  1. I wonder if all these stories about Babcock would be coming out if he had coached and gotten fired from the Coyotes instead? It's just amusing to me to see Babcock go from being regarded as one of the best coaches in the NHL to "he ain't $&!#" since he got canned by Toronto.
  2. Yeah but is there any actual proof of that? It seems like supposition and wishful thinking right now.
  3. I think mental health was a major factor there. Eriksson’s not give a $&!# seems to make him immune.
  4. Alf, I want to believe but I unfortunately don't see that happening. Why would Eriksson leave money on the table when he can simply coast like he has the last 3 years and collect millions more?
  5. Cale Maker: 22 GP, 7-18-25 Quinn Hughes: 22 GP, 2-15-17 Makar is definitely the favorite but I wouldn't say Hughes' chances are slim to none. Conceivably, a single hot and cold streak over a couple of weeks could tip the scales back in Hughes' favor. And just for fun: Jack Hughes: GP 20, 4-6-10
  6. I couldn't care less about Kesler's involvement but I'm excited for this if for nothing else, Bieksa can possibly use the podcast as a springboard to more mainstream broadcasting. If it gets Bieksa a TV gig, I'm all for it!
  7. I laughed my ass off reading the Sun story.
  8. Considering the very concept of Black Friday is ridiculous, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it if it was just gotten rid of entirely.
  9. Hey look, a show where Don Cherry can say literally anything that pops into his head.
  10. Good on ya! If someone wants to support the military, police or fire department or not, that's their right as a Canadian. You're not under attack if I disagree with your posts and point out where I feel you're doing yourself a disservice with some of your rhetoric though.
  11. There's plenty of assets to be traded. It's just that giving them up would sting quite a bit.
  12. Somehow I don't envision many people clamoring for Schneider to be back in Vancouver. Not at that cap hit and his body of work over the last three years.
  13. They already did that. We got Miller. Despite the slump, it’s worked out well this far.
  14. Using gay marriage in an analogy for the atrocities of Nazis?
  15. Yes, Alf. There’s a hell of a difference between genocide and someone losing their job because they decided to say something stupid in a public forum. As for the rest? I could say the only reason you’re saying the things you are is because you have gossip goblins whispering them in your ear. Then, by your logic, you wouldn’t be able to say that ridiculous because it’s my opinion. See why that doesn’t hold water?
  16. Whatever. When the PC police start dragging people out of their homes in the dead of night to put them on trains to extermination camps, or just shoot them in the back of the head right there in the street, Alf might be on to something. Until then, it’s just ludicrous hyperbole which completely negates any point Alf was trying to make.
  17. Alf, that really doesn't make me want to read the rest of your posts when you say stuff like that.
  18. Sure, that's totally fair. It's not like they didn't have nearly 40 years as a broadcaster to get to know who Don Cherry is. Whoops!
  19. Carcillo's tweet chain got posted at the top of the last page. He pretty much agrees with what's her name.
  20. I have to imagine, from Sportsnet's perspective, it was "Oh for &^@#s sake, again?". No, Cherry wasn't fired for similar comments in the past but does that give him free reign to continue to make those comments? I could be mistaken, but I don't think he did any interviews until after he was let go.
  21. Do you think it was solely the one comment Cherry made that got him fired? Or do you think it was that comment also dredging up his long, sordid history of making similar comments in the past? I also think if Cherry has just come out Sunday and said "Sorry, I got too fired up about a topic I'm very passionate about and misspoke. Every Canadian should wear a poppy!", he'd still have a job; but he chose not to.
