the team is banged up like its been for years
and the other guys suck too much to win anything
offense was good for 2 drives and dogwater otherwise

defense wasn't good

You know, at some point players being on the IR isn't gonna be a good excuse anymore for the lack of success for a so called offensive genius

but sermon and the other guy didn't even seem like they were mentioned

but we cant rebound for shiz

mitchell was like the only good player on o other than deebo
and even then deebo had some drops also
dim kettle
Trent Williams is injured, Kittle isn't there rn, the secondary is injured. But this happens so much at this point that injuries aren't an excuse anymore.
celest zephyr
i blame the front office for shit drafting
and not signing guys who can backup the guys who are injured to shit
and yeah shanhan cant' coach for shit at this point either
OC gone, DC gone and shanahan just looks exposed

Also put players quick in the doghouse
celest zephyr
secondary is battered to pieces
o line is trash
wr corps sucks also. 2 rookie/young rbs are the only good rbs on the team
that being said the offensive playcalling sucks
receivers drop way too much
dim kettle
They really haven't replaced Emmanuel Sanders in that regard.
celest zephyr
jimmy g is bad and yet somehow the 5th worst thing on this team
losing buckner was a massive mistake
smoky fable
losing buckner was a massive mistake
At least Bosa is good
celest zephyr
yeah he's good
dim kettle
The Cap hell was coming regardless.
celest zephyr
buckner has been amazing for the colts though
fair enough
its just when signing back most of the guys and not signing an impact guy
when years later it hasn't panned out at all sucks
honest umbra
sanders has been rlly good for bills though
dim kettle
Yeah, Sanders was a victim of the cap hell though. They haven't replaced him.
celest zephyr
yeah
this comment pretty much sums this up
the issue wasn't the cap hell it was guys replacing them not even getting close to the value
it'd be fine to get guys who could do something similar for less, but not when guys sure might be cheaper but can't approach the production or are just too injured to do anything
dim kettle
The Niners weren't gonna give Sanders $19 million like the Saints did.
celest zephyr
yeah they weren't
i'm fine with that at the end
its just when the next guy up isn't good
that's the issue
dim kettle
Yeah, I don't understand the problem with Aiyuk. This is your 1st round pick from a year ago, you look like a clown when he's only getting one catch per game.
celest zephyr
yeah for sure
he's also only had his first good practice apparently
which just makes the entire situation a disaster
if a pick from last year is only now doing well in practice then yikes
i'm just kinda done with giving a shit
unless lance starts when he's healthy and they can bother to fix the bad o line
and the dbs can actually be dbs and not just give up completions or PIs or be unable to tackle anyone
and the run game stops sucking
and the run d stops being ass
dim kettle
I'm reading that Kyle is limiting people like Sermon. And the impression I'm getting is Kyle is too overprotective of his young offensive players.
dim kettle
You can't show slow progression on the field. Kyle's too much of a perfectionist for that. Now the comments about Lance a few weeks ago make sense.
celest zephyr
just play the guys if they are ready
and none of this babying of them
as soon as they can get the shit together with all of the behind the scenes stuff then play
dim kettle
It's only on the offensive side too.
celest zephyr
this is just a lost season
dim kettle
You see all that young talent on the defensive side of the ball. But the offense needs to be put in bubblewrap
dim kettle
You think a lot of these injuries happen because the defense has to play more than the offense does.
dim kettle
Then the raw stats will say the Niners are top 10 in offensive play. And just like the Leafs, I'll just find it hard to believe.

Do you think they won't pay him, Balkan?
So
I think that the more we delay, the more he'll be able to ask for and the less FSG will want to loosen their purse
Had we settled this in September we could've gotten away with 350k/w
He's asking 400k/w now and I think he can honestly ask more with what he's done
15 goals and 5 assists in 12 games. Lmao
chilly flare
Ah by delaying it and the way he is playing he is able to ask for more and more (Rightfully so) and those stingy billionaires may not want to pay someone in their 30s
Well about to be in their 30s
So they didnt even want to pay him 350k/w? and now he wants 400k/w? Oof
burnt cedar
im surprised at no Ajax
With Ajax, they have a lot of the bigger names
Who make it
But you don’t see much else from the rest of the graduates
They’d be in the lower leagues
Quality wise Ajax are up there for who they produce
But not quantity if that makes sense
Also for wingers Rennes might be the most elite talent factory out there
- Dembele, Sarr, Raphinha, Kamaldeen, Doku
Doku and Raphinha were signed young but the rest came the academy

