celest zephyr
pretty difficult to win a series against a team which hasn't lost two in a row since the end of the 2018-2019 postseason
celest zephyr
you won
plus tampa is obviously like hell to eliminate
highly doubt the leafs can pull it off but eh
1-1 is pretty good. tampa has homecourt now
dim kettle
The Leafs were able to capitalize on the Bolts' mistakes. If the Bolts make mistakes early on, they're fucked.

leafs pk is also amazing. plus the leafs make plenty of their own when they are doing well

PK couldn't do anything today.

i wouldn't worry if i'm a tampa fan. leafs going to leaf themselves into a loss

I think the Leafs win this series if the Bolts keep making dumb mistakes. Like, Mikhail Sergachev has been playing very miserable hockey as of late. Lot of terrible passes, PK, etc

Looking like the Bruins are what we thought they were so far. Gotta love it
Oh I was talking about you guys hahaha
robust grotto
I took a little break last night so I’m catching up this morning
My game one absolutely drained and deflated me
robust grotto
Oh last thing I would do is say it was worse what you went though hahaha plus it wasn’t my first 3 OT
it was just the manner of how poor we were that deflated me more than anything but I don’t wanna harp on that right now
dim kettle
I mean, losing to a 3rd string goalie at the end. And having a goal taken away late. That was frustrating even for me
robust grotto
Yeah for sure. Is what it is though, any NYR fan who cries about refs is just lost. Reality is that the offense created next to nothing come the third period and beyond. Veteran players nowhere to be found. Not once did the rangers create a chance where you had to applaud the pens goalie for making a great save. Dull, but we go again today
celest zephyr
Yeah watched the 3ot and they didn’t look that dangerous
Pens looked far more lethal
celest zephyr
PP was key
Yeah leafs special teams sometimes aren’t good
Leafs PP hasn’t been good in the playoffs the past few years also
Keeping the leafs to special teams probably favours Tampa
dim kettle
I mean the PK has scored 2 SHGs in 2 games. Tampa keeps making dumb mistakes, the Leafs are winning
robust grotto
Yeah watched the 3ot and they didn’t look that dangerous
That’s exactly it. But NYR fans would rather blame the refs than be honest w themselves smh
dim kettle
Yep, sounds like NY fans
celest zephyr
yeah but keeping the other team from scoring is the main goal
SHGs are nice but just flash
seems like the big issue for the rangers. just don't have the goalscorers
like i'd rather the bolts score 1 or 2 ppg then 3 and get a shg
dim kettle
SHGs are flash, but they’re also momentum changers
celest zephyr
they are for sure but so is giving up 7/8 penalties in a row
dim kettle
Happened to Tampa game 1, it happened to Toronto game 2. Refball has been horrible.
celest zephyr
always dislike refball deciding games
toronto outplayed tampa g1 so idk if refball really cost the bolts there
robust grotto
seems like the big issue for the rangers. just don't have the goalscorers
We have the guys but they need to show up and be selfish. Everyone wants to pass. It’s the reason why we haven’t had a captain in 5 years, it’s a passive group
Tuesday genuinely felt like a game from 10 years ago. Hank keeping us alive, Rick Nash aka Panarin, not driving the bus when we need him most
One game though. I don’t want to be too negative
dim kettle
Yeah, no time to panic yet, but some game 1s set tones for series. Game 1 in 2019 against the Jackets for example. But that was a gut feeling I had then that it was downhill from there. Reality is, the Pens are still at the disadvantage. Capitalizing on that is all that matters rn
robust grotto
Yup. Well said. Need to be more aggressive with shots. NYR love the extra pass, they love to pretend they’re some sort of prime Barcelona team… pass it into the net. It’s a huge issue
celest zephyr
yeah that's somethig that has to be learned
and plus with a backup goalie they have to test the guy
i've seen it before with the leafs where they pass too much and don't shoot
really just experience for the rangers this season. guys have to learn and the playoffs is a great opportunity to learn that lesson
dim kettle
Panthers really have a chance tonight of going down 0-2 in the series.
celest zephyr
meh don't trust washington's goalies
florida seems probably done for if they lose two home games in a row
got to be demoralizing
dim kettle
To be honest, that 3rd period was pretty demoralizing if you ask me.
Went from hope to death in just under 20 minutes.
celest zephyr
yeh but its still just one game
momentum can be a big thing though, as tampa finally tried at the end of game 1 and that rolled into game 2
hopefully leafs fighting back at end of g2 means something
dim kettle
yeh but its still just one game
We'll see. But you have to think about it, this is against a team that has nothing to lose for against a team with little playoff experience besides last year that had little adversity all season long. This is a must win for Florida.
robust grotto
The thing is, Washington is big and nasty
It’s not just Wilson and Ovi but even Oshie, Mantha,Eller, Carlson, Orlov
Could actually be tougher physically than Florida

The Caps are the vets in the playoffs. Maybe the 8th seed but the seeding is a sham in the east.

