Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"
How much of the odd decisions were Lindens though? They had a well publicized difference of opinion
Since his departure the team has taken a dramatic turn for the better...Obviously Benning had a hand in things but its an uncanny rise signified by that firing. The fact they didnt even interview Tkatchuck has me thinking thats on TL
Coincidence?

Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"
Those are clearly his greatest failures but how can you not be onboard with the rest of his work? This past summers additions have all been winners. Maybe the guy is human and learning to do his job better every year.Doyle Hargraves wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2019 8:25 amGudbranson, Eriksson, Gagner, Delzaster..,, Sutter etc, etc all those on Linden too?The Brown Wizard wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2019 8:21 am How much of the odd decisions were Lindens though?

The team is very very well set up moving forward. Every single last NHL gm has a handful of failures to go along with their successes. Forever judging people on their worst moves isnt a good state of mind This glass is absolutely half full now

Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"
From the beginning it was obvious to a few of us that all you had to do was look at prospect development time vs expiring contracts to see the plan laid out. Shuffle placeholders through the transition and patiently stick to the script.
Butt some people can't handle a rebuild.

Blah blah blah none of this has anything to do with some of the dumb dumb signings and trades.

Some people are too much of a troll to admit when mistakes are made by a GM

Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"
Gudbranson or McCann < Pearson
Sutter is still a decent asset.
I like Beagle. He stabilizes that 4th line and PK
Eriksson is obviously the worst signing. He gets an F there
Gagner? Gone
Delzotto? Gone
Other than the immovable object hes found ways to move out his fuck ups. Along with his work last summer goes exceptional drafting and development that is the envy of probably 3/4 of the league.
Come on Doyley...even you can see its time to climb aboard the jet black train

Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"
Whatever blows your beard back Boss. The fact that you think the Gudbranson and Eriksson moves among other blunders were good moves proves you’re either a troll or a retard.

Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"
I was always on the train. The fact somebof those guys are gone doesn’t excuse the poor moves. It’s laughable that people can’t admit the moves were badThe Brown Wizard wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2019 8:42 am Gudbranson or McCann < Pearson

True, Blob began crapping his drawers the moment it became clear the team was rebuilding.Topper wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2019 8:35 am From the beginning it was obvious to a few of us that all you had to do was look at prospect development time vs expiring contracts to see the plan laid out.

Butt some people can't handle a rebuild.
WITH EVERY MOVE MADE: "Benning is a fool"... "Elmer is moron"... "Ignatowski is an idiot"... blah blah blah...
Then, after a few years, when it appeared success was inevitable... Blob wanted to clamber on board.
But how to make everyone forget all that pants-pooping??
Blob: "Jimmy was an utter fool/moron/idiot until 2 years ago when he magically turned into a genius!!
Blob is saying, after completely wasting the first 3 years, Jimbro rebuilt this team from the ground up in 2 years.

Yeah no. Blob rightfully called out Elmer’s blunders that he was making during his first 2 1/2 seasons on the job. That said I’ve already said he had fine 2014/15 drafts right before the abortion of the 2016 draft. Blob chooses to judge each move independently much like Hargraves. Some people are not capable of doing this.
