Congrats.....you hung around until someone intelligent enough could put together an legitimate answer to my question.

Missing the playoffs and finishing 30, 30, 29 are two completely different things....

No poop sherlock. But you said they have just plain sucked/been rebuilding since the day after game 7 of the puck finals. You said they just plain sucked. Now it is they only just plain sucked finishing where they did the last 3 seasons, so now your are saying they have only been rebuilding the last 3 seasons because clearly using your logic, missing the playoffs by only a couple of W's, is not rebuilding.

Holy smokes.....you said they are done rebuilding when they make or fall just short of making the playoffs, hence why (according to your theory) anything not close to making the playoffs is rebuilding.

i laughed when they traded him, trying to hold out for Datsyuk money when we already offered him more than he was worth...

Here Ill say it again.
"pretty much over then the team improves in the standings by a huge jump (at least 10 places) are close to or maybe even squeak into the playoffs, and they show that their core of young players is ready to lead the team."

Since that was a complete sentence, it means I included all of those things as signaling the end of the rebuild. Not just one. Try reading things properly and not taking them out of context just to bash the team. I didn't think it was that difficult to understand. Should I use point form with a pretty little bulleted list next time???

Just because someone finally said it in such a simple way that your small mind could actually comprehend it doesn't mean it hasn't been said before. I said that our team started rebuilding 2.5 years ago with drafting Hall, then continued to say that we are waiting to see what prospects we have to play what roles on our team, who stays who goes, and after this shortened season we would be in a better position to know where we sit with prospects and veteran players, and start to make trades to fill holes in our roster, and that we were 2-3 years away from competing....

i'm sorry i didn't lay it out in such a simple way that you could actually understand, i sometimes forget that when dealing with the mentally challenged you have to talk very slow and explain it in a way that a 4 year old can comprehend.. next time i post in this thread i will try and explain it in the most simple way i can so there's a slight chance you might actually be able to understand.

The NHL forced Suter and Parise to go to Minny, they are not going to start suspending guys when they are out of the playoffs.

That's more like it

To change this ridiculous subject, what's your take on Suter so far. Looks like he's missing Weber a little. I guess who wouldn't right?
- whipper334

Yeah, he's starting to look the part a bit more as of late. He's just not a flashy dynamic type of player. He's a solid defensive defensman. I think Weber was missing Suter a bit as well until recently. Up until like a week ago Weber only had 2 points, Suter had points in like 6 straight games, he leads the Wild D and is 3rd overall with 11 points .

I think it's going to work out fine. Obviously over paid, but it is what it is. Guy logs some serious ice time though, nearly averaging 30 minutes a game.

nicely done.

Colin, this post just showed up as a news feed item on my little neighbourhood pub's TV trivia/news/funny videos thing...

I looked up and saw your name and twitter hashtag, and almost choked on a chicken wing... for a second i thought you'd become an actual journalist!!!

As much as you might dislike him he is correct. They should've started sooner, but they didn't.

You guys are alright. This is my second home now.

Omg this is freaking hilarious. Hey remember when you came to troll the Oilers thread when they lost to the Hawks in overtime Monday night? How did it feel to watch your team blow the game with 4 minutes left and lose in overtime? Apples, how do you like them???
- ruttager17

I don't give a shi!t. You guys were losing your minds over there, trade everyone, fire the rest. It is because most of you, not all Lahey, most think you should be a playoff team and competing for the cup, yet you are closer to NY Islanders west than a playoff team.

You are in denial my friend
