  1. I miss the AV era teams I'd even take his early trapping style wins over this garbage
  2. I mean if he's busy coaching he won't be able to jump in every time someone mentions ownership or rebuild.. In theory..

      We definitely had the team to win that year

      We had it all that year (except the cup)

      We just ran out of players, either injured or not playing, bad injuries or suspended We became shorthanded and handicapped from the team we were all year

      Going to be darn hard just to get to that position to be favourites again:(

      Well... I would have to accept you are also saying you miss the Gillis Era, as he built that team as well.  And I don't have a problem with that

       

  4. I'd rather watch this old team trap than this current team flounder.. This song lives in my head rent free
  5. Depends on who you ask I guess, and how long they've been following the team. I wouldn't say so, but my expectations weren't high for this season to begin with as I figured we were a fringe playoff team at best. When you don't get upset at losses it doesn't really matter, I've been having a laugh at this team all season, it's just part two of last season. The first couple months of last season were harder imo, took me a while to embrace the fact that we were a joke and that this team isn't good enough. The Bruce bump was entertaining but the problems that plagued this team under Green still continued to a degree under Boudreau. Last season wasn't a tale of two teams, we're the same Jekyll and Hyde team today. We just don't have Vezina caliber goaltending covering the warts anymore. Losing with this group doesn't phase me because I don't really expect them to have success. They'd be better off ejecting the veteran pieces of this core and starting over with Pettersson, Hughes, and the other youth. This team ain't going to contend any time soon let alone be a surefire playoff team. What really bothers me is the continued failure of our management groups, and the meddling of ownership if there's any truth to that. We've been mediocre at best most of the past ten years and it doesn't look like that'll change any time soon. Money tied up long term in vets when we're not going to really be competitive, a capped out bottom feeder, a shallow prospect pool, our inability to effectively draft and develop our own prospects, our continued mismanagement of draft picks and our historical unwillingness to sell players. We've done everything but actually try to rebuild, we've spun our wheels just trying to get into the playoffs because "anything can happen" but fallen on our face and missed out on that goal despite the best efforts of management. We haven't been trying to rebuild the past ten years, we've just sucked.
  6. Agreed tbh, that season was a mirage. The little run was a mirage. Fun to watch but still a mirage. Any other season we'd have missed the playoffs again, we made it because of math and just barely. Markstrom had gone down with a knee injury and we'd begun to trend downwards. Covid putting an end to that season and a play-in round that didn't exist beforehand coming into play is what got us in. Had a worldwide pandemic not factored in it'd have likely have been another lost season, which probably would have been for the best.

  8. Francesco may as well just play GM at this point out in the open Why even hire someone
  9. This doesn't inspire confidence Could be tossing a hand grenade into that room
  10. Judd Brackett depending on what your take is
  11. Maybe I'm nitpicking but you could throw in the following The whole Chicago Wolves affiliate bit Our management of 2nd round picks Our inability to properly draft and develop prospects Bieska (could go either way, was willing to go down with the ship) The McCann/Gudbranson trade Sam Gagner Paying a 2nd to dump Dickinson after one season OEL trade
