Seems like the Isles have been "righting the ship" for like 20 years now !!
I hope they do defer, because they are going to suck again next year.

While I'm not a Yankee fan, I always loved the passion George Steinbrenner had. He cared about winning before anything else. If Charles and Garth cared anout winning and did what it took to win, the statement would be fine. Now they look like empty suits.

comparing leagues that have salary caps to those that dont really hurts an argument.

i know, wang spends to the cap floor...if there is no salary cap, that mentality might not be the same.

I think if we have a top 2 pick we use it.. Getting the Brothers Reinhart together cant be a bad thing or grabbing Ekblad as a future top pairing d-men is a no brainer. after those 2... some good players but I think the talent level dips & we pass on our pick to Buffalo.

depending on whats returned for vanek (IE getting a 1st) they could be in decent position to keep this years draft pick and trade it to the highest bidder

Unfortunately to bad things night result of this
1) cappy doesn't get fired b/c now his reason for losing post Olympics is that he is missing his star player.
2) snow doesn't trade vanek b/c we need some skill on top line and he doesn't want to upset the season ticket holders with isles losing.


Sad but both are possible.

Vukota u hit nail in head same guy complaining about ko getting snuffed is now upset the jt got hurt.

Let's face it. Season was blown. I think the statement we out 10 points out and making playoff push upsets season ticket holders.

if cappy is retained bc "they lost their star player" OR if vanek isnt traded, i will push cptjml out of the way to lead the fire-garth chants.

as for the 2nd bold...thats 100% a misquote by you.

Who really gives a shat if Snow says that? We all know hes going too but who cares. Any and every fan should know this team was out by December. If that is his reasoning it justifies him being fired even more. Proves hes completely incompetent along with every single person he hires. Prepare yourself for it bcs he will say it. The guy is a complete moron.

Yep. It was all over after they went 3-14-3 from Nov 5th to Dec 14th. That's embarrassing, yet nothing was changed.

Edit: two of those three wins were in a shoot out.

No idea how Cappy or one of his coaches were not fired? Do something. Do not sit and let the season fall apart.

Yep. Now we're hoping changes will be made for next year, but skeptical that anything will be done. It's absurd.

Yep but I feel we will have a better shot at seeing Sundstrom and Lee as well which I'm thinking might have stayed there? Strome was coming back whether Tavares got injured or not.

Barely a word is more accurate. Whatever was said had no emotion and "everything is OK" written all over it as well as endorsing Capuano. Ridiculous.

Don't we do this every year under the Snow regime? Same shat every year. Nothing is fixed.

Garth sure "activated" very quickly when JT got hurt. Losing game after game does not get a response.

Awesome. We need more of this for change to happen. Really stupid comments from him for multiple reasons. Happy she pointed out what and why.
