NHL: Around the League 46

[Blackhawkswincup]

Team is 9-5-4 which IMO is better then they should be and with Carey Price playing like absolute shit the termination of Julian is absurd

Also its time for ownership to tell francophone media/fans to f*** off and hire best coach available

Habs have had chance to hire good coaches thru years but passed on them because of Francophone nonsense

Tampa Bay Lightning at Chicago Blackhawks Box Score — October 21, 2018 | Hockey-Reference.com

One of Q's last games as coach. The roster was rough.

Cue the torrent of "Stan sabotaged Coach Quenneville" tirades...

Though I understand the francophone's demand to have a French speaking coach I find it becoming more and more obsolete especially now with technology to translate on the fly. It's much more important to have a great coach vs an ok coach due to language.

I imagine a couple of them might even have been legal.

They are 2-6 in their last 8. They lost three times to Ottawa in that stretch, and once to Edmonton.

They suck and Julien is a dinosaur. He loses the locker room everywhere he goes, eventually. I'm all about getting new blood into coaching in the NHL. f*** these retreads.

It's infuriating because Gudas is actually an objectively good defensemen behind all the pointless dirty BS.

He’s like Marchand. He got his shot in the league by riding the edge. You can’t just turn that off.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

No politics means no politics. Don’t make me write parking tickets.

Seems like Marchand has moved past riding the edge though, mostly.

He was purposely licking people between hundred point pace seasons

Rangers kicking Bruins ass tonight with net presence.

Who knows how true and to what extent Bowman was interested in Matt Murray but man oh man did we dodge a bullet there.

I think he’s a much better goalie than his numbers suggest but yea he’s not playing up to his contract. Ottawa is trash.

Didn’t think Ottawa would be playoff contenders or anything but am surprised that they’re Detroit level of bad.

Whatever interest there was I bet it died real quick when he found out what Murray wanted for his next contract lol.

Reportedly Stan NEVER made an offer, just like his Bears counterpart.

 

[RayP]

Did not realize Carey Price is doing as bad as he is and rocking that .888 SV %.


Another dreadful contract. 5 more seasons at a 10.5M cap hit after this one.

You don't pay above market rate for a goalie.

 

[RayP]

Yeah I’ll never understand paying top dollar for a goalie. That’s the last piece of the puzzle for my team if I’m a GM.

Murray was available.

Stan inquired.

Price was too high.

Stan backed out.

That's all there was to it. He just did his job.
