Just gonna add the mini bats are no joke. Street punks carry them, easy to conceal and basically a baton. I once narrowly dodged about 5-6 punks wearing balaclavas and all holding those mini bats. I’m glad they were idiots and I didn’t get hit

That’s pretty spot on tbh

Whatever happened to taking a beating and coming back with a bigger bat? This was a video coach, just saying.

So unfortunately his first moves as GM were to look for replacements for 2 of our top young players in Broberg and Holloway. We'll see what Podkolzin and Emberson are capable of this season. I will say that I was pleasantly surprised to see him squeeze St. Louis for an extra pick and prospect though. Even if neither hits, how often does that happen?

Complete disaster so far. Somehow made the D worse, has neutered the bottom six and didn’t touch anything to do goaltending or goalie coaching with predictable results. A horrible hire and it hurts knowing we flushed away the last real chance this team had at a Cup to give a mediocre GM a second chance he didn’t deserve in the first place.

To quote everyone’s favourite election reporter, “I’ve seen enough”. Bowman has until tomorrow to force two of a big trade, firing and/or benching or this is doomed to be a lost season. What a failure.

 

[McFlash97]

This POS GM killed our season the minute he let both our developed prospects walk. Fxxx this loser.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Finkle is Einhorn.

Lowe is Tambeliini is MacTavish is Chiarelli is Holland is Bowman.

This guy has under a month to prove he’s not the worst GM in team history.
GET US A F***ING GOALIE!

Bowman has been a Grade A disappointment thus far. His inability to make substantial moves is on par with Steve Tambellini.

What bs. He is playing it safe so far. I think he should make the moves that make the team better.

Not do stuff to look like you are doing stuff.

 

[jukon]

Too early to judge. Even at the TDL you think you'll have an opinion but if it ends with a cup in June it's all a part of the master plan.

Luke Glendening is calling. Jared Smithson of our time.
