TrueBlueGED Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 That dude is the definition of milquetoast As is evidenced by everyone's comparisons to high school and beer league :lol: On the bright side, it's possible his giant head houses some grade-A gray matter.

Thorny Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Geez. It's like no one ever hired a GM that didn't work out before. May I remind you two poopy posters of: - Eichel - Risto - ROR - Reino - Kane - Okposo - McCabe - Lehner - Nylander - #8 overall pick in draft next month - RJ - No internal salary cap - State of the art practice and conditioning facilities - Unlimited resources for scouting, assistant coaches, etc. - Burning desire by ownership to win and willingness to spend whatever it takes to get there - Dedication by ownership to downtown urban renewal, with tangible accomplishments already Next year's team will almost certainly be significantly better than this year's team. Quit feeling sorry for yourselves. It's a great day to be alive. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted May 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) Tbf you can take Freeman's list, remove Nylander and Okposo, and it's the same exact list as we would have had last May. Hell, you can take that exact list and just remove the pick and again, same list as last July. None of that means jack ###### if we don't fix the blue line and / or hire another bad coach Edited May 3, 2017 by WildCard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 We're not in the "underrated" part for Toews yet - the dude was just declared a top 100 player of all time over Geno Malkin Please don't remind me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just more proof that championships matter more than they should when evaluating the player. Or GM / HC too really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Buffalo Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Me too. I've said all along I've respected the way he's done it his own way, the whole time. Good scout imo, as others have said, not so good in valuations... wish him the best... he might want to lay off the sauce a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthEbriate Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Well, I think it's possible to think both things -- i.e. that the tank was a mistake AND that there is reason to be optimistic for the team's prospects next year and in the long term. Some say the glass is half empty. Some say the glass is half full. Some say there is no glass and we are all awash in the water of time and space. I say do or do not, there is no tank. So... do we have a GM yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weave Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Jeremy White RT'd a great one: "Not the first time Murray overpaid for a Moulson?" It was definitely Osteria. Tim and his wife have been regulars there since he came to town. GoDD would approve. A regular at a bar? My kind of guy. Now I'm sad to see him go.
