Return of "The hardest working team in hockey"

[apuszczalowski]

Only thing I am worried is the young players improve too much and the hard work ends up pushing us out of the top 3 picks in the draft...

Yeah, cause the only way to succeed in the league is to draft in the top spot. If it comes down to it and they don't get one of those coveted top 3 spots in the draft, they should have a GM that's capable of being able to use some of the current prospects and collection of picks to move up and maybe get one of those top 3 picks, and we won't have to continue watching the embarrassment this season has been to get the top pick

I tend to agree. I think Stafford stands a better chance under Nolan than Hodgson. I think Stafford is the victim of the worst of the Lindy years, and being in the Regier-era atmosphere his entire career. He, essentially, has been led astray, and I think his rebellious, rock-n-roll attitude COULD warm up to Nolan's style.

 

I think Girgs is similar to an un-tainted Stafford, somewhat rebellious, "rock-n-roll", but untarnished yet and way more intense. I think Girgs will love Nolan.

 

I think Hodgson ultimately doesn't survive; I think he'll complain to the media about Nolan, but he'll be perhaps the only player on the roster this year who does.

 

Moulson will probably do okay, I think his future depends on the rest of his line.

 

Ennis will like Nolan, I think, and will benefit from Nolan's direction.

 

I think Leino will probably not survive. His nature is to be contradictory, and he'll pretty much conflict with Nolan.

 

I see Foligno being neutral-ish. I think he may like Nolan's game, but won't like his style so much. Don't know why, but that's my gut reaction since I'm thinking about it. Foligno will be a good soldier, though, and probably do well under Nolan.

 

Ott, Ott, hmmm, I think Nolan might not think much of Ott at the beginning, but they may grow on each other. I think Nolan will remind Ott of his father and he'll quickly grow to like Nolan, which will lead to the work, which will lead to Nolan warming up to Ott.

 

This made me really laugh. I like the psych 101 evaluation of these people whose personalities you know so well. I honestly can't tell if this was a joke or idiocy in its purest form

 

Pure idiocy.

 

I think these two replies are bush.

Guy gives an honest opinion and gets called an idiot. Makes guys give up on message boards. Do really think his opinions are that wrong? I don't. I even agree with some of his thoughts. This is a message board to express your opinions no?

But then, I'm an idiot I suppose. No no. You don't have to say it. I'll spare you the trouble.

Well, it should be pointed out that the 2nd reply was Sizzle's, who also posted the original post.

 

But I agree with you on the rest.
