You can say what you want, but you going all white knight served no purposes, really.

Andrei79 targeted me and and I had every right for a comeback. And I did that and that should have been the end of it. But then you had to butt in. And at that point it's a just pilling in.

You basically defended someone who had struck the first blow. (probably cause you agree with him) So good for you, champ. I've seen this happen so many times in real life like two people are having an argument/fight and an idiot comes in out of nowhere and all it does is make things worse.

But he would never accept. He lives in Florida and doesn’t want to move his family back in Canada.
He coaches his sons elite hockey team in Florida and that team needs to travel far distances for good competition - he won’t move till kids are grown

I think bringing in a better defensive coach might help. Getting a solid vet for the bottom 6 who’s tough and solid defensively. Hopefully Laine returns soon and can produce.

I was in the “keep Matheson” camp, but I’m convinced they need to move him at the deadline. They do need at least 2 vets back there though.

I'd try and trade Matheson and whoever else is not in our core going forward for 2 tough defense-first all-vanilla d-men with zero flash. Guys like Hakanpaa, Dillon, Gudas, DeMelo etc. Get shored up defensively, add size and toughness.

Challenge for any rebuilding team looking to turn that corner and "be in the mix" is to acquire quality veterans. If they have options, they would most likely not sign with a rebuilding club.

I really don't like how the team is playing 5 on 5. I think they need a fresh voice. We're just a bunch of confused players on the ice right now, doesn't really matter who's wearing the jersey with the exception of a few.

What a lame comeback. Keep projecting.

What projection? You went into something that was none of your business. Even Andrei79 laughed at my comeback cause he's a good dude. But you decided to make it a thing. Typical Karen on a plane move. Maybe you should ask to talk to the pilot?

I'm sure Mr. Hughes would like to talk to you while his plane is going down.

Honestly, I had nothing against your initial post. I just found it to be an easy target/low hanging fruit for my degeneracy.

Guys, no hard feelings. Let's direct our anger towards the right people, Sens fans, Shane Wright, long necks and degenerate mods like @MarkovsKnee (no ban plz) .

Also I was Hugues id stop trading for those 21 year olds players that can't break it in modern hockey.
Newhook Dach Barron
shit aint it

Dach was a high risk high reward, never know how he pans out. Barron/Newhook we knew right away because Sakic sent them our way. As if Kent is coming out on top, with a HOF player/gm and his evaluations on the other side lol.
