Imagine that, a former poster of this site is now up in the management team for an NHL team.
|
One of the very first posters I clashed with...I think to the point where I got a warning from you about it. He was suggesting Brodeur was over-rated, and Conklin was better than him...as someone who never was a Conklin fan, I argued pretty hard against this take.
Of course, I may have forgotten some of my worse takes from that era...

Very cool that a former poster here has a nhl job.
But with that take, WOW!
Brodeur overrated and Conklin better? Was he a Darnell Nurse fan in his time here lol
|
I remember it as more of an abstract argument than simply 'Conklin is better'. Conklin became something of a whipping boy during the prologue to the decade of darkness. He wasn't the reason the team was getting obviously worse in the early years of Lowe and MacTavish, but he was an easy person to blame as the team moved on from a mentally defeated Tommy Salo without a plan. Hindsight being 20/20 I now just think he had more talent than we realized and he was simply mismanaged by a woefully inept front office and coach.
Still, I like to propose a trade: Oilfans sends their heartfelt congratulations and slightly fewer bad vibes because of '06 and he Hurricanes send us some contract work.
