Require the line of scrimmage must be inside the 35 yard line to attempt a place kick. Also introduce the rouge for punts downed into the end zone (but not those that go out of bounds).

Also Staples has a lot of connections with the Islanders and the Devils would need the Islanders permission to speak with someone like Lou.

They are also rarely rumored about because owners rarely talk to media and they are usually the only ones in the know about a change. That tells me HBSE have probably reached out to outside candidates.

Plus he has always been more volatile as a goalie. He ended up in the minors after being the big piece coming back to Vancouver in the Luongo trade. His middle season in Calgary (the season before Tkachuk and JG’s last season) he basically submarined their season with bad play.

I don’t think Bob has had the type of injuries Markstrom has had. He basically had his knee bent backwards twice in a year causing him to miss weeks each time.

Markstrom isn’t fixable. It isn’t a coincidence he started sucking after two lower body injuries. It happens, they should just move on (but they won’t).

Because turfing the goalie you just gave an extension two months ago embarrasses the GM.

Fitzgerald is calm and focused, he is not one to do something reactionary **looks over at the corpse of Ondrej Palat making $6 million**

They were above 98% in Micah’s probabilities in October.

The PP coach is the same as last year. The problem with the PK is mostly goaltending. It was top-5 in the league when they were getting saves.

I saw them live in Florida during the first losing streak. They didn’t look bad, just offensively challenged. The goaltending since then has just been deflating. If it holds up and the Philly and Columbus games don’t happen they probably look different and are treading water without Jack.

Keep the coach, make the front office changes and let them decide on the coach.

I’m a fire the coach guy usually, but I can’t lay this at Keefe’s feet.

He’s been bad since his injury last year.

For clarity: New sports *owner*

Fine work by our brilliant GM.

This really seems like the Canucks using the same playbook they did with JT Miller last year. Throw out every Metro team as a possibility in the media to drive up the price on the target team (last year Rangers with Miller this time Devils with Hughes).

Yes and while he doesn’t have trade protection, I can’t see Quinn accepting a trade to a Metro team where he knows he has to go through his brothers for a Cup nor a team acquiring him when they know he doesn’t want to be there.

This is the same playbook he ran with JT Miller and the Rangers last year. Float every Metro team as a public rumor.

I don’t think he fully possessed the ball on the fumble recovery. It should only count as one.
