Um yeah, about Jack being injured...

Adams is going to do nothing this offseason because he is deluded enough to believe in magic growth theory. This team has holes and a one dimensional prospect pool. A smart GM would use the surplus of skilled forward prospects to fill these holes but that's not happening. A smart coach would knock the pond hockey crap off after seeing how everyone around the league has gotten wise to it and try to instill some sort of defensive system and responsibility into his players but that's not happening.

It's almost as if being the worst organization in hockey history leads to destroying your fanbase because you lost an entire generation of fans who don't want to root for a loser.

He couldn't give a flying *****, the gridball team is all that matters.

At least we aren't Purdue.

If our coaching staff had any clue on implementing a defensive scheme that wouldn't get a high school coach laughed out of the room the talent is clearly there. If you switched coaches and put Torts behind the bench next year we would make the playoffs.

This team is never making the playoffs under this current coaching staff. They have no clue what to do when their one trick pony system gets blown up.

Particularly after we got the late PP and you had to know the officials would have it in their mind to make an even up call.

It drives me crazy. I wonder if it's like the nutty soccer strategy where guys hold onto the ball in their own end to draw the opposing player to close in that seems to backfire horribly in just about every game? It almost has to be a coaching strategy because your first, second and third priorities when you have the puck in your own end is to get it out of your own end.

Look at our remaining schedule (particularly playing 6 of the last 8 on the road), we couldn't afford to piss away a point tonight. And we aren't just competing with the Isles for that last spot.

He's been great this season but on a PP late in a must win game HE POPPED AN OPPOSING PLAYER IN THE FACE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE REFEREE. You just can't do something like that, it cost us the game.

He is, but he decided to pop a guy on the PP RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE REFEREE.

Hope it was worth it to Tuch being a stupid petulant brat and costing us the game and probably our season.

The irony is that he did a great job on the 3 forced traded (Jack, Sam, Risto) so he does seem to have the acumen to make good deals.

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Feast on the Leafs!!!

That stupid leprechaun eats his wings with ranch dressing.

I'm not a gambler but if you are a money line bet on a rags win is just about the safest bet it is possible to make. I doubt this team wins more than 5 the rest of the season, they are beyond cooked.

Hockey executives and scouts are the dumbest and most incompetent in all of pro sports. They lack progressive thought the way Dracula lacks a suntan.

Here's some perspective: If the team goes 5-13 to close out the season (a very real possibility looking at the schedule) we would finish the season with a whopping 3 more points than the previous season.

This point cannot be emphasized enough. They did this exact same thing with Jack riding him straight into the ground and apparently haven't learned anything.
