Squeak Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Fair enough, I see your point and I understand where you're coming from. At the same time, I believe both you and I would agree that something has to be done about this COL GM. He doesn't actively post in this thread, takes weeks to answer PMs, if at all, and then comes and pulls this ridiculous stunt? He clearly shows the lack of knowledge and commitment to be a part of this league. I think we should find a new GM for COL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y0shi Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Ohlund was fired before so i dont see why Colorado can't be. I hate to be the one to point this out, but this was the second "controversial" trade between the same 2 parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Terry Murray fired.....Assistant coach John Stevens hired as interim coach. Took far too long, if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallstreetamigo Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Since the summer he took a job working up on the Oil Rigs. No point in taking personal attacks at him for lack of knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primal Optimist Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 On that note, where is the Rangers GM and why doesn't he answer PM's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lethunder Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Surprised it took this long for them to can Murray. A team with that much offensive talent shouldn't have so many low scoring games. I want Doughty, Williams and Richardson in an offensive environment!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primal Optimist Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Barry Melrose coming back for his 20 year reunion, lol. Has it been 20 years since the kings went to a cup final? I guess it has. *yes i know it was almost that long for our guys too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Melrose is being considered for the LA job???? Seriously????? Wow, they may as well admit the season is a write off now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Optimist Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 that is just the rumour I heard around 11am pacific time, so six hours ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Yuck. Hire Maurice or even Carlyle for heaven's sake.........Melrose...haha. Has 10 games and fired for being totally out of touch with the team and reality written all over him. Maurice is the guy they should go for if they need a communicator. Carlyle if they need a guy to bring the hammer down. EDIT: And Melrose if they need to rock a mullet on the jumbotron every stoppage in play.

Sharpshooter Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 when I asked this question earlier in the season I believe it was Sharpshooter who mentioned that he is active, and has posted from time to time, but I guess he has not made any moves since the season started, since his pickuphockey.com roster is unchanged from day one. I believe that inactivity IS a valid reason for us to be concerned...but disagreeing with a trade, well you already know my opinion, no need to go back there. Side Note on the LA Kings coach in real life being fired..I heard that they may be looking at the old coach from 1993 to come back there and take over again. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Optimist Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Dogbyte had stated that he didn't plan on making any moves until what he felt was a sufficient period of time had elapsed so that he could truly assess what moves he needed to make. He may not post everyday, but I see him around and if his style is to take a wait and see approach and he's already said that will be his approach, then I don't have any problems with that.

arby18_ Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 The Habs couldn't have acquired Mark Streit at a better time. Captain Zdeno Chara will miss some time with a knee injury that was sustained on Saturday evening. The initial report suggested that 'Big Z' would miss at least a week, and could be out until after Christmas, but he is apparently feeling better today which is fantastic news. Expect Chara to miss the next game for certain, but we will evalutate on a day-to-day basis. On top of that, it appears that Jon Blum, one of the major free-agent signings for Montreal this past summer, has lost all confidence since showing up in Montreal. Whether it is the big-lights of the Bell Centre, or the the major increase in media attention from playing in a Canadian market, the end result it that the yound d-man appears overwhelmed. The Montreal brass has decided that they will not send Blum to North Dakota, but will instead have him work on his game with the big-club while acting as the 8th d-man. We still believe in Jon and believe that he has bright future here in Montreal , but we feel that at the moment it is in his best interest, and our as well, for him to step back and watch from the press box for a few games. The updated blue-line looks like this: Streit - Coburn Kindl - Greene Hainsey - Ellerby Chara - Blum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattias Ohlund.2 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I was fired last year, there is no doubt i wasn't mature enough, but i feel i was put in a no win situation. No star players, no 4th overall pick, and a team that had 10 (?) forwards. I think if a player is put in a situation like that, then they should take some time off to mature and come back. I don't want to see that with Colorado though. I feel he is a very competent gm. The one thing i would advise is to actually post the FC's if the trade looks like a lopsided deal (IE my deal with Philly for Boedker) just my 2 cents.
