Tribute NINE Years of Next Year

What would it take for this fan base to shrink? Ownership needs a fire lit under their ass*s and that's the only way.

Marners walking 100% so we are not replacing a 100 points without him, we need to change our game and how we play.

Who knows, maybe a very defensive team opens up next year with new signings.

Knies grows another year he's a big game player, Cowen could still be a gem.

Matthews won't be "hurt" even tho he is every damn year. Who knows.

Time will tell. I'm being optimistic and nice, but I'm still very angry with this team and Matthews lack of killer instinct at all come playoff time and elimination games.

It doesn't work.
 
I think there's been some bad luck mixed in with underperformance.

There are lots of those elimination games they didn't close out, where if a few pucks went in instead of hitting posts, maybe we're looking at a different story.

Overall we had some good years and yeah, it got depressing watching the same story unfold, but it's a heck of a lot better than being Buffalo, plus we got to watch the chase for a 70 goal season.

Trade the entire core 4 and replace them with third-liners like this board wants, they will then start missing the playoffs, and the fanbase will shrink.

Nobody said that. Mitch is not the core 4, you guys need to deprogram, Mitch is not the team. We will be fine!

No one is saying Mitch is the team, but I've seen a lot of posts about trading everyone and building around Knies, which means a 60 point player (likely less without Matthews/Marner) who put up a 44 point pace in the playoffs, is who you are building around...

Seems like people miss 2015.

So just tell them. You know what you are right and then say but for next year we need to let Matthews Nylander Knies and maybe JT have a chance to up their value. When we start winning and are in playoff contention they will forget about this and we can talk about deadline deals etc.

Losing 6-1 at home twice in a row at home is bad luck. Losing embarrassingly 9 years in a row is bad luck.

As a fan it's like watching the season finale of Seinfeld every year. It sucked, you know it sucked, you know what's going to happen but you just keep watching it year after year expecting a different result and then getting disappointed when it's the same shitty ending.
 
You can win with Sid & Geno being the top dogs and Phil the thrill on the 3rd line.
You can't win with 4 Phil the thrills being your core...Shanny refused to see it, refused to change from it, that's the nail in his coffin.
 
Does anybody have these game cards for other series?
