f***ing Woof to this.
Hilarious. Anaheim Ducks boys club in DoPS. Is Ryan planning to move to Vegas too?
f***ing Woof to this.
C’mon, that’s a bullshit response.Because they're buddies and the league is REALLY eager to get sued.
They have a problem with their integrity and professionalism in their upper management.C’mon, that’s a bullshit response.
Look. I dislike RG as much as the next person as an opponent hockey player but when you get hired for a role do you try to sabotage your hiring organization from the start?
Anyone that thinks so is naive.
Give the guy a chance. I don’t like Brendan Shanahan as prez of TML but as person involved in DOPS he was pretty good.
Real question to you:
Rather than staffing as they have what would your ideal leadership look like for DoPs? Dr Fauci notwithstanding?
I don’t disagree with the bolded.They have a problem with their integrity and professionalism in their upper management.
Their player safety is a joke, they need to hire competent people, not buddies for jobs. At some point someone or a group of people will sue this league and the league will lose because of all of this nonsense.

Purseboy however is in 7th Heaven thinking about how his Insta is going to blow up and all the new Captain themed merch he can sell to his adoring zombie fans. Ladies hiding in their cars from him won’t be able to resist his flashing them now, especially with the C he will tattoo on “Little Mathews”.
I posted he was older years ago. Naturally the Oilers took him 1st overall because Oilers.
Honestly, you can't really criticize this pick. He was fantastic in the year before his draft year and looked like an absolute star in the making. Without proof he really was older he was the natural pick. Even his rookie year was quite promising. Then Eakins happened which was probably the worst possible thing that could have happened for Yak. Not that he would have ever reached his pre-draft promise, but a different coach could possibly have made a difference.
If he really was 20 then sure. But I still have never seen compelling proof of that and as far as I know there was nothing concrete back then.Most 20-21 year olds look great compared to 17-18 year olds. Coaching has made zero difference anywhere he has professionally played.
Look at the analytics provided above.
He is a fraud.

It is very possible no coach would have made a difference. I can't convincingly contradict that. But he did not have to reinvent the wheel to play in the NHL. His rookie season was one of the better ones in quite a while. He had a legitimate case for the Calder. All a coach needed to do was teach him a few basic things but Eakin's absolutely chaotic approach was completely opposite of what he needed. Compound that with Eakins strange perchance for benching him when he was playing well and the combo could not have been worse. While evidence is against Yak, we just never know if he could have been salvaged.
I teach for a living. Over my nearly 45 years I have found few people who can't learn basic things if you break things down in the right way. Of course, some don't want to learn and others are just to lazy to put in the time. I don't think the latter applied to Yak, but perhaps the former might have been the issue.
It's not a question of learning from a book. I coached football for years and its not all that different from teaching in my discipline. It's a matter of breaking down basics and presenting them in a way that an individual can relate to.Learning from a book is different than having the innate skills it takes to be a pro hockey player. He had plenty of other coaches on plenty of other teams. Can’t pin it all on Eakins.
Like Puljujarvi their poor hockey IQ was overlooked by in PJs case size and in Yakupovs case his scoring in Jr against kids 2 years younger than he was.

Let’s just forget about him and move on. What an abomination.I like the part, when during and after the Soviet occupation of Tatar's the area went to shit. It was Ivan the Terrible, Tsar of all Russia in 16th century who сonquest Kazan. You never know, maybe for five centuries the Tatars continue to hide their dates of birth.
In Yakupov's case, there were some rumors, but mostly from unreliable sources like his "uncle". But who knows...
I don't really get why the DoPs isn't run by a former ref. They know the rules better than anyone, there isn't as much of a perceived conflict of interest and you have to worry less about nonsense like hockey code or unspoken rules being taken into account when punishment is being decided upon.C’mon, that’s a bullshit response.

Theyve been involved before. It’s political between the league and the ref union though. That’s part of the problem of DoPs. But again don’t shit on a player because they hire him.I don't really get why the DoPs isn't run by a former ref.

I don’t disagree. I don’t have anything against Getzlaf. I do think that Parros has proven to be poor at the job though.Theyve been involved before.

Take it with a grain of salt but my friend's uncle was a scout for Columbus during that time and said something similar but also about maturity issues and how they had Murray at #1. It's quite common for players from that part of the world to have forged birth certificates to gain a competitive edge in sports.I like the part, when during and after the Soviet occupation of Tatar's the area went to shit.

The dream is over.
I thought every Canadian hockey player dreams of nothing else but winning a cup in Toronto. I guess I may have been wrong all these years.
