A role? Lol. He's absolutely destroyed the morale of this team. They are playing like a bunch of guys who f***ing hate each other and are forced to accept a crackhead laughing at them by contract.
Saying 92 isn't part of is the problem is just disingenuous. 7M we couldn't use, again. Who knows when the f*** he ever plays.
It's a completely different problem from 13 but saying it's not a problem it's just a flat lie.
I'm not mad at 92, like I'm with 13, but it's still a f***ing problem.
Sir, you provoked a response with your observations, which I 100000% agree with. Beg my pardon for launching on the heels of your post, which I agree with wholeheartedly.
To the rest, skip the following. SKIP THE FOLLOWING. Been warned.
Was going to stay mums but you hit on a major part of it. The camel thru eye of a needle is easier than the construct of excuses this team is operating under. Nuke blowing up this team, twice… Landy as much as I would love for him to come back, the eternal excuses that led to mums-ing any response about his potential return awhile ago… the perpetual excuses about george’s play, Cmac and Bednar’s endless tap dancing instead of being honest around explosions in your face issues…. this team is a hot mess of cock and bull dodge ball where straight talk was needed the first time nuke blew himself up.
As much as I want to drink from the Cup again (by correct, proper invitation incl to the Hockey Hall of Fame permission), this dodge and weaving and I’ll say it, dishonest style by the powers… I soon will hope some of the star players opt away. Makar to Calgary. Mac to a winner. george to Dinamo (sick allegory). Talent is getting wasted and it is a shame. Not for lack of trying. But for lack of honesty. I am not down with this latter caudling effusive aka Bednar and company style. Barely worked once. Ain’t working now. Be honest or this team is hurdling to laughing stock territory.
You cannot excuse behaviors and realities (status of cartilage transplant is an awesome prospect, but be honest ffs) into winning in case one hasn’t noticed. This honesty sheit should have been addressed over a year ago.
Since no one has asked me shocker, I’ll say it… there is no way in the universe I would let nuke anywhere near this team ever again after his Seattle romp I don’t care what his salary or skillsets are. Once burned, TWICE now? I mean… how much poison do you want to put in the team’s drinking water?
The media is sheit in this too. Asking the hard driving questions? Don’t insult.
Am saddened. And would love to be wrong about this caudling dodging dishonest style of leadership being the correct way towards an elite, winning team. Others can fill in the rest. I do the Piraat and get behind this team if they can congeal into a winning construct. Because it means players have found a way to come together. If they don't... I have some dart board targets to give away for free.
Have exhausted my once yearly boring as sheit leadership launch, mebbe.
