Staal basically said 99% of all the crap you hear on TDA is nonsense. He's practically trying to drag him to Detroit. Problem with Detroit is they don't have anything I want that they would probably give up. I've said it many times. They are wasting the career of Larkin. He's a hometown guy but if he had a brain he would ask out. He's worth overpayment. It would take a massive offer with 5 or 6 for 1. On this team with Panarin he would push 100 points and he's a plus faceoff guy. It probably would cost you Chytil but I'd try like heck to avoid that.

Georgiev, Lundkvist, Barron, Kravtsov and Buchnevich might get them to bite. Georgiev will never start here. Lundkvist is a fantastic prospect but Schneider will take the spot and Trouba we are stuck with because of stupid Gorton's NMC he gave him. Love Barron as a bottom six guy. Kravtsov is not making our top 4 wings. If Detroit is good it will be 4 years from now. Larkin will be 28 and probably will be mentally done there. They should deal him now. They aren't close to being a good team.

Last night looked like a tier 1 bantam game. Up and down, good passes, bad passes, good goals, bad goals, good saves, dumb penalties. This team has no structure to it and the systems they play are dog shit. Way too fuckin low on the pk and in our zone 5v5. They can’t break out clean, and when they do, they have to change. No one can get a fuckin puck deep. Go watch the last 5:00 from last night, let me know how many times Pitt had to start from behind their own net either contested or even uncontested. The pp has excellent tape to tape perimeter play. I love the shots from outside the dots, those are usually great areas to score from. Looks like they figured it out on the Panarin goal when they finally took a shot from inside the dots. I was waiting for them to set up the janitor in the corridor for a one timer. For those that know me, I love giving the coach the benefit of the doubt for multiple reasons:

1. They see what we don’t behind the scenes, whether it’s in practice or in the locker room.

2. They’re obviously good enough to be hired.

3. I want them to succeed because that means my team is winning.

 

With that said, fuck this guy. I’m tired of watching what looks like on the surface, random dudes showing up every other night for open hockey. They’ve yet to win a game because of good coaching, but the L’s are all on him. 3-4 blown leads in the 3rd now?

The answer is right there with our Pack coach. He's outstanding pretty much everywhere he's coached. Quinn is a moron. Hughes played 23 minutes for the Devils yesterday. Kakko 13. Hughes is playing 20 minutes a game. That's how you develop elite talent. Kakko has a howitzer for a shot and a great one timer. The fact he's not on the first PP unit is a joke.

From another board. Hilarious but the sad part is it's true.

Getting Boyle really in no way affects any of the younger “talents” the team has. 4th line minutes aren’t exactly great for development and growth. 4th line is a defined role and so,etching we sorely are lacking. Get it done.

Yeah, it does. We have lots of young guys that might project to the 4th line. Barron. Howden. Lemieux. Richards. Absolutely no interest in Boyle.
