NHL and other ice hockey discussion

He's so full of shit it's unbelievable. In Vancouver if sports radio people were criticizing, he took time out of his day to call in and whine like a little girl. One time, his wife called in to defend him. Bizarre...

My personal favorite is when he fucked up at the draft two year ago (and again at deadline this year), and said that he could have made a move if he wanted, but didn't think any changes were needed The guy is full of hot-air, total lawyer and a major a jackass.

He is pompous - but still a better GM than a lot out there.

No doubt about that... in the salary cap era, having a lawyer as a GM is a benefit. Gotta know paperwork.

Full of shit? Yup! but he still got you BOTH of the Sedins

[Godfather]

Yeah he did, that was a big movie. That's just one of the reasons he's constantly employed in the NHL. Doesn't mean I like the guy.

[samarchepas]

He keeps things interesting in the league...even if it doesn't always go his way

[Godfather]

No doubt about that... his absolutely spiteful hatred of the media is always entertaining Love to see them piss him off. Surprising he's never beat one up.

[samarchepas]

And the medias absolutely LOVE him (He made an hour long press conference IN MONTREAL after he fired Wilson!...don't see that every day )
more than a few reporters from RDS said they got more content from him in an hour than Gauthier in 2 years .

[Godfather]

About as much as Don Cherry loves him eh

[samarchepas]

Lost AGAIN against Calgary yesterday (That's what happens when you only have one line that does anything...and defensively...horrible )

[Godfather]

Canucks lost a second home game in a row

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Canucks lost a second home game in a row

The B's aren't exactly tearing things up....they are 4-5-1 in their last 10 games

[Richard Cranium]

and the Coyotes are back to normal,, :suck:

[samarchepas]

Max Pacioretty got his 30th goal of the season (More than Ovechkin with 27....) Quite unbelievable when you think of what happened to him a year ago when he got hit by Chara.(It did exactly a year yesterday)

[samarchepas]

Andrei Markov back in the lineup tonight for the Habs, I'm happy to see him back BUT I'm REALLY nervous to see him back against the Canucks...I would have waited against a weaker/less physical team.

[Godfather]

Didn't matter... Canucks blew it. Fugggg


In other news, this talk of bringing back the red line seems like a terrible idea The game is finally at a good pace.

I do like the talk of changing OT to be longer or included more 4v4/3v3 time. No doubt in my mind the players will go for that. I doubt there's a guy in the league who will sit there and say they think winning an OT game proves who the better team is.
