Randy Cunneyworth coached Bulldogs was an AHLer contender: http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/leagues/seasons/teams/0007912011.html

Pacioretty and Desharnais had career years and were called up 25-35 games into season and the team still made it to the 3rd round of playoffs.

People keep saying Lefebvre is doing a good job because Gallagher and Bournival made NHL and Beaulieu looks like he's on the edge but it doesn't take a good coach to get 1st rounders and top prospects to the NHL. Cunneyworth got players to NHL and won games with a worse team on paper. We all know that he isn't exactly a good coach himself.

Lefebvre is working with a lot more NHL bound talent and the team has looked horrible on most nights. This is the worst 2 year stretch for the Dogs in their entire history of existence. No other coach has gone 2 seasons of the poor play. Not even Clement Jodoin and the horrible 11/12 team: http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/leagues/seasons/teams/0007912012.html

To be fair, MacIntyre and Sanford are good AHL goalies. Dawes is a good ahler and possibly better than St. Pierre.

The dogs suck and Lefebvre isn't doing well, but the team could be better with another good ahler 4 lyf and a good ahler 4 lyf dman.

Basically.

With Beaulieu up and Nygren gone the team has 0 PMDs. And Macenauer isn't good enough to be a #2C. Fill those two slots with ahl vets and they're an above average team.

Don't think Bergevin is going to "dump" a player he picked up for this time of the season. Murray isn't going anywhere.

Good call. I didn't think of that. Trade deadline is approaching and I can see Bergevin dumping Murray if something is offered.

Or, will we keep both in the line-up for a playoff run?

as long as they don't make a murray-tinordi pairing

I suppose, but isn't Murray essentially keeping Tinordi's spot warm? If Tinordi's ready, do we have room for both?

Yeah, don't necessarily understand since Beaulieu's call-up has been a big part of the team starting to win again.

Honestly, if Tinordi is ready, Beaulieu should be up and they should find a way to clear some spots.

Gorges-Subban
Markov-Tinordi
Emelin-Beaulieu

I figured Beaulieu would get recalled.

Im pretty sure management didnt like his play with the Dogs during the Olympics break, he had an awesome first game, but it went down after that.. Personally Im ok with the decision, its part of the learning process and Beaulieu should be back soon enough..

I think Justin Courtnall is going to be my next Greg Stewart where some reason I see him being a future NHL 4th liner and he ends up not even getting another AHL gig.

It's hard to play NHL style hockey and travel 1st class, and be forced to play AHL slow hockey and travel 2nd and 3rd class...(and be paid accordingly)

No it isn't. Cleaning hospital toilets and digging ditches is hard.

Beaulieu hasn't earned anything yet. A couple of good games in the NHL doesn't mean that you can take it easy when you're sent down because of the Olympics.