So I had been thinking about the Pats weird ass draft
And I was reminded by an article where Jerod Mayo was saying we have some young linebackers coming up
I totally forgot we took Cameron McGrone last year
Dude was hurt all year, needed a redshirt year
May explain why Bill didn't take a linebacker
haughty moss
yeah that's what I thought while watching the draft
he seems committed letting the younger guys at LB play it out
dim kettle
May explain why Bill didn't take a linebacker
Of course it doesn't explain why he took a guy who wasn't projected to even be a early 2nd rounder with his first rounder. But hell, at least he's actually patient with his draft picks.
rustic ore
Nakobe Dean would’ve been disgusting in that Pats D scheme
rustic mountain
I think so too but Bill didn't think so I guess
With McGrone, Uche, and Bently already there I guess
We also signed some Cleveland Browns linebacker. I am just intrigued by the younger backers to see if they do anything
McGrone especially. But Shadow is right.
Cole Strange was just a bad move that early
Marcus Jones could be good
dim kettle
Then Strange will turn out to be pro bowler and be praised for the pick when they fail to realize they failed at the draft game with that pick. It's like Mickey Loomis with the Saints. Oh yes, Olave might turn out to be really good, you gave up multiple picks in a much better draft next year for a guy who was projected to fall to you if you stayed. Same with the Davenport pick a few years ago. Like, this is not how the draft game works here.
rustic mountain
There is one thing that I've been reading that doesn't quite get explored enough though
haughty moss
With McGrone, Uche, and Bently already there I guess
need them to take a leap
rustic mountain
I am not defending Bill with the Strange pick
But in the draft room you have 31 other war rooms to deal with
You don't know who is taking who
You don't know if someone is moving up
In some aspect, I can understand getting the player you are most wanting. But with that in mind, that means Bill valued Cole Strange as his highest pick
Which I think he did, considering he said he would have taken Strange with 22
21*
haughty moss
Like I mentioned before, I don't bother with my opinion on Bill's picks anymore his stans online always think it's a home run
rustic mountain
I don't think it was by any means nor am I defending it
sweet tree
Twitter
rustic mountain
But I can respect him saying "Strange is the player we value highest"
And sticking to it, building his team how he wants to
Will it be good? I think the fuck not
dim kettle
I think we can get something from the Pats and Saints recent drafting is that it's not always about the players in terms of whether or not you like a team's draft. Sometimes it's about the approach, the strategy, the execution, the philosophy.
rustic mountain
And I absolutely agree with that. I just kinda think sometimes these coaches beat themselves with it
Like yes, you want to establish let's say a very aggressive man defense
You telling me you can't find a spot for Devin Lloyd to do that?
You're telling me that you value Cole Strange's abilities so highly that you will pass on the potential of a Devin Lloyd or Nakobe Dean
That's where I find my issue
rustic mountain
Because let's say Cam McGrone and Josh Uce pan out
haughty moss
we could have a top 5 pick and he'd go center
rustic mountain
Devin Lloyd in that shit would be outstanding still
I just don't get why we do this then wonder "shit where is all the talent"
dim kettle
It's one thing to protect your young QB. I mean, Zach Wilson could tell you horrors stories of that in just his first year. But who is Mac gonna throw to? Who's carrying the ball?
rustic mountain
We passed on it because valued Cole Strange
Bill also over values mid tier players
rustic mountain
Shit Brandon Lloyd, Reche Caldwell, Jabar Gaffney, and Kenbrell Thompkins prove that shit wrong
No wonder Brady left, dude took discounts and was given scraps
Gronk and Edelman were great in their time
But they were easily the outliers
haughty moss
right
dim kettle
At the end of the day, Bill is a defensive minded guy. When it comes to evaluating talent he gonna see more in defensive players than offensive ones. Yes, he got Gronk and Hernandez in the same draft, Edelman was good in his role. Were able to make Wes Welker really good. But god, that was over a decade ago. The game has changed.
haughty moss
like not every guy is gonna turn into star but they are fixated on their pathway with players. Idk I just don't like passing up on some elite dynamic playmakers all the time

turns into a bust

You could've argued like 4 years ago that Bill wanted to replace Edelman for the future. Because Brady loves his slot guys. But as shown with Brady in the Bucs offense. That doesn't always seem like the case.
haughty moss
oh yeah that guy lol..

