  1. That brings me to a good point I believe in. If you're not in the puck possession game, you're not In the game. Good teams control the puck. Our coach advocates that, that's why I like him. And that's why I jump in those who disagree, not saying u can't thou

    Buffalo to retire Hasek's number

    Agreed to an extent. It just irks me how ppl hated on having a Hasek/Osgood tandem. Half the leagues other teams would pray for a tandem like that back in the day. Evan at their age. Wings fans were always the most critical.
  3. Ok I think you're hearing me incorrectly. I translate soccer game to "puck possession game" bc that's what soccer and we do. So when someone says our soccer game isn't working, I hear puck possession game is not working for us. Which as u know by now I disagree with In your OP (that I responded to) u didn't mention GF at all... This isn't hard, don't let kip fight ur battles for u
  4. Low scoring approach? Not sure any team advocates that I wouldn't call any of those team run and gun offense, maybe Tampa and Ny, but they've turned corners recently. The real contenders: LA CHI BOS etc are all high possession teams. I know what GF means, hence why I referenced it and the fact that my original point had nothing to do with it.
  5. I'm not saying that at all. I'm saying calling Babcocks system a soccer system is dumb. Not sure what either you or I stated has to do with GF but ok
  6. So you'd rather we be a run and gun team? The type that never wins cups?

  9. Can't win em all boys. Teams played great. Howard played great. Still unbeaten in regulation. Let's regroup for the next bout.

    I don't think he was ever bad here. Average/acceptable but not outstanding, sure. But not like some complained about him. EDIT I also think Osgood deserves more credit than most give him EDIT 2 he was also way past his primeyears those seasons, I thought ppl had unrealistic expectations, and despite that he still played pretty good
  11. well we are still unbeaten in regulation
  12. That Dats hit, what else am I missing?
  13. Am I the only one who thinks the refs have been fair thus far? Sucky luck for us, but fair.

    And LGW still found things to be unhappy about. God for bid a goalie can't be #1 in the league night in and night out.
  15. Uh huh, and I've read 2.5. But just under 3 is a low ball right?
  16. Abby is a lot like Homer after all...
  17. I dunno about worst deal, but yeah Chia sucks right?
  18. Kronwall really has stepped up his O game in Lids absence.
  19. Not sure where you got that number from. Article said just under 3, and Babs asked for 3. EDIT: You want the team to throw even more than what Babcock is asking for at him, but then find a half a million difference to be a lot? I don't get it.

    Devils Sign Tootoo

    That video is the most upvoted hockey video on reddit, by far I believe. His back story really won me over. First pro Inuit. Inuit name translates to "Thunder". Eats like an only meat diet or something (I believe many inuits do). Overcame his brothers suicide. Overcame his own drug problems. Classy as all heck and fearless as all heck at just 5'9'. Hard not to like that guy.

    Damn. Too heavy for me man. Go toots. Wreck shop.
  22. They're not far off on financials or term at all. What makes you think they won't pay it? They're probably going to meet somewhere in the middle later this season. If the article said they were off by multiple terms and a lot of money I'd be preaching what you're saying... but they're not lol.
