The last 25 games meant nothing - Douglas Army

Post by a smell of green grass »

I have been saying that I am very keen on watching which teams shows up at the start of next season. Will it be the .500 team that drove Army crazy in early Feb, or the .700 team of the last 25 games. I don't trust what happened in the last 25 games.

And now Army tells me that "Dynamics change around the league"... The Winning of the last 25 games may NOT NECESSARILY continue. Expect mediocrity, folks.

Isn't this just lovely to hear?

So on draft day, when your favorite guy goes off the board about 10 picks ahead, know that Army (and Army's sock puppet, ASOGG) are very well aware that we lost out because of the meaningless games won during the last 25 games.

While the Blues were playing .700 hockey, the Florida Panthers were losing 7 of their last 10. As I said before, the last 25 games is Doug Armstrong's "killing season". His teams hit every disinterested player moving in a golf cart, and they win BIG--for the last 15 years.

Have a great draft day--as you watch the great players put on other jerseys.

Remember those guys that used to skate away from Tony Twist.... They did so because they knew they would lose.

And so it goes.... :)

The team under Montgomery had a .642 point % over 60 games. I'm interested to see if he can keep it over .600 which would get them in the playoffs.

Dynamics do change year to year. Schenn and Faulk are older, so do you they keep declining , bounce back, stay the same? Holloway, Broberg, Bolduc, Snuggerud, Neighbours are all younger players who could keep improving, level off or take a step back? Who else steps up and who steps back? What do other teams do to improve or fall off? Yep lot of things could happen to make next year great or a letdown. So in other words, pretty much like any new season.

I like when I know who started a thread simply by the idiotically uninformed title.

Two ways to look at the new season following the results of the last 25 games...
A) the team has turned the corner, and the winning will be fabulous going forward. Enjoy.
B) Forget about the last 25. Winning is hard. Here's hoping for the best. The coach will get them turned around--hopefully.

Army just told you to expect "B".

Cha-ching.

Really the only thing useful I got out of that mini press conference is when Army ticked off his core and didn’t include Kyrou, saying Thomas was the oldest.

THAT'S what you took away from that clip? Expect mediocrity?

Your bias has overtaken your ability to comprehend. Hey, if it makes you feel better keep peddling gloom and misery. Don't expect everyone to jump on board.
