An interesting parallel to read my debates with you and with Spuds in this thread about the same post really... you definitely appear more the troll than any of us.

So righteous... its good to see you apply yourself!!! #rylandstrong I could be wrong though... Brian Clark probably should qualify as all-star LB material, that guy was very under-rated.

I think he's in Net360 too

You're so shruggy today!!! #lifesohard You just started arguing against something I never said... I didn't blame Helle for the loss, I just said he didn't win the game for them Detroit would have been a great game to rest him... we are now starting a road trip and judging by your standards - and probably by Helle's energy level... Comrie will get his first start against the Blues - that should work out well

If iHeart was a man, you wouldn't have said that. Just kidding.

So when do you suggest playing your backup goalie? Against the best teams?

The guy obviously failed at life... cut him some slack.

Maybe you could say early 2000s bombers... but I do agree that every D needs a 'damned good' MLB - not Sam Hurl or Pierre Luc Labbe... I think its more a matter of defences that don't fall apart without an all-star MLB... bend but don't break Ds need playmakers and a very very strong MLB to influence the direction of play Pressure guys like Nelson, Jones and Thorpe utilize their front seven in a variety of ways and have less focus on the MLB Hall did some creative things this year... but he always has and always will drift back to his conservative zone tendencies...

Agreed... but if you look at Halls career his D needs an all star MLB more than anything - a speed guy who can read and recover quickly - basically flush the play to the outside basically someone to make up for halls passive tendencies... I'm not sure who we'd bring in though if you have woods or muamba in the middle all of a sudden loffler can focus on safety and wild can rack up tackles that being said I think Nelson is a better coord in this era

Maybe we're arguing the same thing - I think their bounce back is due to helle's performance last year jets didn't have confidence in their goalies and the effects were very noticeable

What league do you watch? Every team plays its backup against weak teams... you don't run your best goalie ragged

Except no one blamed Helle... he just didn't carry the entire load himself and just looked tired by the end of that game Starting your backup against one of the worst teams in the league is a fairly acceptable strategy

You could be right... but I still see this team disappear - the difference now is that Helle bails them out until their confidence returns Very few games I've seen where there's 60 minutes of effort - but that's the case with a lot of teams too

Debt ratio and annual operating income is a bit scary but that's probably due to the recent changes in the dollar - would think most of their costs are in USD Don't see how NYI, Phoenix and Carolina can survive without constant cash infusions from the league

Um the post you're quoting said I would be fine with Hall staying if we signed an all star level MLB Wild is not an MLB - tried that already, he's better as WIL maybe you're too committed to arguing...?

Well we're top three in the league... so I'd say that is the difference - this team regularly disappears for a period or two

Comrie should have started tonight... its ridiculous to ride Helle like this At least the debate as to 'what has changed is settled'... Helle not bailing them out tonite...

Didn't they also talk about a big bodied traditional MLB as well?

I've said before that Richie hall with mo Lloyd is a grey cup D... without an absolute beast in the middle, you're done for sigb muamba and keep hall - sure? i just think Nelson gets more out of wild and santosknox than hall will

Hope spooner is signed soon

No it would not 'just' mean that a team would move to Calgary... ??

Really would just be unfathomable if Calgary ended up in Seattle while so many bible belt teams are struggling with attendance.

I saw our D get shredded too nelson is a proven commodity - ottawas problem was letting too much talent walk in the offseason

Its going to be painful if we watch top DCs move around while Walters/Osh discuss Hall's future and then ultimately decide there's just a few 'tweaks' to be made... Get Nelson in here now...!!! This is a GC team with Nelson - not all that different from Hall in a lot of ways just way way more aggressive
