Jan, in your opinion, when should Drury be fired? Or do you think he should be kept?
This just extended him this season, I fully expect him to still be GM at the start of next season.
The question is, do they do the right thing and abandon ship with some of these players (to stock up on picks and prospects) or do they attempt to pointlessly buy at the deadline to try to make the playoffs.
i think we unfortunately all know the answer to that one. 🙁
Drury and anyone involved in player development followed by all tradable players need to go. Drury can’t survive another rebuild. He cheated on the first one and now we’re in a terrible spot. I’ll say this in his defense, Laf and kakko not working out probably is the nail in the coffin for this version of the team. I think every other GM would’ve taken those two players if they were in our spot so you can’t blame him for that. Development failed them and they’ve failed themselves. Everything else he’s done (or not done, I.e. getting a difference maker) is trash though
All of this is probably moot because the word is (and history would agree) that Dolan is not interested in a rebuild in earnest
It blows my mind that a 70 year old man that is apparently worth 2 billion dollars, can’t commit to a real rebuild because of some missed playoff revenue for a few years. Yeah let’s keep being 1 and done or miss the playoffs altogether instead of missing a few years during a rebuild and actually building a perennial winner/contender. F Dolan.
My biggest question is, what are they going to do with Panarin? We know Drury isnt a fan of his, Drury ripped Panarin after that ECF a few years ago, but if you dont sign him, it would look like they raised the white flag because there isnt another big FA player out there. Please I dont want to hear Mcdavid, he isnt coming here in 2 years, he wants to win a Cup, not hope to make the playoffs. So what to do with Panarin?
I say this with full transparency that I am wanting a full tear down/rebuild – any player should be on the table except Gabe. Panarin needs to be traded at the deadline no matter what – drury needs to find a way and take whatever he can get. resigning him for what he apparently wants is not worth it and will just be more of the same for this team.
Wtf is going on with this site. The last 3 blogs didn’t show up for me until today, and this one doesn’t show up on the homepage only at the bottom of the last page
I generally need to refresh the website a few times to get new things to populate. Not sure why it is like that, but that’s always gotten new comments/blogs to show up for me. I also go straight to the forum and do it there – seems more reliable to get to the comments and then the blogs.
This team just isnt looking good.
this is not a good team. annoyed i paid money to watch that last night.
Yeah, but for Quick… that was embarrassing at the end.
I dont think it was embarrassing for Quick, why do you think it was. What was an embarrassment was the the tissue crew of our “Core” Panarin, Mika and Fox not even batting an eye after he shot it in the net. I dont want a Morgan Rielly response but show some kind of emotion, it was pathetic and they were all standing within 15 of him. It came down to a 39yo goalie to show some emotion on this team. With just over a quarter of the season gone, this team is nothing more than a .500 hockey team that is nothing more than a bubble playoff team.
I honestly haven’t been watching – caught maybe one full game and pieces here and there. Doesn’t sound like I am missing much. I did see a clip from last night of JT losing the puck and not even trying to recover. Looked like that old Ovechkin controller disconnect meme from years ago. Will be at the game tomorrow against the avs – I don’t have high hopes lol.
If Tj isnt posting, there is something wrong.
this team is trash at home
The fact that they’re doing that well defensively is crazy after last season. I think the SJ and Calgary game were the only two games where that wasn’t the case. If they could’ve scored more early on they’d be well above .500
It’s a long season but I’m really impressed by a bunch of things, disappointed in some things and surprised by a few things.
They’re are on the right track which is a good thing back to being a good team. Sorry Brukie but they really are
TJ, good teams dont sit at a .500 record. They are playing a bit better defensively but cant score now. Mika has been in decline for years, Panarin was going to slow down too but jesh, they fell off a cliff. Its most likely the system Sully instilled. Our defense sucks aside from Gavrikov and and to a lesser extent Schneider. Fox is terrible defensively. Season is still young but Im not expecting more than a wild card battle from this group.
considering we can’t win at home, that wild card might be a good thing.
They jusy gave up like 8 shots for an entire game. Boom 180. A straight up genius at work right there
We should probably win a home game before we declare things have turned around. The 3 game streak is nice though.
i think some folks were still commenting on the prior blog, but was def not as lively as it used to be even with some activity on that one.
I’m having a hard time using this site too unfortunately. Maybe fortunately for some. But I find myself wanting to use it less because of the issues
i have to refresh the site like 5x for it to show me a new blog or comments. happens across multiple computers/devices. def annoying
Fox looks horrendous. Want to chalk it up to preseason, fine. But he just looks like there is zero effort.
bruhhh i’m dying. i thought i posted something on here. lmao
