I bet RomanP is a Virgo

Do you mean "virgin"?

 

I feel for the guy coming here with the intent of judging what opinions are relevant and which aren't.  Tough job.

Dude, English is my 4th language (after Ukrainian, Russian and Hebrew). Just saying... I would never just correct someone in a regular conversation. In this case was someone trying to be a smart ass.

I love Francesco - amidst all the anger & calls for a coach/GM firing - just casually sending this tweet out after the game. (When they got outplayed by the worst team)

 

 

I bet he didn't watch the game?

Irony.

I found this posted on the Sens board. I guess some of their fans were pretty confident about these two games.

I think he likes trolling the fan base.

Could be. I agree on his goaltending assessment but if anyone should have access to insider information on why we were so dismal earlier in the season, it should be the owner.

Insider information about the fan base being dismissal?  
 

I think everyone knows why we were so dismissive. The way we were playing earlier in the year was making fans pull out their hair, well maybe just me. 
 

The beginning of the year was very disheartening and the way we are playing now is similar to how we were playing last year. We are too reliant on elite goaltending. We haven’t seen much change from a team play perspective. You could argue we look a little worse this year compared to last year.
 

From a roster perspective we are seeing promise from certain individuals. Demko playing the way he is bodes well. Same with Hoglander. Virtanen/Gaud having a down year is a cause for concern but having all the young depth(Mac/Hawryluk/Gaud/Virtanen) is a good thing to have. 
 

Next year we have to figure out how to be more consistent and better in front of our goalies. I’d like for us to take that next step in team play.

From what I can tell it’s kinda new and who knows, maybe he’s just tone deaf.

 

but I think it’s pretty fun stuff either way.  With no ticket revenue the Aquas are under zero pressure to make a move regarding management and let’s face it... 99% of discussions regarding the team end up at that back and forth.  
 

He’s also right about the start to the season - and there was very little actual discussion among the media or pseudo-media about what caused that catastrophic start.  It just shifted straight to “this is a bad team” and why it’s all JB’s fault.  
 

Personally, I don’t mind reading the other side of the argument but I’m pretty fed up with everything being framed as an argument to fire management when clearly the on-ice ups and downs have at times been quite underwhelming compared to the talent level available.  
 

I’m not sure how much of it is that’s what gets the clicks these days... or if the majority of the loudest voices really don’t know much about the sport and that’s why they’ve created their own language around “analytics” to replace their obvious deficiencies in breaking down actual play.  
 

In any case, the Aquas have made it clear managerial decisions will be made in the offseason, if at all, so why not get your licks in after a win?  Not like any of those people whose lives literally revolve around the Canucks (negatively or not) are going to stop consuming the product.

If we are being honest I'd be over the moon to watch Ovi Erikkson and Baer let alone what you are proposing.

We'd all like to see OV here but I'm 99.9% sure he'll retire a Cap. Seems like an incredibly loyal guy, same as Sid.

Then there's the issue of the cap.

[HockeyHarry]

I turn off the cap option in franchise mode. Its pretty easy.

We are probably the only team in the league that can make a bottom feeder rebuilding team looks like the Vegas Golden Knights.
