I know. I just said it for the ones who tell me about Holland's Cups. He always gets credit for the 1997 Cup even though he was assistant GM at the time.

Sounds like Bowman's cups when credit for Tallons drafting is what did it....
Ppl choose what they like & conveniently omit the real details.

Canucks r my team & JB gets some rein for awhile yet.
That said its 1-2yrs while prospects develop.
Saddled with a ton of NMC & NTC's & aging core he inherited.
Doesn't change overnight but the scrutiny is heavily on him now.

Why sign Ericsson to that outrageous UFA contract then?
To keep Sedin sisters company in misery?

Cannot justify the LE signing i agree.
One contract does not make or break the team though.

As for trash talking its the American way....
A little bit of knowledge breeds ignorance.

That's what we thought with the first bad contract, until it became a norm

As for the ignorance part... Sedins won precisely nothing

Back on topic...


Sakic has painted himself into a corner.
Poor goaltending has a been a problem.
Bad trades have gotten the AV's to this point.

Asking for too much doesn't fix the past mistakes.
Team is in total disarray & needs massive changes.
Idk if Sakic can handle that & isn't getting anywhere fast.
His job should be on the line.

Like my team he will face years of pain yet but something has to give soon.
It cannot continue on like this....

What is this norm u loosely guess at?

Well if u refer to cups yes.
What have u left out?
Cherry picking anyone can do.


Explain Frans Nielsen? Or why no free agent wants to go to the Wings?
Its such a wonderful city & destination point.

FYI I was a Wings fan during the days of the Original 6.
2 rounds to win a cup but that was eons ago.

Sakic has painted himself into a corner.
Not Really, he doesnt have to do anything with Duchene
Poor goaltending has a been a problem.
Yes, but Varly has finally gotten his surgery that he put off for the past 2 years and they have a full time goalie coach for the 1st time in a decade, could be a huge year for him
Bad trades have gotten the AV's to this point.
Yes and thats more to do with Roy than Sakic as Roy wanted to Win now and Sakic wanted to build the organization depth up (look up their 1st presser together when they accepted the jobs, they talked at length about that)...They went with Roy plan 1st, it didn't work

Asking for too much doesn't fix the past mistakes.
No one knows what they are asking for, its just bitter media speculation, so jury is still out since its all he said she said
Team is in total disarray & needs massive changes.
Team is in transition, they have rebuilt 50% of their roster from the start of last season with own youth, prospects, and smaller moves
Idk if Sakic can handle that & isn't getting anywhere fast.
Hes fine, don't worry about him
His job should be on the line.
Nope, he was dealt a bad hand with how the Roy era left things, he gets his shot to fix things

Like my team he will face years of pain yet but something has to give soon.

While his original post might be over the top negativity on Sakic, yours is a little rosey don't you think? Odds are the truth is somewhere between both your posts...

Benning has the green light. Look out NHL!

They have been in shock how he's made chicken salad out of chicken sh!t... especially from 2017 TDL through free agency.

There are plenty of HHOF who've won accolades but not Cups. So that's not zero.

[quote=kev1586]

perhaps, but my point is that its not all doom and gloom for the avs like how people are trying to paint them as some circus organization that doesnt have a hope in hell

Work to be done, but there seems to be a clear direction for the team going fwd, and moves are being set in place. Cautiously optimistic

its the poop or get off the pot sort of thing here.

Sakic should be fired look at what he has done to that roster...
Slowly overhauls it

Sakic should be fired look at what he traded ROR for
4 of the ROR pieces are under 21 and still coming, 3 potential on the roster next year

Sakic should be fired look at how much he is asking for Duchene
Wont take a futures package that he gets roasted on with the ROR trade and is holding firm

Right now its like no matter what he does people just like to say hes an idiot and should be fired....which is fine and dandy if you are just following the Fat Face Steve Dangles twitter following who pump out this stuff out weekly.

They still might be a lottery team next year but finally there is clear direction of who the coaching staff is, what the organization identity is going to be and its put in place. At least its a plan now

what the hell does this mean??

one day he'll wake up and be 50 and see that life has passed him by while he spent all his time defending Joe Sakic and then this sudden epiphany will turn into sadness, despair and regret and eventually anger. Anger will lead to hate and then he'll join the dark side.