fred and mctominay are bad though
who ironically are prob their two most important positions
sweet tree
reminds me a bit of PSG's problems a bit with their frontline not having a good team press, and not tracking back enough leaving so much space behind in the midfield during a transition. Their midfield also seems unable to dominate or control the midfield, also having 2 attacking fullbacks in Hakimi and Nuno who like to push a lot. Think they should switch to a back 3, might fix some of their problems
having pogba could probably been just as bad tbf, not really known for his off the ball work I guess.

Love their videos especially the ones explaining tactics
Let's be honest we knew when Ronaldo was signed that United lacked a solid midfield
And even without that
Salah is licking his lips going against that defense
AWB was very silly to push up so high against LIVERPOOL of all teams when it's well known his forward play is fucking shit
But this reveals a bigger issue w United at the core
The complete and total lack of off the ball work
Liverpool do that shit all game every game, constant pressure all the time
And they can because their midfield is comprised of box to box, holding, and defensive mids, MAYBE with the exception of Keïta
You can't play pressure with McFred and 4 forwards lmao
Not to mention pretty much everyone on that united team is out of form

i didn't realize until now that the nba had like 10 round drafts decades ago

don't like those comments from dubas too much
oh but the leafs had 4 more minutes of possession, more high value shots, more chances
yeah but they lost 4-1
even with campbell having a good game
what they played matthews - tavares - marner?
that's such a bad lineup
who gets fired first out of keefe or dubas? honestly probably dubas. bringing back the core yet again looks bad. that being said keefe has also made the leafs play pretty lifeless hockey
i
ll be back to see this team lose 5-1 to the blackhawks

are you interested in a marner for rotational pieces trade lol
honestly at that point better than the leafs
so i can't say shit
celest zephyr
marner has been awful
celest zephyr
the tavares signing sucks though
marner and matthews wanted more since tavares was getting paid 11 mill
matthews fair enough, marner a pain
and why does having two number 1 centres and paying them that much make any sense?
dim kettle
I was concerned with the Tavares signing for the Leafs when he was still an islander. The team overachieved the year earlier and cap hell was bound to happen.
dim kettle
Again, I keep saying it, Tavares would be a Stanley Cup champion rn if he stayed with the Isles.
celest zephyr
oh he would and be paid as much if not more
robust grotto
Montreal is in Seattle tonight, battle of the 1917 finals !!!
celest zephyr
the contract wasn't objectively bad in and of itself. other teams were winning to offer more. it just was paying 11 mill for an aging centre when your best player is a centre
robust grotto
Rumor is Seattle will raise a banner @dim ledge
celest zephyr
and there are so many issues with the roster
robust grotto
yeah Tavares was a rough one in hindsight and especially with his new concussion history
dim kettle
I don't even think he's declined, I think it's the roster. He's just another guy when he should be built around.
I really haven't seen Captain Tavares since his last year with the Isles.
celest zephyr
yeah
the issue is the leafs were never ever going to build around him
because they have matthews marner and nylander
and it'd be dumb or at least very bold to in that case
celest zephyr
cap casualty probably
robust grotto
Yeah it’s looking like it
celest zephyr
i don't hate it if the leafs can get two decent d men for the same amount
dim kettle
Tavares knew he was gonna take a backseat to Matthews. He was seen as hot shit in 2018. But it feels like Marty St.Louis last years with Stamkos. He just got lost in the shuffle.
robust grotto
Honestly it could be a good thing in the end. I know a lot of leaf fans HATE Holl
robust grotto
Tavares knew he was gonna take a backseat to Matthews. He was seen as hot shit i...
That’s actually a decent comparison
celest zephyr
i don't like holl but the bigger issue is its muzzin, holl, brodie, rielly and hoping some other guys can be the last 2
sandin and dermott cost the leafs last playoff run, liljgren is questionable at this point, apparently bogosian is on the roster so he's okay
but he's also injured along with muzzin
the leafs just don't have good d depth
robust grotto
If Muzzin is injured they need to just rest him smh
celest zephyr
they can't
they are probably playing liligren now since they have to
and the next guy beyond that? either a guy from the bargain bin or the ahl
robust grotto
They should though it’s only 6 games in. If you can’t rest him now, when can you. I know things are shit now though but idk
That’s crazy, I didn’t know it was this bad

