Re: Players You Hate
Twas a solid post. I lost a ton of respect for Elms when he ran and hid during the COVID outbreak and the Virtanen scandal.

Re: Players You Hate
What are the major holes you speak of? Most of what I've seen is criticism of the backup goalie, the #10 forward Dickinson, and the #3LD. I think with the way Hamonic is playing the right side is looking pretty good.
But I see a stellar goalie, top D man, top-line, and Petey has been heating up for the past 20 games.
Not trolling, but I don't see any of the problem areas to be "major holes". Not having cap flexibility is not the same thing as a "major holes" on the team, imo.
I wouldn't call Miller and Garland "pissed away picks". It's not like acquiring guys like Kapanen and Zucker for 1sts plus prospects. Those deals I'd call pissing away picks, but not getting Garland and Miller on good cost controlled contracts.They’ve already pissed away two firsts, two seconds and two thirds the last couple seasons.

Re: Players You Hate
I see eight top nine forwards if I’m generous. I see a missing top 4 RHD, a backup goalie and a LHD that can play some hard minutes behind OEL. Plus forwards that can PK.
The picks that have been hemorrhaged for OEL( if you subscribe that the 1st went for Garland, there was no need to toss in an extra second for them to eat one year of Louie, Beagle, Roussel), a 3rd for Dickinson, a 2nd for Toffoli + a top prospect when they never had any intention of re-signing TT. They have fuck all in the system coming up. Ratbones who’s redundant here, the Bealarussian who’s years away and that’s it. You need a constant stream of kids on ELC to stay competitive.

Re: Players You Hate
The 3rd pair lefty is fairly insignificant in the big picture.
Hamonic is a bottom pairing guy on a contender. Same goes for Schenn. Myers is a 2nd pairing right sider.
That 1st pairing righty is a critical missing link

Re: Players You Hate
You whine daily about Brad Hunt. One injury to Olli or Quinn and they’re fucked. A Brendan Dillon to anchor that pairing would go a long way.Cousin Strawberry wrote: ↑Sun Mar 13, 2022 5:15 pmThe 3rd pair lefty is fairly insignificant in the big picture.

Re: Players You Hate
I’ve never quite understood the vitriol that young local players (usually playing for the league minimum) receive on this board. If they are 6 ft tall or shorter look out.

Re: Players You Hate
York Hunt has looked much better for the past 10+ games or so. Twas a relief as I figured this was what we were getting all along....he previously had looked pretty good for Minny

Not about anything other than the short leash local kids get here. The underdogs anyways. Most of the mouth breathers thought Jakey was pretty darn good for most of his career here.Cousin Strawberry wrote: ↑Sun Mar 13, 2022 6:17 pmIs this about Stretcher again?Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Sun Mar 13, 2022 5:37 pmI’ve never quite understood the vitriol that young local players (usually playing for the league minimum) receive on this board.

Re: Players You Hate
Ronning and the Courtnalls didn't have any issues as local heroes.
Hunt looked like a gaped Hunt until mid February so not sure what you're defending there. Stretcher was just plain bad

Re: Players You Hate
I feel that this offseason will be long, and I shall keep my thoughts warm. They are fueled with the vitriol of my hatred.
Its still Messier.

While shitting on the Uberdough, I had an epiphany. Outside of ex-Canucks (Gelinas, Taney and Marky), LMRB is my favorite flame of all time. And I hate him. Go figure
