Oooof thats dumbass poo right there and exactly what I expected him to say.

I wouldn take Nystrom allll day over Reilly. He is a gem. 7th rounder that bought in and is playing great.  The injury’s on D actually got him the playing time he needs. He will be a cane for a long time.

Even more impressive is the fact that we are second in points and points percentage with all the injuries....

Yeah, it is wild that we keep clawing back and thriving with all these different lineup combos and players coming and going.

Say what you want about how some things have gone over the past few years but our roster construction is exceptional. We really have loaded up on guys in free agency and through the draft that really fit Rod's system.

It's gonna come down to the usual things, I think. Can we elevate our play in the playoffs? That's the big thing we have lacked. Eventually we just hit an opponent that can dig deeper and scrap harder than us. 

It's funny because we always have these teams we cannot seem to get past in the playoffs(Bruins, Tampa, NYR, Florida) that we eventually outlast and outbuild. I guess possiblu that will be the way we win a Cup in the end. Just outlast and outbuild them all.

It’s going to come down to goalie play this year. Like every year minus 2023.  And the team’s goalie play sucks right now

Honestly, the more relevant factor recently(in the playoffs) has been lack of ability to score. When we have been getting bounced out, we are going completely cold. 

The current goalie situation I have no idea what to make of. Freddie is cold as ice at the moment. Kochetkov is Kochetkov, so it will all be about what streak he is on in the playoffs. Bussi I have no real read on. He's extremely sketchy but has been steady for us, overall. I do feel like he is overachieving at the moment.

Koochie is the only guy playing statistically well right now but we all know how that goes. Once he gets in a rut, there is no telling how long it will last.

I mean the fact that guys like Blake and FUS and Nystrom ect are actually AHL guys speaks to the drafting and talent acquisition.... people may not have loved it at the time but keeping a full pipeline of talent to be a yearly contender was the right move.... now if we could just get a blue chip right d and g we would be set. 

 

Hey we beat the bruins exercised that demon.

 

Side note with Florida's injurys and TB and NY getting old both currently look like bubble teams at best.  And its very possible they wont make the playoffs

Ehhhh Idk about that.....

If our d core is healthy these guys wont face these kinds of crazy chances also keep in mind when the are all healthy they haven't all played together much to develope chemistry and experience in rods system. 

 

People always want to blame goaltending but our scoring has dried up completely in the playoffs and we've lost many games we onlu allowed 2 goals or less with a goalie on the ice. Overcoming this adversity and scoring far more consistently both off the rush and designed plays so far this year has me hopeful.

 

Also keep in mind its very possible that we will be the most experienced team in the eastern playoffs our classic kryptonite teams of NYR, TBL and FLORIDA are struggling none are currently in playoff position

I would love to not see Florida in the playoffs. Frankly, I don't want to see any elite goalies. That seems to be our kryptonite.

      49ers void Brandon Aiyuks 2026 guaranteed money , set to release him.

      If the trade value is reasonable, he would be a solid option. You wouldn't be on the hook for a big salary increase until 2027. At that point, he is easy to jettison if it didn't work out. I just don't think he is going to be cheap and I don't think we are going to be a team that bids highly enough for his services in a trade scenario.  Him being cut(highly unlikely) is even worse. Now you gotta outbid everyone in the NFL. That's even worse.

      There is always  Bro we have eyes. They saw Sunday and they saw just one week before.  GWD is a weak stat to base a player grade on it should really be a team thing.  But at any rate we can all see how the QB plays each week. I don’t know why we even need stats at all to be honest. At least for these evaluation purposes. I mean, in GWD you have to look under the hood to make sure you aren’t getting sold a bill of goods.  They are fine for keeping records of yards and completions and points given and allowed and fumbles and so on.  For defense yardage is a bad indicator of rank for instance.  You can build a nice looking house of cards on yards allowed; if you play from ahead you are likely to give up more air yards than rushing. The farther ahead, the more air yards. For one instance. So what it it telling you? Not that you have a bad pass d all the time.
