He did an absolutely unmitigated crap job in Minnesota. I don't understand why they'd do that. 

 

I'm telling you, they hire him I'm out. I swear to God. 

 

I'm hoping its' just to report something....anything...but yeah i am with you, they hire this guy i am going to have to be a full time Canes fan or something.

I'm honestly starting to go through a checklist of potential new teams. I got nothing.  Would probably lose interest in the league to be honest.  There are players elsewhere that I like, but not really teams. 

 

It would definitely be bandwagoning, but probably the Jets. But there are several players I like. Canes would actually be on the list. 

 

But I really don't see myself being a fan of another team. I didn't find another team when Vick was on the Eagles. I just fell out of paying much attention. I imagine this will be much the same.

I am going with the Canes because they are down here in the Carolinas where i live.

 

I would be a full time fan if i wasn't a Flyer fan first.

 

The only time i saw the Flyers play was when i lived in Greensboro when the Canes played there.

 

Paul Coffee was a Flyer then BiG E, Brindy, Johnny Leclair and Rico. 1997-98 his (Coffee) last year in Philly.

It makes sense with you living there. 

 

I have a problem, though. I'm very close to State College, PA. My other "local" team in the Pens. 

 

Ain't happening.

Of course Rick would pick him up at the airport and deliver him to his favorite closet team....

Holmgren is against tanking. What other experience would a Buffalo AGM have than tanking?

JJ just said some interviews are already scheduled with a few candidates. Where’s TMZ...

 

They also said Danny Briere is in the building tonight.  He was on some of the lists that I saw.

**** it, I want Homer to trade for selfish players that have a shoot first mentality and want to pad their goal stats.

 

Tonights game would have been put away if they didn’t default to the extra pass EVERY DAMN TIME they have an odd man rush.

Not sure i wouldn't want him as a GM like i seen his name kicked around but i would be cool with firing Knoblach and trying to see if Danny could help kick start the lame power play....couldn't hurt.

At this point the whole damn coaching staff needs to go.

So, I don't know much about Fletcher. Just looking through his record while GM, it seems decent, albeit middling as a playoff team. 3 misses, 4 first round losses, 2 second round losses.

 

What's the knock on him?

I think he frittered away a strong prospect pool, signed two players to huge contracts that limited his ability to acquire other pieces.

 

He made a move for Thomas Vanek ?

I always felt that those Wild teams should have been better. Whether it was coaching or not having a true 1C or whatever, I felt like there was a lot of "waste" with that organization.

You're probably closer to Buffalo than Pittsburgh...

They pass first because they are built for shinny. No hitting, no puck battles, floating up at the far blue line, and calling rent a goalie when the regular guy can't make it.

Well who ever it is i hope they find him quick before Holmgren does something stupid...

 

 

Why Homer???

Why? That stupid thing he does will probably happen in the next hour.I'm starting to think that Olive Garden stole this team's motto..."When you're here, your family (Addendum: *you don't really need to be qualified for your job)".
