The GM job isn't to get the players to player fundamental hockey at a level attributable to an NHL team. There are worse assembled teams doing better.

You are correct. But the GM did assemble the team and hired the current coach.

Bingo. Also, the GM was handicapped by owner mandate (that would be signing Bryz).

Any chance the Flyers were next to you?

Yea they drank the roofies that were meant for me too

Not with his team heading into the OHL playoffs.

No, you see the 17th is St Patrick's Day and, well, Greg Ireland's last name...

Oh, forget it.

Who has this team performing like the 2006-07 and 2007-08 Hurricanes.

the Flyers are playing better here in the 2nd ... but it's only because the Bruins are bored.

We may want to start packing the coach's bags now but the seeds to the current situation were sown in July. The GM didn't have a good strategy without Weber. Perhaps it was a conscious decision not to do anything and in the meantime get out from under some contracts, concentrate on 2013 picks and limp along while the young players get more experience. The next logical move is to be a seller at the deadline. I'm hoping that the brain trust are taking the long view with their plan.

This makes sense, but the GM grossly overpaid Timonen for next season. 6 million for a guy who looks cooked to me.

Meh. Address the D a la Detroit and anyone can look good.

EDIT: Of course, Pronger's injury is the worst wrench in the gears.

Yup. The GM has to take blame also. This is his guy behind the bench.

I sware every shot Gagne tries is blocked or wide.

It wasn't a mistake to hire Lavy. It just would be a mistake to continue letting him coach since it is evident he's not getting it done at this point with this group.

Not saying he doesn't, but the GM has shown *he* can adjust. Not so much for the coach - and I was in his corner until this past week.

seriously ... it's like they're beating us with one hand tied behind they're backs.

If we score we're just gonna piss them off.

Not sure why you even bothered there. It is OB, after all.

Really never thought of it but any chance both gm and coach go?

Exactly. Can't have every player that's tuned him out skating with these:
