2021-2022 NHL Season Hockey • Page 129

At the rate this season is going the Sabres will end up dressing the rest of them also

 

Keith Yandle with 965 straight games played is remarkable.

Article I just saw about it though didn’t give his average time on ice since it started or anything, that would be interesting to see. I guess a “game played” means you have to complete one shift but like… is there a time requirement to that? A shift could be 30 seconds or two minutes so that seems like an odd measurement so unless he has a few hundred “30 second shift games” that count in this 965 that’s a crazy achievement.

 

I highly doubt that Keith Yandle at any point in his career was playing five minutes a game or less. Defenseman, especially ones that were of his caliber (until recently) usually play 15+ per game

 

Yikes Dell

 

Lucky 13, but it’s okay. Gerry Mayhew is future! *sobs forever*

 

I can't believe I'm still watching these games lol

 

Forever jealous that the Panthers have the superior goal song

 

I would like someone to yeet Aaron Dell into the boards if/when Craig Anderson (WitSec, dead, idk) or Dusty Tokarski (Covid complications) are finally able to return

 

He's been pulling shit like this since at least his sharks days

 

Petition for League wide retirement of #30

 

Crawford better than Price yes please

 

I refuse to believe any model that tells me Cam fucking Ward is better than Tuukka Rask

 

The table leaves out xG, given that rask has a GSAA in the hundreds while Ward was negative (lol), just goes to show how good Boston's defensive play has been in those years for rask to be that low on the list.

 

Next time they play in Weselton, he's getting his ass kicked.

 

I can’t believe the sharks once thought they make the playoffs with a jones dell combo

 

I honestly can't believe he's ever won in the NHL. The Sabres have rolled out like, 10 different goalies or something in three seasons and he's possibly worse than "trying to play through vision issues" Carter Hutton

 

there was a time when the sharks wanted to make him the starter because they thought he was that good

It’s no wonder they’ll never win

 

I would put money on the Flyers acquiring Dell soon.

 

wait I didn’t mean a starter I meant they wanted to sign him long term and thank god they never did that

 

So the same thing Hextall tried to do.

 

Hextall built up a fantastic prospect pool. He tried to build internally without flashy trades. It wasn't his fault everything was squandered.

 

I wouldn't call it fantastic, because Provorov & Sanheim ended up just being very good players instead of stars & the Nolan Patrick pick hurts a lot (although the kid's had some serious injury problems that I wouldn't wish on anybody). He never wanted to bottom out because he didn't want a losing culture around the team, which is fine but they never got a high draft pick except for Provorov & Patrick. Frost has had so many injury problems & other high picks like Ratcliffe & Rubstov are probably not going to make it. Everything adds up after awhile.

 

I (rightly) shit on the Devils plenty, but whew boy imagine if they picked Patrick over Hischier and Kakko over Hughes? yikes

 

In all fairness the consensus was that Patrick would put up great numbers but would be hampered by injury problems. I don’t think anyone foresaw that he was going to be a total bust at the NHL level.
