  1. lol. Remember when Mike Keenan kept pulling the goalie to show up Brian Burke? Burkie had the last laugh on that one.
  2. Looks at username.... Goodfellas movie quote: Henry Hill : [narrating] Now the guy's got Paulie as a partner. Any problems, he goes to Paulie. Trouble with the bill? He can go to Paulie. Trouble with the cops, deliveries, Tommy, he can call Paulie. But now the guy's gotta come up with Paulie's money every week, no matter what. Business bad? **** ***, pay me. Oh, you had a fire? **** ***, pay me. Place got hit by lightning, huh? **** ***, pay me.
  3. I just think Sutter's injuries have taken their toll on his body. Was darn good for us a couple years ago but his body just got worn down. It happens to all athletes eventually.
  4. In my best Jim Cornette's voice: "Get Twinkle Toes McFinger Bay off my screen".
  5. Probably could have a more positive impact on Holtby than anyone else (let's see what Clark can do). I don't have alot of hope for the power play & Brown's "work" on it.
  6. Not going to happen unless we get at least one solid shutdown D. Schmidt is more of an all-around defenseman (and he'll be 31 in two years - same age as Hamhuis when Benning got hired). I think a more realistic target is a playoff team (just not a real Cup contending one) in 2 years.
  7. Haven't seen enough of that imho. This isn't to say there aren't individuals (Motte for example) that *consistantly* do.
  8. I think our goaltending always gives us a chance or rather Demko. It's up to the rest of the lineup to start pulling their weight (regardless of injuries). I'm surprised Demko's back hasn't given out considering he's been carrying them all season.
  9. I mean, with a legit offensive phenom like Hughes manning one of the points (lol, remember the days of Bryon Ritchie at that spot during the Vigneault days?), how hard is it to draw up power play plans/strategies?
  10. We can’t defend worth **** without a Vezina caliber goalie. How about getting a coach that actually implements some kind of system that doesn’t rely on the goalie bailing you out every game? How many years should Benning get before hiring a legit NHL head coach?
  11. Goaltending coach should get credit for that. Still a legitimate prospect though. Disingenuous to state Benning inherited nothing but Horvat imho. How many people really thought either Sedin would win the Art Ross trophy in 2008? Marty St Louis I think was also put on waivers before he was a superstar. Wont argue about how bad it was up front when Benning took over. It was bad. But behind the blueline, it was still decent enough. In any event, when a GM is fired, of course there will be holes in the lineup generally. If there weren’t, he wouldn’t have been fired.
  12. Cam Neely was a legit light heavyweight fighter. Jake right now would have trouble fighting Jenny Craig. And Neely put up 72 points at the age of 21. Jake put up 20 points in a season at that age. I don’t see the comparison.
  13. True story......a couple years ago in Las Vegas, they had these people on the streets who were carrying signs “kick me in the balls for $20”. I am assuming they were wearing some kind of cup lol. But what struck me wasn’t that individuals had to resort to this to make money but rather what kind of person would want to this to another individual?
  14. Could be just another legendary player like Jason Krog. Put up tons of points at the AHL level (allstar there) but just couldn’t put it together at the NHL level.
  15. Chuberov. Not sure why he went back to Russia but he was developing into a solid 3C for us.
