  1. "A gov't of, by & for the people. The establishment doesn't like that. They don't like that they CAN'T control me." If ever a time has called(screamed) out for such a person, I think this is the case.
  2. Gawd I'd love it if Greener lost a bet, & had to don one of these on the bench :^) !!!
  3. OMG, If MD goes FULL-ON Binnington & wins Stanley, we'll have a cap-crunch!
  4. This one's important. If JM wants to play for a winner, he gives us a decent number, for 4 or 5 yrs commitment. But WAIT on the top-6 winger. If Dec slumps, sell some excess, & look long-term.
  5. I prayed last month to the Great Pastafarian Spagh-Monster that Bro LouiE would actually HIT somebody! Unbelievable
  6. Had a great 40 winks(why 40? not 30, 0r 50..who's responsible for these expressions?!) anywhoo, wake up to find another team-headache! Now it's TD..eegads Well, word is we're negotiating w/JM nowadays. Here it is.. a fully rested, perfect opportunity. You want the BIGBux? Put the team on yer back, & keep rolling on. I'd watch closely how he does this month, & it should play a role in his contract numbers(ranging from 4'ish - 5.75 per yr; 3 to 5 yrs) Hate to say it, but these Canes are a diabolical test, right now. I expect a real tough one. We need someone like Big Mac to come through w/unlikely heroics. 4-3 for the awesome-cool guyz, eh? GCG!
  7. We need a new emoji..sad face with a tear drop! :^/
  8. Let's call it a BDT(boredom Day Thread)..& since we're all mostly just twiddlin' thumbs... (at least there's some firings to entertain the lemmings)
  9. That supposed to be our D-zone, wise guy?!
  10. Really don't mind DeBoer being shown the door & the Snarks gifted their 1st? Seems their outlook is mighty poor!
  11. I'm hoping for an open-ended thread, that'll lend itself to ideas, input & discussion on the team's rebuilding pace. Unsure if there's appetite for it, but here's the hypothetical: Dec becomes an absolute drag(2-7, last 9 games)..& we stumble/fumble into 2020 w/38 pts, in 40 games. All skaters stay at about the pt % they're currently on. Edler is back in mid, late Jan, maybe only Ferland is LTIR. (pls accept these given^ variables, for ease of thread debate/discussion). Then I'd like to hear from any/all posters, your ideas for the season's 2nd half, if this(or fairly close) were to transpire. A few that I can start off with: 1- We're NOT gonna pull a StLoo. for anyone who might point back to that. No, our key guys would still be simply too young. 2- So do you trade some value/key guys, to collect picks AND stealth-tank? I feel this would be a very fair question/idea. 3- Sign Jacob? Trade him? Keep status-quo w/our tandem? 4- What to do about the head coach? Is he down to wks/season-end? 5- Focus more returns(from deals) on youth to help Comets? EG: More young prospects in return, than picks? *****some random opinions***** I'd like Tram back in black. A 3 or 4 yr deal, around 10-12 mill should entice. I'd trade Tanev & maybe the Big Tuna. For these types, a 2nd & prospect probably is worthwhile. Maybe move Benn to RhD-side? Let's try some of our depth, young D in 2nd half, especially Sautner & Brisebois. What do we REALLY have in these young players? If they implode..who cares? 2020 1st just keeps inching higher. Rafferty is debatable(he's really styling down there..maybe let him run w/it). OJ needs time, so don't rush him. - accept some 2021 picks(instead of 2020) if you can upgrade the rounds, for some of our fwds, say. Patience - Let's roll the dice more with youth in the 2nd half. DON'T recall kids, just so they make the F***ing coffee. - Trade some vets, & sign some college kids(Lockwood, Madden, Rathbone) We'll still have lots of vets in 2020-21(Edler, Myers, JT, Beags, etc...), but I think it's time that over half our roster SHOULD be guys under 25. Roll with it(the good & bad) & just let them GROW together.
  12. This gets a bump after a tough tilt. @BrockBoester pushed the darn PANIC button!(next freeken post..thanks man), but we gotta remember to enjoy watching the young crew grow together. Patience is in order.
  13. Milan AND LouiE..no can do! LTIR for MF is tiggidy boo. If he can't rumble next season, insurance covers a bunch(one would hope). This signing was pretty much no risk.
  14. May's well sit MF 'til next season! Take up knitting, & lay low.
  15. Last point, PGT(for this poster) is we need some new blood. I think JB has to deal a fwd, or two. But I wonder if anyone wants to do biz?
  16. Lousy reffing must factor in, as well. Skaters don't know what the hell gets called
  17. It's a good question. I wasn't that impressed with the boys yest The next opponent is really rolling. They'd better pull the socks up, PB.
  18. Spinnin' wheel, got to go 'round Talkin'bout youth movement but we, never learn Overpayin' veterans While the rookies get spurned!
  19. Awesome..I really like what Big Mac adds to our lineup!
  20. Well, that was a drag. Better win 3 or 4 outa' the next 5 games, or may as well sell pieces. Lots of div rivals are heating up.
