Howard asks Krueger again about playing Skinner with Eichel last year

Krueger: Were you happy with the results last year?"

Howard: "I'm not happy with the results this year. No offense Ralph, but you're probably not making the playoffs."

It's unbelievable to me. He won't even put him on their #1 PP. There is definitely an issue.

I dont know how to feel about Kreuger.

He seems okay, but also seems like a guy who sticks to his guns regardless if it is working or not.

Also a guy that you don't question his decisions, and he doesn't like when people do so.

the only good thing about that debate was the mexican proctor

Klobuchar started to cry, she's done


I just wish when Warren tells others how wrong they are and what they did in their past, one would come back and put her perfect self in her place with her past lies

Wait until someone calls her Pocahontas......

she may try to sweep that under the rug like she is keeping very quiet about big donations in previous runs for Senate but goes after Pete because he has some big donors

I don't like his 11/7 and the way he uses his lineup. But I'm convinced he'll be back next year as HC.

That's a great mind set to have when things are generally working well.

In the case of Skinner, he needs to be more "open minded" in getting him going, like putting him on the 1st line to get him going.

The thing I don't understand is how everyone who doesn't like or whom criticizes Trump, is attacked with imagery of the opposition and "dirt" on opposing candidates, as if that automatically qualifies me as a fan of the other party's nominee?

All of them are creeps, all of them are liars, all of them live better than us and don't give a hoot about us, they are gross and dirty people with gross and dirty pasts, and I hope all of them choke endlessly on their dinner tonight.

A bunch of old, out of touch PEOPLE; It doesn't matter if they're white or men, they don't want us to have anything nice and they keep people brainwashed into believing in them and the corrupt system, and everyone knows it's corrupt yet so many continue to take part in the facade...

Ya'll just want to be a part of something.

Another GM coming in may change that but, how many more times do you do this ? the cycle just keeps getting worse. 5 Head coaches since Lindy I think, 2 GM's, if Botterill makes moves who the hell know's what will happen. Another GM comes in and starts all over again because of Murray being told to "speed this up" and then Botterill wanting to "build" unlike the guy he learned from in Pittsburgh who only care about the " now " and " this year." This whole thing is pretty sad.

Agreed.

If there isn't an issue, then that scenario begs the question why? Did Kreuger get Skinner, Eichel and the rest of the team to buy into this scenario in order to keep crap away from the media?

If there is an issue, someone from the top has to put a stop to it or Kreuger is getting fired sooner than later because Skinner is going nowhere.

Either way, someone NOT name Harrington (not sure why anyone would talk to him) should dig into this.

I have not been a proponent of a PoHO but someone needs to babysit this mess and their name is NOT Pegula.

Terry/Kim - write the checks and get out of the way.

Of course, I could be wrong on it all. I am not on the inside and I am wrong about a ton.

Yep. But he'll be back next year behind the bench and his lineup management and 11/7 will continue.

Ya know 89 in my view I think Botts and Ralph will be back next year. I doubt if Pegula goes through this again. What he should do and won't is hire a President of Hockey Ops.
BINGO!

I get the sense Krueger doesn't like Skinner for the same reasons Brind'amour didn't like Skinner.

Not sure why Ralph plays Skinner the way he does and gives Dahlin the ice time he does or scratches Miller. Ralph sold the players on him last summer when he was hired. Could he be a poor judge of the talent he has, how to use it and how to put together a lineup? Or is he just a good salesman who sold Botts on this opportunity?

Pegula will look even more like a fool if he fires both after the season, I've said it a couple times now, we may see Risto moved now. Botterill has tuned down multiple trades on multiple occasions, do you pay Risto more after 2 years he has left because he's gonna get more or do you give Montour Risto's 5 mill a year. I'm a huge supporter of Risto but I was told it may happen this time. IMO, can't bring in another Winger without that 2nd line center. Gotta sell to buy.
