Mind_Taker posted:Adam Oates went on Wyshynski's podcast yesterday and was talking about the "dangers of puck possession". His argument was that it was dangerous to possess the puck so much because you take more hits and therefore get more injuries. I think this is a courageous moral stance by Oates, to say that hockey is just a game and we should not sacrifice our well-being for the profit of abstract corporate entities. Winning a game, after all, is only winning a game.

For a player with the assist totals of Oates you think possession would be intuitive for him. I don't think a former player has gone from hero to zero without criminal proceedings like Oates has for me.

Furnaceface posted:The Holmgren Legacy Umberger is like that very first bad move to remind you that all GMs are human. I still see what he was trying to do (well, undo, because again, Homer), but boy howdy did it not work out even slightly Oh well, rip the band-aid off and all that, maybe having a salary cap effectively $10m less than the rest of the league will teach the front office a lesson Maybe

Philly's contract situation is so terrible it's easier to blame sabotage than incompetence, that much is certain. Edit: At what point do you spend more of Snyder's money and eat the traditional buyout cap hits, if it really will make your roster better?

I think the Oilers have actually killed my enjoyment of hockey this season. They're so bad (and seem to be actively getting worse + ruining their rookies) that I'm not even interested in watching actual good teams play.

Anders posted:How did Wyshynski react? I didn't actually listen to it, I just read some Twitter comments about it. Oates always preached "territory" over "possession", i.e. when you get the puck dump it into the offensive zone, and then retreat like poo poo to your own defensive zone so the other team doesn't score! And then hope to hell for some fluky penalty against the other team so Ovie can hit a dinger. The Dirty Burger posted:Methot returns tonight, and Karlsson's out Wait what? Is Karlsson injured?

If the power isn't fully restored at the Joe by 3:30 or so, the game will be postponed. It would take at least that long to fully set up the arena for the game tonight, especially the catering.

They're all second round picks (Jarry/Comrie/Fucale) -- is winning the U18 really enough to get you picked over a guy who has posted a career CHL .920+ and just won the Memorial Cup man Canada can be dumber than DeBoer when it comes to team selection he already sucked vs. Finland last year surely they remember that
