Michael Pachla: Matt's last chance?

First from the west coast.

Good write up as usual. Hopefully Moulson takes advantage of this opportunity but my hopes are not high. I would like to see a guy like EROD or CJ Smith get a real crack.

Regarding Bogo, 80% chance he tweaks his groin during practice or the pre-game skate later in the week. He'll be gone for another 2 months.

Interesting fact, between Bogo and Moulson, there is $10 million worth of salary that has not produced a single thing this year so far.

Bolts win 5 to 2 tonight. Risto and Kane.

Turd!!!

6-1 Bolts.
Eichel with 19 seconds left from his own faceoff circle...just trying to get pucks on net.
Pommer 3rd man in between Moulson and Stammer

Can't do it imo. The fans have lost the stomach for rebuilding. If there isn't significant progress next year, it's going to get 2014 Edmonton ugly at the KBC

Who cares what the fans think it’s about long term success

I would rather suck for 2 more rebuild right and become the blue jackets or Lightning then be just average and a wildcard team for foreseeable future


Let the poop Burn down to the ground

Hatty attempt
Edit: GERBE, DAMN IT

I'd rather be a wild card next year. I'm sick of crap teams. I'd rather get smoked in 4 games in the playoffs next year than watch another season of this garbage.

We'll, see that is where a business thinks differently than a fan...especially a non-paying fan.

I happen to be in the same camp as you, burn it with a complete rebuild...
Next year all about:
- get rid of all the boat anchors (Moulson, Bogo, Gorges, Okposso, Girgensons, Larsson, etc)
- let the younger of the kids develop in Rochester (Mittlestadt, Pu, Asplund, etc.)
- bring up the older of the Kids to play meaningful minutes (Bailey, Baptiste, eRod, Guhle maybe)
- Plug holes with incentive laden 1 year deals

2019 - is the year that 2016 should have been with turning the ship around

Im open to anyone other than Eichel being moved.

I'm tired of ROR saying he played terrible needs to be better. He has said that about 10 times now dating back to last year.

It's getting old.

Okposo with a terrible need to be moved contract.

Kane wont be here next year, from all the looks of it.

Team is in 29th place.

Its garbage now, start over.

I think most fans want exactly that, and for the most part we could, and should, be starting that today.

But I don't have the stomach to watch them trade ROR, Okposo, Reinhart, Risto, McCabe and Kane away for futures. Moving 1 or two of those pieces for an impact now player would be fine by me. Opinions may vary on those players, but trading any one of them makes us worse in the short term. I'm sick of that

I'd rather be a wild card next year. I'm sick of crap teams. I'd rather get smoked in 4 games in the playoffs next year than watch another season of this garbage.

Ew don’t ever say that again



I want Championships not wild cards

He has 16 points in 24 games, with Pouliot (a 3rd liner) and Okposo who has suddenly - and thankfully - come to life. He's doing fine, and his attitude is refreshing. You should read Moulson's comments today. He's talking about how he needs confidence and "hopefully" he can score a goal. ROR is doing pretty well for a second line center with underachieving wingers.

If we do fire sale 2.0, I am out

I used to look forward to watching the games. i'll probably have it on while I decorate for Christmas. I probably won't hear our goal song. i'll probably hear Ray say accrosst. i'll definitely be drinking.

It’s the only way we will be good and contender for the future

I know everyone’s going to hate it but they (frank)ed up the rebuild and they got to do a new one

You just don’t keep building a structure when it’s off balanced it’s going to fall down you have to start over

It's off balance because the bottom 6 is awful.

If Pouliot and Okposo were on the 3rd line, and the 4th line had actual NHL players, and if we had defense worth paying to see, this is a marginal playoff team.

Add, don't subtract

We're done with that phase. There's no more moves made for the future of the franchise. All moves made now need to be made for next year. Hold on to the draft picks and hit on them

My name is Matt.

This is my last chance?

oh man...

They aren't, don't worry.

Jordan Nolan 1.22 pts per 60; Sam 1.13 pts per 60 even strength pts.
