fishbulb Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 @OccamsRazor Dude... you're getting close to "Mcfly" territory with your Coburn obsession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 @OccamsRazor Dude... you're getting close to "Mcfly" territory with your Coburn obsession. No obsession here just calling him out like everyone does to Mcdud, Nick, Luke, RJ and Vinny. Stop holding other accountable and not him. If he's the best defenseman he should play like it or close to it. Broadstreet called him friday so i'm just doing the same stop pretending he is doing ok.

ratskull Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I understand Hextall's rationale for leaving the young guys in the minors, but maybe having the GM make such a strong statement creates a level of comfort on the big club. Couple that with his recent statements on not wanting to make trades because all anyone wants is your draft picks and young talent and I think you get a room full of guys who put in sub-par efforts because they feel they are untouchable. This team needs a wake-up call or a stronger leader who demands more from his teammates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doom88 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 A stronger leader would be good too, but they don't exactly grow on trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakanekimiwa Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 If this is what they have to show for all of that practice, then maybe it's time to seriously consider removing Berube. I have to say, I'm not one to jump the Fire The Coach bandwagon early, but after I spied Umberger out for the 2nd PK unit, I finally tipped over the ledge. I'm done with Berube and his infinitely wise line juggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That trade was terrible. I understand ridding the team of Hartnell, but why not get a pick in return, instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see this team come back this year making exactly the same defensive mistakes as last year. Berube is starting to remind me of a hockey version of Collins.... let's all start praying the defense starts playing better <g>. I say bring up the kids... and make this team worth watching again !
