I think back to something Ole Anderson once said to Jim Cornette: "Jim, I used to think you were a dumb ***** but so many other dumb ***** have come along since that you moved up the ladder without even trying!".

If we can't beat a team at home who just played a brutal game vs arguably the best team in the conference 20 hours earlier and starting their #2 in goal instead of the guy who was robbed of the Vezina we may as well just start the 2024 Draft Lottery Watch thread the second the game ends.

Obviously their management has been awful which is why they have been one of the top teams in the league for decades.

An organization that's been a contender for decades thought he was worth the money. The organization that is currently on a historic run of failure felt he was not. How it turned out was entirely predictable to anyone with common sense. Or to put it another way: Joe Sakic says "Do that." Mike Milbury says "Don't do that". Whose advise are you taking?

Sean Burke could come out of retirement tomorrow and be #1 on our team.

We are getting Varlamov instead of Sorokin and they are playing tonight vs NJ. NO ***** EXCUSES

Another thing he has in common with Garf: He will never make a trade he is not forced to make unless he is absolutely certain he has won it. We have a billion undersized skilled forward prospects and he absolutely refuses to part with ANY of them to fix the obvious roster holes.

Having 3 goalies on a roster was one of the legendary Garth Snow clown car moments and a great example of why he was and is considered a complete joke who will never get another GM job. So Kevyn decided to copy one of the all time worst moves by one of the biggest joke executives in hockey history.

Letting Ullmark walk is really going to end up a Whalers trading Ron Francis level ***** up isn't it?

I keep thinking back to that preseason game vs the Pens when Crosby (who had less to prove than anyone on any roster in the entire sport) instigated a fight. He wasn't content to lollygag and not give his best effort, unlike all our guys doing victory laps for accomplishing nothing and being lazy and out of shape. That's why he's Crosby and we are the biggest losers in hockey history.

Terribly coached and terribly prepared team getting eaten alive.

If I had to guess: He is hurt.

Happy World Okapi Day!

At this point I would replace VO with Sabretooth.

VO isn't just "bad", he is a boat anchor who sucks down any line he plays on. There are very few players in the league who could carry a guy who is that bad.

He is petrified at the thought of giving up one or two of our 5,435 undersized forward prospects to fix holes so obvious they can be seen from space.

If only we didn't step on our own ***** by bridging the reigning Vezina winner out of town.

They are the exact opposite of the Devils who will never stop contacting you.

This is going to be an ugly ugly night. Team that looks completely out of shape and has no idea what to do when confronted by the trap vs a team whose entire identity is based on it. 4-1 loss with Okposo getting our lone goal.

They organization is still too busy taking a victory lap over missing the playoffs by a point.

"I'm not angry at you, I'm just disappointed."

If you are constantly dropping points on home ice it strongly suggests that the coaching staff has something to answer for.

You would think a guy who has made several good trades while in a position of weakness (Jack, Sam, Risto) would make more trades as he seems pretty good at them.
