Canucks play the Leafs again today. One more blow out should spell the end of Benning's tenure, so if you ever wanted to go hog wild Toronto, tonight's the night.

They'll rattle off three in a row and everyone will pretend it's fine that this team somehow came out of a rebuild as a capped out also ran.

Let the Leafs win tonight, but close so Benning keeps his job a bit, then the Canucks spank Calgary a bunch so that Eric Francis has to say its the end of the line for Brad Treiliving AND THEN the Canucks death spiral and Benning is fired.

Mitch Marner is currently the most played forward wat *nearly* 23 minutes a night. Conor McDavid and Mark Scheifele about :30 behind at 22:30.

Marner's ice time so far is funny because the Leafs cannot stop taking penalties and the Leafs didn't acquire any good PKers in the offseason so Keefe's throwing him out on 5 on 3s and poo poo Also this quote is funny as hell https://twitter.com/kristen_shilton/status/1358815596184535041?s=20 "I have to look closely at this guy because at first glance it appears that he sucks"

N:quote:The league, it turns out, never actually upheld the “good goal” ruling. They were still in the process of reviewing the play when the wrong information was passed along to NHL referee Ghislain Hebert, who then announced that the goal would stand, according to executive vice president and director of hockey operations, Colin Campbell. quote:But under the NHL’s COVID protocols, the penalty-box official is charged with sterilizing the headsets before they can be worn by somebody else, and he began doing this immediately as the officials skated away to announce their ruling. https://theathletic.com/2374438/2021/02/08/miscommunication-explained-how-chaos-led-to-botched-call-against-blue-jackets/ V: May I suggest this musical pairing with your reading of the article? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnHmskwqCCQ  (If you like league schadenfreude, Colin Campbell was watching this game and poo poo his pants when he saw what was going on.)

Just curious why Treiliving should go? He’s made good moves and beats the poo poo moves that a ton of other GM’s have made. He’s done some lovely deals too, (Neal was bad, the trade for Lucic I think was honestly fine, not a downgrade or upgrade) but overall generally has managed to keep the team pretty competitive. The real problem is the players not always seeming to want to play a full game of hockey, which there’s blame all around on that one. At least he’s not signing poo poo goalies to big contracts, as I look at Edmonton paying Koskinen 4.5 million.

The high scoring games this season have been pretty fun to watch so put a bad goalie in every net. Well, the games for teams I don't give a gently caress about.

This is a weird take given that over the past 2 seasons, Koskinen has put up better numbers than Mike Smith. Koskinen is bad when he's forced to play a bunch of games in a row (which is currently the case this season), whereas Mike Smith is just always bad.

Yes Mike Smith is worse, but its not like Koskinen is anything better than like 30th best goaler in the league provided he gets enough rest and the moon strikes right and he doesn't have to use his glove or cover posts.

The real problem is the players not always seeming to want to play a full game of hockey, which there’s blame all around on that one. He's been mediocre as a GM, and that roster doesn't really have room to grow unless all their prospects pan out. They have 15million to sign 10 players next year. That roster is a win now roster in terms of age and contract structure and well, that team isn't winning much.

Yes Koskinen is marginally better. Yes Mike Smith is also funner to watch, cause if the Oilers are gonna be bad, gimme all the drat chaos instead of Koskinen getting beat clean again.

Ken Holland does not like to pay players to play the goaler position so the best he can do every year is Mike Smith. (also chiarelli turbo hosed the roster and this coming offseason is the first time its free of a pile of poo poo garbage contracts)

Aphrodite posted:You left out a pretty important and funny part. Someone's getting fired e: Koskinen is the goalie that SKA played over Shesterkin as their #1 in the playoffs and slightly more of the regular season starts. He was good in the KHL but he was also a vet and it feels like young guys with potential have a better time adapting coming over to the NHL than older guys Levitate fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Feb 8, 2021 |

Eric the Mauve posted:Have AV teams always also had problems with always parking the Zamboni with a third period lead and being really bad at it and blowing a lot of third period leads? It's kind of been a Flyers thing since long before AV got there, but I also feel like I remember it being an issue with his previous teams too? This was standard for the Canucks under AV with a lead in the 3rd. Zero effort to get into the offensive zone. Dump the puck and retreat.

That worked for the Canucks largely because of the Sedins. They’d poach a few in the third to the chagrin of every one else in the Northwest division.

To be fair I think that strategy in general was a lot more popular ten years ago than it is now. Most coaches have wised up. At least in the regular season. When the game is tied in the third period, however, is when we get treated to ultraconservative, ultraboring hockey. No one would ever take even the tiniest risk of losing that sweet, sweet loser point.

The Flyers are still VERY dump-in heavy as entries go, but they've combined that with quick rushes in alongside it. It's worked very well when they lean on it, especially against a team like the Islanders that do everything they can to jam up the neutral zone and cause turnovers. Unrelated, this is very cool: https://twitter.com/domluszczyszyn/status/1358863497132711940

It seems like no matter what two-axis chart you dream up, the Penguins will always be way out in a corner of it by themselves. e: I wonder if you studied it if you'd find that teams coached by old guys are likelier to play dump 'n chase than teams with younger coaches.

^ Fuuu... I knew 9 were on the list, I didn't know it was all positive test results.Eric the Mauve posted:It seems like no matter what two-axis chart you dream up, the Penguins will always be way out in a corner of it by themselves. It's fascinating seeing MN so far out in a corner too. High possession is good, and they get the puck up the ice fast these days too. It's rare that I watch a game and see them getting stuck in the D zone, so that's going the right direction. They still do better in 1 goal games and really aren't looking like they're just going to out score opponents for a while if ever.
