Around the League III: 2018 Around the League III: The OTT players said WHAT?




Last post in previous thread:

Dahlin's not winning it because Pettersson is having a otherworldly rookie season. In most seasons, Dahlin's probably winning it, like we saw Ekblad winning with a sub-40 point season over Gaudreau and Stone, who both put up 60+ point seasons. Pettersson, however, is at a 90-point/82 game pace, playing with middle-6 wingers and mediocre offensive defensemen for most of the season.

No offense to Dahlin, but if both players keep up their current production, this should be a runaway for Pettersson.

Q to Philly

 

[WTG]

There goes our opportunity to get a franchise coach.

Great pick up by Philly.

 

[Fire Benning]

Lol

 

[WTG]

Lol

Lol nvm
What a fiasco.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

So...maybe Q to Philly? Has to be an interesting scene in the plane right now; the Flyers' flight back from Vancouver is apparently still 2 hours out of Philly.

I'd be ok with a Jets-Tampa cup final.

One of the most entertaining games of the year. Just two contenders slugging it out. Makes you realize how far off we are.

please no shootout

Nice.

Better he goes there than to the Coilers or Lames.

So you're suggesting the team should have fired Green less than halfway through his second season simply because another coach became available? That doesn't happen. Hockey teams aren't run that way. You know that as well as I do.

 

[Melvin]

I just finished reading an article on tsn that said they weren't firing him.

Crazy times in Philadelphia.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Que Q

 

[David Bruce Banner]

How many coaches have we finished off this year? 2... 3?

 

[Melvin]

1?

This is the only one. And to be honest this was likely coming anyway, don't think we had much to do with it.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

1?

Correct - Hakstol is the only one. We have, however, played 3 of the other 4 teams that have new coaches - LA (Willie) , St. Louis (Berube), and Edmonton (Hitchcock). We beat them all, although we lost an additional one to LA.

A lot of coaches get fired after they lose 12 out of 13 games.

Under these circumstances, with a rebuilding team, early in their second season and on the heels of a very hot start, no, they don't. Again, you know this. You're pretending not to in order to push a narrative that the current management is always, invariably wrong, which is false. Everyone reading this thread understands this.

Nah, I feel we should copy the Leafs model. It's not complicated really.
Get a franchsie coach while tanking.

Kesler. Four goals and six points in 31 games. Talk about falling off a cliff.
