Thornton is done. Why is he playing. Obligation to a good vet even though he’s not pulling his weight? No no he can sit. It was a bad idea. He’s less than useful

I don't even know what you do with him at this point. He looked so promising early on and just faded.

Ok great idea so lets give him a good rest until then. Seriously man. If we lose wednesday to the Jets we are 7-7 for march. I know it doesn’t sound like much but thats 25% of the season. So we can afford passengers how? Dubas sitting back watching this month go by without doung anything is despicable. They knew f****** well they had 2 injured goalies too. This little brain child is getting on my last nerve. Have the fan base doesn’t have a clue.
We wanted more physical after Columbus last year and we got older and slower. Then Brenden Lemieux goes for a 4 and this idiot running this team can’t move on that player. Jumbo plays 15 minutes and the story line is all cozy and cute raaaaa raaa pommm pompom. I have about had it with Dubas

I think that’s where the real challenge is ....
I certainly would be managing all of these players ice time and even games for here on in till the playoffs
I have to agree. He looks finished. Last night, he was a zone behind everywhere

I can’t disagree about last night ..
But I actually blame Keefer on this one
Manage his ice time and game time more until the playoffs and even then ..
Selected times and situations and games for this great future HOFer

The team is still to soft for playoffs Teeder. If he leaves it like this we are done first round again and he’s fired as G.M. I’ll saybthere you go smarta$$. He doesn’t know goaltending and he doesn’t know composition of a good team. This is not looking very good right now. If this team goes on a skid here coming after this crap month. We are scraping by with no mojo going in to playoffs again. And still soft as butter but older
I agree to manage his time for the playoffs, but what concerns me is how quickly he faded. Playoffs are a grind, and if he fades again, all the moxy and veteran presence does little from the press box.

I love your "Teeder Keon" reference as well. Very cool.

Oh don’t get me wrong ....
I totally think we are too soft for the playoffs ..
We are in full agreement there !
But that’s not on Jumbo
He has been used way to often in way too many games ..
He should be used on very select situations
And you know what , I’ve actually heard him say that and I’m pretty sure he’s ok with that to win the cup ..

And I would almost kill for Reeves on out 4th line
You would see X % increase with all our elites players points with him in the line up and you would AM and MM and WN and the rest with huge smirks and the best swagger and more points a team ...
Believe me when I say this ...
Every player on our team would be playing 3 inches taller
think Semenko on those great Oiler teams and think back at what Gretzky and the rest always said about his presence and how important he was .!!!!!
Imagine one of the all time greatest players saying that about a 2 bit in reality 4th liner

It is on him. It’s on Keefe and it’s definitely on Dubas. If we lose Wednesday against the Jets and i think we will. We had just played 7-7 for March,25% of the season and keefe is playing Thornton and Dubas knew our goalies were both injured the entire time. Just saying what I’m watching. Lots more i was watching too.
Soft teams start losing when teams get their mojo going mid season plus kind of range. Not only is it happening again,it’s a pattern. They don’t win playoff rounds either. You think the soft Senators that we put out every year weren’t more talented than our teams. Darn rightnthey were but we pounded them physically and in net every time. They outshot us 2-1 in them series.
Apparently Dubas hasn’t read that book yet
Junbo is legend and another HOFer like Marleau for sure ... no disrespect here ... but common man he can't even skate at a junior level right now ... it is over ... father time has won .. might as well put him on LTIR with freddy both right now and bring them back once playoffs start ... anyone else would help team right now ... like Paddy was in his 2nd year whatever line you put Jumbo on right now is playing short handed

Well, we pay him league minimum so it’s fine to get this level of play out of him.

True, at least this San Jose corpse is eating a lot less cap space than our previous San Jose corpse. And it won't cost a first rounder to get rid of him either.

They actually couldn't place him on waivers anyway without his approval due to the NMC in his contract. Mind you, I doubt they'd do so even if they could.
