I don’t care if they win 3 cups in a row. They’re still the coyotes

Hey now

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Hey now

Can you will them to a win over the caps tonight?

 

[AKL]

Can you will them to a win over the caps tonight?

I gotchu. I'm currently working on Chicago. Calgary is putting up a fight.

You’re doing well. If you can pull off some magic tonight and tomorrow, we could be back to 25th before our heads hit the pillow tomorrow night.

Garland and Dvorak are going to be fun to watch together for a long time

Dvo is turning into a stud. Every center that London pops out seems to be a home run for whoever drafts them. Dvorak, Thomas, McMichael all in the last few years.

Matvey Guskov?

Max McCue should be 2021 eligible right? He's the next one

In an alternate timeline, the Wild has Domi, Dvorak, & Fiala and Fenton is seen as a genius.

I chuckled, not gunna lie.

That would be a great first line right now.

 

[Spurgeon]

That would be a great first line right now.

It's depressing to think of, especially considering how much it would have balanced this roster.

Going into next season:

LW: Parise, Kaprizov, Donato, Foligno, Greenway

C: Domi, Dvorak, Staal, Ek, Sturm

RW: Fiala, Zuccarello, Kunin, Hartman, Mayhew, Anas

Still probably wouldn't be skilled enough linemates to play with someone of the calibre as Zuccarello though.

Big win for the coyotes tonight puts us 5 points out. It’s strange how exciting the tank is every day keeping track of multiple games that affect our current standing instead of just hoping for a win while secretly knowing this team is going nowhere as it’s currently constructed. Like I’ve actually been more engaged this year because of my change in perspective. Oddly cathartic.

For me the flip side has been evident for the last couple of seasons. I went from almost never missing a game for a decade to just watching a period or two to skipping games and watching the condensed version to just skipping and score watching to just ignoring entirely. I still watch full games but so much apathy from this once diehard fan. Maybe its having kids but it is also seeing the same movie too many times.

Change is definitely needed.

Big day of hockey and the opportunity to drop to 25th place

 

[dBoon]

Seriously, getting shut out by Martin Jones on the second night of Shark back to backs checks so many boxes, probably all of them actually.

Nashville wins. NJ wins. Sens win. Blackhawks playing right now. Sabres winning heading into the third

If Sabres and Hawks pull it off, we’re back to 25th! (7OA)

Didn’t see it but the Ducks won as well. Only game that hasn’t gone our way is the Rangers

Rangers are pretty well ahead of us, too

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

@AKL needs to will Chicago to an OT win

 

[fentonsbrainchild]

I know I shouldn’t be surprised but it’s disgusting how many Ranger fans are in Buffalo

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Leafs tie it up early in the 3rd. Sabres respond by scoring 3 big goals. Believe in the tank

Time to head over to the Leafs’ GDT for some comic relief

 

[Nsjohnson]

In 8th OA at the moment.

I looked at our schedule. We have like 6 winnable games.

I believe in the Tank.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

I do think that we can lose out until the deadline. 3 games. All against playoff teams. Canucks, Oilers, Blues. Would give us some cushion @ 7OA as long as Chi doesn’t lose out as well. At the end of the night, we could be 7 points out of a playoff spot.
