  1. Player development is as important as drafting. Look no further than Markstrom. Hiring the wrong NHL head coaches...
  2. I would be worried about Benning making yet another bad NHL head coach hire. He's got two already that you can't blame Gillis on. Reason why I keep harping on a seasoned NHL executive vet being needed either as a President or consultant. No cap there so pay $$$$ for the best one out there.
  3. Deb's won the Jack Adams trophy multiple times so you can't blame the coaching. Stealth even put Alf on the 1st power play unit!
  4. Willy D was a successful minor league head coach. It just didn’t translate at the NHL level. Won Calder Cups in the AHL as coach as well as the Memorial trophy as coach. Green? He gets the participation medal.
  5. So they can use the excuse of ‘they’re tired/exhausted from all the games in a compressed schedule’. Who need a taxi squad? Hint: it’s not just for physically injured players but perish the thought of rotating players to give them much needed time to regenerate
  6. I think just about the only thing you can’t point the finger at is goaltending. Could it be better? Sure, but it’s so far down the list of “problems” imho.
  7. And we have the Greek hero (well, he's Swedish but who cares as it spoils the narrative ) to wield that weapon - EP!
  8. Are you saying Benning is Epimetheus? I wonder if Prometheus is available as GM? That's all I remember from my Classic Greek Studies class.
  9. At least she has fond memories (prior Cups). All us Canuckfans have are "what could have been".
  10. Ahh...the good old days of the NCIX boxing day sales....pressing the F5 key a zillion times at 11:59:59.
  11. Not President right away but I agree that having him be the face of the club wouldn't be a bad thing. Later him, promote him to President once he gets his 'feet wet'.
  12. Gillis was fired in 2014....it's now 2021. At some point, one has to start pointing the finger at somebody else. Tanev was 24 years old when Benning was hired. He's now an 'old man' by NHL standards.
  13. If we can only bottle up his enthusiasm/energy. Would make a ton of money.
  14. Plus the Red Wings are back to the Dead Wings of yesteryear. They're worse than us.
  15. But then the ice at the arena will be ****'ty. Did you think about that? . . . . . . .
  16. Aquilini is many things but failing to spend money isn't one of them imho.
  17. Reason number one why he won't sign here (especially under those conditions).
  18. We were still in a playoff spot under Torts around the 50 something game mark. It's only been 24 games so far this season.
