Post-Game Talk: WTF? Kane passes, Fatty McLargeass is solid: Jets Too Legit To Quit in Washington!

[wpgsilver]

I never knew he was the NHLPA "right hand man" until a few days ago, and I didn't care either. He's a key part of one of the worst D in the NHL last year, and it shows, sorry if he's your man.

I'm not predisposed to Ron one way or the other, I just try to watch objectively.

Where's garret when you need him.

It would be asking a lot of Redmond to log second pairing minutes. Even Stuart isn't well suited for the role that he's been forced into

Actually all evidence points to:
1) The D was not bad when all 4 top 4 were in. In fact Jets were top 15 in possesion, dimininishing chances, shots against/min, etc.
2) All evidence is Hainsey is the 4th best D we got... 3rd till Bogo gets back.
3) AHL is diff than NHL... Postma and Redmond would crash and burn given the same job.
4) If you want to ignore injuries: all.our top3 D were positive when with Hainsey (well Enstrom was - by a tiny bit but was still out-chancing his opponents) but all 3 top3 were - with Stuart (who I like but was a negative when in top 4)


Start rant:
I think Hainsey is far from perfect and in fact I'm a huge supporter of upgrading Hainsey... But it is ****ing ridiculous how much and how often he gets bashed for things that are COMPLETELY UNTRUE.
Last season Hainsey was given tougher matchups than ALL of our D except Enstrom and he was burried in defensive zone by how Noel deployed him more than any of our D or any of our forwards not in GST... Yet he still came out with a positive +/- and was *barely* out-chanced by the opposition. This season he's been given the task of filling Bogo's shoes while having Stuart (a good 3rd pairing D, but still a 3rd pairing D; OT but I was impressed with Stu on the Wash game) as his partner.
You want to be pissed at our poor GA or you have a preference of tough players... Fine, go ahead... But don't go off pointing blame at Hainsey because it wasn't him. If anything it was a combination of poor PK, Pavelec, disgusting team D due to no forward depth, and injuries that put 3rd pairing D in our top4.

It must be like Beetlejuice, say his name 3 times and there he is.

I could be in big trouble!

 

[Gm0ney]

I remember at one point last season, Toronto's chance of making the playoffs was 97% or thereabouts, per that website.

Then Toronto went on an epic losing streak - enough to drop them right out. What was their 2nd-half record last year? Didn't they lose 17 of 20 at one point? It was an almost unbelievable collapse. Hey, it didn't say they had 100% chance of making the playoffs...

With Jets goggles on nothing goes unseen.

 

[Sweech]

Which is better?

Or

?

I plan on invading other GDT's with this anytime a bad call is made...or even a borderline one.

 

[tacogeoff]

The top one

 

[castle]

top

tried to just post 'top' but that's too short

 

[Sweech]

Yeah, I'm thinking the coloured one as well.

 

[Flair Hay]

With Jets goggles on nothing goes unseen.

Ummmm...ya.

Why rely on an entire seasons worth of stats to back up an argument when you can objectively form opinions by doing what everyone else does already. Wait.

I say top too. Great job on these by the way.

I only put the words overtop.

I'm pretty sure it was Hammer who made the actual gif.

Yeah, I wanted to get a gif of him saying "NO WAY" too, but when I went to check on Gamecenter they cut to commercial before it.

Damn. That would've been good too.

I want more hockey-related gifs.

 

[scelaton]

agree... and love the avatar. fellow deadhead on the HF boards?

Yep, I was wondering when someone would notice. Actually, the screen name 'scelaton' came first, but the avatar was a perfect match.
Sadly, most of the young folks here think that Jerry Garcia is a flavour of ice cream.