anyways besides that having 7 d men signed sucks
since the leafs have pretty much zero depth
robust grotto
If it makes you feel any better, NYR 7 and 8 d men are Jarred Tinordi and Libor Hajek
dim kettle
At least you have offense. We still haven't had a lead in regulation.
celest zephyr
looks like muzzin is okay actually or at least its just speculation that he's playing hurt
mrazek is out
robust grotto
Mrazek was a poor signing with his injury history
Not that there were a hundred goalies to sign, don’t get me wrong
celest zephyr
oh no he still was a bad signing
robust grotto
Meanwhile Detroit stole Nedejlkovic from Carolina
celest zephyr
at this point they might have to flip him and someone who isn't performing like muzzin for an okay goalie
and then sign another d man for cheap
dim kettle
The Panthers are 6-0 rn. Never thought I would ever think the Rats are for real.
celest zephyr
andersen is a good signing for carolina
the issue is whether or not raanta is a good backup
they should have kept one of Ndejkovic or reimer

Carolina has never been known for good goaltending. I think it's culture thing at this point.

The Pens are still a first round exit team IMO.
robust grotto
agree with both you guys
celest zephyr
not the worst thing when the team is clearly on their last years
its a massive issue when the team is on the other side of it

11-0 blackhawks
dim kettle
robust grotto
Leafs will win tmw
dim kettle
The Blackhawks are too much of a shitshow not to lose.
celest zephyr
have you watched the leafs?
or even knowthem
the expectation is that they'll lose
dim kettle
Yeah, but the Hawks are a bigger shitshow than the Leafs rn.
celest zephyr
idk i'll believe it if the leafs are winning for any extended period of time that game
robust grotto
That’s how I feel too. Trust me I get that it’s not good in Toronto
celest zephyr
and side note even if they do beating the lowest of the low means nothing
celest zephyr
hopefully it builds momentum but with how this team is playing idk
dim kettle
"Look at all the wonderful prizes the Hawks have, an overpriced Seth Jones, MARC ANDER-FLEURY! The Blackhawks are gonna be a real threat this year"
celest zephyr
and its the red wings and then the knights lightning and bruins
yeah uh what momentum
dim kettle
Bolts need to change lines, do something. Offense is lazy af rn
celest zephyr
still going to beat the shit out of the leafs
better stretch right after: kings, flyers, flames, sabres, predators
dim kettle
They have Stammer as a RW rn on Point's line. Yeah, they're definitely trying something new here.
celest zephyr
that being said though if there's one team that's also looked very lethargic right now its the lightning
if neither team can build momentum until that game it could be ugly
dim kettle
They're doing much of the same they did last year, they're just aren't scoring.
robust grotto
Lightning players are still getting over the cup hangover
dim kettle
Perry and Killorn had open nets that they choked on against the Avs Saturday.
robust grotto
They basically had 2 parties. They need time. Also Stammer on the wing could be a real smart play, I like that idea.. worth a try
dim kettle
They needed to change lines. Just looked it up and got my wish.
robust grotto
Yeah that’s decent, I can see that working tbh
dim kettle
They moved Joseph to the second line. The 4th line is all rookies. Gonna take time for them.
Except for Pierre-Édouard Bellemare of course
dim kettle

