probably true but both of kings titles came under such improbable runs, being 8th seed and then being down 0-3 and going to game 7 3 times in a row

probably true but both of kings titles came under such improbable runs, being 8t...
That 2011-2012 Kings team was expected to have a big run before that season and the Kings underachieved for most of the year.
So it isn't what it seems.

Once they fired Terry Murray and traded for Jeff Carter, the team got hot.
2011-12 was such a weird year. The fucking Yotes were the 3rd seed. That's all you need to know.
honest umbra
also when the kings got gaborik lol

Same w the Blues in 2019. Fired Yeo, brought in Berube. Binnington got a shot and the rest is history
dim kettle
Of course the context was different. The Blues were last place in the west in January. While the Kings before the 2011-12 season was seen to be pushing for a run when they traded for Mike Richards.
I remember when the Kings were like 26-27th in scoring. Definitely see why they fired Terry Murray.
robust grotto
absolutely, every run is different. every team has different expectations, goals, etc
dim kettle
Yeah, I just think as time goes by the NHL and fans have given this narrative that the 2012 Kings were this massive underdog coming into the playoffs without much of the context. Honestly, I think the Devils were really the underdog story that simply didn't happen because they didn't win the cup.
robust grotto
They absolutely were and they’ve only been to the playoffs one time since then
You’re right. At least the kings were on the up prior. They played enough playoff games after to prove that. While the devils fluttered and faded

I’ll be honest I don’t hate it
If the owner feels comfortable with 2 guys leading the way then so be it, that’s his right. There is no special formula to this shit. If he feels a 3rd person could upset any dynamic or direction then it is what it is. I don’t view not having an executive VP as 4th rate
dim kettle
If the owner feels comfortable with 2 guys leading the way then so be it, that’s...
The problem is what qualifies Pederson as an Executive? Like being a good HC doesn't translate well into being a good Executive. Phil Jackson and Mike Holmgren would tell you that first-hand. Shad Khan doesn't care and that's why they're the Jag'offs of the NFL.
robust grotto
But that’s not for me and you to say, you know? How don’t we know that Pederson can handle being an executive
I agree though that being a HC doesn’t translate to anything in that kind of role. 100%

That's gonna be something I'm gonna laugh at for years. The Flyers traded for Ristolainen!

If they got him for Hagg and a 3rd or something then it’s like.. alright, it’s not god awful. But this ??? Even if neither of those players work for Buffalo, it’ll still be highway robbery.

Because Flyers, yeah.
robust grotto
Nahhh I actually support this reason
Barring injury or suspension; he’s on pace to hit game 1000 against Nashville like a few days before the deadline. Not too many players hit 1K with one team
I totally get it, I actually think Giroux himself is pushing for that. Team at least owes it to him to let him reach that milestone
dim kettle
The fact that Giroux is gonna have 1k games played already in the NHL. 🧓

Crazy lol
I def agree with that logic though. God knows when or if the Flyers will ever get another moment like that again

The ways things are going, have fun being with the Devils in forgotten mediocrity land for a decade, Philly.

It’s unreal that they’ve literally gone our whole lifetimes without a stable goalie. Hart is the closest thing and he was buns last year

Hart really looked like a stud in 2019, man. Thought the Flyers were gonna be Finals contenders. And then none of that shit happened.
robust grotto
Had nhl gone to the Olympics, he would’ve been primed to be the starter, or at worst backup, for Canada 💀
dim kettle
The Flyers the last decade would get 1 or 2 key players and then draft nothing but busts that you'd trade for scraps 4 years later.
Nolan Patrick get's selected with the second pick in the 2017 draft and nothing ever happened with him. Meanwhile, Nick Suzuki was on the board.
Oops
robust grotto
Looking at their history and the common theme is they don’t hit after the second round. Also, 2016 first rounder German Rubtsov only as 4 GP. It’s 2022… if he’s still in the AHL then that’s a bust
dim kettle
This is just sad to look at.
robust grotto
Don’t look at number 7, don’t do it
No but.. yeah Patrick has far and away been one of the biggest misses in recent NHL memory
dim kettle
Don’t look at number 7, don’t do it
Really traded him for a second round pick
robust grotto
Lowkey… worked for us
The kid we took is a decent prospect putting up solid numbers in his OHL team. He was on the Canada WJC team too before that was cancelled. Andersson has 13 GP this year in LA of all places, so at least we moved on. Happens
Also for that 2017, nothing against Nico but with revisionist history Devils should’ve taken Miro first.

Blackouts are annoying but I understand why they have them. It’s to push people to watch on their local network. The local network makes revenue off of commercials that are played during the game. If blackouts went out, more people would just skip watching it on their local channels

robust grotto
Yup, everyone gets a slice of the pie. Local channels need the commercial revenue

Blackouts are annoying but I understand why they have them. It’s to push people ...
On the flip side fans who don’t live in the area can’t watch their team play unless it is on Sunday Night Baseball. People who can’t watch their team probably aren’t tuning in to other games. If you didn’t have blackouts I imagine overall viewership would go up and in turn revenue would go up because of ratings? Or no?
dim kettle
Every sport has this problem. But the blackouts is gonna become a big problem if it isn't already is. Let me tell you from my perspective. Here in the Florida area we have Bally Sports Sun and Bally Sports Florida. Well, if you don't have cable, you're not getting those channels. Dish, Youtube TV, Hulu, Sling, you can't get those channels.

