I think dominate is a stretch. It may feel like domination but basically its a game he shows up in. My Rag Fan Buds say this guy drives them crazy !!!

Nah when Kreider is on his game he is literally dominant

But again it'll happen like 3 or 4 times a year including the playoffs

I was responding to a guy who was talking about trading away Brock Nelson and Strome in a deal. .. that would be trading away talent. Not an exaggeration at all...


I agree on the Coach.. have for quite a while.

If either of them are part of a trade for Hall you do it without even thinking about it.

You have to trade some of these guys aren't going to pan out. I know you're (frank)ing around but you can't keep holding onto these kids especially with what we've seen from some of them. Maybe they'll flourish somewhere else with a different couch wouldn't exactly be shocking hence why I want Snow gone. One of many reasons. Another reason is his reluctance to take a chance and make a deal. This team needs change the culture is skewed. Teams that even lack talent show up in the playoffs. This team was listless for most of its "run". Somehow they beat the panthers while putting a mostly half arsed effort through out the series thanks in part and to a large degree because of Greiss. Staying status quo is saying you're OK with more of the same expecting things to change is borderline nuts.

The old we made it to ot twice argument is already making its rounds which was almost as predictable as this team not showing up for an elimination game. Draft picks and shiny young players that don't respond to your coach are OK for teams that don't consider themselves contenders. If we're not in the contender category yet after more than a decade with Snow as GM it's time for change. If he cant make drastic and effective changes to this line up to fill obvious holes and cut ties with aging, middling players who do not perform in the playoffs and replace them with adequate players than don't be shocked to see the same garbage next season.

Edit: this was a horribly written post I'm too lazy to fix it so (frank) off

Cpt, me thinks there's a change coming. Don't know if it will be immediate but once these new owners have the majority I'm confident they will start to run this organization like a real NHL team.

PS. You drinking? How the hell can you let a post like that out

Which is why I think Snow re-ups Capuano before July 1. 3 years. Book it.

He is the heart and soul of this team and if he is gone they will all be worse for it... period. I have watched very talented teams with zero toughness Stink in this league b/c they were intimidated. Martin is worth A LOT more than 2 mill a year. What he brings is FAR better than a Bailey at his number.
- niteislander


Id rather overpay Matt Martin for what he brings with his game over 26 goal scorer B nelson, 30 pt per season J Bailey- BUST STROME , Tiny Prince, etc. Hell who earned their paycheck this year? Lee at 3.75 mil for 15 goals and no hits- Or Martin. In the playoff loses, MARTIN was the only foward winning the race to the puck in the offensive zone consistantly. Maybe if cappy let JT center that line in crunch time, things may have different. In game 3, If cappy calls time out at 1 min to playin regulation, and put The 4th line back out- This series is still going.

That was Wangs final (frank) you to everyone was giving up majority ownership July first. All of this was planned. I hope it blows up in the (frank)erz face and they fire Snow on July 2nd. I'll go to their offices and film of these idiots packing their bags.

I agree with most of this post minus the strome part. I think we see a bounce back season if we get a new coach.

I had a similar point on the other thread and chief mentioned the new season technically 'starts' on July 1. I'm fine with a new GM starting on July 1 or 2. Probably will sign better players than Garth has signed.
