[Reclamation Project]

I'll be honest, I didn't read the article. *crowd erupts*

 

[Trolfoli]

I'm just hoping DL can swoop in and steal Marchand when Boston makes an over reaction from loosing to MTL... just think

Marchand/Stoll/Brown... this needs to happen.

I would love that. Marchand should be on Carter's wing though.

Sharks to shake up roster; Dan Boyle, Martin Havlat won't return

The title is misleading; it's not really much of a "shake up," hell, you can't even call it a "shake."

Still, some interesting reading here.

Wish Dan Boyle was a LHD. Would be all over that for the right price.

Havlat was a press box pro. Who cares about that!

GM of the year - done. Takes Bylsma with him.

Won't take long for Shero to find work.

It was inevitable. One has to wonder why they let them dangle at the end of the rope for a few days, however.

Burns back to D is fine by me. One less big body to have to deal with on the forecheck.

Seems like a mistake, he has been awesome as a forward

You can't waste the prime years of Malkin and Crosby.

same thing i thought yesterday when i read this. Burns i felt was the one SJ forward that LA has no answer for. to much size, speed and skating ability for the current LA D men to truly match against. the caveman always worried me when he was out there

 

[Reclamation Project]

The Kings were afraid to look at him.

 

[TwzKing]

Ray shero fired

 

[BigBrown]

Between Lucic-gate and the Pens cleaning house I don't think there's any way hockey media could pay less attention to the Kings-Ducks game 7. Lebrun is a good egg though.

 

[Alternate Jersey]

Ray shero fired

i missed the beginning of the presser. is bylsma tentatively staying, pending the new GM's approval? or is bylsma gone too?

edit: someone just point blank asked, and they're not firing bylsma right now.

I still think he's done.

probably. i can't imagine a GM coming in having seen that gif of bylsma and crosby and them not thinking that bylsma has lost the room.

I feel sorry for whoever hires him.

ya TSN has more Montreal vs Rangers stuff than Kings vs Ducks and they are showing the kings game!!
Sportsnet is better.

It's Canada this is the furthest a tram has gone , in what 5-6 years?

Well Vancouver went to the finals in 2011 sooo.

 

[deeshamrock]

I still think he's done.

I do too. Maybe the new GM will determine that, isn't that what Vancouver did? I can't believe any new GM won't want his own coaching staff, esp since Bylsma has underachieved there for years and per john buccigross already aired the dirty locker room laundry concerning diffrences between coach and team.
As was pointed out Malkin and Crosby in their prime, can't keep choking. New GM will move some players as well, they need to have a tougher bottom 6. Never replaced what they lost in a guy like Talbot in that regard.

I think he will be an October/November firing.

I actually liked the fact that the Least Coast ignores California hockey. I could swear half the country said "who dat?" when the Los Angeles Kings appeared in the Stanley Cup Final in 2012.

LeBrun is a good egg because he is one of the few hockey writers out there who know how very good both the Ducks and Kings are. The winner of tonight's game has an outstanding chance of raising the Cup this year, and he knows it. For all the disrespect the Kings get, the Ducks get more and I'm just astonished how a team that finished second in the league this season is so ignored.
