Here is my drivel.Blob Mckenzie wrote:Sloppy ,I will respond to your drivel on March 1st. Pretty easy to criticize the GM in a losing streak when Ray Charles could see that the coach and the players are performing well below expectations. Let's give it another month before we analyze this situation shall we? If you are so enamoured with obese GM's that promise much and produce little there is a team in Toronto that has a pair of them. i'm sure they would love to have you. Nonis had 4 drafts and three seasons here and produced one playoff run and three decent prospects. Lets give Gillis the same amount of time before we start the whining and balling.
First of all...I am not a obese GM lover....
I do (did) not see MG as an upgrade...imo...like you said.....lets see what he can do......although I think there is a TON more with the Aquman problem than there was a Nonis problem.....anyhoo....
can i NOW crticize on a winning streak......thanks......our third line centre is Welwad...freakin awsome???..I know we can move guys around but there were a lot of filthy,dirty checkers out there to be picked up.Did you see who Chicago picked up to stop the Sedins......or Calgary......
So what is the lesson that you were going to tell me on March 1st? that the best trade is no trade? I bet that was NOT what you were thinking....some thing bold perhaps.....neither was I.......MG has turned out to be more of a PAT QUINN than the 'pile of shit agent' that i thought was dropping in on us......
I agree with MG going forward....empty cupboard...bold moves.....GM's that promise a lot & produce little...hey, I think MG did the right thing in not making any move......it is a weird market these days...salary cap can go anywhere & no one is taking chances...hell I thought Lawton was making BOLD moves!!
I know MG will say that we are 'not there yet' & most of us will be happy to advance to the second round & lose a 'close one' in 6 games...hey I will be OK with that too..with the direction we are going we look OK....this season is turning out OK......now that THE BIG 10 MILLION $$ FISH has landed....nice catch MG.....
Now sign the Sedins, Ohlund, Sundin & Bouwmeester..........hello Stanley Cup
& don't call me Sloppy again fatso
