Still pissed at nill for passing on him

Yeah. I'm happy they won the Cup and love the team but they are really loving bad and I want them to improve, apparently that is not OK? The worst part is they're bad because of Doug Armstrong's boneheaded decision-making w/r/t letting Pietrangelo go in favor of signing a bunch of bad defensemen. They're also going to be bad because of the unnecessary contracts given out to: Faulk (extension signed after like 5 GP and shut the door on Pietrangelo being able to re-sign), Binnington, and Krug.

I meant that you sucked Lol, j/k ur a good poster

It's like bitching about that awful binnington contract. It's terrible and funny to see and I'd hate it on my team but, uh, he helped get that cup and for many of us that's a once in a lifetime (if ever) so, uh, yeah give him all the money who cares.

But I see where you're coming from. Sucks to see a team that should be good be real bad.

So what's funnier: Hall going to like the Pens or Colorado and putting up crazy numbers or putting up the same stat line he's been making GBS threads out all season?


Also, I watched the lat few game throughout and the Stars are... getting better? They're still pretty good in their own end and are surviving the Oittenger show and guys like hints and Robertson are playing lights out. Miro still seems off/hurt and the D could contribute more overall but they haven't look as completely lost as they did early in the season. That said, I'm 100% sure they're about to go on a Bowness special 10 game skid so it's all moot. Still, last two weeks they've looked somewhere between "not wholly terrible" and "uh, maybe a bit good?". :iiam:

Anyway, I think the nail on the head is they look like they never stopped playing (in a bad way). But I've seen some light these last couple weeks, so hopefully some of the underlying goodness will shine. And some of these kids are gonna be studs (I also Stan for Robertson).

Truly I'm just loving worried Hintz is pushing himself through something he shouldn't. If he's about to turn a corner in his career I don't want him to gently caress it up trying to will a first round exit into happening.

Yeah, that's a fair concern. Seguin probably hosed himself long term by playing through so much in the playoffs.

Oh, I know America is a poo poo show but the biggest kid on the block gets to take what they want, unfortunately. Just if before the seasons started you called an entire team getting mega covid and another probably about to go down to a similar fate, I'd have guessed the central. Texas, Floridas, and a Carolina?

Oleksiak is quietly a good value D, in the higher echelon of defensive metrics. If he's played in a bottom pair role, he'll be just fine.

Post all the heat maps you want he's not very good. Fine on the pk and bottom minutes but every coach seems to need him to play 20+ a night against good opponents. If he's gone I won't miss him, regardless of the return.

How about a guy who is really bad at transition and joining the offence but loves to do it anyway? Again, if you put him on the pk and 15 mins a night against not the top line and he stays in his own end he's fine but with the Stars he's invariably been a top minutes defender.

I hope he fetched more than Hall lol




Okay, fine his goal in the finals and that feed to Perry was pretty sweet but he's still not v good.

I'm sure our well respected scouting department will choose some great players in the draft with these picks! And then properly develop them like all of our other prospects!
