The more we go back the more skill and speed signings killed Gorton. We must have had a legitimate query into signing Matt Martin. $1.5M with the Islanders. We went with Blackwell and Rooney, two great players this season but skill and speed. Let Fast walk, traded Staal, bought out Henrik, cut DeAngelo, traded Lemieux. Soft college coach. Dolan may be an idiot but at least he's got a legitimate concern about how we're building the team. We could have signed someone with some size and grit. Gorton was too extreme with it and failed to notice that Dolan wasn't a fan of the team identity.

P.S Quinn is through and through not an NHL coach. Our top 6 carried him. Now they're not responding to him anymore.
 
I'm going to have to go for supper now.

Here are a few jokes to hopefully give some of you a smile or a chuckle. I may have used one or 2 before, but in case people have missed them, I included them again.

The New Husband Store

renderTimingPixel.png

A brand new store opened in New York City that sells husbands. When women go to choose a husband, they have to follow the instructions at the entrance: "You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are 6 floors and the value of the products increases as you ascend the flights.

You may choose any item from a particular floor or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you CANNOT go back down except to exit the building!" So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. The 1st-floor sign reads: Floor 1- These men have jobs. The 2nd-floor sign reads: Floor 2- These men have jobs and love kids.

The 3rd-floor sign reads Floor 3: These men have jobs, love kids, and are extremely good-looking. "Wow," she thinks but feels compelled to keep going. She goes to the 4th floor and the sign reads: Floor 4- These men have jobs, love kids, are drop-dead good looking, and help with housework. "Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!" Still, she goes to the 5th floor and the sign reads: Floor 5- These men have jobs, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with housework and have a strong romantic streak. She is so tempted to stay. But she goes to the 6th floor and the sign reads: Floor 6- You are visitor 456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that some women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store!!

To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner has opened a New Wives Store across the street. The 1st floor has wives who love sex. The 2nd floor has wives who love sex and have money. The 3rd through 6th floors have rarely been visited.

Timmy and The Clowns

So, Timmy just loves clowns. Favorite thing in the world. He's got a clown bed spread, posters in his room, the whole shebang. Totally idolizes them

One day, Timmy sees that the big top circus is coming to town. He gets so excited that, when it finally arrived, he camps outside the ticket booth, waiting to get the best seat in the house. And when he gets it, he camps for another two weeks outside the big top in anticipation.

The circus finally comes around to starting, and Timmy is ready. He buys his big popcorn and soda and sits in the front row. The lights dim. Then the elephants come out on their balls, then the tigers and the acrobats. Then the clowns roll up in their VW Beetle, all piling out one by one. Then the head clown steps out and heads straight for Timmy, who is bristling with excitement.

"Are you the horse's head?" The clown asks. Timmy was dumbfounded, not knowing how to respond. "Then you must be the horse's ass!" The clown finishes. The crowd roars with laughter.

Timmy himself is decimated. His idol, role models, had just humiliated him in front of hundreds of people. So Timmy made a plan.

For the next few years, Timmy dedicates himself to studying the art of witty comebacks. All through high school and into college he obsesses over it, finally graduating with an English degree majoring on witty comebacks.

Then, one day he sees the big top circus is back in town. So he camps out for two weeks in front of the ticket booth and gets the very best seat in the house. Then waits another two weeks before the show starts again.

He goes in without popcorn or a drink. He needs to focus, make sure he is perfect. Then the lights fade. And the elephants come out, and the tigers and acrobats, and finally the clowns. Just like before they all pile out of their VW Beetle, and the head clown walks straight up to Timmy.

"Are you the horse's head?" Asks the clown.
Timmy grabs the microphone and yells
"f*** YOU CLOWN!!

A Touching Elephant Story

In 1996, Mkele Mbembe was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University. On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Mbembe approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Mbembe worked the wood out with his hunting knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot. The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Mbembe stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually, the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away. Mbembe never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

Twenty years later, Mbembe was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenage son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Mbembe and his son Tapu were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Mbembe, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man. Remembering the encounter in 1986, Mbembe couldn't help wondering if this was the same elephant. Mbembe summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing, and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Mbembe's legs, and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.

Probably wasn't the same elephant.
 
If I could keep only one of the three, I'd keep Buch over Zbad and Stome. With the caveat I could find some other centers, which seems like will have to happen no matter what.

I think its an earn it thing for Vitali. Hes been real quiet the last 4 games and 1 period.

Yeah. Quiet. Like on a team that gets more decimated by the day, spending half your time on the 4th line quiet. What the f*** has Brodzinski earned? An AHL career, I suppose. Let the f***ing kids play the last damn 2 games of the season. Maybe they pop a few points and come to camp with confidence. Jeez. The time for earn it is over. Start fresh with it next year, sure. Standards and accountability. Good. Right now? Just let the kids have 18 minutes to see what they’re capable of. What on earth could it hurt?

Dolan reads the board and he too was pissed we didn't get Bennet. My sources say that was the last straw

It’s weird that he went for speed but the rangers play like the slowest team a majority of the time. They were definitely faster last season. This season is a lot of standing still and oddly timed line changes.

Their breakouts are consistently subpar this year. Fox is the only decent puck moving dman.

The more things change, the more they stay the same:

Bitetto playing instead of Reunanen
DiGiuseppe playing instead of Richards