"RALEIGH!!!!!!!!!!! WE HAVE ACTUAL GOALTENDING NOW. COME TO OUR GAAMMMEEEESSSS!!!"
Fun
celest zephyr
Salt in the wound
the leafs again couldn't sign him
unless he'd take a "hometown discount" which why tf would anyone do that for this current version of the leafs
and his last season for the leafs wasn't good
he was injured, his numbers were worse than campbell's by quite a bit
rittich who the leafs got was okay
hutch was doing enough to play
its nice to see him do well this season. However, sure he was ofc still masking the leafs's holes, but he just straight up wasn't that good last season
robust grotto
Leafs did the right thing bro
Trust me I’m with you here
But it’s still salt to see him doing well, that’s all. Leafs couldn’t afford to give him a raise after the injury history
celest zephyr
oh yeah it for sure is
going to be fun to be having one eye on the rangers this season
if they do better than the leafs leafs are prob not a playoff team
welp columbus doesn't look bad so far either
wet onyx
does the browns still have an elite run stopping defense? i can’t tell at this point
celest zephyr
it looks strong but idk about elite
their pass defense is deff a bigger issue
allowing 16tds so far isn't good
yards per game is good
wet onyx
i was wondering cause i’m deciding on if i should start najee harris or not
celest zephyr
deff henry then
wet onyx
i can’t tell if dalvin cook is good anymore or if he’s washed
celest zephyr
najee harris doesn't seem to be doing much better
celest zephyr
cook has 4.6 y/a
najee is like 3.8
similar yards also despite cook playing 2 less games
cowboys rush d might be a bit better statwise than the browns but not too big of a difference
if its ppr league deff cook
wet onyx
yeah you got a point
celest zephyr
browns give up more receptions but decent bit less yards per reception
wet onyx
kamara had a good game yesterday eh?
dim kettle
smoky fable
that many passing yards is just a good year for mahomes
Shows that the offense isn’t really the problem though. Even if it has some bad drafts and free agents there. That defense has tanked them.
Even with the turnovers that Mahomes has made
celest zephyr
oh yeah for sure
but mahomes is mahomes its too be expected
and even then its still been a down year offensively
i'd say it isn't their main problem but their inability to just outscore teams on o even with bad d has been very noticable
dim kettle
BEARS FOOTBALL!
smoky fable
seems pretty stupid
dim kettle
Just like most things in... BEARS FOOTBALL!
Goofy George and Bean-Accountant Ted just sit back eating baloney sandwiches while the team burns itself to the ground.
smoky fable

dim kettle
I'm not even a Bears fan and yet get pissed off by them. Happens when you force 5 primetime games a year on me and make me wanna hate football.
celest zephyr
i hate that teams have to havea mininum of prime time games
like if the team sucks then don't show them
in the nba bad teams get a few nba tv games and nothing else
maybe a primetime game here or there
robust grotto
No member of the 2010 Blackhawks executive staff will be part of the teams going forward either
dim kettle
The drama is finally over.
robust grotto
Nope it got bigger
dim kettle
Nope it got bigger
And like that. all optimism dies again
robust grotto
Kevin Cheveldayoff, Jets GM, and Quenneville, Panthers HC both knew of the allegations at the time
dim kettle
celest zephyr
force is putting it lightly
a very stoppable "force" that stops itself more than doing anything else
dim kettle
Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Chicago Blackhawks (October 27, 2021) -The Greatest Game
celest zephyr
wouldn't be surprised if tree does a video on the blackhawks for this season
robust grotto
Both Kevin and Joel denied knowing of allegations when asked this past July
celest zephyr
honestly pittsburgh vs toronto is a good candidate
robust grotto
But investigation shows they knew back in 2010
celest zephyr
tbf as much as it sucks can they acknowledge it in public?
like they are going to give pr answers because what's the alternative
robust grotto
Yeah to be fair to those two, they’re not going to say anything otherwise
They’re probably next to get fired though
dim kettle
The Panthers are 6-0 rn. Nothing is gonna happen to Joel there.
celest zephyr
jets are looking good
i could see the jets if they fall off or they are in the playoffs due to a meh division instead of being good
celest zephyr
he's just not been good so far
leafs being 2-4-1 sucks ass but its not the absolute end of the world
marner's just flat out been ass
robust grotto
Bro this kills the entire integrity of the entire leadership of that Blackhawks team
celest zephyr
i mean duh
robust grotto
Toews and Kane, all the front staff, the owner, literally everyone that has a voice
celest zephyr
tbf again it sucks but what do you say something?
like imagine if kane went out and said yeah bowman is a pos
robust grotto
nah it’s not about going public, they needed to go to the cops about it. Players and coaches literally knew that this guy masturbated on one of their teammates back….
celest zephyr
oh yeah for sure they do
in that case sometimes its just a guy has a ton of power
he's the GM of the team
he could boot every single player off of that team
heck he probably has some say in coaches staying or not
it sucks but its still about money
a guy isn't going to lose millions of dollars to rat out their gm
and what he did is awful and morally wrong but if it isn't a crime then a guy's going to lose his job just for the gm to only get fined?
if that
robust grotto
no no no a video coach was doing all the sex stuff, not the GM
smoky fable
I think so
celest zephyr
cuz ngl hard to know if i don't see any source about it
celest zephyr
as scummy as the blackhawks are, the fact that guy got a job at several other places after losing his job for that is disgusting
maybe they didn't know, but to not do enough of a background check to see that is a yikes
robust grotto
I looked for that too. Could be wrong but after skimming the end, it says the Blackhawks never recommended him to other places
But there’s just so much here that maybe someone did and I missed it
celest zephyr
yeah haven't seen it so far either
weird that notre dame didn't give up any documents
robust grotto
def need someone to break this down for us lol
celest zephyr
yeah for sure

