Well, I do enjoy quoting myself occasionally for the right reasons :D EDIT: I'm here in a coffee shop, posting on CC and the old guy at the next table is suddenly blasting Air Supply on the phone speakers for all to hear :crazy: Making Love Out Of Nothing At All... like what we do everyday here in ...

Relegation leads to stratification of the middle teams, with the only team movement being at the top and bottom between who wins and who gets relegated. Besides which, unless there's some new kind of revenue-sharing between teams I don't know how the clubs in the relegation zone can make a go of it ...

I don't know if it was lack of vision, or their vision being predicated on shit that turned out just wasn't real. As Corn says, it's been debated ad nauseam , and here we are. If anything, they're papering over the fact the core they thought was ready for contention went Chernobyl on them. Trading ...

Likely, but we're getting what we wished for with this tank.

I'm hearing Peter has been mostly flaccid for the Swedes. Fourth line center duty with half the minutes of Eriksson-Ek. Not boosting the Swedish offensive thrust... Some similar comments already on this thread, so not picking on you particularly Megs, and lotta hockey left to play in Italy, but ...

Between Toronto’s season thus far and Marner’s performance in the Olympics, safe to say Matthews benefited from Marner as much if not more than Marner benefitted from Matthews.

You watched?!??

Celebrini is looking like the most dangerous shooter out there.

The Swiss are always a hard out no matter the stage. It’s just how they play. Canada still looks stupidly solid, though, even with the lineup changes. Yeah, I think Czechia woke up after they got behind. I k an imagine the words the coaches had for the bench at that point. :lol: Sweden… I mean, Fi ...

Meanwhile, has anyone heard about the job Granato and Castonguay are doing - or have they really been relegated to coffee and sandwich girls?? We talk about Allvin being in over his head, but where is that vaunted collection of hockey minds they brought in? I’m just as disappointed with them because ...

Czechia was in it till Canada pulled away in the third. A good test for the boys. More so than if they played France first.

Isn't that what those tablets are for?

Ok, now i know the puppet of Horvat on this board.
Hi Bo, do another one.

#Horvatwhisperer

Imagine, instead of Pettersson-Miller-Hughes as a core, we had Horvat-Necas-Hughes???

#managementchosethewrongcore

Looking at Necas in this game just makes you wonder what could have been if management had traded Pettersson for him per the rumors. Necas looks as dynamic now as Pettersson was in his heyday.

The only hope we have left is that Pettersson starts giving a shit about hockey again and mans-up.
