At least the whole ''Maybe Daws could be on the NHL team next year?'' stuff died down.
After 12 games of .916% from Daws, he's been an .852% over his last 5 games played. He's averaged about 3.8 goals per game and his GAA is probably even higher than that considering he was pulled about 29 minutes into each of the Vancouver and Calgary games.
Just f***ing play Gillies and take the f***in punch.
I would almost guarantee that Fitzy knows at this very moment whether he's bringing Ruff back or not. Gillies torpedoing us for 1-3 games more than likely isn't gonna change the circumstances from Ruff coming back to not coming back next year or make it go from a maybe to a no or a yes to a maybe.
I would bet his fate has already been decided, either way it happens to go.
I mean, maybe there's a chance that he could be leaning towards bringing him back as of now, but if we lose like 12 or 14 of the last 17 games then maybe he might decide against it by then?
No matter what happens next year, all I'm saying is that it's likely already been decided. Ruff is either a decided lame duck or he's coming back for next year. Gillies coming out and killing us in the second half of a back to back (where Daws has been particularly poor on the second half of back to backs anyway) isn't going to cost him anything that hasn't already been totaled.
And while Daws has had 2-3 times as many good games as Gillies has, his last handful are definitely treading Gillies waters.
