I recall the move being thought of as a positive move. Away from the “Country Club” vibe. And everyone universally loved the Trotz quote of we want players to come here to win a Cup, not retire or whatever it was. That seemed aimed squarely at Duchene.
Sure, I can say my thoughts on it were, "okay, if you say so". There is absolutely no way for us in the peanut gallery to know anything about the inner workings, especially without any credible media.
Not sure what you’re saying but what I was saying IIRC is that we were all like HELL YEAH get rid of him! Then we were like OH WAIT THATS A LOTTA MONEY BUT SCREW IT. And now the dump looks reductive and stupid. But I wasn’t calling the board or individuals out. I think the vast majority of us were get these soft losers out of here. And the Duchene thing, maybe like Askarov, may be a big old WHOOPS.
No most people were like, well ok I guess there is something he doesn't like about him. Some thought it was silly, but I don't recall anyone standing up and saying that what he should do is get rid of Duchene. I certainly don't recall anyone thinking it was a good idea to buy him out. Maybe you are confusing him with RyJo? Now him just about everyone thought if we could move him it would be a good thing.
It's just another log to add to the fire of Brunette sucking.
Maybe it’s bad karma from all of our mean chants.
Sean Henry's Napoleonic Complex kicked in. Loved the spotlight and famous people instead of maintaining the on ice product. Catering to Bandwagon instead of Loyal Legion.
Yeah I think it’s the Dennis K Morgan curse
Will never forget that first playoff series with the Jets and their fans were all mostly complimentary of the Preds going in, and after like one home game it all shifted to crapping on us because the chants were mean. Some of those fans would go into every thread mentioning the Preds for like two years after that to complain about the classless fans and chanting.
I remember this. I also remember getting some shade from some journalists who were interpreting the chants for the national audience that wasn’t familiar with the Bridgestone experience during our run. I think Winnipeg fans were just complaining because they were insecure about the fact that we had the better team back then.Will never forget that first playoff series with the Jets and their fans were all mostly complimentary of the Preds going in, and after like one home game it all shifted to crapping on us because the chants were mean.

Glass has already missed about 10 games this season. Unfortunately, his health lives up to his name. I root for him but im not gonna be upset about it.
