  1. Off topic but Calgary Canucks made great move getting Troy Stecher...
  2. All this hype about Bedard but can a 17 year old be the salvation for this team as it currently structured?
  3. Perhaps this was more about punishing Horvat for not signing ... ship him off to a non-contender in a wasteland. Ha ha ha
  4. Prima-Donna : a very temperamental person with an inflated view of their own talent or importance. modifier noun: prima-donna
  5. Where did Petan come from and why was he on the power play? Mystery! Pretty terrible.
  6. IF there is a club willing to take on the Pettersson project at his price I think he should be traded. The experiment on the wing didn't work and at centre (his preferred position) he cannot win a face-off. He is a very expensive passenger. But I don't think he will be traded... too much invested in his potential to let go.
  7. She seems well qualified but does anyone know why she was let go by NJ?
  8. So much talk about Pettersson but very few comment on the mistakes made by Hughes tonight. Or, that his shot from the point is weak which is part of the problem on the pp. Ok I know he is pretty much untouchable on here because of his skating and passing bu he needs to be more than that. We sure need a point man that can score.
  9. Not many bands could play live outdoors like that and get almost studio sound... remember it was 1969 and cold.... January 30th. John Lennon blowing on fingers to get them warm enough. Sadly .... the end
  10. Slower for sure....skates straight into traps and loses the puck .... other times gets caught standing still and gets knocked off the puck... not the same player from two seasons ago for sure.
  11. As a very long and longsuffing fan (still) I agree with almost all of this Deb.... But... at some point the players have to be accountable too. For example from last night's game - I watched #40 carefully and if his name wasn't Pettersson and he was earning such a large salary would you even play him at all? Saw one good shot and one good defensive play but other than that he seemed to be drifting around like he was lost out there. Boeser wasn't much better... one shot, no hits... and Myers was a nightmare all on his own. What can you say about Dickinson and Poolman...yikes! At some point it comes down to the players regardless of the coaching or management.
  12. Just woke up and realized the nightmares I was having were actually real ....omg what a shtshow. Just skimmed the comments and most focus on Aquilini, Benning and coaches but what about the players themselves carrying some of the responsibility? I watched #40 last night and if his name wasn't Pettersson and he was earning such a large salary would you even play him at all? Saw one good shot and one good defensive play but other than that he seemed to be drifting around like he was lost out there. Boeser wasn't much better... one shot, no hits... and Myers was a nightmare all on his own. What can you say about Dickinson and Poolman...yikes! At some point it comes down to the players regardless of the coaching or management.
  13. Not Shaw... he is part of the problem... no sign that he brought any added value to the coaching this year.
