He was bad like Kadri,  you just knew when it came crunch time he couldn't be depended upon and that was unlikely to improve. Therefore you move on.

Are you making the case that Gardiner is great? Many, including nhl GM's don't agree.

Naw, the eye test and history in reg season gives Anderssen the benefit of the doubt but I cant say I would enter the playoffs overly confident in him.

That wasn't in last 3 years Professor?

Game 7 stats.

Probably just as good of a chance as convincing analytics lovers that everything else just might be correct. Most who watch know that Gardiner is an average at best defensemen and year after year the eye test and the stats continue to prove it despite analytics claim.  I did not hate him but saw...

I dont mind this start!! Gonna be hard for Finland to play their smothering style down by 3.

Phil has missed quite a few games this season.....but he is in the lineup. He has been nothing short of terrible in AZ.

I find his goofy honest demeanor rather easy to cheer for. And the fact that he is willing to accept any role to be part of it doesn't hurt.

I said it at the time, based on talk and results of last couple years if I was in charge I would have fired Babcock that day.

I know its been awhile and discussed to death but I'm still blown away at how tone deaf a guy like Babcock could be while being discussed as one of the most prepared coaches in the game?? How could you not consider the human side??

Like an 18 wheeler?

Hey IC9 there's Bayak.

It wasn't the points or anything in particular that had me on the other side. I didn't think he was as close to the big 3 as he is and thought by getting him signed lower it would have been a good benchmark for team. He is better than I thought he would be.

Put me down as a convert on Willie.  I didn't like the deal but he's getting better by the week.

I think it's Weibe and Sawyer?
