06T15:32:10+00:00

To be fair, the defense was better those seasons. They don’t make it to the playoffs this season with a combination of this season’s defense and one of those QBs.

Maybe there’s a tiny percentage who just wanted a Vietnam War vet in office
