We used to kind of make fun of them the way lots of us do now on cdc. Shipoopi, Shipoopi, Shipoopi was a thing when Chaput scored. Haha. Except back then we didn't expect them to win, we knew they were rebuilding and it actually felt good when they won and we cheered when they made nice plays. And we looked forward to a couple nice picks in the draft. It was natural and enjoyable even during the dark periods. I've been a fan since 1980 and I've went through a lot of tough years but nothing as backwards as this. Deep down I want and find myself cheering for this team at times when they make good plays, because they can make some real nice plays and then I have to remind myself as to just how badly positioned we are and how winning the odd game just perpetuates mediocrity and continued poor short-sighted decisions. It's a horrible position to be in as a fan because nothing is good until they actually pick a direction and we know what we're cheering for. It's like watching a loved one struggle with internal decisions and knowing they need to come to a decision on their own. Alright venting done for now .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably obvious but ... the Friday afternoon meds are kicking in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayDangles Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 If anyone needs more examples of why this team needs a leadership change, look no further than the last minute of the 3rd. Garland gets nailed right in the chops in a situation where hockey players know what they are doing. Garlands hands are tied and Sergachev decks him right in front of our captain. What does Horvat do when he sees his linemate and guy who has 2 goals in 2 games get cheap shotted. Absolutely friggin nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Same thing he did when Hoglander got nailed and Horvat was right beside him, except that time Horvat just skated away. It makes me sick to watch this. Yes he scores goals, yes he is probably a nice guy, but he is gutless and leaves his teammates exposed and left laying on the ice. I'm over it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, starting a new rebuild isn't going to accomplish that any time in the next 10 years, nor is there much evidence that it ever leads to a Cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So someone shows "leadership" and retaliates against Sergachev, gets a penalty and takes any chance of completing the comeback away That's leadership? 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dermott with another concussion looks like a potential permanent LTIR Pearson situation looking similarly grim So cap space is open for them to do something silly like giving Bo 8.5m 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if NHL Player Safety ever has ever had a discussion with the officiating staff to try to address some of these actions during the game. The DOPS is just as corrupt as the refs. The NHL won't fix the problem voluntarily; it's going to take a lawsuit either from an injured player for criminal negligence, or from gambling partners. I've given up any other hope of the league making integrity and honesty a priority. NHLPA needs to take over player safety if the league doesn't start conducting be itself appropriately.

CanucksJay Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Has BB or Allvin or JR said anything about this? Burke would have lost it if he was still with us. Entire organization from management to players lack backbone. Need to change the culture or Petey is gone guaranteed. Those years or Roussel Beagle Sutter were absolutely pointless. Team is still gutless. Some oldies but goodies "I want to point out to the officials that Todd Bertuzzi does not play for Detroit, it just looks like that because he's wearing two or three Red Wings sweaters all the time," "Sedin is not Swedish for 'punch me, or headlock me in a scrum.
