I'm actually glad we passed on Tkachuk and went with OJ.

Watched them both closely at Mem Cup and thought OJ was the way to go.

Plus Tkachuk seems like quite a tool not sure we want more of that Burrows/Kesler crap on the team now that we are rid of it.

Burrows is a top 5 Canuck for me. We have too many polite nice guys

Looks like JB's staying, maybe his boss goes?

I think Jim will stay but will he be GM?

Ring of honor maybe. Guy was clutch and loved the uniform more than most.

Oh I agree we need to get tougher and while I appreciate what Burrows accomplished here, I do believe we don't need to have that Kesler/Burrows stigma attached to the team again. Plenty of ways to play tough hockey without having to act like idiots out there.

Good job Newell

I legit one, one into an empty net and one on a penalty shot with 12 seconds left which shouldn't have been, marky didn't even move and nodded at the ref

Bertuzzi....now there's man, he never bit anyone

Its what i hated most about him and kesler. Hair pulling. Eye gouging, whining on and off the ice. I get they had roles but man was that poop tiresome to see. Burrows was an impactful player when he wasnt up to his antics, not sure what compelled him to act like that

True he only sucker punched someone and ended his career

I love the fact they were picks to play against, just the biting and pulling hair were

Kesler and burrows didnt need the antics. They were both great players for us without them. Kesler, as much as i dislike him, is a phenomenal 2C in this league

The league had a lot of those types back then Avery Laperierre Lemuix . Look at players like Marchand how he has mostly changed.

Well that penalty shot was one of the worst calls I have ever seen, no one touched him and he had a clean shot, the panel after hours were dumbfounded on that. like rubbing salt into a wound.

Changes probably won't be made until we hit rock bottom
