  1. Sometimes works on the tv...sometimes not. sometimes works on the computer but no sound. Doesn't work on the phone...
  2. That Coyotes trade is such a stinker. Two players eating up around $13m in cap space that are either unneeded or replaceable for under half that amount. Brutal. One thing I hope this new regime won't do is make stupid trades involving bad contracts.
  3. He’s also tough as nails. Spends a lot of time in the gym from what I’ve read as well. Get over his paycheck and he’s a solid nhl player. Just not a top pairing guy.
  4. Still rooting for my team. They haven’t given up in any games that I’ve watched. My boy JT keeps showing up and Petey and Kuz are dynamite. We will still pick in the top 10 so might as well give the team support. Nice win fellas.
  5. The clock willl be ticking on them as well. The cap doesn't pick favourites.
  6. Absolutely. Brutal miscue by management. Maybe accidentally on purpose?
  7. Feel so bad throwing this tandem under the bus but Marty an Delia are in way over their heads.
  8. Gotta wonder if they ever saw Bo as a longtime Canuck. If this management group pulls off a great return on 53 at the TDL, it will seem as planned all along. We all know that trading depth pieces and cap dumps never results in blue chip trades. You have to give something up. Too many good players on this team to throw it all away. We need those pieces. I'd like to see if Aman improves and sticks. I've got a feeling they found something in this kid. Replace Bo with a tried and true PK expert/shut down C and pray to God Miler figures it out. Come on Gary... let's get going on that cap for 2023-24.
  9. I also think we need to supplement the offence with some more depth. We are severely undermanned in two way forwards that can check and score. Kinda thought that was what we were getting that with Mikhayev. Do we have a true shut down line?
  10. It's time some blame gets shifted towards management for not addressing our goaltending tandem. Rolling the bones on Martin was another huge misstep. Penny pinching at its best. People are so tentative with regards to blaming the goaltending but the truth is that from Demko on down, it's been our weakest position all year long. Goalies are the real MVP's on any championship calibre team and we haven't had a sniff at top end goaltending all year long. Look to Winnipeg for what a great goalie does for your team. Not just statistically but also with regards to the intangibles and the confidence that a good goalie instills in your team. This isn't an indictment on Delia and Martin whatsoever. These guys are fringe NHL'ers at best and have been thrown to the wolves. PA and JR should have known this and never addressed the worst case scenario heading into the season, even after Demko's off season surgery. Everyone's piling on the team and forgetting the most obvious roster shortcoming of all shortcomings: our top ten calibre starter is having a terrible season and our backups aren't bonafide NHL players. This season is a write off. Management knows it. Ownership knows it. Nobody is coming to save the day for the team. Even the coaching staff are sitting ducks. This team will look quite different next year. Enjoy the show and let's hope for another good prospect/draft pick or two over the coming off season.
  11. What a disaster. Listening from a beach bar in Mexico. Almost bumming me out… but not quite. Happy New Year! Same as always. Without elite goaltending we will not win. I’m supporting Martin as much as the next guy but we are going nowhere with this tandem. Edit: unless Dries scores.
  12. Totally. He’s just saying what he’s told to say. Doesn’t mean squat. I’ve said all along give him Jts money and juice the term somehow. He’s a extended before the TDL.
  13. True but we need better leaders. Your best players should be your leaders. This responsibility falls squarely on the shoulders of the big 4. Goalies are different. I feel the core problem with this club leadership wise exists at the very top of the roster. Coincidentally this is where you get truly good return via trades etc.
  14. I can kind of see management vision based on who they have brought in to date. They need to re stock with players who haven’t been around long enough to notice all the losing. Surround these guys with guys who only want to win. Basically tear it down to the studs and renovate top to bottom. Their most important and interesting task will be in identifying who the winners are. Too many players on the roster with losing dna. There are some good pieces here. Figure out which ones belong. No untouchables. Major change will need to involve major players.
