man I am so tired of the radar gun that shot was 89 mile an hour... who cares

well, you know, if he lists 4 of Tocc's 5 wins some knob will say, "You are only mentioning (cherry picking) the easy teams, what about beating the Isles?" some of these wins have been pretty bad games the Blues don't look like they have an AHL power play

because if he doesn't, he gets accused of Cherry Picking

that 2nd PP with Leivo/ No Goals Blais/ Leddy.. Saad must feel like a man on an island Strikes Fear I tells ya that is worse than having Sheldon Dries Idol on our 2nd PP

so is this the same trade that caused Schenn to sit out ? I guess we'll know if Schenner slinks back into the line up next game

I think there is a weird Superstitious Hope that by starting a "Do We Really Need Him" thread that the player will magically turn into the next Alex Burrows Its been tried before so far there is only one Alex Burrows

that is just wrong the OEL trade was stupid OEL was overrated at the best of times At best he was going to give 2-3 years of solid defense, turns out he gave us one year HOw is it that I can live in my mom's basement eating poptarts in my slippers and I could (did) tell you it was a terrible trade the day it happened and yet dazzling fans like you can still defend it? Unfortunately our organization is a train wreck because it makes moves like the OEL trade or the Loui signing or letting Tanev and Markstrom walk for nothing or waiting too long to let go of Oli and Jake. that is why we are witnessing a train wreck, Its not magic, its bad moves by bad management

he's so young and adorable... before he turned into a hedgehog

we couldn't have had Sittler and Harold at the same time

best part of this movie

nah I'm losing interest in this debate you can continue to believe "Most" teams fire their GMs In some respects not enough blame has been sent Trevor Linden's way He Hired Jim and then let his own position slip away Kind of makes you wonder about Trevor's character evaluatons Good teams don't fire their Presidents either the Canucks have fired Burke, Gillis, Linden and Benning and that is just during the Aqua era anyway, carry on, I'll lock horns with you again on a more current topic cheers

I think Buy outs should come off the signing GMs pay

Bill LaForge was a bad coach he lasted 20 games If a GM allows bad coaching to hang around for 8 years, it's on the GM Likewise if the Prez allows a bad GM ... oh wait at least Darryl Sutter fired himself

now you are just listing GMs who have left their jobs everyone leaves jobs I have left every job I have ever had except the one I currently have and so have you that is a funny list didn't Murray and Bowman both step down because of sex scandals Sutter fired himself and Moloney was was in Arizona, which I mentioned earlier as a team that regularly "Cleans house" so that leaves you with Chia

so you are saying there's a chance (insert jim carey meme here)

I think you are missing my point Fred I am not in a position to find a newer JR but Aqua might just do what he has done before and promote PA (with the caveat that he, Aqua, gets to pull the string) or the new Prez might want to "bring in his own guy" who wants to "bring in his own guy" who wants to "bring in his own guy" and the whole sad story repeats itself we could have a whole new staff (except for Ron Delorme, that guy could survive Armageddon) by 2024

I think Vancouver is not the best team to use as the medium GMs also double as the President in Vancouver Vancouver has a penchant for sweeping out the whole lot from President down to stick boy, well not stick boy cuz the stick boy is an Aquellini also bad teams like Arizona, Ottawa, Buffalo sweep out the GM more often than good teams Slats has never been fired, Steve Y moved from Tampa to Detroit without getting fired, I don't think David Poile has been fired, George MacPhee, technicaslly not fired by Washington, but contract not renewed (splitting hairs) but I believe he moved from GM to president in Vegas San Jose had one GM for 19 years and Doug WIlson stepped down for health reasons (not mental health) Lou Lammoriello has never been fired but is GM of his 3rd team

is that statistically true? I feel like many GMs of winning teams move up the ladder, rather than out the door

still laughing at the "Green will grow with the team" fans and even funnier are the "Green is a good coach now, while the team is young, but will need to be replaced when the team starts winning" set I wonder where any of these NHL players would be if they had bad coaching their entire careers?

I don't usually watch HNIC because I would rather miss Bieksa than watch Ron McLean and Kelly but I watch the Philly game and I have to ask, is Ron Mclean really showing signs of dementia? speaking about Silovs.. " Calgary jumped out to a 2-0 lead and then it was all Silovs" and "You, yu, ewe, euphemism, there's the word" I don't like the guy, but I wouldn't wish this on him on a positive note, I liked how John Garrett bailed EP40 out when the talk went too long on Captaincy I thought John had one of his usual rough starts, but he earned his keep by moving the conversation along there. Good game by Petey and nice to see Beauvillier settling in

So what happens if JR quits, like has been rumoured? then we have another rookie GM working under Aquaman You are lumping JR and PA as one being things were different when it was Linden and Benning Benning's first summer he traded Kesler and Garrison for a 1st, 2nd and 3rd then promptly wasted the 2nd and 3rd, but did draft McCann, Demko, Tree and Forsling, also wasting his first 1st It was still his best summer overall now what happens if Jim does quit and Aqua offers PA the presidency with strings attached? we could be right back where we were when Linden left It's not that far fetched

I take that to mean Bruce, not Brock. YOu mean JR and PA could not see the pig for the lipstick ya, that's on them not Bruce they need to be bad, not mediocre now

we were talking about the summers PA has only had one summer and it wasn;t good I am happy with the Horvat trade and the first acquired but I don't think you build a winning team with one good/one bad move that is how you get to where we are right now - mediocre

Signed Boeser to an immovable contract Signed Miller to and anchor contract traded away the 2023 second rebuilt the 4th line but forgot to add snarl came up negative in coaching suspect 1st round pick ( I don't write guys off in year 1, but not looking great)
