Sabrefan1 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 9 minutes ago, Coconuts said: Should be a few teams looking for coaches, who do you think would fit the Sabres? Honestly. Our old assistant coach John Tortorella. Although he won't be leaving the Flyers to join our sh*tshow of an organization. My second choice would be Lindy Ruff, but he and the Devils are likely going to be together next season. After those 2, I really have no preference. I would like a no nonsense coach who knows how to win. No players-first coaches. This team needs discipline and structure, not coddling and group hugs. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Korea Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 1 hour ago, Alflives said: Teams can make a change to their core (and leadership) that turns their club around. Avs moved on from Duchene. We moved on from Bo. Sabres and Sens need to change their cores’ culture. Maybe it’s Stutzle that needs to go? Stutzle + Sanderson for Tuch + Power? As I previously said, you're completely missing the point if you think dumping Horvat was the reason this team has turned things around. Nobody in Colorado thinks dumping Duchene is why they won the cup. Nobody. Except you maybe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinatcc Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 just realize Jason Dickinson is a near 0.5 PPG. Maybe it might have been a mistake for the Canucks to give up on him? Especially since it cost the team a 2nd round draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 I don't like seeing Bedard win, but every Hawks win is good at this point. I really don't want to see them win the lottery again. If they somehow get 1OA picks in back to back years I'll be pissed. Hopefully Bedard can drag them up the standings, I'd much rather see a Cali team, Columbus, or Ottawa win lottery picks. Buffalo, Washington, and Calgary would also be acceptable. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iinatcc Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 If Canucks do win the Western Conference I don't think I am confident Canucks can make it past round 1 if they are facing either LA or St. Louis. Both seem to be getting hot at the right time and I won't be surprised if this momentum carries into the playoffs. Part of me actually think they are better off surrendering the Pacific to Vegas in hopes they can face Edmonton in the 1st round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 2 minutes ago, Barn Burner said: Are they allowed to now? Isn't there some new restriction? This is what I was able to find, so they could theoretically win another lottery pick over the next four drafts The 2023 NHL Draft Lottery marked the second year for the implementation of a limit on how many times a team can win a lottery draw. No single team can advance in the draft order by reason of winning a Lottery Draw more than two times in any five-year period https://records.nhl.com/draft/draft-lottery?view=draft-lottery-formats#:~:text=No single team can advance,in any five-year period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 (edited) You don't usually see Vasi get lit up, but Florida's up 4-1 after a period of hockey, Florida's on track to overtake a sliding Boston team as the top Eastern team Edited February 17 by Coconuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas should have probably won it We're starting to see some teams pull away though, LA and Edmonton have been gathering points and if St. Louis can beat Nashville they'll have themselves a six point cushion with a game in hand Detroit's up 4-0 and should hand Calgary their third straight loss, they should slide further once they sell Seattle, Nashville, and Minnesota aren't out of yet but they'll need to decide whether they're sellers or not sooner than later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seemed a bit on the weak side, but thats kind of what EDM gets imo. They seem to be able to whine their way into an extra call per game. 1 minute ago, Coconuts said: We're starting to see some teams pull away though, LA and Edmonton have been gathering points and if St. Louis can beat Nashville they'll have themselves a six point cushion with a game in hand Detroit's up 4-0 and should hand Calgary their third straight loss, they should slide further once they sell Seattle, Nashville, and Minnesota aren't out of yet but they'll need to decide whether they're sellers or not sooner than later Yep Cowtown is toast after today, this is probably the last time we see Marky in Cowtown.

Eh, I like Dallas, they play entertaining hockey I wouldn't be surprised if Marky stays or goes tbh, Wolf didn't look great against San Jose and I could see Calgary keeping Marky around to help bring him along Wolf is pegged as their goalie of the future, I wouldn't be surprised to see Marky stay for his last two seasons to help him out as he adapts to NHL hockey, particularly if the Flames are set on more of retool than a rebuild I could also see them selling high on him though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benn's been better this season, like last season I think him and Seguin have benefitted a lot from not having to be the top guys anymore Having Pavelski, Duchene, Robertson, and Hintz up front with them gives them a lot to work with too Heiskanen is always dangerous, they look to have another good offensive D in Harley too Dallas is supposedly interested in Tanev too, they could be dangerous if they add him I think Jersey gets someone, not sure it's Marky, but they'll get someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but at least you make it past the 1st round. The Kings were on pace to win the President's Trophy until their slump. But now they are back to form, facing them will be like facing a 1st place team. Edited February 17 by iinatcc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
