It's possible that Big Vinny may not be a real NHL defenceman.
|
He isn't. But he's the best WE got.

I’ve no doubt Vinny is giving us everything he’s got. But his skating is limited. And him not being good enough is a management problem as the GM can’t get a player better than him on the roster to push him out of the top 6/7.

If we ever punish Bouch properly and sit him out a game we could have a chance to know for sure!

Think I’m done for a while. This is seriously not fun to dwell on all the long term problems that are not improving. And I’m not paid to fix the team.

I like watching hockey so I'm still watching every game. I am years into not having much emotional reaction. Outside of the playoffs or late in a close game it's pretty rare that a goal (for or against) elicits much reaction from me.
It is the same reason I don't complain about reffing, is what it is and I have come to expect disappointment,
Once again I am enjoying some of the insight from Mayers.

I feel like if McLeod went through the middle, reporters would be around his stall after the game needing him to go through the moment.

It’s like the Oilers are 2022/23 Huberdeau.

I think it goes without saying, they really need to make sure they lock down Dustin Schwartz. 5 year deal at double the dollars, at least!

I wonder if we start trying to hire McDavid's dad or brother into management next.

OHL teammate - check
Player Agent into the organization - check
Junior coach - check

Dave Gagner (as GM for when Holland retires end of season) from the Orr hockey group is out there with "connections" with the team (Jackson / Sam), and McDavid (former agency).

Well, Knoblauch had a good run. Who’s next?

I would still love to see Jacques Lemaire coach our team. Just full commitment to a trap might be the only thing this team could do.
