That's where I'm at right now. Sucks to lose someone with that potential.

MDW's boy

After the potential he reached last season this is rough
- KreiderBomb

Team certainly isn't better off without him, I have to say this certainly changes expectations for this season as well. With the start, the lack of vets playing well, let's focus on developing the young players and if by the end of the season the youth hasn't done well in Quinn's mold let's move on from him as well.

Clearly emotion is not allowed so I doubt it

Without knowing actual particulars about the incident, further conjecture is beating a dead horse.

Let's band together and complain about them being down 47 seconds into the game around 7:17 this evening.

Don't worry I am sure Zib won't fall over all game and look like a zombie on the bench

Gorton’s decision, just about as good as trading Ryan Graves for Christmas Bigras

Could it be possible being a jackoff outweighs your athletic ability? It was never like that. But surely the world has changed. So I guess this is the new standard...asking for trades or being dropped at anytime with guaranteed money or not.

Agreed

Best thing that could happen to this team right now would be a Covid protocol stoppage, not very optimistic about tonight

Sorry, but this one can't be passed up...

When the (frank) are you EVER optimistic?!?!

If Zib keeps it up I'm making one for him.

I certainly understand where you're coming from, but I don't agree.
I think we're fine without him. He shouldn't play above Fox or Trouba. What I don't like is that we get nothing for him.
This is exactly why I wanted to sell high on him in the off-season. He has a history of being a head case and had a phenomenal season. Should've flipped him for top dollar value and gotten a cheap place holder awaiting the next kids.

Seems like from what NHL Network just said that there was some lingering issues from him being a healthy scratch, which just once again shows how out of touch Quinn is with his players, their personalities, and how to get the most out of a team. I know if I was top 5 in the league in points as a D man and a coach wanted to health bomb me after a 4-0 loss where everyone played terrible while continuing to play Jack Johnson I would have been fighting the coach to get traded out of town. Quinn is not a good NHL coach, his tactics worked in college but he's failed to get the best efforts out of his players and now he just turned a top 5 point getter into what's pretty much an untradable contract.

I can't find anything to disagree with here. We just have to hope Quinn improves.

From what I’m reading from the staff he’s well liked by his teammates, this is about him and Gorton, he didn’t like coming out for two games and Gorton made an excessive threat

Sorry, but this one can't be passed up...

This place will always be intolerable at times (I’m sure I’m a reason why lol) but we all just show our fandom in different ways. I love vin and we have our spats, I just disagree with how he expresses it lol and all the other stuff I try to laugh about it. Which NO ONE EVER DOES anymore (laugh about politics)

I was before the season started, it’s been a disaster, I don’t see a solution or any help coming, rest of the kids aren’t gonna be here any time soon

Its def a combination of Quinn and the front office. Let’s please stop acting like we all know the details. You don’t know what happen because you weren’t there. Stop acting like you were.

Maybe, maybe not. We might never know. No sense in continuing to be pissed about it. It really sucks because I thought they really had something with Tony, Fox and Trouba. But Tony didn't improve a bit in his own end and had little going on in the Offensive zone.

Water under the bridge.

I’m very glad JD came out and shot down the rumors going around last night, that was what really set me off, I hate the hypocrisy, shit triggers me more than anything, poor Miller got dragged into this mess because he’s black and it furthers their narrative, what they did was actually racist

It came to team chemistry over needing him in the lineup. They do need right now, but they won’t next season most likely (Nils)

I need you to know if I run into you in Suffolk somehow I'm punching you in the throat. Then we can shake hands and talk hockey.
