That suspension against Arron Rome was BS .

I don’t think he had or was considered a previous offender,.   And the hit occurred within a second of the puck released.

Rome was wired for that series,  and his energy was a big piece of that club.

 

Yes 94 ,   Hard to find teams like that anymore, grit skill and determination.

Likely not even a fine if Horton hadn't fakeda concussion.

Management thought they were so good that they went out to buy players to supplement them.

 

Mikheyev and Kuzmenko were good signings. It's clear, however, that we can't save a sinking ship.

Too much money in too few hands.

In the words of former BC Lion Carl Kidd "the GM ... he don't do good contracts!"

We came out playing like we wanted to win.  Fun watching the game before the first goal.

We play the same way in both ends though. Its fun watching the fancy plays between our top talent in the O zone, which can rival the best teams out there, but they play the same way in the D zone, attempts to make a couple of fancy dekes and passes before they even leave the zone.  No need to impress with that in the D zone, just simplify your game, get in position, and get it going the other way quickly.

Good for him, if true.

Nope. How much playoff revenue did he make and will he make? Not as much as he would had he followed Linden’s plan. 
 

And those of us that were saying the time to take the short term rebuild hit was then. What a waste of time and talent.

Yes. So many missing pieces. Even with the deals they are talking about. It's going to be a while before we see playoff hockey.

Gonna be at least two to three years, if they do it right. 
 

Could take longer as building up the defense usually takes a while. 
 

right now, we have 1 surefire top4D in Hughes. OEL is #4/5. Myers, Dermott, and Bear are 5/6, Schenn is 6/7, Burroughs and Stillman are 8/AHL.
