  1. Sutter was right when he said that Goldy needs to find the balls to get in the dirty areas.

     

    people who are saying that Sutter has no right to say something like that are really oblivious to the fact that in this case Goldy is only starting his NHL career whereas Sutter has played 9? Seasons and has seen enough players come through the loop to know what you need to do in order to find success in the league.

      That's a good question Vinny. What we don't know is how many times 1 or more people said the same or similar things to, or if they had any effect on, Goldobin prior to Sutter's public comments. Whether Sutter is the epitome of a battling forward is irrelevant. He's at the end of his 9th year in the league so he obviously knows a thing or 2 about what it takes to STAY in this league. 

       

      The media, with absolutely nothing better to do with themselves, take the opportunity to put a negative spin on several cherry picked situations and slap out a "story".

       

      That article was peppered with so much bias I couldn't even finish it. Waste of a read.

      One thing I find, and I suppose it's human nature, is that when the team's doing well, the articles all tend to be positive and is all about how good the team's character is and great plays that are made. When the team's doing terrible, every sports writer all of a sudden becomes a President/GM/Coach as every little thing gets magnified. But imho, the players need to know this as well - I don't know, if I were a player and the team's not doing well, I'll be extra cautious about what I mention to the media as they'll be out for blood.

      I agree with you for the most part, but these guys aren't running for office so they really shouldn't give a hoot about what the media writes or thinks, and I'd wager most of them don't.

  2. morales has been much better for us than edwin has been for tribe
  3. He took her to prom last year, sweet story
  4. Brandon Prust on the Olympic desicion, I quote "Way to ruin the sport of hockey even more gary"

      A blast from the past; thrust from ol' Prust

      Old books on the shelf, slowly gathering dust

      No patience for tale

      Nor bobblehead-fail

      He blew outa' town, at the first windy-gust

      Prust is an Idiot - this isn't Bettman's decision people its the OWNERS

       

      1. Owners care about winning a cup and playoffs 

       

      2. Players get fatigued whether we admit it or not (and risk injury) 2 months before the playoffs

       

      3. The players going are also the very best players on their respective club teams so not only are you tiring them, you're tiring your stars

       

      4. Insurance issues as well - no owner wants to see a crosby or ovie hurt for the season or worse playing games they are not paid for

       

      Gary just delivers the news people - Prust is an idiot for suggesting such things but we already knew he was an idiot

      Prust should stick to carrying around Maripier's purse.....

  5. Would Glass be a good pick if we land picks somewhere between 6-8?
  6. Only if he's proved that he can be more than effective at the pro level
  7. Question is whether Green put juolevi in the lineup or not
  8. Should've cut smoak, put Pearce at 1st and rotate Upton and Carrera
  9. If you were hoping for size and toughness why were you upset with the virtanen pick?
  10. The way the camera behind the mound is set up is really annoying
  11. you give @/The 5th line a picture of tkachuk on a stuffy toy and i won't be surprised if he kisses it and puts it to bed every night.
  12. I guess I won't have to change my name to 'ireallylovemen10' then haha
  13. 1. Liljegren? 2. Patrick 3. Hischier 4. Vilardi 5. Necas/Mittlestadt/Petterson/Makar
  14. Impossible, unless we get Brent Burns... even San Joses dman have only 47 goals. 20-25 from the defence seems more likely.
