  1. seriously. I don't care if the team wins if I can't bring myself to cheer them on.
  2. bowey and juulsen were also highly touted 2nd and 1st round draft picks, respectively.
  3. I mean, it's not that I was muting him, it's that the game was on mute as I was having dinner with my parents.
  4. I saw a graphic during hockey night last night that said horvat was expected to be out longer than 2 weeks. would have been during an intermission in the montreal washington game. friedman was on the screen at the time but my tv was on mute. that said, the initial statement from the team was that he'd be re-evaluated in 2 weeks, which to me sort of implies they're expecting it to take longer.
  5. seemed like a joke to me at the time. besides, jt calls the shots, not his agent.
  6. what we do know about his mindset thus far is that he only cares about winning and doesn't give two $&!#s about personal accolades. doesn't sound like a guy who's hung up on dollars and cents to me.
  7. hope and objectivity aren't mutually exclusive.
  8. so you drink just as heavily on nights the team doesn't play, hey?
  9. really? I personally think bo's injury can go f*** itself.
  10. it's not that he should retire, it's that he should be in a market that has a better chance of winning sooner and/or travels less.
  11. "'you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.' - wayne gretzky" - michael scott.
  12. the miller/briere/drury/pominville/roy/afinogenov/vanek/connolly/campbell teams were pretty good.
  13. coyotes aren't terrible in the neutral zone, but they are utterly inept at both ends of the ice. no finish whatsoever and probably the softest d I've ever seen.
  14. i don't care if you live to be a thousand years old, you will never see anything like this again.
  15. pity the fans of all the other teams that choked their seasons away.
  16. I wouldn't take domi at any price point.
  17. yikes, brutal take. domi sucks and is.mush between the ears.
  18. it's not an oxymoron because both sides of his personality exist.
  19. 1. bruce has always been, in the nhl at least, a coach of veteran players, particularly ones who need a breath of fresh air. he's never been the type of coach that has developed a young team at the nhl level. 2. for bruce's own sake, the guy must realize the end of the coaching road is approaching as a man in his late 60s. he wants to win. he should be coaching a playoff team that's ready to compete. 3. his shelf life tends to be too short to be a good fit for a young group that will benefit from continuity and stability. 4. I frankly don't think his x's and o's/strategy/systems play/etc. are a strong enough attribute that I'd choose them to build an identity around if we're starting from the ground up. his systems tend to work well over the short term, particularly in the regular season, but they haven't seemed sustainable long term and, as has been well publicised, they haven't been successful in the playoffs. 5. the nice guy persona tends to only get teams so far, and the screaming obscenities schtick wears thin quickly. 6. if the team is doing a reset, the gm should probably choose his coach. yes, rutherford gave his blessing, but that was also when he was still strongly leaning towards not taking the job and obviously wouldn't have wanted to tie francesco's hands. probably others I'm not thinking of.
  20. depends what they want to do. if they decide to take a step back, get rid of important players, get younger and plan for a couple years down the road, then bruce isn't the right guy for the job for a number of reasons. if they keep their big fish and decide to forge ahead, I don't see why they would make a change.
