Deadline over, Crosby sad. New thread.
watch enough soccer and you get used to it.thought i was having a stroke, turns out Hockey in Spanish is strange.
I do watch it from time to time, my eyes and brain was like wtf.watch enough soccer and you get used to it.
Would be hilarious to have them take the final WC spot over Vegas, and then beat Vancouver in the 1st round. Won't happen, but fun to think about given the Lindholm and Hanifin trades to Van and VGNI want the flames to make the playoffs so badly over Vegas… and if they beat the panthers I’d be happy too
Nobody sees plus/minus by itself as a true stat inside the league. At the time he ran that up I believe it was during our early season funk. He wasn’t directly responsible for goals going in, we had weak goaltending and nothing was working. When we got going his numbers didn’t really improve for whatever reason. Staal has no business being saddled with his number like you say. I don’t think either did anything wrong, the numbers just go that way.They just said that Bunting was a -15. I had no idea.
Staal is a -12 but he gets the hard matchups.
Management must have seen things they didnt like
I think it was a combination of Bunting wasn't meshing with the system the Canes played (Aho mentioned that in the Spitten Chiclets interview) and Dubas having experience with Bunting in the past.They just said that Bunting was a -15. I had no idea.

I'm glad we got out of that contract. I'm sure he will score on us but I really wasn't a fan of him. He seems to be more mouth than is helpful. It's like TDA without the willingness to fight.I think it was a combination of Bunting wasn't meshing with the system the Canes played (Aho mentioned that in the Spitten Chiclets interview) and Dubas having experience with Bunting in the past.
I noticed that our broadcasts didn’t show Bunting and his act nearly as much as the other teams do, just as they don’t show Rod losing it on the refs nearly as much either. Bunting was a real shit bag on the ice, he never shut up. He was always doing something behind the scenes and it was pretty much nothing you’d enjoy as a fan. He was a mistake imo and I’m glad they got out of it quickly. I don’t mean to be old school about it but he doesn’t play with a lot of what you would call honor.I'm glad we got out of that contract.

You could tell by Aho's interview that there was some of that going on. Aho said (paraphrasing), that he was crazy in that he'd have a great shift, but the very next shift, he'd be breaking his stick.I noticed that our broadcasts didn’t show Bunting and his act nearly as much as the other teams do, just as they don’t show Rod losing it on the refs nearly as much either.

Not everyone cares about that of course. We saw it with Meier today. He got Svech riled up on the play before they got into it, and he tried to dive earlier on him. Then he shoulders Svech in the face and takes a dive when the retaliation came. I just can’t even with that crap.
I am on record for saying, and let me be a broken record then, that I'm kind of a fan of that contract structure that brought his QO to $10M, and I wanted us nowhere near that contract, or the man with that contract.I am fine with not having gotten Meier.
well Jersey likes to pay 10M to guys who arent worth it. Which is why they're going to be golfing at the end of 82.I am on record for saying, and let me be a broken record then, that I'm kind of a fan of that contract structure that brought his QO to $10M, and I wanted us nowhere near that contract, or the man with that contract.
