  1. Can the rebuild now continue. For once can they do what is best for the future.
  2. I just went back and watched Jim Benning's last interview. You know ,you know. That man is a bad speaker. I hope he is not as dumb as he comes across as.
  3. A great goal tender can take a team a long way. A hot goal tender can allow a mid road team beat some of the best in the league. No problem for the NHL. They just call tons of penalties allowing teams to have a better chance at beating a hot goal tender.
  4. When did Jim come out and say they would be a cup contender in two years?
  5. They need to take moving these guys out seriously as soon as they get healthy.
  6. When we say managed we mean manipulating the out come of a game so a certain team wins. I want them to call a game evenly and consistently. That is what we seen happen in 2011 final. They decided to change the way the game was officiated to favor the bigger Bruins.
  7. This should not be on Tim Peel. He was doing what he is directed to do by the league.
  8. We all watched the 2011 NHL finals. We have all seen the league use officiating to turn a game or series around. There is nothing new here. NHL games are clearly managed and this just reinforces all of our concerns. Very , very , very sad. Betting will make this worse.
  9. I hope the adding of players through waivers is in preparation to make some trades before the deadline.
  10. There is always shifts on the leader board as teams have winning and losing streaks. Right now some of the teams ahead of us have struggled and we have won 8 out of 10. We will need to maintain this pace if we are to make the playoffs. You can be sure that the teams ahead of us will get rolling again. Injuries will also rear their ugly head. For us and those that we are chasing. Maybe Petey will come back at 100% or be done for the year. Demko has been amazing.
  11. We just found another Vey. I am so excited.
  12. I have noticed that we have a new breed of fans shown up here. They brought their venom with them.
  13. Last season in the bubble they got on a run and played above their weight class. This year they started without Tanev and Markey. This club is a work in progress. Lots of nice pieces but quite a ways from being complete. This is not a coaching issue.
  14. Of coarse this has nothing to do with a lack of talent? It is all the coaches fault. LOL Fans need to take the rose colored glasses off. This team is just not very good ,yet.
  15. How to build a great nhl team? The first thing you do is find a great goal tender. Demko 25 years old Then you find a number one center. Petey 22 years old Then a top level offensive defenseman. Hughes 21 years old Then you building around them with- Boeser , Bo , Miller , Hoglander, Myers and Schmidt Needs ; Power forward - Podkolzin ? Defensive D man - Tryamkin ? Is he the big shut down guy that every great team needs? The bottom six needs to be completely retooled and the defense has some holes. ( but better then expected and players may be in the system)
  16. OMG, why did we not give Marky a 6 mil for 6 year contract ? On the same note, why did we give Holtby 2 for 4.3?
  17. I have noticed that Jake 's decision making has been quite good. He is showing some vision and play making ability. All he needs to do is raise his intensity level and keep it high on a consistent bases. Love to see Pod with Jake and Bo.
  18. If Petey has been dealing with some nagging injury through this season then let's make sure he is 100%. No use screwing up a young star to try and and make a comeback in a season that is a lost cause.
  19. No one knows what the big guy will become. He is not a goon who will come and fight everyone. He is such an intriguing package of size , mobility and skill. He is intimidating and must be taken seriously by opponents or he will hurt them. I think a lot of his success will come down to chemistry and coaching. It would be a mistake to not give him a shot. The risk reward is too high. Let's face it , our defense is in transition and dropping a ton of cash on Edler is not wise anymore. If they don't sign him he will go somewhere else and he has a good chance of being successful . They should use some of the Edler money and get him signed.
