  1. Toe Blake is brought back to life due to arcane mage. Aquilini begs Blake to coach the Canucks "Save Us!"
  2. Stalberg was acting like a dou****** on that shift. He deserved everything he received from Bieksa.
  3. Willie won a Calder Cup (AHL championship) and a couple Memorial Cups as a head coach. Travis Green well "got there & lost" as a head coach. Willie has a better minor league resume. (OK, Newbie is reaching here )
  4. I'll agree with you if for no other reason than I don't want a roundhouse kick to the head.
  5. I'm only sad in that scenario that one team has to win. Not sure who I dislike more. The Laffs or the Ruins.
  6. Laffs & Montreal don't have the cap space for Sutter (even with 50% retention). Plus, he's got a NTC.
  7. As bad as Nonis was as a GM; he was a solid #2 (at least I think he was). I think that's what lacking in each of our last two GM's. Even the great Caesar had Labienus.
  8. Yeah part of the gig is being able to schmooze with other GM's. Gillis gives off this sleazy politician vibe (at least that's *MY* impression; I'm not claiming it's a fact). I get that same impression with Weisbrod.
  9. I should add...make no mistake (as I said before)...I do *NOT* want Gillis back (and certainly not to replace Benning). But, if given a choice between Weisbrod & Gillis - it's like 'hold your nose' and choose the option that stinks less solution (in my view, that would be Gillis).
  10. Most of those picks were from later rounds. Even super scout Benning has generated how many NHLers from those later rounds? Gaudette was only available to be drafted by Benning because Gillis gave him that extra pick to use on him in an earlier deal Gillis made. Again my issue was Gillis should’ve actually dealt more 1st round picks during his time ‘to really go for it’. What kind of barter material is a 2nd round pick going to be? edit: Hogs looks to be a good one. edit #2: Kevin Connaughton...Gillis draft has quietly put up over 300 games at the NHL level.
  11. Groundhog Day............Laffs play Bruins in postseason. Laffs lose to Bruins in postseason.
  12. Gillis only dealt one first round pick; I believe Benning in charge of a rebuilding team team has actually dealt MORE picks. The knock on Gillis I have is that he didn’t go ‘all in’ when he had the chance (ie., deal more picks).
  13. Salic is a made man. You can’t touch a made man without permission from the Commission.
  14. There was this 24 year old right side D that Benning inherited (Gillis didn’t leave him much but he did acquire him first as undrafted amateur) when he first started as GM. I wonder what ever became of him.
  15. All I have to say about Green is that the taxi squad should’ve been used to it’s fullest during this part of the schedule. Even if they’re journeyman minor leaguers. Keep everyone fresh.
  16. I dunno. I like watching women’s tennis. Especially all the grunting and groaning during a prolonged rally for errrrr reasons.
