@AdamFly96727825@ChumLine Demidov is not comparable because he took way less than his market value. The Habs have an established culture of taking team friendly deals that started with Suzuki, which is something the Sharks do not have.
@StevesRawMind the rebuild isn’t failing; it’s on schedule. the idea that this team would be playoff contenders this year was a fantasy built on Mack having a breakout season last year and dragging a bottom of the league team to the middle of the pack.
@StevesRawMind this talking point is so bad and overused bc it’s completely fabricated by bloggers and podcasters. It’s all speculation. There’s literally zero proof this is true, and it just gives people ammo to shit on him even more than they already do.
@Sheng_Peng is his idea of a team identity to continue trying to play hurricanes hockey while having a roster which in no way resembles carolina’s? asking for a friend.
@NBCSSharks@Sheng_Peng@jasondemers5 NBCS Sharksmin, I know they’re forcing you to post Sheng’s slop. Blink twice if we need to mount a rescue attempt to save you.
@carrothjslv3@Metsunie He’s actually performing pretty on track with his 2025-2026 stats rn. Through the first 10 games of last season he had 1.6 points per game; through the first 10 games of this season it’s 1.5. He’s currently on pace for a 123 point season, and that’s with an admittedly shaky start
@lesdeljkovic Also wrt Will, I see everyone claiming he had a bad night, but… he didn’t. He had a few sloppy shifts, including that one in the first period where the Bruins scored, but he mostly played a decent game. Second best forward for the night by individual production.
@lesdeljkovic I genuinely don’t get this line of thought at all bc Mack is currently at a 1.5 ppg production, which is higher than last year. Even missing two games he’s currently projecting at 123 points. He can’t carry the team every night. It’s good to have depth scoring.
