Weave

IMO Regier was let go due to market pressure (fans) and not job performance. I think Jbotts future rests in the hands of fan reaction as well. If the end of the season has the fans in revolt yet again, Jbott doesn't stand a chance.

Unfortunately, they are pretty much last season's team also.

If it happens, it happens. But to actively root for it after a decade of underwhelming performances? No thanks.

So let's see....... Regier failed. Murray failed. Botteril failed. Ruff failed, Rolston failed. Bylsma failed. Housley failed. Yup. Let's keep rooting for enough losing for more deck chair changes. Makes sense.

For 8 seasons, "I'm sorry, I can't stomach more of ___________" has been the rallying call for more losing. We lose. People get frustrated with it. And they root for more losing. Wtf?

We've been rooting for losing out for what, 8 years now? 9 years? It's not like we've seen massive gains from it to expect more of. You can keep it. I'll root for seeing them play their best and let the cards fall where they may.

Rooting for losing. You all want to see more of last night? Oh, I get it. You'll stop watching, cheer the losses. F that. I'm here for the duration. Win some ***** hockey.

I’ll miss Darcy right up until the time another GM gets this team into the playoffs consistently. That’s not necessarily praise of Darcy as much as it is damning everyone who’s follwoed.

End of pedantic display.

No. We are deducing that there is an injury.

Was that before or after he declared it a Democrat hoax?

I can think of one. Because winning always matters, and the fanbase needs to see it again.

We don't even know what the injury is, if it even is an inury. There are plenty of hurt scenarios where there is minimal risk to play through it. Ribs is one. To an extent, hernia is another.

I told my son someone needed to address Marchewhateverhisnameis even if Montour caused that. Let him know that no contact is tolerated.

If I could like this 10x I would. There is no need to compare Bot to TM. He’s not competing against TM. He’s competing against the other league GMs. And he hasn’t kept up with their pace for the most part. And we’ve said it before, but it deserves to be said again, signing another GMs draft picks, developing another GMs talent, choosing the consensus #1 with the first pick are absolute rock bottom expectations for a GM. They just don’t register on any meaningful scale of competence. Those are being captain of a ship on calm, open waters kind of stuff.

Go on....

Those are some fairly damning stats.

The stretch between Sarnia and London was sketchy as hell. The highway was glazed over badly in many spots. Lots of tractor trailers off the road. At one point I noticed it was all truck traffic and virtually no passenger cars. I suspect the natives knew something I didn't and stayed off that highway. All's well that ends well. I'm home in one piece.

Whatever happens, great game.

Fun game so far

And he never should.

Ultimately I’ll be east of Buffalo.

I usually cross at Lewiston but I’ll cross wherever the storm lets me. Or I stay in Detroit another day.....

Yup. He was a slash and cross check magnet.

Yeah, and it doesn’t look like staying an extra day is going to help me any
