Maybe all this is karma for giving up on two home grown kids just because they had an issue partying and a addiction to pills. Shipped them out of town instead of helping them. Man I miss how exciting this season was regardless of them winning it all. It was good hockey - to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I remembering travelling from Sudbury, Ontario to Philly for game 4 of the 2010 Stanley Cup finals against Chicago, the atmosphere in the building that night was unbelievable and unforgettable. It's sad what this organization has become. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Dog Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 To me, Brendan Lemieux was an exclamation point. I would actually be fine if Fletch didn't make *any* trades. I mean... I would be disappointed that the rebuilding team didn't try to acquire some picks, but at the end I would be OK. But acquiring Brendan Lemieux, who is NOT going to play more than 2 minutes a game in Tortorella's system (or any reasonable coach's system for that matter) was an ultimate, final **** you to the fans. There was zero sense in making this trade. This trade was plain offensive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people remember the goalie thing and the playoffs and tend to forget how excruciatingly frustrating and inconsistent the team itself was. The laissez faire "it's just one game" and "we'll turn a switch" attitude. They got in winning a shootout they typically sucked at even back then. They were infuriating. 1000 chances I'll take that over this team the last 5 years they time. Every. Single. Time. The playoffs were fun. The regular season was excruciating. It really wasn't just the goalies (that didn't help). That said. You have Carter Hart or even Corey Hart in goal (Corey's Canadian. You don't know!) we're going to a parade.

But a lot of that up and down play was the lacking of solid goaltending though I remembered a talented top 4 D and 3 solid lines and an effective 4th line that played like a 4th line was supposed to play. Pronger leading the way with a 50+ point season and two 30 point seasons from Kimmo and Carle. Being lead by 2 30 goal scoring centers. And then G and JVR chipping in in their early 20s. Boucher was not very good when he played except till the last game of the season and it took Leighton punching above his weight to shoulder the load that finally broke down in the Finals. Sure that season wasn't the 1986 Edmonton Oilers but it was gritty grind it out hockey. Loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been open for a complete rebuild and tear down for months. YOU are the one who lobbied for making trades because… according to your words… a .500 level team who needed to trade for superstars to get this team over the hump. You completely flip flopped on your POV. Don’t deny it… I can pull your posts if you liked. YOUR words stated… It is not the FO or management fault. I can pull that post also…. My post was pure sarcasm to your ridiculous statements…. What I wanted was for this FO to make moves in ridding this team of dead weight and clearing cap space all the while gaining and stockpiling draft picks…This idiotic FO did neither….. Flip flopping positions proves you are talking out both sides of your mouth and that you really don’t have any credibility to your posts…. you know what your problem is, you are not happy about anything this fo does, all you want to do is complain about everything because it's not done your way, too bad. i swear if this team traded for mcdavid and matthews, you would still be miserble about that because we traded away picks which for some reason you just hate the fo doing. you are not going to happy no matter what the fo does even if we did win the cup because it's not the done your way. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what your problem is, this team is horrible, the GM is an idiot, the entire front office is just an old boys club who doesn't have a clue what they're doing, the result is it's going nowhere while being maxxed out at the cap with limited draft picks and you're fine with that. Sorry, but, I'm not ok with my favorite team being one of the jokes of the league. And that's what they are.

I'm pretty confident my goldfish could run a team better than it's being run. They fired the guy who cleared cap, loaded up on draft capital, then replaced him with a guy who traded away picks, blew the cap and has the team in decline. How you don't think this is a bad thing I have no idea. Clearly it matters where we pick. I mean I WANT Bedard. I'd be happy with Fantilli. But we'll probably end up picking 6-10.

So use names like Manny Trillo, Ron Cey, Olga Korbut, and Bill Russell. He won't know the difference. Make sure to mention that for certain Olga Korbut is the next Matts Sundin but more multi-positional. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samifan Posted March 5, 2023 Author Share Posted March 5, 2023 Tried of hearing Chuck say it’s really hard to move money. I just venmo’d my son $250 for college expenses and found it relatively easy.

The Stars moved Khudobin - which was widely regarded as nigh impossible. The idea that NO ONE was interested in an expiring half price contract on a 20-goal scorer seems... Unlikely. More likely no one will deal with the Flyers on nothing significant. Fletch has acquired two injured players and heavily overpaid for another.
