  1. Edler had a deadly wrister from the point back in the day. We need a D that has a Cannon of a shot like the names you mentioned.
  2. You hear the majority of this fanbase begging for one yet you never hear it from ownership or the management. Different philosophy must be looked at instead of pretending we are a contender, the trust is gone and fans what a clear direction of where this franchise is headed.
  3. I hope that these last few home games have convinced JR to go up to ownership and say, “this retool on the fly” philosophy/direction/mandate has to change. Because regardless of what narrative you try and spin of making the playoffs, fans will stop attending with this product. Can’t sell us a playoff team if you keep missing. If ownership is afraid that fans won’t be coming if we have a rebuild, they will be running away if they hear retool on the fly one more time. I get it, draft picks and prospects don’t put butts in seats. Likewise for a no plan that fans are willing to spend their hard earned disposable income on. Fans want hope because at least there is something to look forward to. Not this try try try again stubborn narrative 3 different management groups have been assigned. Every team has to go through a rebuild, we are not immune to having one either. Time to pivot or the $ and fans will dissolve. This fanbase has lost the trust/faith of what we are doing. It would be refreshing if Aqua/JR would come out and admit change is needed.
  4. Ding ding! People don't want to admit that it's the owner because he spends to the cap. He also doesn't have the patience you need to build a proper roster. Instead of keeping our picks (depth,prospect pool) and letting them develop, especially defencemen. We trade them for other teams projects (because what team is giving away their good players to us?) where we keep shooting ourselves in the foot. We are where we are because the mandate has always been since he bought the team "make the playoffs" we can't even do that three times in the last 9 years. We have no defense, no cap space, no prospect pool and our core is wasting their prime years on spinning their tires in mediocre mud. Never too bad to get franchise pieces and never good enough to compete as a contender. This is Francesco's team but it's also his mess. Nobody should be debating this now. Great to spend to the cap, but no team can go anywhere without depth. We don't even have a proper D corps because building one takes time. Aquilini just doesn't have time for patience, this is the result, a mushy middle team with no hope or light at the end of the tunnel. I hope Petterson resigns after next season but I have my doubts. He wants to win, can't see us winning in the next 4-5 years until we have a proper young and talented blueline. WE BROKE DEMKO FOR PUCKS SAKES!
  5. Wow that’s something not to be proud of. Not a lot of banner years but Bo and Petey but holy that’s a bad look.
  6. Poor Sedins and Lu. It was their night but got served a pooper of an effort on the ice. Well not for Lu’s team.
  7. Ever tried these cookies from Costco? They taste pretty much like almond Roca as a cookie form. Deadly tasty critters they are.
  8. Need 3 more Dmen who play like Schenn. Too many guys that can’t play defense on our backend. Love seeing Luke clear the crease. Wish we had more of it
  9. As per djeclipz on Reddit would say with his meme:
  10. I thought about this when the allegations first started in September. With the roster this team has and the effort they put out game in game out. You could be spot on about that. Team is checked out.
