Trudeau is telling his employees they can no longer say Mr, Mrs, Miss or Ms. Too gender specific. Might offend someone. Also no more mankind. Thats apparently offensive to females. We've got to go with humankind now. What an Idiot.
Not seeing much urgency from the players. Phil is his usual unanimated self behind the bench. Correlation ? Anyways it might be 5 or 6 nothing before this is over and I'm not sure I got it in me to continue.
My take is that there was likely hours upon hours of video and scouting reports and info from colleagues available that JBot could have and in all likelihood did go to for the word on this guy. It was out there. Hell we knew it from what amateurs were saying on the Habs board. And for some reason he disregarded the professional info he was given and signed this guy. You've got to swing for the fences sometimes but do it based on sound advise. Methinks at that point he must have been desperate to make a move.
Yes thats a good take. Pretty much how it played out. Only thing I'll add is we as fans have had no input so can't blame us whether we agreed with starting over or not.
Look at the Canucks. They've lost something like 18 out of their last 21 and they aren't officially tanking. They didn't have a big selloff. They didn't burn it to the ground. They actually went into the season thinking they could compete. They've had some injuries but we lead them in that catagory. They'z just plain bad. And the rookie coach is still coachin. But their talk radio hosts and fans are calling it a tank. Its not a tank and neither is ours. At least this year. This for us is just remnants of the tank. We'z just plain bad.
There have been a few over the years. Dom comes to mind. The return for him sucked as well. Ray Sheppard had potential when we gave him away but he prolly couldn't have been considered a can't miss at that point.
He's still playing for that next contract. Once he's paid watch him tail off like he did here the last 20-25 games.
Still think the return will never amount to what we let go.
