My team is bad because we went from "Luongo/Schneider" to "Lack/Some dude we picked up at the airport that's clearly never played goal before"

JawKnee posted:He already talked about it last night too, during the Sharks/Kings game I think, said he wasn't trying to insinuate anything, although in his mind he wouldn't want a ref from [area] where a deciding game is taking place. Ron MacLean is an rear end and deserves the poo poo he got for saying that on air. Also, Bishop didn't play in the series due to a dislocated elbow. It's quite difficult to dislocate your elbow.

Austrian mook posted:Yeah but they went from bottom 6 in the NHL to 2nd and 1st in the West, that's a pretty dramatic change. Counter point: You could have put an actual duck in the head coach's role in Anaheim and seen a dramatic improvement over Randy Carlyle.

Hand Knit posted:Relatedly, apparently at some point in the season Rielly and Gardiner made a pact to simply ignore Carlyle and invent their own plays/systems. This is of course the point where they really started to look standout-good on the Leafs, and they actually posted a 54.6% corsi together which, in the context of the team, is kind of incredible. And the late second-rounders that Nonis gets for each of them are going to be so awesome *ducks*
