If Koivu and Vanek are still on this team next season there's no reason to support them. We'll never win anything with those two pieces of **** on the roster. Overpaid, overrated, pathetic losers.
This team is 3-12 against the Blackhawks in the playoffs.
Three and ****ing twelve.
I want to see heads roll. But I know the old boys club will protect everyone just like it protected Gardy through how many Yankees sweeps. That's just the Minnesota way. And we'll watch the prime years of the best team we've ever had go out with a whimper.
I don't want to see Vanek anywhere near this team next season.
I like the young core of this team. Lots of potential there.

But how the **** are we ever going to go deep with this group of veterans? Seriously? They're just not good enough and is management just going to sit tight with them? What is the point?
Well, what're you gonna do? Just trade them all away for peanuts? Buy them all out?
They are going to be here.
Then we're stuck watching a team that will make early playoff exits year after year, or not even make the playoffs at all with the rest of this up-and-coming division.
Priority 1 - Find a new head coach (and there will be
Priority 1 - Find a new head coach (and there will be plenty to choose from)
Priority 2 - Come up with a long term plan in net
Priority 3 - Blackmail Vanek to get him to drop the no movement clause
Priority 4 - Evaluate the hell out of the offense and start moving some pieces....a few big pieces if necessary
Priority 5 - Get Prosser the #$@! out of here for good!
It's like players don't get better with experience.
This team will be better next year.
That can be priority 7.Priority 6 - Fire all the scouts
No, they won't. When you have a coach that refuses to play the young guys over the veterans, no matter how bad they're playing, the veterans will always drag this team down. And our young guys are a great core, but there's not that high end guy or two to build around.
Honestly, start a rebuild now, so that by the time it's done, our young core will be in their prime still, not going downhill like our core of veterans is now.
