You know what Babcock says when a young player is struggling, and I quote "I want him to play, I want him to fight thru it, I'm not gonna sit him"...end quote.

What does Desjardins says, "he's gotta prove to me he deserves more icetime" so he expects Virtanen to prove he can be an offensive threat playing 7 minutes a night with the likes of Baertschi, Dorsett, Burrows and Gaunce?

Why not? Craig was a former employee and Ralph has a lot of other things on the go but I think he would jump at a chance at this level again.

You could be right, but, I suspect you're wrong, Kruger is Chairperson of Southampton FC, that play in the English Premier League, but I can see why the draw of the Canucks would want him to give up that prestigious position.

Hitchcock will be available next season, word is he wants to get into management, him and Ferraro would be fun to watch in interviews - hire them both

If that was the meaning then his quote is meaningless for the Canucks you mentioned... and did not mention.

I mentioned Jake, I'm a big fan and wish they'd work with him more....that was the point.

Corrado is a 5th round pick, Jake is a 6th overall pick.

This just goes to show Willie is in way over his head. Any other coach in the league would be fired after this many shutout losses.

The defence looks decent (credit where its due) he improved that but the game is about getting goals to win. I think its unacceptable. In the summer I said WD will get 20 games and if he $hits the bed he will be gone. I would have pulled the plug on him already.

They need a goal in the last two minutes in Montreal so who does he put out there for a minute and a half shift....Dorsett

It called selective interpretation, This is what he said, but this is what he meant, and it only applies to this guy or that guy, BUT, not him. See look at me, a demi god of a coach because I'm quotable.
