Guess I'll flip over. That scenes less scary than this game is.

I wish I could neg you into oblivion. I get he doesn't take chances on his big kronwalls anymore, but Pisswall? Really? This is low even for you

No he wasn't. He was never the same after his beast olympics.

Idk how to iron... but my girlfriend does. I'll get her right on it.

tank it

Eichel will fersure go to one of Buff, ARI, or EDM. Only way Toronto gets him is if they win the lottery and draft him over Mcdavid. So basically they won't get him.

Hopefully he goes to MSU, they actually need a coach

Maize n Blue But what does that have to do with Red Berenson?

What are the chances he takes over for Red at U of M?

Too bad Babs is an idiot and never used him

What'd you mean last ever? Are they folding or something?

And I'm saying that a rookie coach, just like a rookie player, could very well struggle with this team. I don't think Babs is something that isn't replaceable, I think he's something that doesn't warrant replacing. For the majority of the year his team WAS built for that and executed it. Now a slump has come and you sir have jumped off/on the band wagon.

You brought em up friend, not me

I think your overstating how great we think babs is

You really want to gauge his coaching on Legwand, Weiss, Glendening, and Andersson? I'm prepared to defend his decisions on all those players.

I agree with you on all those points. But I'm willing to send Blashill out just like we sent Yzerman, Nill, and a multitude of other coaches out. Why take on something unproven when you already have something great? I'm not gonna throw away a top 5 coach to gamble on a guy just cause he was successful in a lesser league. If Dave Lewis was our coach I'd partial, but he's not. Appreciate the brown nosing, but I don't know or like you back dude sorry. Where as I'd say he brings the perfect coaching balance to a team full of euros

So you don't have a source where he says he wants to be in a system where he has more power I take it? I wouldn't believe everything you read on the internet friend. Especially if the person it's about never actually said it. So then you want Blashill? a rookie with no cups? Just cause he might be able to do what Babs didn't?

I think we've seen that already with Jarnkrok, Ouellet, Marchenko, Jurco, and Pulkinnen. He's clearly trying out what he think could work.

...Yzerman was trained as a GM under Holland. He was never a coach. Is that an easy enough point for you to grasp? Babs is easily one of the top 5 coaches in the league. You don't just walk away from a guy like that if you can keep him. Qvill and Sutter have done great under elite teams sure, but Babs got this team into the playoffs these least few years when we were pretty much counted out. Source?

...Cause he's a coach, not a GM

I'll ask you the same I ask everyone. Who do you want? Rookie Blashill? Random fired coach from other team? Name it. And we hire the bowmans???

This makes the 2008 and 2009 playoffs sad

Don't know whatcha got till it's gone I guess

Can you imagine an unrelated Zetterberg and Holmstrom on this team down the line? Would be strange to say the least lol

How can you clowns argue about Smith when Paul Coffey just died?
