2018-2019 News Around The NHL Thread

Michael Haley is a good guy, that gets way to much flak about the job he does he will show his worth for you guys in the playoffs. Keeping the stars upright.

Fighting is down and even more so during the playoffs.

If he was Ryan Reaves I'd agree

And yet they both play in the same conference, and most of the big teams have a player in that ilk.

Reaves is functional. He scores.

So you like him better, so what?

Doesnt change the truth in what I said.

It's not about liking someone better. Its whether they help you win or not.

He didnt here. He doesnt there. You dont scratch Donskoi in lieu of Haley.

Sorry DeBoer, you have no idea what you are doing while fighting for top spot in the conference... lol classic

Oh I see we arent allowed to question coaches on their decision making.

Cool.

I actually do think coaches don’t know what they’re doing when they continuously play awful players who the team does significantly better without.

Coaches like Peter DeBoer (and Bob Boughner, who is DeBoer’s good friend) get every excuse made for them when they fail. And they get all the credit when their teams succeed. There are reasons that DeBoer’s team is successful and they’re not him.

As an outsider who admittedly doesn’t know all of the story, I reckon Bob Boughner deserves more blame for playing Haley 75 games last year. His team missed the playoffs by 1 point last year. I reckon by calling up your best AHLer and never playing Haley, he would have got you guys into the playoffs last year.

San Joses inability to close the big one, started way before DeBoer came over. With the talent on your team it is almost Washington crazy. Hopefully you get the monkey off your back this year, the West is wide open.

Good luck in the playoffs.

You don’t know how ... controversial this comment might be here ... it’s good to see an unbiased perspective.

Reaves is far from a favorite lol.

 

[vendetta]

Reaves and Haley should not be compared. Reaves is functional. Haley is not.

Jimmy Howard signed an extension with Detroit: 1 year x $5.1M aav

That sucks. I wouldn’t want him at that cost, but he drives up the prices.

My god this caps bolts game is ridiculous. Vasilevski is an animal. Just back and forth grade A chance after grade A chance

That's strange. I thought we were the only team that can't play defense....

Housley fired in Buffalo

That's a good hire for Philly.

Bergeron, O'Reilly, and Stone are the three finalists for Selke trophy. Correct choices imo.
