pi2000 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I'm always weary of attaching too much hope on prospects to make an impact and change our play style. It is very rare that any of these young guys that we pin our hopes too even make the NHL, yet alone make an impact. I know we have been tank and prospect focused for a long time around here, but successful franchises don't rely on young players and prospects to change the direction of the franchise. I disagree. Drafting well and having young players make an impact are trademarks of successful teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jsixspd Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 This should not be happening to you, freeman, or SDS. There is absolutely no sense to it. 110% agreement. That's so childish for that to happen. Personally, I have never discussed, and never will discuss, politics at this forum. There was that old adage "Never discuss politics or religion at the dinner table" - and that applied to FAMILIES having dinner. If family members couldn't discuss such topics without pain and anguish, imagine how much worse with relative strangers to one another??? It's like throwing matches into gasoline. Nothing good will come of it. We don't need that crap here. Thanks, mod team! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things got a little heated during the election. Again, no one was forced to read or post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampD Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 I think I respect Bylsma's (what's the catchphrase everyone is using) low event hockey even more after watching last night's game. Montreal used the dreaded D&C more than we did, and they used the even more dreadeder stretch pass even more. They are just way better at it and destroyed us because of it. And boy, that game by Franson last night, oof what a stinker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Eight-Plus. Dilation and curettage? In hockey? Even worse: Democrat & Chronicle. When Kevin O & Leo R are forechecking, nobody has a chance. Even scarier than Torrey M & Paul B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyldnwoody44 Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Eight-Plus. Dilation and curettage? In hockey? We have to stop the bleeding and remove those uterine fibroids, mainly named Bogo and Franson..... Maybe we need to start the team on some birth control, so they don't reproduce for when, ya know, they get taken advantage of on a nightly basis.
