I always point to the Boston game which was one of his first starts. We were ravaged by injuries/poor depth at the time going up against the best team in the NHL, and he keeps it a 2-1 game up until the final couple minutes. I also think his performance at the World Championship fast tracked his development. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather Martin get the relaxed second position to show what he can do and then be a resource for trades rather than a liability. Martin is good enough. He had too much pressure being the only one. Silvos needs more time in AHL as a top goalie, maybe coming up after we trade Martin mid season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet the Jets play him against Van every game this year and he kills it. We need to protect Silvos by playing our time with him in AHL and exposing Martin to the drama of NHL where he will actually do better to push Demko than Silvos would.

I am still laughing at "overwhelmingly cautiously optimistic". I don't think we'll make playoffs as i think training camp will produce mixed big lines at the expense of our scoring. Tocchet last year kept petey and kuz away from each other far too much and doing so again will doom this team. I think we'll be a better defensive team (not like we can be much worse) but i think our scoring will plunge and it'll cost us in the games we need to win in a tight division. I think boeser-miller will be a weaker link too. Be great to be wrong with kuz-pettey killing it and miller continuing but i don't see it.

It's odd that this stuff doesn't come up in regards to the Sedins or other class acts of the league but it's like flies on excrememnt of the scum of the league. Suspicious. So you believe Cole is a child rapist/groomer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can fight off a 2 or 3 on one a few times, make some big hits, I dont care if he has weird bedroom fetishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the problem with today's society, social judgment is more important than what someone acually does. Maybe I am misinterpreting but your posts are starting to get weirder and weirder. I hope you are not suggesting that a grown man having relations with a minor is a "bedroom fetish", it's actually completely psychotic behaviour. And no being a "creep" is absolutely a reason to judge a person. Just because someone hasn't broken the law doesn't mean that they haven't engaged in behaviour that is problematic. There are lots of creeps that haven't been convicted in a court of law, it doesn't mean they aren't reprehensible people. You can defend Cole without defending the behaviour/actions that he has been accused of. The accusations against Cole are unfounded and since there is no person who has come forward and attached their name to the allegation and they emerged as an anonymous online post, they don't hold any credibility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how serious the allegations are, one has to question why you're still here supporting this franchise. I certainly wouldn't be if I were convinced the franchise I were a fan of had just given a contract to a child rapist and groomer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
