  1. I will hold my opinion of the draft for at least three years. Unless you get a top 3 pick you just never know. At least they drafted D and C which is the strength of any good team. I was a little tired of slow soft wingers with a decent shot! ( or juolevi ).
  2. Gillis did fine adding pieces to give us a chance to win the cup.. most teams in this position do exactly the same thing. Its hard to hit on minimal picks to keep the train rolling. Linden would have been amazing and even the benning hire was well though of given Boston's success. If we took trevors direction the team had a chance to rebuild and perhaps in 5 years been competitive again. The owner with his impatience wanted a winning team too quickly basically forcing bennings hand to re tool with over priced below average acquisitions. There is no way the oel trade goes through without approval from ownership. It was another attempt to save bennings job and have a winning team too quickly. Ownership and impatience has been the big problem.. trevor was a class act for walking away and saying nothing negetive for how he was treated and the poor direction the team was headed
  3. Im not surprised, now we can bring in somebody else that is over paid and underperforms.
  4. This team tries to build too quickly,, over paid players with no emphasis on acquiring draft picks,, smells like the owner is very involved in having a winner and doesnt want to build properly,, no gm in their right mind makes the trades benning made without approval from the owner. .. contracts given out by the new regime are questionable as well given our standing and talent level. Would prefer more draft picks on elc’s.
  5. I haven't read through the thread but the only comment I have is,,,, if the lottery isnt rigged, then why don't they do the ping pong balls live on tv?? The league is about money and having big markets pay for advertising.. Hopefully he will want to play for the Canucks at some point in his career and perhaps like Petey,, sign a short contract so he controls where he plays
  6. This team is playing and winning differently then last year with bruce. I love bruce the man but not the coach for this team. They are learning discipline and accountability,,, they still lack a bit of size and grit but im sure management is aware and will add when they can. Its really the first good systems coach since allain! I hope it continues and i believe there is finally a reason to think it will next year instead of pond hockey and relying on demko
  7. Solid game tonight against another team that has played well as of late. Im so impressed with not only the job tochett is doing but ,,, starting the kid at center for opening face off with miller petterson and hughes out there with him is the kind of decision that shows he gets it! It was an incredible moment for his entire family,, how can you not love the move by tochett! Full marks,, you gained a ton of fans for that decision!
  8. The only downside i can see is they made the coaching change a little early. Would love the team to be playing like this for the last 15 games learning good habits not the last 25. That would appease the savages wanting a shot at bedard.. team playing well makes demko, hughes and petey happy and perhaps not wanting out,, thats the big gain not a draft pick.. both would be nice though not gonna lie!
  9. Very sad to see him go. Had dinner with him a few times,, as good a guy as there is! Treats everyone well and makes everybody feel welcome. Great story teller as well..
  10. Everybody loves freedom and free speech as long as you are told what to believe in and say..
