They talked to him as I would imagine a GM would do. I am sure they talk to a lot of players.

-7 in 7 games. I am sure this Board would have loved the signing - not.

1 - 6 record with him there. I guess he was the missing piece for us. I stand corrected.

Never stated it was a good idea. Just that you could find out yourself pretty easily.

Would put Quinn with Krebs and Robinson and make them the 3rd line
- Buff36

Olofsson-Jost-Okposo...




Agree Quinn needs to be with the 2 guys that arent black holes and Robinson(Grinder)-Krebs(Playmaker) would fit with his style on paper.

But man that 4th line would be something awful

Kinda like saying our centers suck because Krebs has only 2 goals this season


Comrie is the back up to the back up
- Boss34

And he had to play when they demoted Levi - this year's starting goaltender btw - when they realized he was #notready

Bad plan was bad

Olofsson-Jost-Okposo...

Should be getting about 2:30 in ice time a period, so shouldn't be that horrific.🙏

Would be getting 5+ and we all know it

If you think trading for 'a guy' is going to make a difference, it's not.

he talked yesterday and today about how they expend all of their energy in a win and play like they have nothing left the next game. they're still figuring that out, so he says.

Why. Why is a team that's loaded with young, prime talent, unable to learn how to marathon the season instead of full blown sprints, then rests?

Why are they only able to occasionally play 40-60 minutes?

Why are their offensive systems so ineffective?

Definitely not because we didn't trade for Brett Pesce and not sign Tomas Tatar.

The "fourth line" or what should just be called the Spare Parts line is an abomination that wasn't handled by this feckless GM, and combined with injuries, rode it all the way to (frank)ing Christmas.

With Quinn, Greenway and Skinner in, you have 4 lines doing something. And the Spare Parts Gang can (frank) off.

(frank) Clifton.

I caught pieces of his time on the radio this morning it just sounds like he makes a bunch of excuses

These guys are young, should have plenty of energy after a win when its not back to back. Its simply a pathetic lame excuse covering himself for not having the team ready on a nightly or even period to period basis

Donnie said all three could return by Saturday.

Do they go the coward route with demoting Levi, or do they trade Comrie tonight?

Eh, I don't read it like that, making excuses. What he's saying is real, it's just that him and his staff have not had success creating a playoff caliber team.

Put them in Harbour Center, no Women for the Season. It weakens the knees. Half these guys got married or engaged the last few years, to much Sex during the season.🤏🤷

Looks like Bryson cleared! Shocker.

Ryan Johnson is scratched

They are excuses. Its his job to have the team ready and his job to ice the best lineup

Something he can't figure out

Looks like Bryson cleared! Shocker.

Kev and the boys are goin out to celebrate tonight

True - you are not wrong.

- ieetbred

Of course it's his job. I'm just saying, the reasons behind why they look the way they do, he explained it and it makes sense.

What I am saying is, yes, those things are happening, but you, Don, have been unsatisfactory in removing that problem.

He explains the issue and he essentially says they need to learn it themselves through experience. Which I'm not confident about.

Because even if they do, their structure sucks.

Yea im done with him

Some of these guys that come from junior have been playing 60 to 80 games a season since they were 16. Not every win is emotionally draining and not even a hard fought effort

Its sad this is even a problem here

Adams and staff seem unwilling to relent on making one of their key prospects available as part of a trade (Savoie, Ostlund, Kulich, Rosen).

I wonder if they are willing, and teams would be interested, in any of their second tier prospects (Poltapov, Strbak, Wahlberg, Neuchev).

Are the Sabrses willing to trade Mittelstadt to upgrade at forward or defense?

Are they willing to trade Samuelsson for a better, true top 4 defender?

How dare you.

I don’t like the coach either but juniors 60 games and NHL 60 games isn’t a fair comparisons.

I don't disagree.

I think their emotional energy would be better if they were having more fun playing like they did last year. It's a non tangible, major difference.

Winless rookie goalie up tonight.

We're (frank)ed.

They rid themselves of Bryson finally... I have hope.

They are still playing hard

Or supposed to be anyways

We're gunna outshoot them 2 to 1 and lose by 4
