The case of “what have you done for me lately”. Chief seems like a great old school guy. But I think those types of coaches are running their course. Players no longer want to be yelled at, or confronted like they used to. I’m not saying I agree with it. It’s just the way she goes. I’m sure Berube will get another kick at it. He does have a Cup ring to his name!!!

Watching Colorado smoke the Sabres in the 1st period anyway and if it isn’t Darren Pang as the color guy.

Not sure what they need. I know they’ve had a few injuries, but I believe the problem is coaching. I watched like 5-6 of their games at the end of last year and a few this year. They just don’t play defense. They try to outscore their opponents. Watch that team with the empty net. All 5 guys try to get the goal and they get scored on more times than not!!!

I only have watched the one period and Buffalo is indeed missing something. They have a lot of “talent” but it doesn’t seem to come together. Of course Avs in Denver is not a cake walk.

Vasilevsky stopped 50 out of 54 shots tonight from Oilers and Lightning manage a win. What a boost to a team to have a top flight goalie.

Those reporters are absolutely insane. He says “I can see you’re getting emotional, what emotions are you feeling?”. I thought he was going to have a little humility and say “I can see you’re getting emotional, we’ll leave it at that, thanks for your time”.
I hope he doesn’t give those pricks anymore than he has too. I’d actually rather pay the fine than talk to them again!!!

Sabres score 4 3rd period goals in Vegas to win 5-2. Such an up and down league sometimes.

Sabres score 4 3rd period goals in Vegas to win 5-2. Such an up and down league sometimes. couple days prior the leafs were down 0-5 after 2 periods at home to the jackets and scored 5 unanswered to tie it, including 2 goals in the last 75 seconds. unfortunately, if you're a leafs' fan, they lost in o/t but nevertheless an epic comeback to earn a point at least.

The winged wheel fuckin sucks. Kane hasn’t helped them at all. They have 1 win with him in like 8 games. They gave up on the rebuild and went the UFA route for quick results and they’ve failed. Again. I’m not saying they don’t have any decent players coming. But they have no stars. I still believe they’ll be in full rebuild mode in 4 years time. This ain’t gonna work!!!

What about Seider and Raymond? Seider is a #2. But even his skating looks suspect. I’ve watched like 4 games to see how Kane’s been. And that team sucks. Slow and no toughness. Raymond is probably gonna be a 60 point guy. Maybe better if he gets to play with high end guys. But where are they getting them? Even Dcat, he’s looking like a one trick pony. He’s just a guy on the pp. a poor man’s Ovechkin. Larkin will be that 60-70 point guy. He’s no number 1 centerman. A great number 2. My question is this. What are they building? A Cup contender or just to sneak in the playoffs and hopefully win a round? Cuz that team as it sits, is NOT going to be a contender. I do not want the Hawks to take that route. Even Kane looks like he doesn’t fully trust the hip. And at his age, that’s not a great sign. He doesn’t have a year to see if he can make it work. I hope he makes it work. And at least can get 50-60 points a year and catch up to Modano. But part of those records is the endurance. Can you last to get it. OV looks like he’s breaking down. I doubt he gets better next year. He’s at 13 straight with out a goal now!!!

Seider and Raymond are both going to need a raise (a big one for Seider) next summer, but otherwise they will have a decent amount of space left to to add pieces. they have some more youngsters coming as well. that being said, they are definitely lacking a big star or two. their poor luck in the lotto is hurting them.

They don’t have the pieces to be successful. Right now, Seider is the only one I see as looking to be really good. Raymond may only be a 40-50 point guy. Never know. They just can’t keep trying to spend their way out of it. Eventually all those 4 year deals end. I see them in 4 years time having another rebuild. It’s probably not gonna work unless they’re the 9th worst team and win the lotto or however much you’re allowed to move up!!!

I think they'll get better over the next 2-3 years, to the point that they are in the playoffs and at least semi-contending in the East, but I don't see them getting to the promised land without them adding a bonafide star at some point. make no mistake, though, they are not a finished product as yet.

They are not 11 players signed and 30 mil to spend they gotta sign Seider they will have money for one big fish. This year has been a big step back but been this way for the last 3 years end of the day not good enough. I like the players they brought in but as T said on a Cup team they are 3rd liners. No real top end talent after Larkin

Being the 'kiss of death' I am,I've never posted comments on Detroit's 5-1-0 and 6-1-0 streaks earlier this year and you know what......nobody else mentioned em either. Now here we are doing an autopsy on a team that's two points out of a spot and four out of 2nd in their division with 50 games to go.
Their play the last two weeks with Larkin out for most of it to injury,Perron out from suspension and now two GT's down proves what? Steve Yzerman's plan just won't work? His results in Tampa were an aberration?
22yro Seider's had seasons of 50 and 42pts and is on pace for 13/49.......This 6'3" 200lb+ D-man isn't top end talent? 21yro Raymond's coming off seasons of 23/57 82gns and 17/45 74gms and tracking for 26/62 this year.......3rd liner?
25yro DeBrincat will flirt with 40 again this year but he's not top end talent either? The 'one trick pony' only scores goals but somehow has as many assists as goals in his career so far.
Kane's got 2/6 through 8gms,he's been seeing big minutes and he says he feels better than he has in years but the great cup winning champion still has a lot to prove as far as durability. He's Detroit's 'problem' now anyway......Jr kicked his ass out!
Detroit's system is also still loaded with high end prospects and maybe Stevie Y's draft acumen will equal that of our geniuses.......who knows?

hagel just being hagel.
haymakers galore.
hagel's got good numbers again this year...10g, 18a in 34 games.
but in the last 13 games he's got just 6 assists. more than likely the longest goal-less streak of his young career.
edit: he had a 13 game goal-less streak with tampa last year and a 15 gamer with chicago at the beginning of the 20/21 season.

3g, 4a in his last 8 periods.
edit: shootout winner as well.
