[Hamilton Bulldogs]

It can't be worse than the 9-2 game last year...

right!?

 

[WhatTheDuck]

No name goalie better be ready to stand on his head

 

[GermanRocket7]

I have a bad feeling about this.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Might as well get this in early

0-4 since captain cams return, ruined the team chemistry.

W/ cam senators completely abuse us

W/o cam we beat the sens

Coincidence I think not

 

[Arthuros]

Well I'm sure this will go well...

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

6-2

Terry scores a goal on a hero effort

Mctavish scores 1 in the final 10 mins when the game is out of reach

At what point does Cronin just call pv and say hey I’m not the man for the job

Coach Cronin whenever his team takes the ice and a camera is in the building:

Honestly, just shut us out and save me the effort of updating the thread.

It is genuinely amusing that we are one of like 7 teams that have not been shutout yet this season.

You get a call from the Samuelis and learn they have made you GM for the day. You can make three moves before the game tonight. What are they?

Killorn for McDavid at 50%.
Strome, Gudas for MacKinnon & Makar at 50%.
Orange for purple & jade.

or

Re-sign Cronin 8 years, 12 AAV.
Re-sign Killorn 24 years, 8 AAV.
Move the franchise to Boise, rename it the "Boys". Boise Boys.

Fire Cronin
Trade fowler for a top 6 forward with similar contract
Trade Johnston

 

[quackquackquack]

Here's the thing about this team - we could very well come out and surprisingly take 35 shots, score 4 goals, and play solid defense. You just never freakin know with this team. And they TEND to play better on the road.

 

[Deuce22]

1. Trade Fowler for a winger
2. Start looking for a coach for next season that will install a system that plays to our players' strengths.
3. Look to get out from under Killorn and Gudas contracts.

 

[Leonardo87]

Cronin needs to just run a line of Cutter - Leo - Terry. Cronin is too stubborn to change lines. Even after they have only scored 5 goals in the last 4 games. Not good!

Fire Cronin.

Hire Boudreau as interim coach for the year.

Trade Fowler.

Since we're dreaming...

1. Fire Cronin
2. Hire Paul Maurice
3. Trade Anaheim's roster for Florida's roster

If nothing else, it would be an interesting experiment to see if there really is such a thing as a "losing atmosphere" that hangs over a franchise.
