  1. Benning was given the direction (from our owner) to build a new core, retool the supporting cast, and to do so while trying to compete for a playoff spot each year. He did build a new core. But the entire mandate from ownership was not realistic. The new group have inherited a great young core to which they just added Hronek. They still have lots to do to complete Benning’s job of retooling the supporting cast though, especially on D.
  2. Leafs would definitely have preferred the Islanders’ pick. They got the Bruin’s 2023 first from Washington. But Hronek is a better fit for us. He’s Chris Tanev with more skill.
  3. Bo is a 50-60 point player who is average defensively. He’s backto his normal self on the Island. Miller is a ppg player, who is hard to play against. Management would have been foolish to pay Bo 8.5 x 8 and trade Miller. Miller stayed here for 8x7 years.
  4. Why did we dominate and win if it meant nothing? It meant a lot t9 the Sens and they played hard as heck. Miller took over and dominated. He led our guys and dragged them into the fight.
  5. You don’t think this was a meaningful game for Ottawa? That was an intense game and Miller dominated. Removing the elephant was huge for this club.
  6. Dominant game by Miller. He was the best player on the ice. Big and physical. Petey and Miller as our 1C 2C is fantastic.
  7. Sure, but we need to sign him. And to sign him we need to offer him an NHL contract.
  8. Jets win! Flames are even further out of a playoff spot. But they do have Huberdough and his contract to celebrate.
  9. Bo update. Islanders losing 5-1. Bo has no points and is a minus 3.
  10. Holy! That was quick. Get him here and fast. He could play 15 games with us.
  11. WE Need to get Tanev back for Hughes. Fingers crossed it happens this summer. We bring the “Perfect Hughes’ Partner” back home.
  12. Leafs looking like Cup favourites against the Soilers’ cheating (always for offence) players.
  13. Bo needs to pick up his game tonight. Zero points and a minus 2. Islanders down 2-1 after 2. He’s winning face-offs though.
  14. The top Oiler guys are terrible defensively. Always cheating in hopes of getting points.
  15. Wow! Another one! Hahaha Soilers getting embarrassed now.
  16. Marner again with an amazing play! Leafs dominating the Coilers.
  17. McWiner and Draipratl don’t play defensively at all.
  18. We sign Livingston to play with Hughes. We have Hronek to anchor our second pair. Bear (if we can’t trade Myers) on our third pair works. Or even Juulson there. Maybe our right side D is looking good already?
