    At What Point Does Holland Deserve Blame?

    Things you would like to see for 2015-16 Season

    Forgot to add, we should sign Jon Jones and Brock Lesnar.

    Who is the coach next season?

    What are the chances the Pens fire their coach and get Babcock?

    We need some size and some wingers who can score goals. No more Helm or Abby on the top lines. Everyone wants a top pairing defenseman, but I don't see that happening. Phaneuf is an option but I think Toronto would try to keep him instead of letting him go to us.

    Some of those "circumstances" were his fault. Keeping Cleary, Sammy and Bertuzzi around for too long. Trading a first rounder for Quincey. Spending too many trade deadlines on the phone ordering pizza instead of doing his job. His defenders make it sound like he's a victim of bad luck or something. He's made his own troubles the last few years. Yeah, there were some bad breaks in there but he's not absolved of guilt.
  6. How old is Hossa? We could have had him for all those years instead of Franzen. We need a legit winger who can score big goals in the playoffs. If we have such a player currently on this team, please name him.
  7. I hope Steve Yzerman feels a terrible guilt in his sleep tonight. A sickening feeling like he did something bad. Dreams like Brutus had after Caesar was killed.
  8. Imagine how many goals Hossa would score on that line. Besides, Abby is not going to score big goals in the playoffs. He didn't in this series either. We need legitimate talent in the top 6.
  9. Filppula vs. Hudler. McGrattan vs. Mons Venus. How can you not like the implications?
  10. Abby is not a bonafide top 6 player. A bonafide top 6 player would score more points in the regular season playing with Zetterberg and Nyquist. And certainly would do more in the playoffs than Abby did. He works hard and improved greatly, but still doesn't have a lot of talent.

    Who is the coach next season?

    Blashill, with Lidstrom and Cleary as assistant coaches.
  12. What does that mean? Abby is no Abby either.
  13. Bettman is dreaming of another Tampa vs. Calgary final.
  14. What else is there to do in Wisconsin?
  15. None of the other pictures I googled were appropriate.
  16. Stamkos has been criticized in the playoffs before. Difference is, he's young and has upside. Of course he shouldn't retire. Zetterberg probably shouldn't retire either, but there's really no upside there. He's hit his peak and needs a Nyquist or Tatar to take over like he and Datsyuk did when the previous generation stars got old.
  17. LOL. I forgot Weiss was even on this team. I wonder if he even watched this game?
  18. Got any real response to my post there, bud? Or just want to ***** about my "posting habits"?

    The past was a long time ago. Let it go.
  20. This one hurts more than last year when we never had a chance. A Montreal vs. Detroit series would have been awesome and fun for the league. Then again, the league doesn't like fun anymore. No scoring, no hitting and no fighting. No ratings either. Nobody gives a s*** about Tampa vs. Montreal.
  21. Where is it? In the past? On paper? In the future? Not on the ice the last few playoffs.
  22. Datsyuk was bad in the playoffs early on. So was the entire team in those seasons. But he still played better than Nyquist or Tatar have.
  23. That will be Holland's motto in the offseason. Ironically, just about every team that loses in the playoffs can say something like this.
  24. Maybe he gives a s*** about this team and wants them to do good.
  25. Look at the quality of those 31 shots. The good chances we did have, we missed wide and weren't even credited as SOG. It all comes back to not having any real talent that can score. Guys like Abby and Helm aren't top 6 players. Either Nyquist or Tatar need to go, because they do have talent but can't score in big moments.