Bill really loves his slot guys. Welker, Edelman. Like, it worked for Brady because he loves slot guys. But I don't think Mac and Brady are the same QB. Something has to change on that.

outside looking in I feel hes one of the bigger issues at the club atm, but outside looking in is the highlighted point here. I dont watch Arsenal unless Liverpool are playing them so maybe he actually has improved you guys

whats wrong with this
like i do agree klopps resigning shouldnt even be questioned
hes one of the worlds best, if not the best
but arteta has been good to deserve an extension regardless of whether he finishes top 4 or right outside it
dim ledge
Why would you even compare the two? Not to rank on arteta dude but like what's the relevance
honest umbra
i dont think he was directly comparing them, he was just saying its weird how ones being questioned even though both klopp/pep have got none of those questions
again, ik theyre both a level above him
short spindle
For fuck sake what a shitty game
Allegri ball is horrid
honest umbra
yes, no one is saying to question them
but arteta is new(er)
and with how things have looked this szn, giving him an extension wasnt really up for question
dim ledge
I think it was but as I said yesterday outside looking in
honest umbra
its weird how people expect managers to have immediate success these days
dim ledge
This is literally the meme from Borat fate
honest umbra
like in the age of two absolutely brilliant managers in klopp/pep
dim ledge
"I buy clock radio he must have clock radio"

I'm not saying arteta should be immediately successful
honest umbra
the original tweet is about "waiting till the end of the season"
dim ledge
I'm saying that from what I've seen to me it doesn't make sense
dim ledge
No because as Ajay said that's currently their ambition
honest umbra
so why not the extension
dim ledge
Because of how other things have gone? Getting rid of players who have been good elsewhere and lacking any consistency in form while starting players who arsenal fans argue about deserving to start
Because he isn't doing better than Emery
Because they lack leadership and a distinct style to their play
honest umbra
if managers listened to their teams on who deserved to "start"
i think there would be 22 players on the pitch
and its hard to control players who have been good elsewhere, some people fit different systems
dim ledge
That's the thing though I don't see a consistent system under Arteta
honest umbra
emery is an amazing coach in his own right but you're just setting yourself for a "man u complex" where you keep comparing each manager to its last without giving the present one their due
id argue they have looked good, played well
they have a lot of young players
no real drama creators except xhaka being weird at times
ive enjoyed watching arsenal more this year than most teams
dim ledge
As in captain xhaka
dim ledge
It's weird choices under Arteta that's all I'm saying
I don't think he deserved the extension but I also think he's one of arsenal's bigger problems so I'm biased
honest umbra
liverpool, man city and chelsea (?) are more talented
no team was getting top 3 in the league but them
it came down to like 5-6 other teams fighting for the 4th spot
and with the awful start arsenal had and the run they have went on to be in this position is pretty impressive
dim ledge
I just don't think that run is due to arteta and I think they would have more of a chance at a better finish or at least more consistency next season I'd they decided to look elsewhere
Parts of a whole etc etc but I think this will just be Ole 2.0
Time will tell
honest umbra
he would get all the blame if they hadnt went on the run
and gets no credit when they do
thinking its better on the other side of the lake is sometimes not the move
who they do get as a coach and how would they better?

I'll give you that I don't really know who's out there for management rn
So in that capacity I get it

What’s arteta done

dim ledge
From my angle it just seems that arsenal's top brass are complacent and comfortable with arteta and have the same mindset as united where they don't want to sack a "club legend" as long as he isn't complete and total shit
Hence the Ole 2.0 comment

And then went and did well at Ajax

is arteta not given credit for the young players playing well in arsenals current system?
burnt cedar
He has but again with that
When he came in he did not go into the project youth project
The signings he made were all for the short term
Only when Willian got injured is when he decided to finally trust esr
Ofc he takes credit for the further development of them
But it’s not like these were not talented youngsters already on the cusp of the first team

but building off this year is good
instead of just being done with him and starting new again

Difference is this a solid foundation for the next man to come in
There is no next man
Because we’ve missed out on all the good ones
So you’re forced to just let arteta do his thing
Next season he’ll have Europe to balance
And if he’s able to show that he can do both
Then fair enough

instead of just being done with him and starting new again
But if he can’t you end up here regardless
