    Theyre by far the worst team in the nhl.

    Does getlaf and perry move? Is there any  value in perry to be honest... 

    8goals for vs 37 ga  in last 0-7 stretch

    How do they still have a coach?

     

    The question is....is Getzlaf willing to go anywhere at this stage of the game? He already has a cup.

    And Queenville is sitting out there.  Wow

     

    He's not going to go into that mess! He's sitting back and waiting for the right time and the right team. I don't think he's looking to get involved in a

    rebuild.

     

  3. I take issue with Green telling the team not to go after Matheson because of the score. He wanted to win the game. What a crock of shit! Sorry guys! Here comes the old The Old Rainman surfacing again. Sort of where our conversation left off last week about fighting in the league. If it was me Matheson would have been used as a mud flap on the team bus.

    Yes, 100%.  But how many fights have Crosby and Malkin been in?  15 total in their careers (7 for crosby, 8 for malkin).  Changing the penalty from 5 minutes to a game misconduct will reduce fighting to only the absolute bare minimum required for keeping the star players safe.

     

    This going to be my last comment on this because we're just chasing our tails. Crosby and Malkin aren't in many fights (but they would be) but as I said take fighting out of the game and every little rat and weasel will take liberty with the top players because they won't have to pay the price. Who's going to pound the day lights out of the rats/weasels and get thrown out while they continue to stay in the game. There are reasons why the league is no hurry to remove it and it's not a over site. I've been to a gazillion games in my 70 plus years and never once I have seen people get up and leave a game because of a fight or many fights.

    For the record,  I am anti fighting in hockey,  and I HATE Marchand,  but Marchand was in the right here. Washington's goal celebrations have gotten so obnoxious... someone needed to do something. This is the game policing itself to maintain certain aspects of its character and integrity. 

     

    Fighting should result in an automatic game misconduct,  in my opinion. Players would still do it when necessary,  just like charging the mound in baseball. But it would be done sparingly... once every 15 or 20 games. 

     

    Really James? So if Crosby or Malkin end up in a fight because they are defending themselves I would hope that you'd be all in with their game misconducts. I've been listening to let's get fighting out of the game since Christ was a carpenter. It might happen one day but I doubt it'll happen in our time. What are you supposed to do when your goaltender gets run over? Now all of sudden you want fighting back in? The players still like policing themselves. When and if fighting is out of the game the rats will be coming out of the woodwork!

    As a Habs fan it strikes me as curious that we talk about a missed opportunity with Brisebois but no talk that one of the best GM'S in Hockey is suddenly available.

     

    I know in this case Yzerman is most likely going home to Detroit but it's annoying that the only people deemed to be "qualified" to coach or GM in Montreal have to speak French. 

     

    I'm pretty sure that's why I was passed over as GM of Montreal because I didn't speak French. Rotten buggers! I thought I had it aced!
