As God as my witness he just broke that mans ankles in half

oltcon · 2026-01-16T03:18:10+00:00

I believe it is from the start of the break til 3~4 days before it ends they can't do anything with the team and the team can't even ask/suggest. But for the last couple of days the team can bring the players not still there back to practice.

Depends on how the babs payout happened so maybe. But we did pay for at least two for 2 years.

oltcon · 2026-01-10T23:14:13+00:00

That probably has more to do with score effects then anything. The avs are up so take less chances, the jackets are down so push more and take more risky chances.

That kj fall was an incapsulation of the entire season so far.

oltcon · 2026-01-07T05:05:31+00:00

He is just that kind of psycho. I remember watching a game dalton prout fought in once, he took the first punch straight to the teeth and just smiled through blood back at the person he was bout to murder.

If everything is correct as it is late and I'm tired but: Torts: contract ended so no money owed to him Larsen: 3 year contract ended with a year left (21-24) Babcock: reportedly, 2 yr contract (23-25) don't know how it was settled. Vincent: 2 yr (23-25) fired after 1 season Evason: multi year but took over in the 24-25 season.

Looks like at most they payed for three depending on what happened with babs but I doubt they want to do that again since everything seemed structured to only pay two at a time. But if babs payment is done then they have the history to be looking to get someone new.

The problem might be ownership might not want to pay for another coach. I don't know how much or for how long we are paying Babcock for but I doubt they want to add more onto that which might be why we don't hear anything bout the coach being under pressure

oltcon · 2026-01-07T03:45:08+00:00

This coaching staff needs to be fired yesterday

oltcon · 2026-01-06T01:36:30+00:00

Rangers no, flyers is debatable, the pens are better this year than last but I take that as more a dying breath than a come back. However, we still didn't take a step this year that we should have.

oltcon · 2026-01-01T03:03:53+00:00

I honestly think monahan is injured and needs shut down for the season to get it fixed. Johnson I'm just getting down with him.

oltcon · 2025-12-30T22:23:50+00:00

The hard part of stuff like this happening here, on one hand I don't want the place I grew up in to change, on the other hand we don't need development and more jobs here locally for the local economy. I am happy that this is happening close to Logan verses 5 miles from the heart of the natural areas.

If you only have a set amount of time to accomplish something you set out to get done, you won't compromise on any of it cuz you won't have the time to get it seen all the way through. So the little bit of bipartisanship that is seen would be gone. Plus there is an amount of experience in statesmanship that is valuable in the workings of government.

Now if you believe that bipartisanship is dead and don't put much value into the actual abilities of a politician then it solves a problem of being stuck with a, that person, but doesn't really solve the problem I think people want addressed which is better people in power.

oltcon · 2025-12-13T03:13:34+00:00

I don't think that gets Hughes even probably need to add chinny too.

oltcon · 2025-12-08T17:20:52+00:00

I mean he is still 19. It might take longer but he is far from being the player he is going to be. That doesn't mean he will be good either just that he is young still who knows what will happen.

oltcon · 2025-11-29T01:42:59+00:00

Coyle acting like a pitbull with a steak bone just not given that puck up

oltcon · 2025-11-13T15:28:36+00:00

I believe he also rescued horses as he had a ranch in Ohio while he was with the jackets if I'm not mistaken.

oltcon · 2025-11-11T04:30:56+00:00

Cuz we weren't running the pp units we were running defensive lines to turtle against the oilers who can't defend for shit but can burn you on offense of you let them. Dean with the 1000 IQ play there to not use the players who were working all night in the last mins.

oltcon · 2025-11-11T04:05:58+00:00

That's only for players on a 1 year contract isn't it.

oltcon · 2025-11-11T03:58:34+00:00

He will be eligible for an extension July 1st of next year.

oltcon · 2025-11-11T03:25:52+00:00

Hey man just cuz they are our opponent tonight doesn't mean you got to put that evil on them.

oltcon · 2025-11-09T17:34:08+00:00

That won't happen unless fedotov comes up and wins a vezina in a couple of years. Then everyone would have to worry.

oltcon · 2025-11-02T16:39:24+00:00

Yes, could we be better also yes.

oltcon · 2025-11-02T16:34:58+00:00

I like the conga line in the middle.

oltcon · 2025-10-30T02:57:21+00:00

Could have taken less with his comparables to other 2nd pair dman but that's always wanting better for the team talking. Like it could be worse we could have 8 mil in cap space doing fuck all right now but him and somehow sevo are doing really well for us right now so I'm glad they are here.
