2019-20 Quest for the cup(The Carter Hart era begins)

[awaz]

I heard this on one of the games last night.

Since 1994 every team that has won the Stanley cup had at least 1 player on that team who had previously won a cup.

That is pretty nuts. I was thinking about that too. The Flyers don't really even have anyone who has been deep. Giroux is the only one left from the Cup Final run. The number is probably pretty small on playoff series wins. Giroux, Couturier, Gudas, MacDonald, Voracek, Raffl..

I don't want to sign someone who sucks just to fill the role, but I definitely wouldn't hate adding someone who has at least gone deep.

I'm sure Williams has had a big influence on the Canes this season.

Bacon,
How about your Avs picking up Makar the Hobey Baker award winner and throw him right into playoff competition and he scores a goal.

That was pretty cool. Kid looked like he belonged in the nhl. The Av's may be a strong team for years if they get a solid goalie.

Dont forget they have the number 4 pick in the draft as well.

Flyers hire veteran coach Vigneault

In the comment section there is not one positive comment on the hiring of Vignault. One of them suggests we panicked when we didn't get Q. Do you think that is true?

Meltzer: A deep dive into the hiring of Vigneault

Nice read! I really am interested if Gordon will stay with the team in some capacity? The players seemed to like him and I think he can be an asset overall moving forward. Thoughts?

Lol at the Penqueers! At least that was a bonus to a shitty season.

There are a lot of stupid fucks who don't know shit. Dude is a proven winner, great with youth developement and a good all around x"s and 0's game. We'll see next season if he is a good fit, but realistically who else is out there with his pedigree?

I'm still shocked TB not only lost the series, but swept. Yzerman has to be on fire! Unreal.

He does have a great x's and o's game. Is a proven regular season winner and somewhat in the playoffs because he has been to two cups. Although he is very bad at developing talent. There is nobody out there with his pedigree that's why i am questioning the comment that said did we panic after losing out on Q.

I guess the moves that Columbus made are paying off now but going forward they are screwed. Good luck to them they played a great series.

I don't think Fletcher panicked honestly. There is no doubt Q was his first choice obviously, but AV has a pretty good track record, despite what the Rags beat writers are saying. Are you surprised? Vancouver beat writers have pretty much said opposite. The bottom line is if Fletcher brings in the key pieces needed, we will do well with AV. His success also had stud goaltenders ( Lunquist, Luongo), we have Carter Hart.

I didnt base my question on the NY beat writers i found articles that were quoting Rags management as saying he isn't good in developing players not to mention countless Rags fans i know letting me know it was a bad choice because we are so young.I havent found any articles from Vancouver beat writers stating that he is good at developing young talent.

 

[lasgop8]

If it takes him until 2020-2021 to stick with the team Gee should be 33-34 by then it will be cutting it close to having all of our weapons.

But we have the great Andrew McDonald to be our veteran presence. Well like Bacon said maybe we have 25 guys with a cup next season.

Who knows these days. People see things certain ways anymore and objectification is a myth in reporting. I like the hire, it def isn't a move backwards IMO. We have the Goalie now so excuses for players not getting it done wont fly this season.

Also the fact you are talking to Rags fans is highly disappointing, I thought you had better sense than that lol.