Like, If you're comparing the Bills' defeat to the Jags to the one Colts had against them in week 18 you're missing the point in all this. Carson Wents, when it mattered most. When given the chance to show he could lead his team into the playoffs against the team who ended up with the number one pick. He played like fucking doo doo.
celest zephyr
i mean objectively who's a clear upgrade on the market
wentz isn't the guy but who is that the colts can get
dim kettle
Honestly, it's the Colts fault for trying to compete with the likes of Rivers and Wentz instead of getting a young QB.
dim kettle
98% of playoff and SB teams within the history of the NFL start with the QB they drafted.
You may get the Brees' of the world. But you look at any successful franchisee. It all starts with getting your guy in the draft.
celest zephyr
wentz was a bad choice in the first place
2021 qb draft had talented guys in it
this draft looks like a crapshoot with no clear prospects that are worth taking
dim kettle
Wentz was a gamble and the Colts lost. They're just a QB away from being a SB contender and the Colts front office is still hurting from the Luck saga.
Maybe next time you shouldn't be careless with a franchise QB
celest zephyr
being just a QB away is nice but hard to find the right guy
a lot more other positions i'd rather be a guy away from
plus paying a good team and not having the right qb for years is expensive and if guys leave then its having to retool/ reset all over again
49ers are like that. a QB away but with how long lance will take to develop very likely going to need to build parts of the team back up if he even pans out in like 3-4 years
the colts also haven't won much lately. hard to convince guys to stay for long if the team can't back it up with any meaningful success
dim kettle
Your foundation always have to start with the QB otherwise nothing else matters. Period. The Niners drafted Lance for long term success. It doesn't matter who leaves or stays on the team moving forward the roster should be built around the QB not the other way around.
celest zephyr
yep
colts have taken too long to realize that
old man rivers and wentz aren't going to cut it
dim kettle
This is why I kept pushing for Lance to start last season. Because you have to know if he's the guy and what he needs in his roster. You go into year 2 and still don't know what he needs to be better.
Honestly, the Colts were not getting a QB in the 2020 draft. They were a little too good to get a top 5 pick.
And really the only QB would've been Jordan Love for them. ugh.
And they didn't even have a 1st round pick.
Ironically, the Niners had that pick and that pick was traded to the Bucs to get Tristan Wirfs.

The fact that the Giants allowed Gettleman to retire instead of firing him shows how much the Giants ownership are spineless cowards.

i could not care less about that, all i care about is that he is in a retirement home instead of 1925 Giants Drive
robust grotto
It happened because management was desperate to be relevant and quick. Yes, Gettleman fumbled the plot, but Mara had to approve every single signing and draft pick as well
Gettleman went fishing with money and picks that were green lighted by Mara. Mara said yes to Saquon, to Jackrabbit, to Vernon, to Solder. Both just ruined the organization without even knowing

It's not all bad for them. 2 first round picks. Unfortunately, you're still in a situation where you regret picking Barkely over a Josh Allen a few years back.

how realistic that is, idk

IDK why the Giants would still want to see another year of Danny Derps. In his 3 years in the league what have you seen that indicates that this new regime what want anything to do with him for even one season? Yeah, he makes a lot of great throws, but he also makes a lot of shitty ones.

next year there should be plenty of good quarterbacks to choose from, don’t rush into things by taking a half assed qb now

I think it’s just because the giants are stuck in a corner. Like their options are to trade assets for a QB, draft a qb in a bad class like you said, or use cap space to sign a starter
wet onyx
i think we should sign mitch trubisky tbh
at the very least he’d be a solid backup
he could be a starter in the nfl imo

Today I read an old ass 1957 article about how a lot of baseball rules are basically just ignored cause players, umps and fans all have gotten used to the game being played other way
The main example was that the rule book stated that sliding into the 2nd baseman to difficult a double play should be interference and thus the batter would be out at first no matter where the 2nd baseman throw ended up
Back then and for decades that rule was never enforced lol

We must have watched a different game then cause I saw Chase cook Ramsey over and over
Hell they showed on the Bengals last offensive play of the game that Chase broke Ramsey's ankles or something and would've been wide open for a game winning TD if the Bengals actually could block for 2 seconds

Bengals better be doing something this off season. You never know if they'll ever get back to the SB again.

They probably won't
This was just a hot streak they rode to the playoffs, and the Bills are probably going to make sure they get there.
And the Chiefs won't absolutely choke away a game like that again.

It's Andy Reid. He makes choking on BBQ ribs a constant.
