WTF? Thanks, narc.
Hey man, sorry. I didn't think just mentioning it would sound off the alarms. I didn't report it. I just wondered after all the recent purges and concern over objectifying women why others were removed and not yours.
yeah a bunch of guys have had it changed. It's the new, not new, policy. See JB's no more who's hottest thread.
I dunno. Everybody here loves Cooper. He’s supposedly a great guy and a good coach. But when a coach is saying that his team played two games of the ECF like they were regular-season games that’s a big problem imo.@falguy No worries, man. I didn't know there was a recent change in what's allowed. We cool.
Sooo, is Tampas coaching to blame for their almost yearly playoff exit? When theyre firing on all cylinders they're as good as anyone, yet they cant seem to keep it going in the postseason.
I know this is crazy but we’re just chatting on the ol’ message board here. As it turns out I don’t actually make these decisions.
To be fair, I bet they're taking the opponent into account. Nobody comes back against the Capitals.
other than Bucky actually being Rob Blake, I thought that was probably the case. what I was referring to was the confusion about it being a 3 game series.
yeah. why did they get destroyed by Boston in the second round? And why didn't they win a Cup yet?
Why is it such a sin to discuss these things? If the bolts get swept do you think they would have underperformed relative to their talent level?
It shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the NHL playoffs and overreacts to a very small sample size of games.
No it doesn’t. Literally all playoffs are small sample sizes. Coaches still get fired for underperforming them all the time, rightly or not.
For making it to the Conferemce Finals in 3 of the last 4 years? Show me.
I don’t think many locally are saying he should get fired but this year is looking to be a disappointment. Making the conference finals is cool but getting absolutely boat raced is going to lead to questions.
Guess we should just shut down the message board if people can’t even converse in here.
Oh give it a rest dude. The Caps are playing lights out right now and Tampa doesn't have an answer for it to this point. I'm just calling it like I see it, and I don't really care if you agree with it or not.
Hopefully you guys can have some success in the postseason one of these years.
I would normally agree with you, but Aaron seems to have different rules of how to cheer for teams that I'm failing to understand.
That's not the same as saying "all fans of teams worthy of praise may profess nothing but praise for their team", which seems to be Aaron's very silly position..
Not even close. You can be critical of a team without saying things like this group/coach has had no postseason success when they’ve won at least 2 playoff rounds in 3 of 4 seasons. Some franchises go decades without winning a single round of the playoffs. Some perspective is warranted. This series has been bad for them so far, but the last was the complete opposite. Did Cooper forget how to coach? Team just stopped trying? Those are silly things to say or believe imo. There are valid reasons Washington has had the upper hand. Maybe see how Tampa responds before we bury them.
Yeah. I misread it and edited my post.
No but teams have a window to win one. The Bolts are in theirs now and while the team is young, things change quick. So I feel like there is some sense of wasting an opportunity.
