I'm not losing all hope until I can see this for a good few games, but man not a lot of depth there.

Only truly elite goalies can break into the league before the age of 24 and become legitimate stars. Hell even Tuukka wasn't given the reigns full time until he was 25 years old. I really liked the way he was nursed into an eventual starter role playing behind Thomas. Hopefully they can nurture Subban behind Rask the same way but I'm much more sceptical this time around.

I get it but Subban isn't/hasn't performed well consistently at the AHL level. He hasn't earned a shot to try and break in nor has he risen to the chances he has been given.

Keep in mind Hamill, Caron, Koko, and Spooner were given a bazillion chances so I doubt Subban will be denied any less..

Hayes should be out. Hasn't had a point in 22 games (could be wrong on that number). Has more turnovers than points.

Seriously. People will call you a fair weather fan and question how loyal you are, but what other reaction should we have? WE've all seen this story before and know which road this season is headed down. What reason do we have to believe they are going to be successful this season? This team has been unable to string together more than two good games in a row for the passed two years.

So sick of the post-game comments from the players as well, just a broken record with no effort or thought put into it. I wish someone would step up and tear these guys a new one

Not to mention you need goals...and the (frank)ing 4th line was out there a lot.

backes to miss at least a couple games.

(frank)ing Chiarelli. He might owe his entire aura as a capable GM to Tim Thomas.

There is one god damn line on this team and when they are nowhere to be found there is nothing else except Acciari, who is not meant to be relied on for scoring in any capacity. Subban sucks ass. Zane needs to start and everyone on the team needs to wtfu and play in front of whoever they do decide to start. I can't believe I even had to sit through that game last night, let alone pay for it. Absolute joke. Nothing pisses me off more than a lack of effort, which is why this team has driven me crazy the last 2+ seasons. It's time to clear out everyone but Bergeron and Pasta.

Then draft day Don can go pick a new team at the draft. I'm sure that will work out well.

McIntyre confirmed starter for tonight.

"we have to play harder"
"we have to compete"
"we have to play a full 60 minutes"
"we have to stay out of the box"
"we have to play better in our own end"
"we have to respect the system"

The list goes on...
- TylerSeguin19

What about better "more talented hockey players"? CJ needs to go along with his awful system. The NHL has changed and it left the Bruins & their way of play in the history books. They don't have the talent to execute it.

Clearing out everyone meant everyone. Starting with Sweeney and Neely so they can't mess the whole thing up.

Not being 100% serious, just friggin annoyed.

Jeff Gorton built the foundation that led to your success under Chiarelli.

Right there with ya man. But if the front office got cleared out I wouldnt complain.



But until then, I guess its just "business as usual"

As long as walking corpse, Jeremy Jacobs, keeps saying "I expect a deep playoff run" this is going nowhere.

Ownership is not committed to building a team the right way. So we're Calgary 2009-2013.

This.

So much drama... nobody ever said you're not real fans...

My issue is they have barely even had their full lineup out there, they're six games into the season, and you're already making it sound like we're destined for 28th place. Bergeron/McQuaid were out for the first few... Backes/Rask/Khudobin/Miller/Vatrano are all out now... Krejci and Krug both coming off surgeries, and weren't even supposed to be back in time for the start of the season. Heinen/Carlo/O'Gara are seeing their first NHL action.

That's all I'm saying is give it some time... you come in here with your sky is falling type comments, that there's nothing good about the team, and that everything sucks. The horse isn't even dead yet, but you've already buried it, and yet somehow you're still trying to kick it. Would it really kill you to accept some losses and let the team grow? They were never going to go 82-0 you know. Just relax.
