I have just read most of the media write ups about the 15 day suspension...It's very interesting to note hat public opinion is swaying from Tortorella being a complete maniac to Hartley being a cunning coward...The 25K fine definitely called him out.
Let's face it..Schroeders not going to set the league on fire,but the Canucks(who are literally starving for any offence) could use him right about now.
As bad as they have been on this roadtrip,I think that they will snap out of it....With the addition of Luongo,Burrows and Schroeder(as someone above alluded to)....
This is a transition year.....we've had quite a few years as an elite team....so it's going to be a real bumpy ride this season...If you cant hack it,I would suggest not watching and come back next year.
You "think" he was once respected........Do you know the other GMs around the league...?....Sounds like speculation to me...Why don't you just say you don't like MG.
In order to win NHL GM Of The Year....It has to go through a a 40 person voting committee ...30 of those are the other GM's from around the league....Kind of makes your no respect/rapport pretty lame.
I can understand that it's a numbers game,but I am still loathe to trade Schroeder...He's a really good playmaker,and also good in the SO..I still think the kid is going to succeed...I hope it's here.
The team is having to reinvent itself under Torts....Last two years in the playoffs ,they haven't really been playing 'together'..I think that is the point that's trying to be made.
I respectfully disagree...a message was clearly needed,not just for the Kings,but for the Canucks themselves..I think a lot of fans are sick of the passive game..left to the devices of he referees(especially under AV)..
