  1. Yeah people are under the impression that the head coach has to be your best friend (re: players). Mike Keenan though was d-bag of the worst kind. Might have been a good head coach at one time but a horrible human being. Course, being a nice guy isn't a requirement to being a good head coach. He's your "boss". Not your priest.
  2. I see him hustle off the ice first after practice.
  3. Different pressures and or expectations being THE starter vs backup. Can't really just compare stats because of this. Look how good Lacks numbers relative to Millers as an example.
  4. Don't be a square Strome. Come to Surrey and Take A Walk on the Wild Side!
  5. Bear in mind there’s some labor negotiations stuff going on with our transit system. BOTH the bus and Skytrain workers have voted to strike and there could be some outages during the time you are here. Or even a full scale strike.
  6. Actually he DID crack the Black Hawks weak defense (got in 38 games as a 20 year old). He's progressing slowly but that's why he was drafted in the 5th round in the first place. Remember that Juolevi is 21 years old and has yet to play a single NHL game. D take much longer to develop. Forsling is still a big longshot (particularly since the Canes have a deep blueline) but it's a waste dumping even a longshot prospect for a AHLer who can't even skate at a NHL level. Again, look at the Canes deep blueline; they still think it's important to have a bunch of D prospects in their system. Better that than having to rely on Biega type clones.
  7. He'll end up with more games at the NHL level that the guy we acquired for him. Plus, he's still only 23 years old.
  8. Macdonald had to resign as PM as a result of a scandal. Pretty boy hasn't achieved that.......yet.
  9. I wouldn't want to help the Laffs in *ANY* way. Heck, I wouldn't even urinate on them if they were on fire.
  10. Pod is still pretty raw at this point. It'll be a few years before one can think of seeing him come over even if he was already under contract with the KHL.
  11. I just found out who Ronaldoescobar is in real life! He's Arthur Fleck!
  12. Head coach isn't there to be your friend. I think even the legendary head coach Scotty Bowman was disliked by a number of his players. I think Harry Neale said that you generally have one third of 'the room' against you & one third of 'the room' with you. The key is winning over the middle third. ('the room' being the locker room).
  13. Fair enough. Still pretty gutless trying to sucker punch a guy that can't defend himself.
  14. Just as bad Guds attempting to sucker punch said player while he was tied up by one of the Refs.
  15. I expect a bounce back game from the team. Too much pride I think with the guys.
  16. People going to blame the Green hiring on Linden as well? Green isn’t going anywhere as it then puts the target on Benning’s back imho.
  17. What was the story behind their lead singer DeYoung leaving the band? I seem to recall it was some sort of medical condition that prevented him from being able to perform live? I know certain members of the band didn't like the direction the band was heading at the time
