  1. As @CanadianRugby so eloquently eluded. This team’s drafting success is actually a system of failure. The mistakes have slowly started overlapping and compounding to actually handcuff the teams ability to make improvements. At no point was Jim not giving it his all to make the playoffs every single year. There was never a plan to step back. The step back is the symptom of bad management.
  2. This is easily the best post I’ve seen on CDC in probably 10 years. An absolute masterpiece. It’s funny, it’s accurate, it is a dagger in the Benning loving heart. I’m actually going to print this off, fold it up and store it in my wallet. Thank you sir.
  3. Right on, so I don’t love Jimbo’s contracts, I guess that makes me a flames fan. Cool man. What else do I like? What else do I believe in?
  4. Textbook BPS. The lack of flexibility to retain Toffoli had been gradually growing every time Jimbo took the pen out of is top pocket. He paid a very big price with absolutely nothing to show for. I can’t even believe this is a discussion. Look at our lineup. Seriously.
  5. I’ve called this out a lot. It’s the Benning pacifier syndrome. They suppress Benning undoings by either denying them or turning them into something else. There is nobody stupid enough to be ok with not having Toffoli. That’s blatant BPS.
  6. It just hit me how far we are from being a Stanley Cup contender.
  7. Wow, how can you stick up for Benning when he has a 4 goal scoring, can’t take no for an answer forward making more than what you figure Tryamkin is worth? I love how Benning lovers are all, NBD.... but if he was signed for +2M you’d all be jumping around playing air guitar.
  8. A GM who isn’t a idiot: Hey Todd Diamond . What kinda numbers we looking at for Signing Nikita. Todd: we want Virtanen money. A GM who isn’t a idiot: Sorry, the idiot who ran this team before me has put me in a hard spot here. Let me look around to see if I could trade his rights to a team that planned for the future better. Todd: thanks.
  9. I hated this trade the second I saw it and I will always hate it. Totally pointless.
  10. He has the power forward syndrome on D. His success in Jr was a symptom being a full grown man at 16 lol. Everyone caught up to him and now he has to re-adjust.
  11. He was never the same since his shoulder surgery. I worked in Calgary a lot that year and watched over 10 games. His release, his shot, and most notably his physicality was never the same. He wasn’t even the same the very next season in Jr.
  12. He probably wanted Virtanen money, too bad we have that invested in 4 goals and an sexual misconduct investigation.
  13. I guarantee Benning gave no thought to this prior to the trade deadline. Let’s be serious here, this decision and negotiation could have been made while he still had the option to trade his rights to a more suitable NHL team. I think Tryamkin is a giant drama Queen who probably had unrealistic demands, but at the same time, this should have been known for quite some time. It always seems like he runs into these sudden surprises completely unprepared. This is what happens when you’re a GM who focuses on the day you woke up to.
  14. Is this ever going to happen to Horvat? Or Edler? No. Why? Cause they don’t put themselves in these situations. The don’t get blasted every weekend and act like a big deal. Why do These accusations only happen to douchebags? Jake Virtanen is a douchebag.
  15. Everything you post is so incredibly obvious that I don’t believe you’re actually serious. Are you serious, are your posts satire?
  16. There is a NHL underworld that has a shocking amount of moisture below the crust. I have mentioned in other threads that there is a collection of faint voices that are slowly getting louder as they all pile up. I’ve heard this exact story and I’ve heard a lot more as well, not only regarding sexual misconduct but a buffet of other illegal activities that are most likely going to surface here in the very near future. He blew it, he’s done. Hope he gets his act together and can find some happiness.
  17. These rules are the in place to protect both players. Eddy was tired and got a little careless. There is no conspiracy here. I think it’s a surprisingly fair punishment to be honest.
  18. Maybe this Covid outbreak is the mortar of this core. It feels like us against the world. The resilience, the callus, we keep getting knocked down and keep getting up. This feels good. Playoffs or not, this experience will live on.
  19. The only thing I want is our team to avoid career altering injuries.
  20. This is actually a interesting view. The Aqlns are shifty tycoons. I honestly think the best solution is to just hire a president to look over or assist him in asset management. Let’s be real with ourselves guys, he really shoots himself in the foot with his contract signing pen. It’s like one of those James Bond pens that can shoot bullets and that sucker goes off as soon as the contract is signed and the pen is headed for the top pocket.
  21. I’m going to have to go back to all these posts and put a edit: I was drunk on them. This is like when you have a buddy call you the next morning and tell you all the dumb crap you did the night before when you were drunk and you don’t really want to discuss it. Ya that’s pretty much how I feel today going through my notifications. I actually forgot I even posted anything. To be honest I kinda struggle with the booze. Sorry @Dumb Nuck @Ghostsof1915 @RWMc1 @Gawdzukes @4petesake @WHL rocks and whoever else I forgot. I’m a little embarrassed.
