I get the feeling Tocchet and Co have told the team to dish to Petey on the power play. It's a good call, we haven't seen that crazy onetimer that often this season.
 
And we have seen this. Gillis didn’t play ball with the media and look what they incited.
f*** the media. They put their interest ahead of fan interest and ran the best GM out of town and supported an idiot for 8 years
I actually agree with you about the media, both sports media and the media in general. It's poisonous.

Gillis' drafting was legitimately so much worse though. Like, it felt like an achievement if his draft picks were good enough to warrant a contract for crying out loud. At least Benning's prospects felt like prospects, even if they never reached their potential.

Gillis wasn't here for long and he picked late for most of his tenure because of the success he brought the team. In spite of this, he identified our scouting as a huge problem with the franchise and began overhauling our scouting department bringing in guys like Brackett while also finding guys like Tanev who is better than some of the top 10 picks we had after Gillis left. His scouting department also rated Horvat extremely highly and we can see how the scouting staff he built did with that one.

It would feel like an achievement if you had an opinion good enough to warrant a post
 
Have we given Joshua a decent look higher up in the lineup yet this season?

Sure, in Abbotsford. Which is too bad because I liked him early on.

I think he's too slow and also plays slow. Good around the net, and that's about it.

Again, for the thousandth time, because some things are BIGGER than hockey. You can argue about how easy our media went on management for hockey stuff but it's pretty clear why things are intense right now. It's not all about hockey.
The exact same thing happened last year with Green. We were hearing Julien being Benning’s choice before jerseys were thrown to the ice. After that it was BB being the replacement. At no point have we ever heard the media talk about wow the disrespect to Green. How could they treat Green like that. How could they let Green dangle like that. Nothing, nothing even remotely similar.

because he missed the net by ten feet or misses the puck

he’s been monstrous at es, but awful on the pp
 
I agree but this isn’t really the place where those fans exist, majority of HF despised Benning but we’re the minority compared to casuals.
Well that’s the thing, the media defended Benning for 8 years despite it being our darkest period in history. We suffered and those media assholes fan that on.
