  1. 3-0 in the last sim! Well played team. And the Mohawks are playing well 5-1 overall record for 4th in the league in AHL. And I'm going to be sending them some help in a 23 year old youngster who is playing on the 4th line. He will do much better on the Mohawks.

  2. woooo 1st place! At least until tonight's sim...

    You're Pittsburg!!! Rawr!

    It's so on tonight. :B)

    I'm sending out Knox with "attempt to injure" again.

    Joking aside; my teams got to stay out of the box, allowing you 8 power plays last game is not acceptable. See you on the ice.

    (nice to see that my farm team doesn't have a big salary, and I have cap space to make a few NHL moves in the future)

  3. LAFMO? Are you serious?

    I'm so underground it's the first time seeing this video, and to be fair, I like the chorus, it's catchy.

    And omg what's this?.... :shocked: Common Kalu don't give in to vanity.. don't give in........

    She's hot!

    Damn I gave in. :wub:

    Edit.. she's like.. not wearing any pants... :(

  4. I agree, that given the circumstances Weber, Diaz, and Emelin are doing all that we can possibly expect of them. That said though, I don't think we should be reducing Subban's 5 on 5 time and throwing one of those three to the wolves by having him spend the game matched up against the other team's number one line. I don't think that is fair to them at this point in their development. Sure they need to keep playing and improving but you put them in situations where they can succeed, not in a situation that is over their heads at this point, and that is what asking them to play top players is; putting the over their heads at this point.

    Yeah yeah, for sure. I think if we'd have won tonight we'd be having a different post-game conversation. Anyways, still fun.

    Trying to find out why we lost tonight is interesting.

    I don't like to say it's the coaching, yet it seems like the weak point in the team chain at the moment. It just feels like the players are being used in weird, out of place situations. Pleks on the point, Darche on the PP, Eller no ice time and no wingers. Cole not in the shootout. Those are my main issues tonight.

    EDIT: That said, the team looks better than the start of the season, and are improving very nicely. Alrighty, gonna chill now listen to team990, and then FFR and WoW await me.

  5. Yup, Subban's confidence was killed by being benched. Eller's confidence was killed by being benched. Sending Pacioretty back to Hamilton ruined the development of an excellent young prospect by killing his confidence. Playing Halak instead of Price, and benching him ruined the confidence of our potential franchise goalie and now we have nothing.

    Seems to me the handling of these four key pieces of the team has worked out pretty well in the long run and all four guys have become key members of this hockey club. Martin has also done a good job with Weber, White and Desharnais. Given his track record and the importance of the youth on our current team, plus all the players who developped under him in Ottawa, from Phillips to Redden to Chara to Volchenkov on defence, to Hossa, Havlat, Spezza, and others on forward... I have a hard time questionning his approach to younger players. Sometimes tough love works, and Jacques might just know a thing or two about developping talent.

    He's still not my favourite coach - yet your post is very well said.

    Yet there is always another way... making the youth angry isn't the best move... I remember when I was young there was this game against Detroit... lol

  6. The one goal tonight was forward coverage, the other may have been Subans giveaway.

    I really dislike the comments on Webs, Diaz and Emelin. Yeah they're not perfect, yet given the circumstances, I think they're doing an excellent job.

    I've never been a huge fan of Georges, yet I'm starting to notice his awesome play in the past few weeks.

    (why do I never write in paragraphs? lol) Anyways, I think this season thus far, the "issues" have been on the forwards side. With the exception of a few defensive breakdowns, I think the D is pretty good.. again given the circumstances of Markov and Campoli being out. Maybe a little bit more commitment with forward lines would help. Enquist went down and there were weird line combos at times, I was like... huh? Then like Eller disappeared because he doesn't have consistent wingers.

    Consistency is the issue this year imho.

  7. Gio has great stats in the shootout in his career. So does Gomez. The guy I was pissed at using is Plekanec who is 3/19 career. He's not good in shootouts, why do we keep using him.

    I see. True that, Cole scored tonight... I'm thinking he should have shot at least. Anyways, *deep breath* ...

    :(
