I liked you better when you weren't a ref, you were allowed to speak more freely.

As for Desjardins, from a corporate perspective it's disappointing there's an obvious disconnect between the GM and the coach. They're obviously not on the same page and they obviously don't talk at this point. When you take issue with a corporate decision you discuss it within, not in the media.

That's my opinion.

He really is the same guy. I think with his job and the travel it is harder to nip things in the bud here. He logs on and it is 20 pages of name calling, stupid posts and annoying posters.

Who wouldn't love that job

I wouldn't expose Edler because he'd get claimed ahead of Sutter. He also only has 2 years left on his deal, instead of 4.

Also, he's had better seasons scoring than Sutter has.

Lots and lots of options on this team of who to get rid of

Well considering for those 200 PP minutes he probably had possession of the puck 5 minutes. He was also the only one who would play in front of the net while those other two sieves passed back and forth behind the net.

Again I will refer back to Boeser last nigh standing in the slot for most of the PP received one pass in the slot

Sutter played 130 PP minutes in Pittsburgh his last season there and scored 5 PP points.

Maybe you need to re-adjust your thinking.

To me he gets annoyed at people having strong opinions when that's what a discussion board is for. There's obviously going to be disagreement, we're just a bunch of blow-hearts sounding off on the team. Why so serious?

When he starts with homophobic slurs at the beginning of his post perhaps this isn't for you. After all, you're the one who's suppose to keep the discussions civil. I wouldn't care that people argued, what I'd care about is they did it in a respectful manner, ie: without homophobic slurs.

FYI....I'm not innocent, I cross the line on occasion, thus I'm not a ref.

We said the same thing about Bonino last year. His partners this week have been Shore and Goldobin . He is basically taking on the entire opponent other line by himself.

I will also say seven PP points is also a misleading number.

Boeser played on the PP last night and received one pass on a chance to score . He was in the slot the whole time.

Canucks have two puck hogs that are a cancer. Blaming anyone until they are gone is ridiculous.

Sutter looked a hell of a lot more dangerous last game with Boeser than he looked with the Sedins all year.

This team will be much better once the three Swedes are gone

I can't wait to see your response when JB resign them for 1 yr

I never get upset . We have known each other for years. I think of it as two guys in a bar. I do however remember Booners response to you a few weeks back.

I'm with ya there....the sooner they're gone the better. To me, Sutter is a non factor, when it comes to mentorship, he's a wet noodle. I saw more emotion from Biega last night than I've seen from Sutter all year.
- LeftCoaster

Biega missed his calling, he's been the best 4th liner we've had this year. He's fast, stronger, and scares the poop out of the D cause he finishes his checks and hits with purpose.

At the end of the day, it's a thankless job. I think Makita's a great guy, can't blame him.

I agree! But the way TL talks about them makes me nervous.

Yes I think I called him uneducated, which is hardly a blasphemous statement. I had no idea what his education level was. I was just bugging him about his opinion. Obviously it bothered him, unfortunately.

Lefty is correct Vantel, I shouldn't get ruffled by constant unrelenting posts or posters, I am expected to be held to a higher standard than everyone else, regardless if I like it or not.

Trevor needs to go. You can't have a president that loves his players. He should always be looking to upgrade.


Wally Buono told his teams it is my job to find your replacements so don't think about getting close to me.

I'd really like Paul Stewart's take on this debacle.

For sure it is, he cares, because he's a good man. I think you have to be somewhat heavy handed and not try to be everyone's friend (like Dozzer) when you do the job. I'm sure Dozzer's a nice guy too but he doesn't tolerate any kind of BS and he backs it up. Thus people don't usually get out of hand in their thread.

Don't kid yourself, Dozzer has his pals and the guys on the short list. Mods are human.
