Smh Carolina gave them no talent.
Good to see Suzuki off to a good start.

I agree. I think my overall point is this shitty situation is more 50/50 that we as a group allow at times. This guy got forced to the table and was fed a poop sandwich. It’s good for us and our prospects that it happened but I don’t have a problem with him not being happy about it. It’s not actually our team and it’s obvious this situation must end at some point. There’s a fit somewhere out there for Chicago.he’s just a rich guy whose ego got bruised so he’s whining about it. Dundon would be doing the same if roles were reversed.
He ate a big turd samich with undigested peanuts in it and we all enjoyed it.I agree. I think my overall point is this shitty situation is more 50/50 that we as a group allow at times.

No he was fed a poop sandwich because it's what he deserves. Like @Stickpucker said, he's on his 4th marriage and still blaming his ex's, he can't fathom that maybe HE'S the problem. He's the only one that can't understand the AHL is a primarily development league, if he wants more control he can always grab an ECHL franchise. He literally got a championship the first year with us (and lost to us prior) and is bitching about what the team is giving him to work with. He's the guy who pulls out in front of you, forcing you to slam on your brakes, then flips YOU off for hitting your horn and "almost hitting him"...he can eat the shit sandwich.I agree.

And I thought I was the most annoyed about last year.No he was fed a poop sandwich because it's what he deserves.

I'm actually not even that annoyed about last year, way more by the Canes-Checkers split. His attitude, twisted narrative, & narcissism/refusal to admit any fault just grate my nerves (I'm admittedly bit overly sensitive to his kind of self-delusive narcissism since I was in a bad relationship with someone like that). Not that it's not at least partially TDs fault, but this dude is acting like he was the victim of bullying and was 100% innocent.And I thought I was the most annoyed about last year.
I just think having an old fart with zero filter be the opposition to be hilarious and this is fun to watch. I don’t think he’s all wrong. I like opposing viewpoints and what I really like is I don’t think it was all about money. I also think if we were there for all the actual talks we’d probably think this was a 50% TD’s fault. Maybe more.
No, Dundon gets lots of stick, some deserved, but Chicago’s issues have nothing to do with Dundon. Rather, it’s all Levin based.I liked the interview with the owner. He doesn’t like TD. LOTS of people don’t like TD. He didn’t criticize the players on this years team, he criticized the staff because he doesn’t believe they have the right people in authority roles. TD always wants to give people chances who are hungry and cheap. It’s a fair criticism. He’s old school so he doesn’t like how we’re doing it, he’s had a generally successful organization for a long time so there’s really no reason to think he’s incompetent. He doesn’t accept our thinking and to him it’s important to win. I can accept that.
He does criticize the team he was given a couple of years ago, and maybe that was fair. This years team he got sent a bunch of key players from us that have zero experience. If I was looking to win I’d be curious about that too. This bunch has pretty good talent, and presumably he’ll be won over. He’s the owner not a coach. This sort of thing happens we just don’t see it, which is why I love that we see this!
I think he mostly doesn’t think our staff is qualified and that we could use a few more vets which from his angle makes sense.
