I cannot stress this enough:

 

It was dumb as hell.  It was so dumb, had he not converted and that nearly was the case, people could have lost their jobs if it caused us to lose.  I get it--if it is there, take it---but inside your own 40, it better be wide open--it was not.

Not Chase? 

Chase was a decent player, but he's a great coach.

Lol, so Colin Jones made the decision to fake punt while we were up 10 on our side of the field. The announcers kept talking about how ballsy that was. I wonder what he saw that made him that confident. Pretty nuts he has that autonomy, though we did trade for him and have kept him for 7 years and he's our special teams captain, so if anyone would have that ability it would be him.

But we converted and got a touchdown. Every once in a while it's cool to take chances. A lot of winning teams do that and we hardly ever see the Panthers take chances. If we don't go for it and get that touchdown, and give them the ball back it could have been a totally different game. Risk taking is a part of the game and be happy it worked out for us instead of worrying about what could have happened. Oh and nobody is losing their jobs over one play. People don't lose their jobs in this organization if you haven't figured that out by now

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
