Someone made a really interesting chart last season, to make the case that Montreal sucks dick and our result against NYR was totally expected. The forum update on hfboards totally screwed it up, though. In it, he compared teams based on how often they scored a certain number of goals or allowed a certain number of goals to playoff and non-playoff teams. This was really interesting because Pittsburgh, against playoff teams, allowed an average of about 3 GA/G. Nashville, IIRC, allowed about 2.77. This was actually on the high end among playoff teams. What the two teams also shared, however, was the fact that they were able to score enough to keep up with this number.
I think McDonagh is the best option for you guys. It's time to start unloading some piece from that bloated prospect pool to start taking swings. There's one variable that gets forgotten in considering how to maximize the likelihood of winning a cup: number of attempts.
What would your offer for McDonagh be?
I didn't watch a single game, guess I might watch the final. I get why it happened, but man it sucks losing the NHL. To be fair, they had the NHLers last time and still broke my heart.Jesus this US team sucks
Montreal is pretty well locked into the bottom 6 now. Finally, after this weekend, we reached the bottom 3. There was a point where we went 0-2-1 and actually climbed from 4th last to 6th last. That was like taking crazy pills.
Montreal is the worst road team in the entire league. We have something like 12 out of the next 16 games on the road, too.
Uncle Bettman's going to give us T-1000 to Karlsson's T-800.
You can't really get fleeced for Pleks. He sucks.
I think we could get something back for Patches and Byron though. I think we should.
