And you don’t think those teams could do that? I do.
Of course they could. Do I think they would? No. Certainly not all of them, at least. (And keep in mind, my hypothetical was “just” 7-2-1, something like 8-2-0/8-1-1/9-1-0 just pushes that bar farther, without being a 10-game winning/point streak.)
Carolina plays both Pittsburgh and Montreal in that span, at least one of those teams has to lose in each of those, even if they’re 3-point games.
We'll definitely be ahead if we go 9-1, it's mathematically impossible for us to be behind Montreal and/or Pittsburgh if we beat them all 3 games in regulation and go 9-1. I'm having a hard time believing CBJW actually believes this as a literal truth that we need to win 10 in a row to get in.
I did watch him play, thanks. for a guy who was taken in the first round and supposed to be our 1C for years to come, I hold him to a high standard and he hasn't lived up to those standards in nearly 2+ years.
my opinions/observations are mine and your's and your's. cheers.
Welp Torts just covered in his press conference, and it makes perfect sense why Duchene , and Dzingel are struggling to contribute offensively . Torts said they have to learn how to play our system , away from the puck .... Torts , where all good offensive players go to die . What a disgrace
Akin to never betting on a straight you don't have.Lesson learned: never to all in on a so-so roster that’s not even in the playoffs when you’re making your decision
I really wish people would read. Ive been saying they need a 10 game point streak. However, they’re quickly making it actually be 10 wins in a row
A few years ago some were posting the team record comparing games with and without Murray.
So I'll follow that up with the recent 45 days or so comparing records with stalwart Brandon Dubinsky. Since his return. The team is 8-11 in 19 games.......but my gosh I'm glad he's there to be the DF (designated face-off) guy.
This was the most dumb thing to do of this genius. How they would go on a streak immediately without him, and he would insert him back for no f... reason.A few years ago some were posting the team record comparing games with and without Murray.

You're right for some reason i thought it was his return AGAIN that ended their streak.He wasn’t back in until the Montreal game so those last losses to NYI and Tampa (but also the win over Chi) weren’t with Dubinsky, but the overall point stands.

I've maintained for a while that guys like Riley Nash, Sedlak, and Hannikainen, and certainly Eric Robinson, are all vastly superior options to Dubinsky. He's done as an NHLer.
The win/loss record is a very crude way of seeing it, though in this case you'd just happen to arrive at the same result as the trustworthy stats. Dubinsky is a -15, which is an impressive number for a 4th liner who doesn't get much ice time. Look at the atrocious effect on the goals for percentage.
Will any blame be placed on the captain? Foligno (glorified 3rd liner) should also play a part in making sure that the team is ready to play. I’ve been on record saying it in the past but I don’t think he’s the type of captain to lead a team to the cup/ long playoff runs.
Coach - and no doubt involved in player selection - of the US squad in the Worlds that had Dubinsky and not Phil Kessel in the roster. In what year, what month, what week is Dubi better than Penguin Phil?He wasn’t back in until the Montreal game so those last losses to NYI and Tampa (but also the win over Chi) weren’t with Dubinsky, but the overall point stands.
Torts had a quote that disturbed me at the time but is now extremely alarming. After the New Jersey game/before the (first) Montreal game, he said something to the effect of he thought the team missed Dubi’s energy. This coming off a four-game winning streak, with wins over Nashville and Washington. With Dubi’s energy, the team then went on a 5-game losing streak. Without it, another 4-game winning streak.
Torts has a reputation, fairly or unfairly, as a coach that isn’t made for today’s game. Quotes like that don’t help his cause.
