Years from now, when I huddle around a spreadsheet to watch a hockey game with my grandkids, I'll tell my kids about the great Sir Kyle Dubas, and how he led the Toronto Maple Leafs to seven consecutive Corsi Cups.

been to all of those...

but I would put

Denmark, Sweden and Norway at the top of the list...
followed by the middle east

perhaps that is just my perspective...

most beautiful female I have ever seen was 1/2 Italian and 1/2 Egyptian...

... funny how no one ever mentions Canada

Chelios threatened Bettman's family due to a labor dispute - really want to defend that guy?

I'm not defending him at all.. Point is, not liking someone doesn't make you less 'classy'

insufficient proof...

you need an envelope which has been sent to Finland, if that even exists and a post mark of the return.

there are all kinds of tools to make up pictures like you just posted.

besides, that picture looks like Aarhuus Denmark

Ok

So even if you are dead set on this being true....Do you not want to get a coach that can be successful with these types of people?

I don't agree with you to the extreme you are taking it but I do believe players respond better to a different coaching style these days than guys like Babs.

- Santo_44


Uh, did you follow the conversation leading to my post.

Also, I have been very clear that I felt Babcock needed to go, but that this was certainly not *all* his fault.

The original point raised was that, historically, teams have played and succeeded playing for coaches that were less than warm and fuzzy.

My point was that players have changed since then, AND, they can afford to not deal with that crap because they make so much money in their careers now.

now I just have to get my thousands of snowflake analysts to come up with a somewhat substantiated business model analysis that justifies the 1st class ticket...

Great hockey country.

My favourite player growing up was Wolf "The Dentist" Stansson.

It was obvious and it was awful. It was also in the past. What matters NOW is how he performs NOW and in the future.

Personally, and certainly depending on the nature of the infraction, I don't think it's helpful to hold onto grudges. This was lazy and short-sighted by Nylander - and hopefully simply a sign of immaturity and frustration with the negotiations. We're not in his head, but staying mad at the guy for it isn't going to help anyone or anything.

Keeping it in the back of your mind as a questionable character trait is fully acceptable, though.

- Monkeypunk


I'm going to go against the grain a little bit with this (shocking, I know)

I can forgive Nylander for not pushing himself until he had a contract. I don't think I would do anything to risk injury either? I dunno. Do players have insurance for all those future earnings?
