MastodonQuote from: Painter on Today at 07:03:39 PMYeah, sure! Aside from the fact that at this point, and for who knows when it might be otherwise, all such speculation is bootless. Is that not something we might at least wish to acknowledge out of a sense of propriety? Are there not more sensible rabbit holes for us to go spelunking? Good gosh!Call it as you wish, but I'm following this draft class that many pundits have crapped upon or hyped. It's the most interesting Draft class since 2004. You know where my chips are placed.
Cheers!
Quote from: coggs on Today at 07:07:04 PMLet's just say I have been very good at the reverse jinx this year. I mention a player is playing like xxxx and then he scores. Yesterday at end of 2nd I said, "time to work your magic." Texted my wife to ask if she wanted to go to the game on saturday. Hit send, and I knew we were good.
On a serious note, they have been the best comeback team in the league this year and "momentum" can shift VERY quickly. Hence why the analytics people do not believe in momentum or players being hot and cold as an indicator of a future outcome.
Quote from: DaveBrown74 on Today at 04:22:54 PMIf you knew this team was winning this game during the second intermission, kudos to you, but feel free to share that prediction in real time next time. Any dope can call people out with the gotchas after the fact.Let's just say I have been very good at the reverse jinx this year. I mention a player is playing like xxxx and then he scores.

Quote from: nb587 on Today at 05:48:46 PMAny Ranger fan that was confident of winning last night, after 2 periods, after the awful game in game 5, was either smoking pot or drinking something strong or an eternal optimist. In fact, after rewatching the 3rd period, I'm of a mind that we were incredibly lucky to win. We survived a 3rd period where the puck hitting the post, another hitting the crossbar, another point blank shot from in close that went wide and another awesome (understatement) save from Igor. And, we scored on an iffy penalty call. I'm guessing that the Hurricanes, whom I cant stand, are kicking themselves for having lost a winnable game last night.Is Igor expected to stop the shots that are wide or high, on top of the ones that are on net?
Quote from: Ed Vette on Today at 10:23:09 AMThe article is. We can go back to the DJ Tug Of War.
Quote from: Trench on Today at 01:05:18 AMInteresting regarding Maye as it pertains to our own scouting dept which wanted to give up the ship for the guy. Obviously it's week one and time will tell. Interesting however

Quote from: ozzie on Today at 12:41:04 PMthe bottom line is they just want to make money. It's getting ridiculous
Quote from: katkavage on Today at 04:59:00 PMI wouldn't be shocked if he starts the first 3 games. Not sure DJ will be ready until October.
Quote from: DaveBrown74 on Today at 04:44:45 PMI personally think they got Lock because they wanted a more durable backup than Taylor given DJ's own lack of durability. I doubt they view Lock as a potential alternative long term solution to DJ, but obviously I don't know for sure what's going on inside their minds.I wouldn't be shocked if he starts the first 3 games. Not sure DJ will be ready until October.
Lock may never even see the field this year. I suspect he probably will for one reason or another, but we certainly don't know that. So it's unclear if he'll even have the opportunity to prove he's better than what he has shown so far in this league.
