Big John got dumped by the UFC years ago and I'm not sure you have the hair to be Herb Dean or the mustache power to be Mike Beltran

For the record...pre Kotkaniemi...pre Dvorak...pre Price...I was the one saying this team wasn't going to be good and potentially using this year as a reset wouldn't be a bad idea.

Glad you're all coming around and recognizing how ahead of the times I am

There's alot of room in the #Pessimistplane it's a airbus A380

Aim for Mike Beltran...the mustache is the stuff legends and dreams are made of

I'm a pessimist by nature. But I'm not sure this is pessimism as much as a sober look at a severely flawed roster and recognizing that, compared to it's peers, it is incredibly likely to come up short.

Then everything this summer happened and it made it painfully clear

Every couple of summers Bergy has a really bad one like when he thought he could strongarm Markov for 500K or replace him by Alzner.

Will need your scouting report for a sudden interest in the guy since yesterday.

I believe that was also the Rads isn't loyal so get a dog summer and the Drouin can be the french Canadian savoir at C so let's trade him for Sergachev summer. What a summer

I'm not Eklund. Don't worry. 60% of the time, I'm right every time.

The word gud scares me...worse if followed by the word pro. Essentially makes me think the guy is an offense free Claude Julien wet dream

If you want loyalty, go buy a dog.

Also,

These guys are human beings with feelings and families

You said the same thing last year.

Almost word for word.

Didn't turn out too bad eh?

I've said many times people don't think about how many business decisions are made with great influence from WaGs but fans get all emotional and almost expect home town discounts and other BS they themselves wouldn't even consider if put in a similar position.

And dogs are awesome and I'd recommend everybody gets one or more

Actually that's pure BS and I challenge you to find that. I applauded MB last summer, loved the Anderson trade, loved the Toffoli signing and price tag, supported the Allen and Edmundson trades. Sorry bud but I'm calling absolute BS on your revisionist history and truly challenge you to prove your claims.

Anybody can make things up to drag people but I feel confident you won't follow up on this

I'll even go a step further...my prediction last summer was 4th in the north and a team designed to do damage in the playoffs. Pure BS your comment is

I agree about dogs.

But didn't Markov's ex-wife die that year and he had to fly to Russia to go get his kids mid-season, came back like a (frank)ing trooper then you let him go for 1 year of contract?

Then he cries because Carey is depressed in a press conference.

Calm down. It was a joke, hence the winky emoji.

There's just so much negativity around here it's hard to keep track of who was in despair when.

But you're right, I won't try and go a full year back to try and find that one post where you might have or not said something. I'll just take your word for it.
