  1. Wait, wut. That never happens. We always get awesome chances then get scored on. Oh, I like being on the other side of that equation.
  2. Was hoping the team would bring in a President. Seeing whom it is makes me wonder if this is meant to solve several issues. 1) Give both a real and optic view that Aquilini isn't involving himself in the day-to-day. A younger less experience President could be viewed more readily to be manipulated. Older people often have the ability to say "Get stuffed" :> 2) Bringing in an experience mentor for the existing staff (think Sedins) that can replace him after the 3 year tenure (or sooner if need be - health). 3) Experience at winning!!! Hoping nothing major is done with the players until we bring in a new GM. Hoping that Stan and team are part of the decision on whom is brought in and a new culture is brought into the team. Best part of his initial comments was he was developing a plan. See what you have, what you need and make a plan to reach your goal. Very happy with these past few days. Hopefully a new GM (in the future) will solidify our path forward.
  3. Someone help me out here. Isn't this the third period in a row with these same lines. Doesn't this coach know how to do it?
  4. LA is filling a complaint with department of player safety - Challenging the puck is dangerous.
  5. Another good period. Comon, one more! That PK pressure is what I've been begging for all season. Keep it up.
  6. Don't care that they didn't score. That was the best period they have played in a long while. Only a couple of breakdowns and a lot of positives.
  7. So far I've seen good defensive play (like a real system), Petey enter the zone with confidence and take a hit and then get up quickly, Brock take a long shot and quite a few other promising plays. Keep it going!
  8. Excited to see what happens. Just show me some effort and keep those legs moving and I will be happy. GCG! Oh yeah, hope we put on a good welcome back for Edler. (Edit: Eddie)
  9. Sounding like some good news finally. I personally don't have favorites for coaching or GM's but nice to hear we are getting some experience on the coaching front. I will just be happy if I see the boys starting to back-check properly instead of constant stick checking and see some movement on both the PK and PP. Hopefully this works out - would nice to be able to see the boys smile for a change.
  10. Exactly. At the very, very least, step into the media circus and explain your plan going forward. Doing nothing in any Canadian market is an absolute kiss of death. I can agree with both pro boos and con boos. However, nothing changes with out customers showing displeasure, but I agree its tough on the players. However, some of the players deserve those boos as well. Tough just to boo the player your annoyed with from the upper level.
  11. Crap penalties or not, that was some really crappy 2 man short PK. May as well put cones out there. LAZY!!!!
  12. Nice to see a couple of wins the last two games. Tonight is a real test however. Not sure how it will turn out, could be springboard for them or a slide to the basement. Be interesting to watch.
