Dubas should grab someone from the stands to replace Babcock during the intermission, because the team has clearly given up on him.

I would like similar treatment for Colliton in the future. Dude calls out the team's work ethic after they get spanked by the Flyers and they respond by getting shut-out by the Hurricanes.

Another day, another Red Wings loss.

First time in this 8 game streak they scored more than 2 goals, though!

I very much enjoy that like 90% of the B8 NHL fans that post in here are fans of bad/rebuilding teams and it's almost like a competition to see who is worse.

The Leafs are already half way there too, give it another month of Babcock.

Shadow Dino: I was going to drop Strome after this game, only reason I didn't after yesterday was because LA seemed like a ripe opportunity... and it sure was, now I feel compelled to keep him. Dammit!

Every bad thing I see Leafs fans post about Babcock, I feel the pain. He's making the same questionable and stubborn choices I saw for years, just in a new city.

Probably iffy teams built by committee rather than paying half their payroll on one line. The problem is being good ALL the time would be almost impossible, because teams built by committee suck balls BECAUSE they don't have the lights out players.

I mean, most teams have gotten more than one goal from their bottom six forwards, so while it would obviously still be a disadvantage, it wouldn't be quite as bad as it here!

So with Tarasenko being out for 5 bloody months my (non b8) fantasy team has taken a big hit. Any advice on who I should replace him with that's available between

Gallagher
Hornqvist
Perron
Schmaltz
Armia

It's a standard categories league so things like shots on goal as well as hits come into play

Yeah Gallagher seems like the most reliable option there, although Perron has some upside as he's getting top six time on a team that has been underachieving and should improve.

Gallagher & Perron were the two I've been debating between. If I compare last season totals Gallagher is the best option but going by this season thus far now that we are a solid 3 weeks in Perron leads in most categories other than shots on goal.

Also Perron is the 2nd line RW for the blues but hes been great thus far hes 6 and 6 for G&A.
Also unfortunately penalty minutes is an real category I always seem to lose except that one year I had tom wilson

You can see the categories here. All the stuff like adds and current rankings arent relevant

This is currently

This is last season

Mmm, yeah Gallagher does have way more shots. While Perron has more hits it's not enough offset the shot difference, plus Gallagher's historical hit stats are higher than Perron's history too.

Gallagher probably is the way to go.

I just laughed so damn hard.

I was going to post in here how I benched Holtby @ Toronto and expected him to end with like, a win, a 1.00 GAA and .962 SV% stat line. And was going to say "don't let me down Holtby".

Just checked the box score and let in a goal in the first minute on the first shot. 90.00 GAA, .000 SV% when I was looking at it (18:57 left in the first).

Classic.

All these articles today about how the Leafs aren't tough enough to win makes me realize we've come full circle from like 3-4 years ago when all the articles were about how the Leafs were stupidly prioritizing toughness in a league where you only win with skill.

Took my own advice and grabbed Perron for my team while Landeskog is on IR. Was also considering JVR but I think the Blues are the better team with more upside. Gallagher wasn't available but both Drouin and Armia were and they've put up good numbers so far too...

Watched Vancouver/Anaheim last night, my first time this year watching either team. Very fun game! Canucks ran into a combination of bad luck and Gibson but might be dangerous. Anaheim should be a lot better than last year too. Oddly enough, it's looking like the Pacific might actually be better and more competitive than the Central this year!

lololol that was such a hilarious ending to that game. Crawford makes a great save on a 2-on-1 only to completely lose track of the puck and give Doughty an easy tap-in for the win.

Blackhawks are going nowhere until the entire hockey ops department is replaced.

The Red Wings can't even be competitive in these losses. Each game is just a contest to see if the blowout can be bigger than the last game.

One win in the last 12 games, and outscored 52-20 in that time period.
