  1. Something needs to be done. Yeo has a track record of being an absolute cancer in the room; he should never have been hired and management needs to get rid of him now before we have another Green situation.
  2. There's a middle ground between this and Green gifting unearned icetime to guys who had no business playing a single shift at the NHL level. Both extremes make it really hard to hold guys accountable. Miller needs to be scratched and advised that if he continues to float, he will be suspended without pay.
  3. I still think Green may have done permanent damage with his incompetence and lack of professionalism. Boudreau is at least a real coach; I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt for now, but the team needs a hockey trade bringing in a D for a winger.
  4. For all we know Garland missed a curfew or something and it's being kept behind closed doors. It's not the same as with Green; Bruce is an actual NHL coach and has earned some benefit of the doubt.
  5. We're already getting torched in our own zone. Stillman has been fine.
  6. I would too. You don't want to create a culture like in Toronto and Edmonton where backchecking is completely optional. Holding the stars accountable sends the right message.
  7. Parayko is probably as close as it gets, and there isn't much I wouldn't consider moving to get him.
  8. It's been a problem since the NHL's excessive penalty against Bertuzzi for doing what the league should have done by ensuring that Moore would cut out the cheapshots for good. Bert deserved the Masterton, not a suspension.
  9. Pretty much ideal callup. I wanted a longer look at him last year as he's still young enough to develop.
  10. Yep. This is why I don't want him wearing the C even if we trade Horvat; we don't want to be like Edmonton where the captain refuses to backcheck.
  11. This is the first time in ages that we haven't opened the season with a defenceman who can't play defence. Larsen, Weber, Hunt, Pouliot, Del Zotto, Bartkowski all had no business playing at the NHL level for any reason.
  12. With what cap space? Dickinson didn't earn a roster space in camp, and people would also be complaining about giving up the young assets to get Mayfield, who would require giving up a first rounder. The ultimate solution is likely to be a hockey trade, which will require some patience.
  13. The cap dump you're complaining about brought back a legit 3rd pairing LD, which we didn't have, while also clearing cap for future moves.
  14. Yeah, he looked pretty decent even though he was set up to fail by being paired with Hunt. I like what he brings as a callup; he's not flashy but he makes good choices and can be trusted in his own zone.
  15. I think it's time for Poolman to start thinking about his quality of life after hockey. I'd like to see him back from a hockey point of view but I hope he makes the right choice for him and his loved ones.
  16. They are at least NHL quality players, unlike the trash that Toronto and Edmonton call defencemen. You're really underestimating just how bad Green and Baumgartner were.
  17. He's a middle six guy similar to Higgins. Won't drive a ton offense but can play with almost anyone and contribute.
  18. Apart from hockey, he needs to start thinking about his long-term health and quality of life. Might not be the worst idea for him to reach out to Gino like Ferland did.
  19. Hopefully it's gone, but it's still going to take some time to build them back. Last year we kept seeing the lasting damage that those two idiots caused. They not only didn't understand the game, they poisoned the locker room with their lack of professionalism. I'll give the guys 20 games or so; we haven't had a camp run by an actual NHL coach since Torts and it's going to be an adjustment.
