The 2019-20 Tank Command Thread - Part 3

[Larionov]

Tkachuk is a one of a kind player, he might never put up "elite" offensive numbers but what he brings is much more valuable to a contending team than points. Once this team becomes more competitive and hopefully one day a playoff contender, a guy like Tkachuk will be invaluable.

If there is a God, we'll see Brady in a seven game series against the Leafs one day in the very near future. That would be absolutely glorious...

Send them Pager and whatever else they need to justify their past 1RD picks that can’t help them (Caufield/Poehling)

Sweep the leafs would be even prettier

Devils fire their coach. This is great news for the tank. Hopefully it shoots them up the standings.

Usually new coaches provide a shot in the arm. But in this case John Hynes was absolute trash. Like worse than Boucher bad.

To have that much talent and unable to score is clearly coaching. I understand goaltending is a different issue so hopefully this helps improve them for sure

When most of us realized Karlsson was on his last year here it sure seemed to have affected the teams play that year. I wonder if all the rumours around Hall are affecting the Devils play as much as their coaching

100%

Hall wants to win so bad he’ll be willing to throw tens of millions away on his next contract to play for a legit contender.

Regardless, dumping Hynes will breath new life into the entire team, with or without Taylor going forward.

Hopefully the Devils get that new coach honeymoon bump. Also the Duchene curse is very real.

Internal replacement tank is on but appeases the fanbase. Veteran move by shero.

With another L tonight we go back to 30th in pts% (.396)

Sharks are only 1 point ahead of the Wild and Habs both of whom have a game in hand.

And for those that will come in and say "The Sharks will never finish at the bottom!" I am not say that they will. There is a chance that they will miss the playoffs and if they do it becomes a lotto pick.

I'm sure the Devils will get a bit of a bump from the new coach, but that will (eventually) be off-set by guys being shipped off (i.e Taylor Hall).

Feels like this team is firmly entrenched as the 2nd, 3rd or 4th worst team in the league (thanks a lot Detroit).

Sharks have also had the 2nd easiest schedule so far.

Of course the Leafs have the easy schedule for games remaining... of course.

 

[OD99]

Looks like Pacific Division in general has the easiest schedule to start the season so they will all need to show they can play against tougher competition and keep their positions.

History shows that being out of the playoffs at this point does not bode well for being at the dance when the season finishes - of course anything can happen but the dream is still alive for 2 lottery picks.

 

[Melgene Eunyk]

We are currently on pace to equal Tampa's 97/98 record for worst powerplay percentage in a season. Sitting at 9% right now..

I hope McDavid rips this team a new one tonight and destroys the D's confidence for the rest of the year.

Yeah, that's the spirit.

 

[Super Cake]

You know i want to get the #1 pick as much as the rest of you, but what i don't want is to destroy the confidence of all our young players in the process.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Sens have won 1 less game than the Leafs with a game in hand We have Connor Brown, Tyler Ennis, Ron Hainsey and Nikita Zaitsev... vs Matthews Marner Tavares Nylander Reilly Barrie

Lost 5 won 1... If we can keep that up in 6 game segments we'll be fine.

 

[swiftwin]

Sitting at 13% right now.

Nearly same chance as winning lottery as making the second round of playoffs