They fined the devils more for signing kovalchuk iirc
dim kettle
I swear the NHL just knows the Hawks biggest punishment is the Seth Jones trade and the massive extension they gave him.
That's the only way I can explain this slap on the wrist.
Twitter
Okay, this is becoming a massive rabbit hole now. Fucking disgusting.
robust grotto
Quenneville and Chevy were in that meeting
so there you go lol basically everyone in that front staff decided it was better to fire the guy and pretend it never happened than go to the cops and stop this guy from ever having a chance to do something like that again
dim kettle
Glad to know that team chemistry is more important than human decency, Such a model organization. "The culture is actually damn good"
You know it's only worse being a Bolts fan knowing we were a victim that staff's dynasty.
robust grotto
dude soft quotes here but basically years later, a former teammate from that Hawks team hounded John Doe while both were ice… calling him f-slur and asking him if he ‘liked that b-j”
players absolutely knew
celest zephyr
how do we solve the problem? fire the guy and pretend that we never had any policy that stated stuff like that should never happen
celest zephyr
dude soft quotes here but basically years later, a former teammate from that Haw...
think it was the other guy mentioned actually
robust grotto
Too late now to solve any problem but at the time they really needed to go to the police, fire him and make it public instantly. Totally transparent that this stuff was happening and the organization actually did something about it once it was found out
celest zephyr
yeah definitely
dim kettle
I never hated a hockey team so much rn.
Literally the team cared more about keeping their eyes on the prize then actual respectability of humans.

robust grotto
Idek what to say dude
dim kettle
I'm telling you, I'm never looking at that 2015 Stanley Cups Finals the same way ever again.
celest zephyr
or 2010
celest zephyr
just disgusting how they left that for so long
blackhawks org should just be euthanized
dim kettle
Their an OG 6 team. The NHL's Simp. Nothing will change with this league.
dim kettle
The NHL simps to them no matter how much they suck.
I'm telling you, if this rabbit hole was made by the Avs or Devils they would be paying more than the Hawks are rn,
robust grotto
They went 3 weeks between the meeting and letting the guy go
dim kettle
they might even get removed as a franchaise
No, they would force the owner to sell. Just like the NBA did with Donald Sterling.
robust grotto
Don’t think Wirtz will get anything besides that fine
celest zephyr
yeah true
robust grotto
Could be wrong but I haven’t seen anywhere that says Wirtz knew or was told about it; the highest up the ladder it went was with the team prez, McDonough
celest zephyr
as much as the blackhawks had a moral and ethical duty to do something else man some of the people involved here really should have done something
McDonough and Q look really really bad here
robust grotto
Q has to be fired
celest zephyr
oh he has to for sure
chevy didn't look good either but far from as bad as Q
i definitely think he 100% has to be fired
Bettman might be just asking them to straight up resign
and not let the teams do anything since he did mention that any other teams would have to go through him
if they wanted them to work with their team in the future
MacIsaac is also gone
robust grotto
I agree, it’ll be something to watch for this week
celest zephyr
oh also fuck the blackhawks for letting bowman step aside or resign
his ass should have been kicked out as soon as it got revealed
robust grotto
It’s a joke
All because he’s a Bowman
WOW dude.. the video coach has a lawsuit from a high school player from Michigan .. which happened after the Blackhawks let him go…. dude they could’ve saved that kid ( and the 22 year old intern in Chicago ) if they went to the fucking police
celest zephyr
yeah they should have for sure
just disgusting and reeks of an organization that as a whole refused to take accountability for their actions
