But Dahlin and probably Jokiharu would look like NHLers. Eichel, Hall, Oloffson, Skinner, and Staal would probably have joined Reinhart and Cozens at being productive. They would be playing a system in a manner that would not remind me of a 1995-era video game. We would not be hating on Lindy like this.

I am hoping that if they have enough trouble getting purchases and word gets out -- even if the sell all the tickets -- then they might be coerced into acting.

Take this as you will. Based on what others told me, this is false. According to two sources, Lindy Ruff would have taken the job without a second thought.

NO! Don't ruin him! Wait for RK to go.

Thank you for your response. If we assume that your evaluation of the systems is correct, then it is a proper inference that RK wanted Taylor gone because he basically disproves RK's ideas.

I was wondering why he is not as good 5-on-5 on the big club. What is different between his play in Rochester versus in Buffalo?

For some specificity: they appear to be as unfathomably stupid about hockey as they are brilliant about the business of hydraulic fracturing. Why is that more depressing than I intended it?

Your comment about the turkey of the trade was just ducky.

Key word is "seriously."

I really, really want to see this team with a real coach before we moved anyone. Otherwise, we are in a classic "sell low" situation. We can't get rid of RK fast enough for me. He's passing Ron Rolston bad to Hank Bullough bad.

You know it: These guys are bad -- scary bad. Followed by this coach, this franchise, these owners, etc. Then clueless, sloppy, brain dead, etc. It's almost too easy.

Ah. That's better.

This ownership is clueless -- scary clueless. It's like they are trying to run for Upper Class Twit of the Year. I shall omit the video because it will run afoul of the standards of this board.

GMTM proved that losing was not only acceptable, but encouraged in this organisation. Many of us fans encouraged it. Why would you expect KA and RK to be held to a different standard? If you were for the tank, then you were OK with this potential eventuality.

I was wrong about RK being gone by today.

Remember when Darcy was canned? People did not have a rumour about it happening until *that morning*. I do not expect a leak before a new hire -- if there is one.

We wish.

^would^do

The Pegulas waited a couple of games for Rolston to win a game before firing him and Darcy. I hope that the team knows and is trying to send him off on a positive note.

I would laugh if Samson learns some centre and our centre spine next year goes Eichel-Reinhart-Cozens.

Of the later ones, I think of Bob Sweeney and Danny Paille.

You are supposed to jerk your knee after the doctor's hammer hits your knee. 😉

Or GMJB trading for Sobotka. Or Sobotka getting the 4th most minutes under Housley until his black hole of suck became blindingly obvious.

Oh, look. Skinner moved up the line-up.

I hate to agree. If we don't start righting the ship soon, we will be back near the start of a rebuild. We need a new, qualified, respected, and effective coach in the worst way.
