If the rumors at the time were accurate, it was booze that put an end to what had looked like a promising career as a player here.
I think it’s the Duchene curse!ratonmono wrote: Mon Jan 06, 2020 5:51 pm Preds fire Lavy. Wonder if this will save their season? To me the mix just isn't right there for whatever reason. Johansen, Duchene, Turris are all kinda weak sauce IMO. Too similar.
It's not only that, it's also Johnson having a great year and not being able to re-produce that. Don't forget about, Kyle "I've literally done nothing besides being hyped up in the draft and put on a pedestal by coach Gretzky" Turris. I remember watching him in PHX, Gretz always talked big about him, never showed up. That kid has been great trade bait.
They don't have a true #1C for one thing, and they certainly don't have the winger quality or depth to offset that. Their D is still pretty good, but they seem to be losing some traction in their own end (not sure if it's aging or over-compensation) as the forward group has struggled. Rinne seems to be hitting his inevitable regression and Saros doesn't seem to be able to handle a more prominent role.ratonmono wrote: Mon Jan 06, 2020 5:51 pm Preds fire Lavy.

He's the biggest "jerk" in that lineup
Probably Doc Emrick's favorite player... only guy who actually "shovels" the puck.
This is like a guy with a cool party trick...by the third time everyone is like...yeah dude..we know the bottle cap is in your butt cheeks.Turk Sanderson wrote: Mon Jan 06, 2020 8:34 pmProbably Doc Emrick's favorite player... only guy who actually "shovels" the puck.
I didn’t know Loviette or whatever his name is got fired. Lots of parity in this league, locking in a playoff spot isn’t easy. Lots of disappointed teams every year.UMSLBlues12 wrote: Tue Jan 07, 2020 10:04 am
This is an interesting hire. The Devils were (although still are) terrible under him.
Sounds like a painful personal experience. Do you wanna talk about it some more? Rev. Turk can set you up for counseling ... and wings.CaptSMRT wrote: Tue Jan 07, 2020 12:33 amThis is like a guy with a cool party trick...by the third time everyone is like...yeah dude..we know the bottle cap is in your butt cheeks.
Goalie goals kick ass. They kick even more ass when they come at the Hawks expense.
This is an excellent post.
I guess that's a good deal. He is pretty good and he's locked in at a fair price. Market just keeps going up.
Yeah I honestly can't tell what's a good price for a d-man anymore. This seems a bit much but I dunno. He's no Jeff Finger though! Now that was a bad defenseman signing.BillP. wrote: Fri Jan 10, 2020 11:02 amI guess that's a good deal. He is pretty good and he's locked in at a fair price. Market just keeps going up.
No but I made sure to vote for OshieCaptSMRT wrote: Fri Jan 10, 2020 8:47 pm Did everyone vote for Perron to be in the All-Star game today? I'm going to talk about it all the time because that makes me a super fan!!!
