Alvin seems to be MIA these days.

Followed by "sell the team"

Jim's Retool is like 3 card draw poker. Toss 3 cards back and draw 3 more and hope they make your hand better. Instead of drawing new cards to replace the discards he should be selling his deck.

I agree that was the darkest era and this is very similar. And a rumor that Recchi could be part of Tocchets coaching staff adds to this. Recchi is by no means Messier but instead of being a classy winner, he publically and repeatedly ran down the 2011 Canucks well after the fact.

The skate jerseys at this junction are nothing more than lipstick on a pig. Just a way of trying to Parr fans with their money and not bothering to improve the on ice product.

Miller extension, Boeser extension, IM big contract, 2nd for Stillman. Still no work to fix the defense other than Bear who along with Kuz is the only positive. Ya, I blame JR and Alvin, they knew the problems with the team and are perpetuating where Benning left off. Bruce has been made out to be a roadkilked lame duck time and time again by JR. The team responds accordingly to management dysfunction..... this is not on Bruce..... JR was hired to fid answers to these problems and after 14 months he still has none.

I hope fans at the gamee tonight salute BB. Also they can chant "SELL THE TEAM" once again.

Give him 3 years and he can be the captain too.

Yup, Wright would definitely not be on the table for a rental player and aside from draft picks Seattle has little else to offer. I can't see them being a fit.

For most owners the only voice that they hear is the bottom line. Season ticket holders collectively hold that voice, if they stop renewing then they get heard.

Oilers had a run like that a decade or so ago.

There is nothing I can respect about this man. His actions have been nothing but shameful, he is a puppet master and Ticchet is a wlliing marionette.

5-3 Oilers Connor McDiva gwg

6-5 Canucks Petey gwg

I know I am doing what I am not supposed to be doing and acting like a mod but seriously....... there is a separate thread for this discussion. Please take it there, I am here for an escape from politics or other issues and am wanting to talk hockey which is what this thread is about...

That may be the end result but barring an injury to Bo they still have time to try and get a bidding war going.

I always thought that Dumba was over rated and am reminded of that everytime I see him play. He does nothing well and isn't a great defender, at this point I would consider sticking with Burroughs as a better option because at least Burr comes cheap and has an incredibly good attitude.

Highlights of the night: -Gino -Stamkos hits 500 -Someone bombs on air -Ketchup on steak -Kid gets hit with puck but gets puck and stick. - guy won a car -Kuz has a real good game.

I like Stamkos, seems like a good dude. Happy for him.

Hmmm sh... out?

That was a game.

Sign that goalie!!!!

Is that Cliff Ronning out there?

OK Petey, there's your ABBA.
