They're overworking him. His TOI/G is 25:34 since being acquired. He was averaging 18 for TOR.Uh oh Sandin stinks now. That’s not good!

-4 toniteWith him not giving 2 shits about giving any effort beyond a slap shot I‘m not all that excited about the scoring record record. Breaking the record while coasting the next 2-3 seasons and doing little else besides taking a slap shot from the left dot definitely takes some of the luster off the record in my view. He doesn’t drive play or help the possession game one iota, at least make some effort on defense. Sure he’s never made much effort on that end even in his prime, but great players adapt their games to make up for things they’ve lost. OV is content doing what he’s doing.
It's true that he's pretty much a liability and dragging the team down, but I still want him to pass Gretzky.With him not giving 2 shits about giving any effort beyond a slap shot I‘m not all that excited about the scoring record record.

Well, if we wanted any chance, this was a horrible game to not show up forPlease no more playoff talk. That is all
Who isn't a liability, though? None of the supposedly higher-end players are at the height of their game and make those around them better. At least not to the point of maintaining that level single-handedly even when the rest of the team slacks off. They don't really possess momentum-changing level players at the top. It's something they have to attack collectively, patiently over time and hope to get at more via discipline and attrition.It's true that he's pretty much a liability and dragging the team down, but I still want him to pass Gretzky.
Probably right but at least we can see what some of the young guys can really do. They need to assess what they have in the system IMHO. Playing Craig Smith and Sheary in the top nine does nothing.
We actually don’t know that. AA seems to be playing ok, he was stapled to the bench all year.Yeah sure….I just feel like we all know what they can do…..and it’s not great, (or even good)…..
I saw Laviolette interviewed before the game. He talked about how big the two points were.
Then, to watch dog shit on ice, lead by their captain, who was the worst of the bunch.
What are we doing?
There is a disconnect between the coach and the GM. I firmly believe that. One more reason I don’t believe Lavi will be coming back for next season.I would say that we are tanking, but not everyone has gotten the message.
He’s been very up and down..just like he was before in his limited time. Seems like a bottom pair, 4/5 at best…..as expected.We actually don’t know that. AA seems to be playing ok, he was stapled to the bench all year.
If he is 4/5, that would be great. Laviolette has treated him like a 7/8.He’s been very up and down..just like he was before in his limited time. Seems like a bottom pair, 4/5 at best…..as expected.
But now that the season is pretty much lost, we can sacrifice game time to an experiment that’s unlikely to yield anything new.
I think this is made up in the minds of fans who want Lavi gone…There is a disconnect between the coach and the GM. I firmly believe that. One more reason I don’t believe Lavi will be coming back for next season.
“At best”……he’s no where near that today and likely never will be. He is a 7/8 today on a non-tanking team.If he is 4/5, that would be great. Laviolette has treated him like a 7/8.
As to your last point, the coach doesn’t see it that way.
He’s played like 20 games. You have no idea what you are talking about.I think this is made up in the minds of fans who want Lavi gone…

Ok man….They can simply agree to part ways (which they may already have). Lavi didn’t sign up to coach a tanking old team either. I‘d wager he’s come to terms with the idea of moving on to a team headed in the other direction, (sorta like Trotz did at the time)…..we’ll see.He’s played like 20 games. You have no idea what you are talking about.
The GM sold at the deadline. The coach is a lame duck. Pretty clearly a divide between the two.

Yeah, when McMichael is ready to fill a roster hole (Lars)…….show me the exact comments indicating a divide between HC and GM…..I’ve seen or heard nothing that indicates some divide you Lavi haters are mentally fabricating…and they literally have nothing left BUT to play the young guys down the stretch….I don’t agree. If you listen to BMac’s recent interviews he said they need to find a spot for McMichael for instance and said the young guys need to play down the stretch. Then asked if Lavi has a hard time playing young guys he took a very diplomatic approach when answering but if you read between the lines there are some philosophical disagreements. If you don’t agree that is fine but I would argue it’s fairly obvious.
He just told you. The GMs actions tell you. He traded all the UFAs.Yeah, when McMichael is ready to fill a roster hole (Lars)…….sow me the exact comments…..I’ve seen or heard nothing that indicates some divide you Lavi haters are fabricating…
Nah….sorry….They simply accepted their catastrophic injury issues were too much to overcome…..and they're still going down fighting…..despite your crew wanting them to roll over every night now.He just told you. The GMs actions tell you. He traded all the UFAs.
How is the a fabrication?
Sorry, it didn’t look like they were fighting to win this huge game, against a bad team.Nah….sorry….They simply accepted their catastrophic injury issues were too much to overcome…..and they're still going down fighting…..despite your crew wanting them to roll over every night now.
Absolutely not true, and kind of ridiculous you'd still believe that. You were boo hooing AA all year, suddenly he gets games and he seems like he can at least belong on a 3rd pair.Yeah sure….I just feel like we all know what they can do…..and it’s not great, (or even good)…..
You don’t think they rolled over last night?Nah….sorry….They simply accepted their catastrophic injury issues were too much to overcome…..and they're still going down fighting…..despite your crew wanting them to roll over every night now.
