I get why people used to post every time Hartnell or Schenn scored after they were traded because a lot of us liked those guys a lot. But Filppula being re-signed by Hextall was treated as a disaster in the making all last season, so I don’t get the fascination with him now. Especially when he’s getting shredded in shot attempts just like he was last season.

I seriously don’t remember one person saying he should have been extended and made the 3C.

 

[deadhead]

Well, he is +9.
Of course, his E +/- is -5.5, and his shooting % is 31.6%.

Why do I think by the end of the season he won't be a fan favorite on the Island.

I'm so jelly

I think people are trying to make a point about our system stifling offence, not that Flip is suddenly a good 3C.

But I also have like 4 dunces blocked though. So maybe they're are saying some off the wall shit.

No one likes Filppula. Just more anti-Hakstol fodder.

 

[Curufinwe]

Flip's current oiSH% of 14.9 is way above his previous career high of 11.3, and his numbers here were similar to what he had in Det and TB.

Some snippets I found curious from Friedman's recent "31 Thoughts" 31 Thoughts: Senators' Melnyk scrambling to save arena deal - Sportsnet.ca:

12. Last Saturday on Headlines, Chris Johnston reported Toronto’s belief that William Nylander would be interested in a six-year deal at around $6.9 million per season. My best intel says that is not (yet) on the table, but it doesn’t mean it won’t be by 5:00 pm ET Dec. 1, when this phase of the dispute mercifully comes to its end.

If anyone was willing to offer sheet -- if that's the deal Nylander would be willing to agree to -- that is easy to beat. Oh well.

19. “We don’t know what our team really looks like,” Sweeney said. “If there’s good news, it’s that some other guys have had to drive the bus…given us an idea of what they can do. (Coaches) Bruce Cassidy and Kevin Dean were part of our development plan, so they knew what we had.”

Who has impressed you? “(Jeremy) Lauzon. Small sample size, but he’s done well. Matt Grzelcyk. He’s come a long way…earned a higher profile, played almost 25 minutes (last Friday against Pittsburgh). Joakim Nordstrom, he’s our Swiss Army Knife up front.”

Somehow the Flyers have had zero injuries to dmen all season.

 

[The Burdened]

If Blues are really open for business like is being reported, hopefully Homer tries for Pietrangelo or Parayko.
They are easily worth trading out prospects for.

@PhilMyers

I wouldn’t necessarily mind a 2007 situation again where they essentially just look to the offseason to where they really make their adjustments. Give some young guys some legitimate looks this year & see what happens. Essentially just don’t really put any expectations on the rest of the year & let the chips lie setting up the offseason & next year.

Prepare to trade Gost or Provorov... I mean what do you think this is?

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Well Hawks are complete disaster at this point

Time to trade Crawford the only piece of core with value at this point (Kane has value but you don't trade face of franchise)

Its pretty clear this new coach has no clue what he is doing (Benching our 19 yr old rookie defender who has been lone bright spot and playing Seabrook more and Manning proof of that) and team has fallen apart since Q was fired

Sounds like Hakstol day 1.

Buckle up?

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Looks like Crawford has joined rest of team and checked out

This is sad to watch

Also Manning continues to make mistake after mistake after mistake

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Strome just scored his 1st as a Hawk

One of the few positives tonight has been his play

wait, that cant be right.... according to meatpig, he only makes maybe 1 mistake a game... usualy not his fault..

hahaahah

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

The Hawks just a got touchdown & two point conversion put on them with just under ten minutes still left to go. Vegas is still pushing too, they might get 10 here tonight.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

At least Strome was positive in a other wise bleak and embarrassing night for Hawks

goal + assist tonight in debut

 

[baudib1]

Somehow Ryan Reaves is a legit NHL player now, and he scores goals.

Cody Eakin already has 10 goals.

Amazing what an aggressive system and competent coach can do for roster-filler type guys.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

This is quite possibly one of the dumbest things ever said in hockey guy history.

[MacDonald4MVP]

Matthews is back for the leafs and they get even stronger while the clock is ticking on nylander situation. The moar days!

 

[tictactoe]

Was going to say that Blues look like shit and they scored. Maybe we can dance with Blues one more time, offer Simmonds.

Edit and they scored again.
