don't understand why he still insists that Gionta is a second liner.

guess so. just think it's a waste not to put a guy like Vanek with a more talented winger opposite him. i would like to see Galchenyuk but i don't think Therrien is deviate from his approach at all.

I can't stand seeing Gionta getting so much ice time.

he's an honest player but yeah, he's a bottom-6 guy at this point. would love to see Galchenyuk's role with this team grow.

I don't get why this isn't obvious. It's just ridiculous to put Vanek with those two.

Adam, please let me know who is the best bet in the 6-8 draft range. Thanks.

Perlini, McCann, Ritchie.

If the team keeps losing, he will change his lines.

I think it is...some people really live for this, and it's the only validation they get in life...

(frank), I was playing in a league against a guy who played pro hockey in Europe after the whole OHL and getting drafted in the NHL (never making it, nor to the AHL)...and here he was, playing div 5 or 6 of 12 men's beer league...racking up 6 pts a game and being a jerk about it... That's what he lives for... he's got nothing else going for him anymore.

Trade Vanek!

well he's a defence first coach and he will sacrifice offence for defence to a large degree. ultimately if we win i don't care but at the same time, we have 20 game of Thomas Vanek and i don't think we should be wasting several games to see if he jives on what is basically a checking line.

It's a recurring complaint that MT juggles his lines too much...watch this be the one time that he sticks to a given line combo...LOL.

Oh yes. We all said the same thing. Does anybody tell him? "Psst, M. Therrien you (frank)ing stubborn mule. Put Vanek with other guys. Thanks.".

That's what we are all saying. You just chose to type the whole thing out.

I agree, which is why I now wear one...but others don't see it that way, or have other priorities...or are just clueless...but that's their choice, I let them be.

You're misunderstanding. I don't give a poop what they do. I'm just saying it's stupid not to.

Sometimes though, I get the feeling he's trying to fix what isn't broken...and sticking with what doesn't work for too long...
