Yes

Insofar, as so much money, time, picks, and players wouldn't have been wasted chasing down another 3C

Bones himself wouldn't have helped, but by association, his loss resulted in f***ed up team choices

 

[Peat]

Not the difference between us and more cups.

If we keep Bonino where do all the assets spent on Brassard and McCann go?

 

[Kristopher Letang]

I can’t wait for @SouthGeorge to start his "If we traded Letang, do we win a Cup in 18,19,20 and 21?" poll.

Dunno, probably wings or making picks, but probably nothing that changes that the team was exhausted in 18, imploding in 19, had major injury issues with their three best forwards in 20... I guess we were a little closer this year?

Would things be better, sure, although knowing our recent luck he'd have broken his other leg or some other shit. But another cup? With our luck? I don't think so.

We would've won 1-2 more Cups in that window with a reliable #1D. No doubt in my mind. I'd say 3 more in total during Crosby/Malkin era if they never drafted Letang.

Ryan Mcdonagh who they were after as well but didnt have enough after brassard’s deal.

You're f***ing out to lunch dude.

Does it not give you any pause at all that you're the only person on earth who thinks this way?

 

[Icarium]

If we had kept Zatkoff, we would have won all Cups since 2016. Fact. And the one Gagarin Cup too. Never in doubt.

Some people are finally waking up. We won a whole Championship without him. Please stop acting like he's a piece to the puzzle. Just a passenger on the Crosby/Malkin generational talent express.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

CLB on the way. They ain’t ready

Dude, you need serious help.

Poll: If we had MOAR @SouthGeorge nights at PPG do we have Moar Cups?

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Absolutely not. Someone left after the 2 cups that was more important, it wasn’t Bones.

I feel like Kris Letang’s handsomeness really bothers you in ways you can’t comprehend and your only course of action is to hate Kris Letang. It’s ok to admit he’s a beautiful man, I think he’s a beautiful man, we all do. But we don’t hate him to deflect like you have, It’s ok mate this is a safe space.

At that point he was weekend at bernies Kunitz

Matt Murray?

 

[Goalie_Bob]

No. Matt Murray still turned into a pumpkin.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Matt Murray?

Matt Murray isn’t even qualified to be a back-up in Belleville.

He fell off a cliff but I think it was a mix of personal reasons and injuries catching up

I don’t think it’s just that. Matt Murray is confident in himself, so much so that he would make up magical excuses for his bad games, I think he literally is in his own way and won’t figure it out until its too late. He shows flashes of his old self but then he goes back to his abysmal ways.

It’s hard to adapt when you think your game is 100% fine and it’s just a matter of time things will work out again. While he does that, 3 other goalies basically clowned his ass in Ottawa.
