BeefcakeBo Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Ya I went to see the winterhawks this year for the same reason. I say it every time I watch the chl Friday game on sportsnet and It's always a couple stacked teams "man it would be cool to see a cougars team this good". 3 or 4 first round beauties and well coached. I don't understand how we can be so terrible for such a long stretch? We are bottom feeders every year and never seem to climb back up again. Are we drafting duds in the bantam draft or what the hell is going on? The team GM for the last 10 years is the owners son in law. He basically has no idea what he's doing. He shouldn't have been given the gm position in the first place. We also generally draft poorly and don't have any luck with recruiting anyone that's undrafted. We haven't made any great trades either that I can recall. We have gotten screwed a few times too with players that have been drafted, like Connelly. I don't go more than a couple times a year anymore but it seems that the coaching and player development has been pretty bad too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But from what I heard no one likes management. Coaching is garbage too. Watching a few games live it's just ugly how they play eldefence. Need to rehaul coaching and management. I just hope they stick around here. Like I said seeing WHL prospects is fun and I can pretend like I know more then others cause I seen them live.

Just curious to what their actual screw ups were. You'd think with all the high bantam drafts we'd have some decent players. I'm wondering what stars we've passed on ect. I've never really looked into it that closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeefcakeBo Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I'm going to wait on my seasons tickets until they fire Dallas Thompson. * It's also too bad they could have gotten the sale approved before the draft too. One less thing for the current management to screw up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharnhayre Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Prince George deserves to have a team. Its unfortunate that money is being lost in this market when there isn't much else to do entertainment wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only so I can see guys like Virtanen and such on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glov3s Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 So far the new management has really impressed me. They are saying all the right things and they seem committed to spending money to improve the overall fan experience at CN Centre. It also seems like the fan support has done a complete 180 from last year. I remember hearing earlier this summer that they had already increased their season ticket numbers by 100% and they are still selling fast. I've already purchased my season tickets and am more excited for the coming season than I have been in a long time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeefcakeBo Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Cougars first home exhibition game went well tonight. Felt like there were more people in the building than were at any of the regular season games I was at last year. 5-3 over Edmonton. The new 15 year old kids had ok nights too.

Nas19 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Solid opening game. Rink was pretty much sold out and had a great atmosphere. Even though they lost 7-2 they played well. Definitely a great start to the new ice age. Looking forward to tomorrows game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was awesome to see so many people out at a game though. Hasn't been that full in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Yeah that was a great home opener. Loved how much the crowd got into it especially those taunting Whistle during the 2nd. I can't wait until tomorrows game hopefully its packed again and hopefully the Cougs win this next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lock Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Amazing how ownership can make all the difference in the world, especially at the WHL level with its high turnaround of players. Here's to hoping for continued success. Perhaps one day we'll actually gain a reputation of having a good team more often than not. The last days I remember being excited about the Cougars was when we had Bouck, Betts, and Myers. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
